Team Mythical is for doubles and singles format for series 7 get this team by entering the team code in the rental team bar and type the code 0000 0008 GJLT G1 incase you missed it.

Kartana strategy:

Kartana will be overly used in the series 7 meta and i predict it would have an assault vest or a life orb and will be paired with mostly water types my plan is to bring a rilaboom and dragapult lead then grassy glide the water type and flamethrower kartana then finishing their leads ( though the water type pair was just a guess )

Stakataka strategy:

Stakataka will repalace dusclops as top trick room settler and getting body press is even worse tanking pokemon with 211 defense at 31 ivs in defense with fairly high special defense and will probably be paired with a follow me user being impossible to beat bringing coalossal in including indeedee using follow me gives the opportunity to hit stakataka even in trick room with a heat waves making follow me useless.

tapu koko strategy:

the most probably going to be used with alolan raichus paired to it the plan is to lead a coalossal with my dragapult thus mostly outspeeding the tapu koko then coalossals gmax move into tapu koko with a guaranteed 4HKO though goodra can instead replace coalossal and OHKO tapu koko which can go as another lead replacing coalossal depending on the lineup of the opponent.

Landorus strategy:

Landorus guaranteed to be poupular thats what made Ttar have unnerve cause of Landorus's ability sand force which makes landorus benifit from a sandstorm thus being paired with tyranitar or hippowdon my plan is to counter it with goodras max hailstorm which will mostly OHKO paired with Ttar or Coalossal to benifit from the sandstorm.

if there are any strategies i mist or any strategy plan I can improve on pls feel free to comment down below and feel free also to use my team and if you find any strategies pls comment down below as well.

A great website on figuring out the metagame:

I used it for my first teambuild which was a trick room team but moved on to showdown but still use it for the usage stats of each pokemon

I have a couple of suggestions for you.

First, Sand Force Landorus is NOT something you need to prep for. Practically everyone using Landorus will be using its therian form, since it's more powerful and has intimidate. Even if you do run into a landorus-incarnate, it will most likely be sheer force or have their own Tyranitar to activate Sand Force already. Sand Stream is much more useful. Moves are good ( you can use superpower over brick break if you want) but a good standard spread is max attack/HP, minimum speed, weakness policy.

Tyranitar @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Protect
- Superpower
- Rock Slide
- Lash Out

Using protect on a Choiced Pokemon is almost never recommended because you'd lock yourself into it. It's okay if you plan on Dynamaxing Rillaboom often, but you'll usually want another attacking move like superpower or wood hammer.

Goodra really struggles in Series 7. The Tapus are all back, giving a lot of fairy types for it to deal with, as well as lots of popular Ice-Weak pokemon, making ice beam or ice punch a very popular coverage move, not to mention Dragapult and Togekiss being unbanned. I'd suggest dropping it since you already have dragapult.

Dragapult is very strong next to Indeedee because of Indeedee's follow me + ghost immunity, so to capitalize on this, a dragon dance set is nice. Clear Body prevents intimidate, which is much more useful than Infiltrator. You probably don't need a max max spread because of Dragon Dance, though.
Dragapult @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Phantom Force
- Dragon Dance
- Protect/Fly

Coalossal also suffers in this format. Landorus-T and Tapu Fini are both on over a quarter of all teams and hae 4x Super Effective moves. Dracovish also got sand rush as well, so it can outspeed Dragapult and OHKO Coalossal, so I'd drop it as well.

Indeedee is good support but you don't need 3 attacking moves. Run Follow me, Expanding force, and Protect/Heal Pulse/Helping Hand/Safeguard.

Finally, for your last two slots, you have lots of options. I think that the best Pokemon for you to consider are Dracovish/Dracozolt, Dusclops, Landorus-Therian, and Incineroar. Dracovish and Dracozoltboth have Sand Rush to pair with Tyranitar and have the option of Bulldozing to activate the Weakness Policy. Dusclops can also proc the weakness policy with bulldoze and both set Trick Room as well as stop it from Stakataka with imprison. Incineroar is good general support that helps with Kartana, and Landorus-T (preferably Scarf) can deal with Tapu Koko. Ursifu would also be a good fit because you don't have a good Celesteela answer.

Extra thoughts:
- If you don't want to use Incineroar, Assault Vest Rillaboom could be helpful for Fake Out Pressure. (AV Rillaboom is probably more consistent in general.)
- If you opt for Landorus-T, Togekiss would be a better follow me Pokemon for your team because of the ground immunity.
- If you decide to go for the trick room route, Amoonguss is another great redirector that is great in Trick Room.

I hope this helps!

(PS: If you need feedback on a team, it will save you a lot of time if you fully decide what you're going to use before getting the Pokemon in-game.)

Ttar: it runs brick break  to remove veils and screens though i am aware of ghost type + lapras weakness policy forcing Ttar to activate it. I am not running sand stream cause of the crown of tundra more new players can use terrakion for it is somewhere in the crown tundra so I run unnerve instead and it also prevents bulky pokemon like stakataka from restoring health especially with a trick room in play.

Goodra has a high special defense stat making dazzling gleam a 3HKO and is on every tapus move pools though I only run it when Landorus appears and there are no fairy or ice type pokemon for it will be useless in those situations and I would run dragapult with coalossal and correct it would be rarely used in showdowns list cause of its struggle against tapusif they don't have they have the right evs and ivs in special defense.

Coalossal has base 30-40 speed making it good for trick room it  can adjust to situations like that or run steam engine with dragapult by using surf and coalossal can actually take a hyper voice from a liquid voice primarina would need a 2HKO from max health and dragapult has 213 speed even with evs for sand force only doubles it not triples it if I am not correct I did not use any sort of calculator for this but if you tried or comment thank you for your support!!   
 
 
Put this on a comment on gallade's answer
ok sm 4evr i think I just forgot sorry...
Terrakion is not that popular right now and if it you do see it, you shouldn't be leading Tyranitar anyway.
Stakataka hardly ever runs a recovery berry, nor do most Pokemon. You'll get much more value out of sand stream.
Sure, Goodra has a high Special Defense Stat, but what about Mamoswine, Glastrier and Dragapult, all physical attacker and fairly common?
The problem with Coalossal is that Landorus and Tapu fini are the Top 2 Pokemon in the game, both of which hit it for 4x super effective. It's just hard to justify using, especially when you already have a rock type.
