Seems like a very solid team, but I would change a few things. For Zacian, I think Close Combat is usually better than Play Rough to cover Arceus and Steels. I don't really understand Taunt on Calyrex-S, I would so Nasty Plot is better. Setup sweepers are already stopped by Ditto. Defog Lugia I think should always have Heavy-Duty Boots, and Toxic might be better than Aeroblast. I don't really understand Maximum Speed investment, Lugia is meant for bulk. Ditto usually runs max HP and Defense (just for Struggle). It's just a tiny detail, but speed cannot be used at all once transformed, since you copy all opponent's EVs, but I just wanted to point that out.
Thanks for the advice. First, I'd like to start with the fact that Arceus isn't in Gen 8 AG. I don't really find myself having trouble with steel types. I like having taunt to deal with status moves and setup sweepers and such, but I will see which works best. I'll do Defense for ditto. I'll switch to heavy duty, as I was already considering that. I will switch around moves and EVS with Lugia to see which works best. Once again, thanks for the advice.
Ah okay, I'm always used to seeing National Dex AG and not regular AG. In that case, I think Play Rough can be kept, or another move like Substitute to avoid being reverse swept by Ditto.

Don't wait for me because I have my classes that will go for more than 2-3 hrs.
