Is this for National Dex AG?
Instead of psychic fangs on Zacian, I would say swords dance.
Zacian already has coverage against fighting types with play rough, and he is relatively bulky enough to take a hit and set up swords dance. Plus three attack Zacian is super scary. (Hop almost swept me with it ;-;)

(also poison types get walled by Zacian's steel typing)
Supposing Nat Dex AG because only format where you can use Calyrex-Shadow and other Galar legends + Arceus, the asker's About Me also mentions them playing Nat Dex AG.
It's nat dex ag and I have psychic fangs because of eternatus and other scary poison types

Zacian-Crowned
Looks fine, but Psychic Fangs is kinda useless. You already kill Eternatus with Behemoth Blade, and Poison types other than Eternatus are extremely uncommon. Besides, steel is immune to poison. Replace it for Wild Charge and maybe replace Play Rough with Swords Dance. Also, Jolly>Adamant.
Deoxys-Speed
Looks good.
Arceus
Let’s go for some more attacking. Speed EVs>HP EVs and a Life Orb, as well as EQuake over Recover. Also, Jolly.
Calyrex Shadow Rider
Nasty Plot over Energy Ball. That huge SpA boost is, as the name suggests, nasty. Also, Psyshock over Psychic to hit Special walls such as Chansey.
Dusk Mane Necrozma
DDance without webs isn’t very good, so let’s go with Physically Defensive to wall Zacian-Crowned.
Mega Scizor
No. It’s not really good in AG. Let’s swap it for Mega Rayquaza.
Rayquaza-Mega @ Life Orb
Ability: Delta Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake/V-Create
- Dragon Ascent

And here’s the updated team! Hope this helps :)

Autotomize works better on NDM as even after a +1 Zac-C and Cal-S outspeed and revenge kill it.
And Adamant > Jolly on Ray.
If you use Autotomize then you can't break past bulky Pokemon and if they don't activate WP you're basically useless to the team. Getting revenge killed by those above Pokemon isn't always true since you can always Dynamax. But it's true that DD NDM requires Web support to be useful.
wait but if i was fighting against a jolly zacian with my adamant one then wouldnt my adamant one kill it?
