Format? Is it Gen 8 OU or are you playing online SwSh?
@tinymushroom i am playing online swsh and will be ou or any format
What's the item on Aegislash?
@Kreyalis OU is not a format you can play on your cartridge, and "any format" is just unhelpful. If you're playing single battles in your game, then you're playing a format called Battle Stadium Singles (currently Season 8). It is important that you specify the format you're playing because the advice you'll get will differ greatly depending on what it is.
Here is a resource that will help you become acquainted with what Pokemon are good in BSS. You should pay the most attention to the 'unrestricted' part, which will carry over to seasons where restricteds are not allowed: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/series-8-sword-shield-bss-viability-rankings.3679374/
It's fairly clear you didn't build this team with BSS in mind, which is your main problem. Next time, you should research the battle format you're playing before you start teambuilding. Your movesets aren't awful and would improve with more reading.
Why Roserade?
This is almost the same as https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/329751/what-is-a-good-in-game-team-for-sword-and-shield?show=356118#a356118 , which is a post intended for in-game play.
