Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Draco Meteor

Dragapult is the main special attack of this team. There's not much to him besides U-Turn maybe being replaced with T-Bolt, but not sure about that.

Sableye @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Knock Off
- Recover
Sableye serves as the main stallbreaker and support Mon, being able to lower physical sweeper's efficiency with Will-O-Wisps, lower other support mon's efficiency with Taunt, and help take care of items with Knock off.

Corsola-Galar @ Eviolite
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Strength Sap

The big defensive Mon, G-Corsola can also help provide support with Will-O-Wisps and Stealth Rocks. Strength Sap also helps replenish it's health a bit.

Mimikyu @ Life Orb

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Claw

Mimikyu helps serve as a good physical attacker and helps take care of Dark types. Disguise lets it get off a free Swords Dance no matter what.

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Close Combat

Aegislash serves as the last powerful Physical attacker on this team, likewise being able to get off a mostly free Swords Dance and hit hard like Mimikyu.

Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Is it a coincidence, or the team appears a bit similar to the first team submitted?

Dragapult

Your set looks very good. You could consider Fire Blast over Flamethrower for a bit of extra damage if you want, but that’s really up to you. You don’t need to replace U-turn with Thunderbolt, as U-turn is essential to pivoting and Thunderbolt doesn’t hit all that much that one of your other moves can’t get.


Sableye

This is the Smogon set, so it’ll serve you perfectly well. I have no complaints.


Corsola-Galar

You could try Haze over Strength Sap to stop attackers like Spectrier and Hydreigon from setting up and wiping your team, but Strength Sap usually works perfectly fine.


Mimikyu

I personally like Drain Punch in place of Shadow Claw on my Mimikyu (I also play Ghost Monotype) in order to hit Steel types and give Mimikyu a reliable source of recovery. However, if you feel Shadow Sneak is not adequate Ghost STAB, then you should keep Shadow Claw on the set -- just be aware that Steel types will wall you far more easily.


Aegislash

A defensive set with Toxic, King’s Shield and Leftovers could work quite well, but you definitely need multiple attackers on this team. I’ll post a defensive set, so you can playtest each one and see what works best for you.

Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Substitute
- Toxic
- King’s Shield
- Shadow Ball


Gengar

Very solid set. You could try a Focus Sash or perhaps a Life Orb as an item instead if you find that you don’t need the extra Speed the Choice Scarf brings. Thunderbolt is a viable coverage move as well, and it can be helpful in place of Focus Blast.


Overall, this seems like a very good team. There are more options that you can use, like Spectrier to snowball quickly, and Blacephalon to provide extra lines of defense against Steel types. You’re weak defensively, with vulnerabilities to common moves like Sucker Punch, Knock Off, and Shadow Sneak. Plan accordingly, and keep playing, keep experimenting until you find a good balance. My advice is by no means definitive, but I hope I helped at least somewhat.

Thanks for the advice. I think for now I'll stick with the current Aegis set, but I'll try T-Bolt on Gengar and Drain Punch on Mimikyu.
Happy to help!
