Other than Kyogre, all these choices are either ranked very low on the VR or aren’t ranked at all and have……questionable sets.
lol for some reason I thought this was NDAG. Like Primal said, these choices aren't very viable except for Kyogre.

Dawn Wings Necrzma
__
Kick that Dawn Wings Necrozma off you team. Lunala has the same typing, but it's a lot better. For one, it's speed stats are pretty decent for National Dex AG, which will help... assuming your opponent doesn't have any hazzards, which won't pose much of a threat(I hope), because Lunala can use defog AND roost. Now you might be like: "But Dawn Wings can learn Photon Geyser!" Well, Photon Geyser won't save you against a Bisharp at half HP. It'll either doneright one-shot DWN or leave it at like, 5%, and then they pick you off with sucker punch.

252+ Atk Black Glasses Bisharp Throat Chop vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dawn-Wings: 468-552 (117.5 - 138.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Okay nevermind.
Now let us check how DWN does against Bisharp

252+ SpA Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Moongeist Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 138-163 (50.9 - 60.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Okay, that's pretty bad.

by the way, don't even think about Photon Geyser.
Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Photon Geyser vs. Bisharp: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Okay, that's sucktastic.

Now we go to Lunala!
Lunala @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Shield
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Defog
- Moongeist Beam
- Focus Blast

252+ Atk Black Glasses Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Shadow Shield Lunala: 408-482 (85.3 - 100.8%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Okay, that's kinds bad, but better than DWN.

252+ Atk Black Glasses Bisharp Throat Chop vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Shadow Shield Lunala: 336-396 (70.2 - 82.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Still better...

252 SpA Lunala Moongeist Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 114-135 (42 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Yes, it'll be useless against Bisharp.

252 SpA Lunala Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 728-860 (268.6 - 317.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Now Lunala whips Bisharp's butt.

Now back to my Lunala set.
Lunala @ Leftovers/Weakness Policy
Ability: Shadow Shield
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Defog
- Moongeist Beam
- Focus Blast

Roost gives it longlivety, plus the chance for Shadow Shield to activate again. It's just at full HP, not a one time chance. If Lunala heals to full HP with roost or leftovers, it'll take 1/2 of the damage at the next attack, effectively making it's two x4 weaknesses x2 weaknesses. Oh yes, you could run weakness policy for a long sweep, but if you want a more bulky Lunala, leftovers is your choice.

Darmanitan(galar)
__
Next up on the list is Darmanitan. You'll want nax attack and max speed with 4 hp evs, not 8 hp evs and 248 attack evs. Everything counts! Other than that, it seems fine.

Reshiram
__
Kyogre is OK, but why would you want to lower your special attack w draco meteor? It'll just ruin your day. Unless you want do d-max ur Reshiram, I'de go for Dragon Pulse instead. You don't need 260 base power(130x2) to beat dragon types. 170(85x2) is OK, with Reshiram's immense special attack. Yes, there are some extremely bulky dragon types out there((f-word) you Guzzlord!), but you use Lunala as bait and mow them down w Focus Blast(against, Guzzlord).

252+ Atk Choice Band Guzzlord Outrage vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Reshiram: 542-638 (134.1 - 157.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Reshiram won't get any love here.

252+ SpA Turboblaze Reshiram Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Guzzlord: 854-1008 (131.3 - 155%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Okay, I was wrong, but a harsh lowering of your special attack isn't worth killing one pokemon and neutralizing your attacks.

Magearna
__
NO NO! You've gotten Magearna totally wrong! It's set should be something like this:
Magearna @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Shift Gear
- Iron Defense
- Stored Power

The more you stock up on those stat boosts, the stronger Stored Power becomes. Just watch out for Marshadow's Spectral Theif and haze users!

+6 252 SpA Magearna-Original Stored Power (620 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Shadow Shield Lunala: 462-544 (96.6 - 113.8%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

That's a high chance of getting a one-shot kill!
Oh ya. Also, Magearna hates dark types.

Urshifu seems fine.

Hope I helped!
PS: I hope it didn't fry your brain!

Oh ya here is an example of Magearna's success.

Here, Magearna runs over an entire team 'for fun'.

Why are you using Bisharp and Guzzlord for calculations lmfao? I know nothing about AG but even I can tell that this advice isn't the greatest
Yeah Bisharp sucks in AG same with Guzzlord if I could downvote I would. Also I think Magearna is mediocre in AG too. Lunala is almost never offensive due to Calyrex-Shadow outclassing it offensively in every way. Also usually people use Poltergeist>Spectral Thief due to Poltergeist hitting harder. Also Weakness Policy on Lunala sucks due to all of its weaknesses being 4x. Also Urshifu sucks in AG,  Please actually LEARN before you rate teams.
That Lunala set is…weird. I don’t think you realize that the choices on his team weren’t good in the first place, and you hardly did anything to improve them…

Also, a low ladder replay isn’t going to make Magearna good, sorry
Your lunala calcs don't make lunala seem like a good choice at all, there is no need to use offensive lunala in the land of calyrex-shadow. Have you ever heard of switching? It's the thing you drop a draco, it gets rid of any stat boosts or drops. Magearna is no good at all. Guzzlord and Bisharp are both terrible.
