Rate my National Dex AG Baton Pass Caly-Shadow team

Question

I have had a lot of success with this team. I have lost a couple times, so I want to know what I can improve on. Pokepaste can be found here.

Calyrex-Shadow @ Focus Sash
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Astral Barrage
- Draining Kiss
- Baton Pass

Obviously this team is mainly revolved around Calyrex-Shadow. Nasty Plot to set up, Astral Barrage for STAB, Draining Kiss to regain health when necessary, and Baton Pass to pass stat boosts to Yveltal.

Yveltal @ Life Orb
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Oblivion Wing
- Dark Pulse
- Heat Wave
- Focus Blast

My Dmax Sweeper. Oblivion wing for recovery, STAB, and +1 speed boost when Dmaxed. Dark Pulse is powerful STAB. Heat Wave to hit things like Zacian-Crowned. Focus Miss-erm-Blast to hit things like Ttar that may show up.

Arceus-Dark @ Dread Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Judgment
- Recover
- Refresh

This may seem like an odd choice, but I have it to make sure other Ghost horsies don't go brrrr and wreck my team. Calm Mind is to get buff when necessary, Judgment for STAB, Recover for healing, and Refresh so Toxic doesn't kill me.

Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb
Ability: Desolate Land
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Atk / 220 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Precipice Blades
- Stone Edge
- Roar

Weird set time :D
Stealth Rocks for hazards, PBlades for STAB, Stone Edge for birbs and other flying stuff, and Roar to get rid of Baton Pass, Set-up Sweepers, and other stuff like that. Max Defense is so opposing PBlades don't OHKO (without crit).

Zacian-Crowned @ Rusted Sword
Ability: Intrepid Sword
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Behemoth Blade
- Close Combat
- Wild Charge

I needed a Physical Attacker so here we go. BBlade is STAB, Close Combat for Steels, Arkoos, and other stuff, and Wild Charge for Water types and Flying things.

Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
Hidden Power: Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Transform

I have Ditto in case things spiral out of control and I need to revenge kill or something. HP Fire is if Xerneas with Hidden Power wreaks havoc and opponent sends out a steel type.

So yeah. Let me know what I need to improve and what I should change. Thanks :)

It can't hit fairies and Substitute and I like my accuracy.

Your strongest and your weakest link is the same Pokemon , Zacian.

While it has a good set of ev's it has a not-so-good moveset which is because it has substitute which is not a bad move but with wild charge , well your Pokemon will be in a bad state . You also haven't given it any hp ev's to make this moveset worthwhile. Instead of substitute you can add a coverage move like psychic fangs or dig.

Other than that your team is good.
But I have built a new moveset for a Pokemon to remove ditto because he wasn't doing you any favors.

Galarian slowking @choice scarf
Trait: curious medicine
Evs: 252 hp, 252 sp.atk, 4 spe
Modest nature (+sp.atk,-atk)

• Trick
• Eerie spell
• Nasty plot
• Sludge bomb

This set is tricking choice scarf than trolling with eerie spell . Nasty plot to set  up and sludge bomb is stab.

Um what the? @GeniusGatik942 Primal Groudon isn't staying to Calyrex-S either, and no one uses Soundproof or Suction Cups Pokemon. Regardless, Substitute is actually used. Its not only for that, its for reliably phasing. Do you want to lose the match to a set-up sweeper only because your Dragon Tail misses? Not hitting Xerneas is bad as its a thing Don usually checks.

---

Learn how to play the game before answering. Slowking-Galar is terrible in NDAG, Wild Charge is good on Zacian-C, and Dig is completely godawful.

---

Ditto is also one of the best, if not the best revenge killers in the game in NDAG. Slowking Galar sucks in NDAG, and it has base 30 speed, and you put freaking Choice Scarf on it. It would fold to like any Pokemon in the format. Substitute is good on Zacian too.

---

Your team lacks a defogger, which could be problematic.

---

The team is Hyper Offensive, and they sometimes do forgo a Fog user. So this might not be a *big* problem, but yeah Hazards are an irritant for any team.

---

Okay so I woke up an hour ago so I didn't see most of this so:
@ parasorolaphus man wtf?
@ PrimoridiaiSea like Assault said I was going for more of a Hyper Offense approach here, so my team doesn't really mind the hazards. If I can make it to 1898 elo without Defog then it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Thanks or advice tho.

---

If you don't mind hazards, why Sash Calyrex?

---

^^^^^^
If you're making a Hyper Offensive team, why do you have SpD DarkCeus, Defensive PDon and Ditto? They look extremely awkward choices in a HO and you don't have a suitable suicide lead.

---

I still needed a reliable hazard and something to make sure things wouldn't destroy me like Zacian or Calyrex-Shadow. The team isn't fully HO but that was what I was going for mostly.
