Toxic Orb + Fling isn't a good strategy, but I don't know enough about NatDex to tell you what to replace it with. You could consider Rapid Spin over Trop Kick, as you don't need both that and Power Whip. Draining Kiss is also a pretty terrible move on Tsareena.

I don't see what Protect accomplishes on Slowking, try Teleport instead to pivot and keep momentum.

Rocky Helmet isn't a good item on Salazzle, try Focus Sash or Heavy-Duty Boots instead. Sludge Wave is better than Venoshock, and Fire Blast is usually preferred over Flamethrower.

I think Cursola is completely unviable, especially with that set. Focus Sash isn't a good idea, especially not with Ghost Curse. Curse isn't actually good at all on Ghost types, and you don't need Night Shade when you have Shadow Ball. You could try something like Shadow Ball / Earth Power / Strength Sap / Ice Beam, but I think other Ghost types (like Aegislash and Gengar) are completely better than Cursola.

Raichu-Alola doesn't have a good set at all. It's to frail to be setting up its own Terrain, and Discharge is redundant with Thunderbolt. Seismic Toss is especially terrible on it, and you really should be using Psychic STAB, Grass Knot, and Focus Blast (though Raichu-Alola is probably outclassed as a whole without Terrain support).
Thank you Omega-Blade X, I honestly didn’t know what ghost type I should use, I first went with Mimikyu then changed it to Cursola cause Mimikyu wasn’t working, idk why i didnt change it to a stronger ghost type. I put Alolan-Raichu on there because I honestly didn’t know any good electric types with the stats I wanted. Thank you for helping me with Tsareena, I couldn’t think on what moves to put on her since she doesn’t have a lot of moves that I was interested in. And thank you for helping my Salazzle and Slowking become better. :)
What hidden power type? Snorlax is bad in NatDex. Why Protect on Slowking? Why Rocky Helmet?   I think X said everything I would have said other then that...
No problem! I recommend reading the NatDex Viability Rankings if you haven't already -- I'm unable to post a link at the moment, but I'll edit one in at some point.

Tsareena is outclassed by other Grass types, now that I'm looking more closely at it. Kartana and Rillaboom are much better offensively, while Ferrothorn is defensively superior.

Salazzle is similarly outclassed -- Heatran is far better on the defensive side, and Mega Charizard Y is a better Fire special attacker, though it should only really be used in sun teams. I recommend ditching most of your team completely, barring Slowking, and taking a look at the Viability Rankings. If you can't figure out good sets, you can always use the ones Smogon provides.
Okay lol thank you for the recommendations my only question is if I should keep Snorlax on my team
Oh HP Grass, didn't see that, sorry
