I chose Landorus-T for his Ground Type, and as a reliable user of Stealth Rock and Knock Off. Noivern was selected over Dragonite for his better speed and not needing to set up. Corviknight was chosen for his good Def., and for the Ice and Rock match-up. I chose Charizard because I read on Smogon that he is a good teammate for Noivern, covering types Noivern can't. Zapdos was chosen for his Fighting Type, and to give me a Psyical Sweeper. He was originally carrying a Choice Band, but I opted for Life Orb after I realized I already had 2 other choice locked Pokémon. Lastly, Mantine was chosen for his tankiness, utility, and for a Defogger.
So what do you guys think? Any suggestions?
(Also does anyone have a suggestion for my team name, or is Top Gun good?)

It's easiest for you and us if you export the team from Showdown and paste it here, instead of typing it manually. Click "Import/Export" in the teambuilder.
Ok thanks
Edited to make the team Showdown importable. Also, Redvolt77, could you add descriptions explaining the teambuilding process and why you chose the Pokemon on your team? That way, it would be easier for readers to get a better idea of how your team functions and can provide feedback to help the team.
This team is doing quite well!
Any matchups you're struggling with?
Yes. I was struggling to beat belly drum Azumarill on Fairy and Water type teams. I also don't have a super effective attack against ground and water teams, and Corviknight is my only way of taking down fairy teams. Should I run crobat?
The 96 Special Defense EVs on Mantine should be Speed EVs, which lets Mantine outspeed Azumarill so it can use Haze before Azumarill attacks Mantine after it uses Belly Drum.
Thanks! Should I switch Noivern for Dragonite to give my team a Phsyical presence?
If I did use Dragonite here would be the set:

Dragonite Heavy-Duty Boots
Multiscale

-Roost
-Dragon Claw/Dragon Rush
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/126 Def/126 Spe/4 SpD
Is anyone going to rate this or what
This part of the site is rather inactive.
Should I switch out Noivern for Dragonite?
You could take your team to the Monotype chatroom on pokemon Showdown and ask the people there for advice.
Hmm.. i suggest you should Zapdos-Galar item's is Choice Band
That's all for now
