Torkoal is a stealth rock and spin control supporter with Drought to provide sun for the team.

Walking Wake is a Choice Specs attacker to make use of the sun. It has a mix of STAB fire (terastallized), dragon, and water type moves for coverage.

Great Tusk is a fast physical attacker. It has Knock Off and Rapid Spin as utility.

Roaring Moon is a banded physical attacker with STAB Ground (terastallized) and Dark moves for coverage. U-turn gives it momentum.

Hatterene is a defensive pivot and bulky Calm Mind sweeper. Its Magic Bounce ability protects it from most status moves.

Scream Tail is a support Pokemon with Wish, Encore, and Protect. It can offensively pressure foes with STAB Dazzling Gleam and boost its longevity with Wish.

Overall this is an offensive sun team centered around Walking Wake. Torkoal provides sun to boost its firepower while Great Tusk and Roaring Moon hit hard on the physical side. Hatterene and Scream Tail provide support, recovery, and pivoting. The mix of offensive and supportive roles gives this team balance and versatility.

Answer 1

Former sun player here this team looks good but here are some improvements (why does ur mon description look like it was written by ChatGPT).

Tork: moves are fine just use tera grass and shift its defensive ev's to sp atk ev's

Ww: draco pulse is a bad move on this replace with tera fairy tera blast.

Great Tusk: just make its tera ground and its fine

Roaring Moon: tera dark is better than tera ground. also ur ev's should be 32 hp, 220 attack, and 252 speed

Hatterene: all it needs is its defense ev's to be moved over to it spatk

Scream Tail: why r u using this its useless in sun. better mons are either cinderace or ceruledge

Anyways hop i could help!
