Dragapult @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Dragon Dance
- U-turn
- Phantom Force

The lead attacker. Dragon Dance makes the guy deadly, and almost nothing moves before him with his amazing speed. Dragon Darts is quite powerful, being a 2-hitting move that can get past Focus Sashes. Phantom Force is for brute force that can be used for finishing opponents quick. Also, opponents cannot run from it, because it bypasses protection! Be aware of Normal types, though. When all else fails, use U-Turn and get out of here.

Glimmora @ Focus Sash
Ability: Toxic Debris
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic Spikes
- Mortal Spin

Everyone's favorite hazard setter. If you see a pokemon that you know learns Rapid Spin / Defog, switch to Gholdengo, For Gholdengo is...

Gholdengo @ Expert Belt
Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Make It Rain
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Dazzling Gleam

... An offensive Spin Blocker. Defog fails, and Rapid Spin / Mortal Spin don't affect him. But, he has very good offensive capabilities, usually on slower opponents. Make It Rain is a very powerful STAB move, at the cost of your Sp. Atk. However, after a Nasty Plot, you can use 2 boosted MiR's. Shadow Ball is also STAB, and Tera Fairy + Dazzling Gleam makes for giving Dark types a rather nasty surprise.

Garganacl @ Leftovers
Ability: Purifying Salt
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Salt Cure
- Iron Defense
- Recover
- Body Press

Garganacl has some of the best bulk around. Physical attackers can barely harm him. Salt Cure gives passive damage, and you can Recover while the opponent wears away. Iron Defense is this guy's Sword's Dance, because it powers up Body Press. Tera Fighting turns boosted BP into a nuke.

Deoxys-Speed @ Red Card
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic Noise
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave
- Knock Off

Speed control has arrived. This guy is super annoying. He can stop you from healing (cough cough Gliscor coughcough) with Psychic Noise, he can Taunt pokemon relying on setup or hazards, he removes items with Knock Off, and can give your team some Speed Control with Thunder Wave. Red Card forces out those who actually want to hit him. Tera Dark is for defensive purposes. Honestly... sometimes I lead with Deo instead of Glimmora.

Iron Crown @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tachyon Cutter
- Agility
- Psychic
- Volt Switch

I've had problems with Magic Guard Clefable, so I replaced Alomomola, who wasn't very useful anyway. Tachyon Cutter is basically D-Darts with infinite accuracy. Agility speeds Iron Crown up, and turns him into a reliable sweeper after Quark Drive boosts his Sp. Atk. Psychic is STAB, and Volt Switch is for getting out of the way of steel types.

Uhh I think the team is great! You've made coverage for every possible counters, one thing that bothers me is that glimmora maybe try making deoxys-speed as your hazard setter? Glimmora would might as well be checked by Grimmsnarl cuz of Prankster+ Taunt, I'd replace Glimmora with the deoxys. Instead of psychic noise try going with stealth Rock, then do the speed control job. A new Mon I'd recommend in replacement of glimmora is Hatterene. Good early game pokemon, I'd run this set:

Hatterene @ Assault Vest
Ability: Magic Bounce
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 80 SpA / 120 SpD / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Draining Kiss
- Mystical Fire
- Psychic Noise
Magic Bounce for the Hazard or Status your foes inflict in case Gholdengo is down, Assault Vest makes it Specially bulky, Psyshock for Special defense mons, Draining kiss for extra healing, Mystical Fire for the Special attack drop as well as a check to steal types, psychic noise for disabled stall. Tera water is a nice defensive typing.

Hatterene with speed EVs?
@Tyo The speed EVs on Hatterene lets it outspeed slower Pokemon such as Toxapex and Garganacl (as well as Pokemon running speed to outspeed the two Pokemon I mentioned). The speed to outspeed them is useful since Hatterene can be able to use Psychic Noise to prevent Toxapex and Garganacl from using Recover. A Pokemon having a low base speed doesn't always mean don't run speed EVs on it, as there may be situations where they need the Speed EVs.
Hm. Makes sense.
Also @Antoneth<33 thank you
