Please help me with my vgc reg j calyrex team

Question

So, I've been playing around with teams in reg j, and I found four pokemon that seem really strong. So naturally I want to make a team with them in. So here it is

Tyrannosaurus (Calyrex-Shadow) @ Focus Sash
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
Normal Tera
EVs: 252 SpAtt, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Timid Nature
-Astral Barrage
-Psychic
-Draining Kiss
-Protect
Main attacker. Spam astral barrage until it drops. Psychic is other stab. Draining Kiss to heal calyrex since it's relatively frail. Focus Sash to give it some defence since calyrex is relatively frail (have I already said that?). Tera type is for defensive purposes. EVs and Nature give max speed and a massive special attack. Basically, this thing is broken.

Terry (Terapagos) @ Leftovers
Ability: Tera Shift -> Tera Shell -> Teraform Zero
Steller Tera
EVs: 252 SpAtt, 248 HP, 8 Spe
Modest Nature
-Tera Starstorm
-Calm Mind
-Protect
-Rock Polish
Basic calm mind set. Don't think I have to explain the moves since you've probably seen this set before, and nature gives max special attack. The other pokemon in the team don't really get tera'd unless I'm not using terapagos. (Will that ever happen?)

Splashy (Chi-Yu) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Beads of Ruin
Ghost Tera
EVs: 252 SpAtt, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Modest Nature
-Heat Wave
-Dark Pulse
-Snarl
-Psychic
Anotger special attacker, but specs chi yu is just insane. What were game freak doing when they made the treasures of ruins abilities. EVs give maximum special attack. Specs do what they say on the tin. Tera is defensive purposes. Heat Wave is fire stab and powerful spread with burn chance. Dark Pulse is dark stab with flinch chance. Snarl is relatively weak but gives a special attack drop on opposing pokemon. Psychic is coverage with special defence drop chance.

Pon-pon (Ogerpon-Hearthflame) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Fire Tera
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Jolly Nature
-Ivy Cudgel
-Horn Leech
-Play Rough
-Follow Me
Redirection is here! Follow Me is redirection. Horn Leech heals. Play Rough does damage and is great coverage. Ivy Cudgel is Ivy Cudgel. EVs and Nature give large speed and attack.

Now I'm a bit stuck with the last two pokemon so please help with them! I have 7 options all of whom I want to include, but I can't decide which.

Monke (Rillaboom) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Fire Tera
EVs: 252 Att, 252 HP, 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Grassy Glide
-Wood Hammer
-High Horsepower
-U-turn
Kinda average rillaboom set. Grassy surge because who uses overgrow? Grassy glide is priority. Wood hammer for damage. High Horsepower because it good. U turn for pivot. EVs for bulk and damage. Fire tera is for defensive purposes.

Competative (Flutter Mane) @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Stellar Tera
EVs: 252 SpAtt, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Timid Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Dazzling Gleam
-Thunderbolt
-Power Gem
Max speed Booster Flutter Mane. Stellar boosts all moves. Shadow Ball stab. Dazzling Gleam stab spread. Thunderbolt and power gem coverage.

AlsoIncine (Incineroar) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Intimidate
Bug Tera
EVs: 252 HP, 128 Def, 128 SpDef
Jolly Nature
-Fake Out
-Parting Shot
-Knock Off
-Temper Flare
Average Incineroar. Intimidate, Fake out and Parting shot are broken. Knock Off is knock off. Temper Flare is Flare blitz with half power and no recoil. EVs, Bug tera and item are for defencive purposes.

Boof (Brute Bonnet) @ Red Card
Ability: Protosynthesis
Water Tera
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Att, 4 Spe
Nature
-Spore
-Rage Powder
-Seed Bomb
-Sucker Punch
Basic spore bonnet. Rage powder is follow Me. Spore to sleep. Sucker Punch will destroy all. Seed Bomb because I couldn't find any other decent moves.

Superman (Palafin-Hero) @ Clear Amulet
Shiny: Yes
Ability: Zero to Hero
Stellar Tera
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Adamant Nature
-Jet Punch
-Close Combat
-Ice Punch
-Bulk Up
Jet Punch is priority. Close Combat is insane power. Ice Punch coverage. Bulk Up to boost already good attack and defense. EVs to give as much damage as possible. Stellar gives boost to everything.

Fu (Urshifu-Rapid-Strike) @ Choice Band
Ability: Unseen Fist
Water Tera
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Jolly Nature
-Surging Strikes
-Iron Head
-Close Combat
-U-turn
Damage!!!!! Band ursh does too much for me to cope. Surging Strikes is stab multistrike with permanent crit. Iron Head for flinch and fairy coverage. Close Combat is insane with stab band. U turn is pivot. EVs for even more damage.

Gold (Slither Wing) @ Choice Band
Shiny: Yes
Ability: Protosynthesis
Steel Tera
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Adamant Nature
-Close Combat
-Leech Life
-Dual Wingbeat
-High Horsepower
Slight wild card. I chose slither wing because it has such a high attack stat (and it shares the joint best shiny title with trapinch in my opinion). Band slither wing does even more damage than band ursh. Close Combat is Close Combat. Leech Life heals. Dual wingbeat is coverage. High Horsepower because I just generally like the move. Better than Earthquake anyway.

I'm open to suggestions about this team, especially with the last 2.

Again, please respond!

Maybe try Rilaboom instead of Incineroar? It can boost Orgerpon, provide healing for your team, and doesn't overlap with your team as much as Incineroar.

---

Ok but incineroar isn't a full member of the team yet

---

I knew that, I was just recommending it

---

Ok but thanks anyway

---

I'm gonna ask another question with the updated team so don't answer this one anymore

Answer 1

The first 4 mons are really strong, but I can't really tell what archetype you're going for. Chi-Yu + Flutter works for HO (hyper offence) and Calyrex could work for it (I think), but Ogerpon and Terapagos are generally less HO based. Btw I don't normally play retricted so what I say may not be correct.
If you're just going for a team with no particular archetype you really want to use, Calyrex's best partner is Clefairy, not any of the other options (Mienshao is okay as well). My set for Clefairy is:
Clefairy @ Eviolite
Ability: Friend Guard
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Follow Me
- Life Dew
- Moonblast
- After You
If Calyrex somehow ends up in TR, Clefairy can use After You with it's low speed stat to make Calyrex move first even under TR. Life Dew for healing, Follow Me for redirection and Moonblast in case you're taunted. The best restricted partner for Calyrex-S is Zamazenta but I don't have a set for it. Also if you want a defensive Tera for Calyrex, Fairy and Dark are better unless you're really struggling with the mirror Calyrex match, in which case why not?
If you remove Ogerpon, then you could use Rillaboom and Rapid Strike Urshifu to finish your Fire-Water-Grass Core which is normally used in balance. And then you could pair Chi-Yu with Flutter Mane for HO.
For Booster Energy Flutter Mane, my set is:
Flutter Mane @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Shadow Ball
- Protect
- Mystical Fire
I noticed yours lacks Protect which is very important to have on your team at least around 3 times. Mine is very fast offence based so if you want to make it bulkier you can. Min Atk is important for special attackers so they don't take more damage from Foul Play and Confusion than needed.
Urshifu-R likes being fast and strong so I like to max out Atk and Spe but you can add some bulk if you want. A Choice Scarf is its prefered item if you don't have TW, otherwise something like Mystic Water works. Your current set is ok but it rarely ever runs Iron Head because it has partners a lot of the time that can help with those matchups so its not neccesary. Aqua Jet is a more prefered option for that slot because it provides priority.
Your Incineroar set is far from standard though. I know I didn't recommend it but that set is not great. Wolfe Glick's set:
Incineroar @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Ghost/Bug
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 16 SpA / 29 Spe
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Parting Shot
Everything here is just a given and Temper Flare isn't worth it compared to the damage Flare Blitz does. 128 in both defences is pitiful and it doesn't always want speed. Faster Fake Out is good but slower Parting Shot is also really good. You could run min speed so you don't need to play guessing games of who's faster.
Also another pokemon I didn't recommend but think I should mention, Brute Bonnet. Red Card is terrible, Sitrus is better. And it wants to be more defensive, otherwise it'll just drop to a stray Struggle Bug. Everything else about it is fine though. (Btw Palafin is not good in this meta, not worth it over Urshifu)
Ogerpon also never run Play Rough, it needs Spiky Shield instead. And Rock Polish on Terapagos is unneccesary. I can't help but notice your have no Speed Control as well so maybe Whimsicott would work better. Rock Polish is a wasted slot because Whimsicott provides a lot more for your team than a single Rock Polish would. One of my main Whimsicott sets:
Whimsicott @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tailwind
- Moonblast
- Taunt
- Encore
You could also run max speed to taunt other Whimsicott and Tornadus before they can you if you really want grass coverage options you could run Giga Drain or Energy Ball instead of Moonblast. Other tera types could be Fire, Steel or Ghost for Sash sets.
So to conclude (sorry this is so long) Pokemon for a Calyrex-S team I would consider (in order of most to least valuable for your team) are:
Zamazenta
Clefairy
Whimsicott
Rillaboom
Urshifu-R
Incineroar
Chi-Yu
Flutter Mane
Ogerpon-H
Amoongus
Mienshao
Brute Bonnet

My Version of the team (off the top of my head) would be:
Calyrex-S, Zamazenta, Clefairy, Whimsicott, Incineroar, Urshifu-R

Just saying, no matter what anyone says, im not changing chi yu

---

I may change terapagos and ogerpon though

---

Also maybe try to have a balance of special and physical attackers so its not too specially/physically based because you may just auto lose to a pokemon thats too bulky on that side

Answer 2

Something I want to mention right off the bat is that I love the names of your pokemon (i think it's bad that people don't name their pokemon nowadays)

But besides that IMPORTANT NOTE: what I am saying is all theoretical. I have not tested your team to check if these work

The biggest weakness I spotted in your team was that (other than pon pon), Your whole team gets walled by wide guard zamazenta, which is why I would recommend Flutter mane as a must-use pick. This is the set i recommend:
Competative (Flutter Mane) @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Moonblast
- Thunderbolt/Mystical fire
- Taunt
You can switch the tera type to
Normal (insurance other calyrex teams but you have terrapagos so not needed)
Or Fire (To resist heavy slam, ice shard chien pau, grassy glide ogerpon and rillaboom and to get a sweet damage boost on mystical fire if you run it)

The simple theory is that there are no spread moves so you can live comfortably against wide guard mons (like lunala, peliper, and zamazenta and weird picks like bastiodon) while being able to hit them for strong damage.
Shadow ball and moonblast are the best damage options while T-bolt and Mystical fire provide coverage (for peliper and zamazenta respectively) and taunt allows you to give a middle finger to amoongus and wide guard.
Also, since the flutter mane is built fast, it's best using mystical fire to possible nerf other sp attackers like terrapagos and tera calyrex/raging bolt.
Note: No matter what tera you choose, Flutter mane will still die to a heavy slam from zamazenta so be careful

If you really don't want to use flutter mane, then a taunt mon with screech or fake tears (to lower the power of zamazenta body presses or to tear down pokemon like wet paper using calyrex and terrapagos) could also be decent (like rillaboom, annihialape and corvnight for screech and taunt. And Meowskarada, maushold, grimsnarl and corvnight)
That is all I really want to say. If this helps you then I'll be more than happy to help you with your sixth mon.
