This team is for a Double battle, double restricted friendly match between me and my older cousin, help me defeat him lol, I currently have no idea on his team but i guess maybe he's going for a set up team cuz he said

Can you explain why you chose each member of the team? (rule 2.1)

If i understand this correctly, you and your cousin are playing a hackmons (unrestricted) national dex format of gen 6?
Because there are many moves on some pokemon that they do not get (like follow me whimsicott and many others). Also, you are using white herb on xerneus while i think you wanted to use power herb (white herb removes the first stat nerfs that you get while power herb makes the first 2 turn move only take 1 turn)

If you want to use this very team then there are a few suggestions that I'd like to give. If you suggest your cousin is using a set up team then you could be very cruel and use the move "topsy turvy" with malamar or smeargle to flip the set up on it's head (if your cousin uses swords dance and you use topsy turvy, then the +2 attack will become -2 attack)
Besides that, i would like to improve the movesets of your team (while keeping them legal):
Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb

Note: Kangaskhan lost powerup punch in gen 7
Using the team would be fundamentally same as "The big 6" but it's fine if you don't know about it. To put it simply, You should either try to get groudon in tailwind or try to sweep with geomancy xerneus or baton pass all moody boosts from smeargle to either one of your legendaries.
That is all I really wanted to say
