Pokémon Rate My Team

For this team, I've decided to use Pokemon I've never thought about using before, to try and maybe forge a 'bond' with them. This was originally an in-game team, but because a friend of mine challenged me to a double battle, I've been forced to turn it into an actually competitive team.

-Sceptile-
Nickname: Fry
Tera: Fighting
Ability: Overgrow
Role: Support/Special attacker
Item: Big root
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Timid

-Shed tail
-Energy ball
-Tera blast
-Giga drain

Sceptile is here to deal okay damage with his grass type moves, can terrastilize into the fighting type, and let others switch in safely with Shed tail

-Klawf-
Nickname: Crusty
Tera: Water
Ability: Anger shell (Of course)
Role: Sweeper
Item: Sitrus berry
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 Special defense, 4 HP
Nature: Adamant

-High horsepower
-Crabhammer
-Curse
-Rock slide

Klawf is here to defeat a ton of Pokemon, after all her stat boosts from Anger shell and Curse, she will start whipping up terrifying Crabhammers and Rock slides.

-Mismagius-
Nickname: Mr. Magius
Tera: Ghost
Ability: Levitate
Role: Status
Item: Scope lens
EVs: 252 Special defense, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Calm

-Protect
-Will 'O Wisp
-Taunt
-Hex
Mismagius is absolutely vital to the team, barring my opponent from physical attacks with Will 'O Wisp, stopping them from setting up with Taunt and hitting hard with Hex.

-Pyroar-
Nickname: 'Arcanine?'
Tera: Fire
Ability: Unnerve
Role: Anti-setup
Item: Air balloon (???)
EVs: 252 Special attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Modest

-Snarl
-Protect
-Roar
-Flamethrower

Pyroar's role had to be changed, he was originally a sun-setter, but that doesn't work well with my Klawf strategy. Now, Pyroar is just kind of there. I'd love some suggestions to help make Pyroar more viable.

-Bruxish-
Nickname: Djinn
Tera: Water
Ability: Strong Jaw
Role: Strong physical attacker
Item: Assault vest
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Defense, 4 HP
Nature: Adamant

-Psychic fangs
-Crunch
-Liquidation
-Ice fang

I've really come to like this Pokemon, it does incredible damage with its Strong Jaw boosted biting moves. To compensate for its mediocre defense, I trained its defense and put on an assault vest to help with Special defense.

-Frosmoth-
Nickname: Custard
Tera: Bug
Ability: Ice scales
Role: Sacrificed to set stuff up
Item: Focus sash
Evs: 252 Special attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Timid

-Tailwind
-Light screen
-Reflect
-Blizzard

Frosmoth is my lead together with Mismagius, he's here to lay down his life in order to make sure I can do what I want in the first few turns without issue. It just isn't useful against my opponent sadly, so I'll have to use it like this

I know some of these Pokemon are a bit bad, but my team is locked in, I'll have to work with what I have. I've come to love these idiots, if you do too, be sure to leave some advice

What battle format is this for? There are dozens of doubles formats.
Unfortunately, repurposed in game teams aren't viable as competitive teams. We have rules (see #2.2) against them to keep things focused on winning games. If your intention is to win, then the best thing we can suggest is make a new team after learning the metagame.
I know you people won't like hearing this, but there really is no format. I'm battling people I know, it's just a 6v6, anything goes. I know these Pokemon are bad, I'm well aware. In no capacity are these guys viable, I've been reminded many a time. But I'm really devoted to making them work. If this is no place for this question, feel free to tell me, as I'm new to the platform. If so, where would be a better place?
I haven't seen many sites that cater to the casual audience like this. PokemonDB's RMT isn't one of them. The most likely option is: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonteams/

The issue is if you don't have a format and don't really care about having a good competitive team, then any advice you get will be airy fairy vibes based stuff. People with real knowledge of the game aren't interested to talk about random casual teams.
