Ok so I just got champions here is my duel mega team:
(keep in mind that in champions, EVs have been replaced by the slightly different “stat points” that I will refer to as SPs)

THE LEAD

The Dolph (Palafin) @choice scarf
Ability: zero to hero
Nature: adamant
SPs: 32 HP 32 atk 2 spe
-wave crash
-flip turn
-close combat
-jet punch
Ok so this is an amazing pivot lead and sweeper. Turn 1 you flip turn out of there and save it for late-game sweeps with wave crash for damage, CC for coverage and jet punch for priority.

THE MEGAS

Sir Shiny (Scizor) @scizornite
Ability: technician
Nature: adamant
SPs: 32 atk 17 def 17 spd
-bug bite
-close combat
-bullet punch
-swords dance
My first ever shiny Pokémon can finnaly mega :). Use this as your mega if the opponents team is hyper offensive and more frail than any other team. Ok so after swapping in, you mega, and use swords dance as many times as possible until you STAB technician max attack bullet punch sweep. If bullet punch isnt an option you have CC for coverage and to catch people off-guard and bug Bite for more STAB technician power. Overall an amazing sweeper

Aggrosaur (Aggron) @aggronite
Ability: sturdy -> filter
Nature: careful
SPs: 18 HP 16 atk 12 def 20 spd
-iron defence
-heavy slam
-earthquake
-body press
Ok so mega Aggron is the mega you use for physically defensive teams that m-scizor cant beat. This this is a TANK. With 230 defence and some huge attack aswell, iron defense makes this thing basically immune to physical attacks and then body press uses your defence instead of your attack for damage, and heavy slam is STAB damage that uses Aggrons massive weight to attack. Equake is coverage

THE REVENGE KILLER

BOO! (Gengar) @focus sash
Ability: cursed body
Nature: timid
SPs: 32 spe 32 spa 2 HP
-shadow ball
-sludge wave
-thunderbolt
-giga drain
Nice revenge killer here, focus sash to live if you don’t go first or dont OHKO, shadow ball and sludge wave are great STAB and Tbolt and Gdrain are coverage. Cursed body seems to come in clutch a lot in battles when gengar gos down.

THE PIVOT

MihcroWavvey (Rotom-H) @sitrus berry
Ability: levitate
Nature: timid
SPs: 32 HP 2 spa 32 spe
-overheat
-will-o-wisp
-pain split
-volt switch
Overall a reliable pivot with moves like volt switch. Overheat is STAB and will-o-wisp is for the crucial burns on phisical attackers. Pain split is because rotom lacks reliable recovery and volt switch is for pivoting- the main reason for rotom existing is to burn and pivot

THE TANKY SCOUT

Eggnagnog (Dragonite) @leftovers
Ability: multiscale
Nature: adamant
SPs: 32 HP 27 atk 7 spe
-fly
-extreme speed
-dragon claw
-protect
Don’t judge the name it’s an inside joke. This is a scout for dangerous Pokémon that you can’t really guess their moveset. Swap into dragonite and use protect and fly to see waht moves they pick. Espeed is priority and dragon claw is in case things get nasty. Leftys go well with max HP to full-heal and get multiscale back up

Ok so that is my team! Hope you guys liked it, sorry it had no frogs lol

I did the tag edit.

I'd say Sitrus over Lum on Rotom-H. Helps heal damage taken on the switch in, especially if Rocks are up.
Ok I’ll put sitrus on rotom

Best answer

Palafin

Jet Punch and Choice Scarf go together as well as flames and an open fuse. A priority move finds minimal use when using an item that increases Speed and locks your move choice. Replace it with Mystic Water, as 3/4 of your moveset benefits from it. 32 in HP alone doesn't tank anything in particular, so it's more beneficial to just put that all into Speed.

Mega Scizor

Knock Off > Bug Bite finds more practicality with item removal and helps Scizor against matchups like Aegislash and Basculegion. 32 into HP gives more bulk for Scizor than 17 in Defense and Sp. Defense, with the rest into Speed or another defensive stat.

Mega Aggron —> Corviknight

Mega Aggron isn't useful, as despite all its bulk, it has to rely exclusively on Rest (which your set doesn't have) to recover any HP. Corviknight does what it can with proper recovery and the ability to pivot out of a poor situation with U-Turn. This also saves the Mega slot for our next Pokémon.


Corviknight @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 32 Def / 2 SpD
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- U-turn
- Iron Defense
- Roost

Gengar —> Mega Gengar

Mega evolving Gengar allows it to trap opponents with Shadow Tag to force them to stay in, have Speed that doesn't have it rely on Focus Sash, and serve as a better Revenge Killer overall. Focus Blast outweighs Thunderbolt and Giga Drain, as it helps against bulky Dark and Steel-types that those moves can't. Thunderbolt doesn't help with any poor matchups, and Giga Drain's recovery isn't necessary for Gengar, so both moves are redundant. Destiny Bond is to ensure that, if necessary, Mega Gengar takes its opponent down with it.


Gengar-Mega @ Gengarite
Ability: Shadow Tag
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 SpA / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Destiny Bond

Rotom Heat

Rotom needs the Sp. Atk investment, so choose between if you want to invest in HP or Speed. If HP, change the nature to Modest or something to boost defense. If Speed, Thunderbolt > Pain Split so you don't have to force Rotom Heat out of the battle to use an Electric-type move. You might want to consider using Rotom Wash instead to avoid taking more Stealth Rock damage, though it has type overlap with Palafin.

Dragonite —> Garchomp

Dragonite's set is the weakest element on your current team. Fly and Protect do very little besides give your opponent a free turn to switch out, setup, or do whatever they please. Outrage is always preferred over Dragon Claw as, despite being locked into it, the damage decrease is severely noticeable. Dragonite's generally intended to use its bulk to use Dragon Dance and sweep with Espeed and Earthquake. Garchomp is a meta staple in setting Stealth Rock and having the potential to sweep with Swords Dance, while complementing the current team far better.


Garchomp @ Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 Atk / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Swords Dance
