Pokémon Rate My Team

Ice is my favorite Pokemon type, but its frailness really messes up my strategies, so I paired mine up with fighting-types, can I get some tips or suggestions to outright replace a few? Also the items aren’t fully chosen for these guys as some of them aren’t in Champions (I’m building my team in Pokemon Sword)

Alolan Sandlash (Slush Rush) - Focus Sash
- Rock Slide
- Stealth Rock
- Icicle Spear
- Iron Head

Arctozolt (Static) - Rocky Helmet
- Icicle Crash
- Bolt Beak
- Pluck
- Bulldoze

Alolan Ninetales (Snow Cloak) - Quick Claw
- Hail
- Blizzard
- Dazzling Gleam
- Ice Beam

Sirfetch’d (Steadfast) - Leek
- Leaf Blade
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance

Scrafty (Shed Skin) - Muscle Band
- Low Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Crunch
- High Jump Kick

Gallade (Steadfast) - Expert Belt
- Reflect
- Double Team (I’ll replace it with Wide Guard once I get the chance)
- Brick Break
- Zen Headbutt

Are there any changes I could make? What’s the best pairing here? Is it a bad thing that there’s a few repeated moves in the team?
(Also no, I’m not adding Weavile, last time I had it in my team everything outsped and one-shot it)
Thanks for reading and for ur advice in advance

As per https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rules are you able to:
- Specify moves, abilities, items, EVs, and natures for each Pokémon
- For each Pokémon, give the reason why you chose the Pokémon

E: Actually I'm just going to close it, sorry. This isn't a viable competitive team unfortunately, none of these sets resemble anything that's likely to work in the current ruleset (Reg M-B), some aren't in the game at all. The best thing would be to try teambuilding again after you've learned the basics of the competitive game (most people recommend beginners to just use a pre-made team). This one can't be fixed without replacing it completely.

You can find examples of good teams here https://cut-explorer.stalruth.dev/ and guides to get started here https://www.vgcguide.com/ , plus heaps of content on YouTube to absorb.
So uhh, I just noticed Arctozolt isn’t even in Champions ._.
That sucks
