Hello, Smogon! First, sorry for my English, I'm from Brazil and I don't have a very high level of English. I come to evaluate my team. It is based on weather control, using M-Charizard Y and Tyranitar.

i like your team! there are a few things i think could be changed to improve it though

celebi > clefable
mega diancie and bd azumarill are pretty major threats to this team, so i think clef needs to be changed for something that handles them a bit better. celebi is a bit rare in ou but it fits very nicely here instead of clefable to check mega diancie, mega lopunny, azumarill, terrakion, and excadrill while maintaining momentum with baton pass or providing speed control with thunder wave and setting stealth rock to allow your tyranitar to run whatever set it wants, no longer mandating a passive support set.

choice band tyranitar > support tyranitar
choice band tyranitar is a classic on mega charizard y teams for a good reason, and it fits here nicely. choice band tyranitar checks and pursuit traps all the regular stuff your support tyranitar would but is also more threatening to mega latias, is capable of pursuit trapping chansey effectively, and is a way of preventing mega slowbro from totally steamrolling you. since you already have a rocks setter with celebi, i would say this is a better option all around.

life orb excadrill > air balloon excadrill
this change is pretty insignificant but it makes you hit harder and im about to recommend something to improve your sand matchup so you dont need balloon exca anyways

rotom-wash > latios
rotom-w and latios are very different mons admittedly, but after adding celebi i dont think your team really needs latios as celebi is handling most of the same threats latios did for the team and you dont need defog support since youre running spin exca. rotom-w provides a solid answer to landorus-t, gyarados, sand rush excadrill, and tornadus-t while also luring in things that bother both keldeo and zardy like latios and chansey for ttar to pursuit trap as rotom volts out.

choice specs keldeo > sub calm mind keldeo
finally, the last change i would make is to change keldeo's set from sub calm mind to choice specs. specs is great for posing much more of an immediate threat to teams after any opposing latios has been removed by tyranitar, and also helps you to take down mega charizard y much more effectively, something tricky to do with this team. sub calm mind isnt really needed here regardless as the matchup against more defensive teams is already great thanks to the combo of mega charizard y + choice band tyranitar.

Hi,

I'm going to have to lock this for the time being. According to the RMT Resource thread, you need three lines of description per pokemon. If you PM me updated descriptions for this RMT, I'll be happy to unlock this thread at that time. Check the RMT Showcase for examples of well made RMTs.

Have a nice day.
