I'm new to the Battle Tree and formats like it but I'll post some stuff here, hopefully with correct formatting. I got to 66 wins today in Super Singles before losing to a couple of really bad misplays due to a few dumb assumptions of me. Please forgive my formatting.
I'm running Dragonite/Tapu Lele/Aegislash. My team has undergone a few revisions but this seems to work reasonably well.
I think I want to change my team up a bit. I've tried Mimikyu instead of Lele but I didn't particularly like it. I'm considering replacing Lele with Blaziken but I'm not sure what sort of set to run, just that I want a strong and fast mon. Can anyone give any advice for possible thirds to complete the Dragonite-Aegislash combo?

Dragonite - Multiscale - Lum Berry
Adamant ATK/SPE EVs
Dragon Dance - Earthquake - Fire Punch - Outrage
The general idea of Dragonite is to get a Dragon Dance up, a second if that's viable, and then just overpower the opposing team with Outrage. I've not run any calculations but Dragonite can survive anything short of Ice-Type STAB moves and if the opponent uses a status-inflicting move then Lum Berry activates. I've come to slowly realise that Fire Punch is not really doing much on this set, as it does less damage than a neutral outrage unless 4xSuperEffective and I've never really found it to be game-changing against the dreaded Ice-Type. I'm not entirely sure what to replace it with, though.

Tapu Lele - Psychic Surge - Twisted Spoon
Modest SPA/SPE EVs
Focus Blast - Psychic - Thunderbolt - Moonblast
This is the least used mon in the set. Psychic Terrain doesn't really benefit me much (in fact, it actively hinders Aegislash) and I'm never quite sure as to when and how to use her. She used to have Choice Specs but I once locked myself into Focus Blast and then realised what a stupid mistake I made. I like how powerful Psychic is with Spoon, Terrain, and STAB. She seems fragile compared to the other two and I'm not sure she provides coverage that is needed on this team.

Aegislash - Stance Change - Leftovers
Adamant HP/ATK EVs
Swords Dance - Iron Head - Shadow Sneak - King's Shield
I've changed this mon a few times. I used to use a breedject I received via Wonder Trade until I decided to breed my own. I originally used a special set and now use this physical one for singles. The battle plan for Aegislash is to go against anything I don't think Dragonite can beat and to get to +6 and sweep in his place. Against physical attackers, Aegislash basically secures me the win every game without fail. The fact that Aegislash basically covers Dragonite perfectly makes this a perfect match.

I start off by predicting the Dragon Claw from Haxorus and swap in my Lele, proceeding to Moonblast it for a KO after taking an Earthquake. Lele gets KO'd by the incoming Mega-Sceptile. Sceptile outspeeds me as I set up a Dragon Dance but it didn't do enough to 2HKO me so I don't get too worried. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that Sceptile outsped me even after a Dance and the subsequent Flinch just sealed Dragonite's defeat, with Aegislash barely being able to avenge Dragonite. Hydreigon shows up and I know that I'm defeated.
I'm pretty sure I should have set up on Haxorus with Dragonite and just eat the first Dragon Claw. If I would have then followed that up with an Outrage, I think I might have been able to sweep the entire enemy team.
