I just made my own team for the first time. Winning a couple here and there with 1500+ elo. Trying to hit higher though. (Updated post magearna ban and Chienpao ban)
Here is the rundown:
Blackie Chan (Urshifu-Rapid-Strike) @ Punching Glove
Ability: Unseen Fist
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Trailblaze
- Surging Strikes
- Drain Punch
Classic Urshifu swords dance build to get the job done. Sets up really nice on tusk, heatran, and other things that are not pult, pex, and azu.

Buzz Lightyear (Volcarona) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain
- Bug Buzz
Volcarona is starting to become really good all of a sudden. Quiver dance wins really fast and you can run tera ground terablast for heatran or play around it. Sets up on everything except pex and clod atm. Tera grass beats urshifu, rotom wash, and azu.

Andrew Tate (Gholdengo) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Make It Rain
- Tera Blast
- Trick
Classic scarf gholdengo to beat pult, trick pex and other threats. tera blast fight helps kill heatran but does not ohko if SpD. AV slowking galar and reg slowking take a lot from shadow ball too.

Bruce Lee (Zapdos) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hurricane
- Thunder Wave
- Roost
Defensive zap to para any threats. volt switch to pivot and hurricane to scare tusk away.

Patrick Galar (Slowking-Galar) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 168 SpD / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Future Sight
- Flamethrower
- surf
AV glowking really puts in the work to slowly chip enemies and helps pivot from enamorous and still loses to heatran tho. Valiant gets scared away also.

Manny (Great Tusk) @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off

Defensive tusk to tank any physical threats and sets up rocks. Spins hazards and knocks off items.

Pretty great team so far but I would suggest a couple of things that might help you in the long run. Take it or leave it.

~

:Slowking-Galar:-->:slowking:
Simply put the typing works better for your team and you get a really strong way to counter heatran, enamorous, and almost any other special attacker.

(Slowking) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 196 HP / 252 SpA / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Psychic/ future sight
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower

Secondly, I would get this out of the way...

:magearna:-->:Enamorus:/:heatran:
You said it yourself, magearna sweeps everything. And with the upcoming suspect test, I suspect that magearna is going to get the ban for the same reason espathra did, it's just too disgusting. This suggestion is essentially ripping the bandaid off early. Feel free to abuse magearna while you can, but I'll leave some pokes here for you when you want/ end up needing them. (Not to mention that enamorous helps with your fire and ground weakness while heatran helps with the former (and latter after tera)).

Enamorus @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Superpower
- Moonblast
- Mystical Fire
- Earth Power

I am not 100% on this tera type myself but this is a set to get you started. Enamorous acts as a special monster to cover the special loss with magearna gone, gets you off the ground, and has a defensive side too with a chance to KO the likes of gambit and pao.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume/ magma storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt/ stealth rocks
- Will-O-Wisp

Heatran on the other hand lends more to the defensive side of your team complimenting slowking similarly to how zapdos compliments tusk. I prefer lava plume for consistent damage because I have seen magma storm miss way too many times. Not to mention I've missed 7+ times in a row before and haven't used the stupid move since... Taunt is nice for set up sweepers since you're so bulky but rocks free up tusk to run close combat so it's up to you what you feel needs priority.

Everything else is a minor suggestion.

:gholdengo:
Focus miss --> Tera Blast

I assume you're going to use focus blast into mons that you are going to tera against anyway and this way you don't miss and get KO'd yourself. It's simply a safer option and a more consistent one.

:zapdos:
Heatwave --> Thunderwave

More chances to para mean more chances to outspeed and KO. I just think it's a better option overall.

Other than that I think you have a very good team on your hands with mons that I think we will see pop up consistently.
Good luck and get those DUBS! :mad:

YOOO! thanks so much for your suggestions. I was thinking once Magearna gets banned to use either volc, Hisuian liligant, (and replace chien pao whos also getting banned with specs pult), or use enamorous as u put.
Also does slowking eat a moonblast from enamorous or valiant or not?
 
252+ SpA Enamorus Moonblast vs. 248 HP / 0+ SpD Assault Vest Slowking: 99-117 (25.1 - 29.7%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

252 SpA Choice Specs Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 248 HP / 0+ SpD Assault Vest Slowking: 124-147 (31.5 - 37.4%) -- 86.8% chance to 3HKO

You tell me
