This is the furthest I've ever hit using my own team, I've hit 1800 earlier this generation but that was with a team I pulled from the forums.

Gloking was the first pokemon I put on this team. I knew I wanted it and I have been waiting ages for it to be added to SV. Here I'm running a really normal set, lefties, and max HP SpD. It's a great switch in and pivot against many different threats in the current meta. It can easily swap in against any special valiant sets, gholdengo, enamorous, zapdos. Basically any special attacker is light work for it.
After adding Gloking I knew I wanted a fast pivot and who better than lando-t. On this team I thought scarf lando-t was a good move, I gave it its usual coverage and grass knot for tusk and tera-water garg. It outspeeds most threats with it's scarf and it can hit way harder than most people expect since bulky sets seem to be commonplace for lando-t. Tera water for ice and water resist. It threatens tusk w/o ice spinner, kinggambit, gholdengo, and zapdos with stone edge. It's also my go to lead if I'm not sure what the opponent will lead with.
There's not much to say about tusk. It's a crazy mon and it acts as a physical wall for the team. I always prefer bulk-up sets since they can easily lead you to a win if the opponent is ill-prepared.
Bax if my GOAT. I've been using him since right after the first chien-pao ban and he's been crazy ever since. I used to run the CB set but recently I've been messing with SD and it's crazy. EQ for coverage and ice shard for speed control. Bax can break most walls and really the best thing to counter it is kind of just dondozo. With SD you can break through almost all teams so always been looking for a setup opportunity. Pivoting into Bax with either Gloking or Lando is always a good idea.
Enamorous is my 2nd scarfer and the main special attacker of the team. It's fast and it hits hard enough. It's coverage is great and the fairy typing is a great addition to the team. Modest for super hard hitting moonblasts since with scarf you already outspeed everything. Great switch in to tusk, dragapult, specs valiant, samu-hisui. Basically anything that moonblast can obliterate.
Last but not least, is my 3rd scarfer Samurott-H. Ceaseless edge is just a crazy move when it hits and there's no reason not to click it in most scenarios. Scarf is great and allows you to outspeed most of it's threats and you're able to then hit hard and sometimes even grab KO's. I honestly find myself grabbing more KO's with this mon then with the rest of my team in some matchups. With priority in aqua jet you're able to revenge some faster mons as well. Sash might work well if you want to run this as a dedicated lead but I prefer using it just as an offensive wallbreaker tbh.
This is my first in depth RMT and I'd love any advice that you guys could give. Thank you!

. I notice that your team is really weak to safe pivots like 
. It walls your core of scarfers (
, 
and 
). You can predict this by u-turning or switching to an Amoonguss counter (wait there is none). Here are some changes I can recommend.
. Amoonguss is a more consistent check to Great-Tusk and Spore support is always good as it forces mind games with the opponent or a spore sac. I just used the standard 
is already good enough.
on 
. This makes 
cry and also is always good for more chip through a match.
