Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
A surprise Shuca sounds nice on paper but I don't think it is the move. Shuca can surprise a GT yes but what does Glowking do after living the hit? Boots are really important for a grounded pivot with rocks neutrality. Against a hazard stack team Glowking will lose 37.5% of it's health on switch...

When I tried it on ladder I...
Thanks, I just changed the HO mons for Gliscor and Gambit to go full balance and have a much better team now. It is way less quirky but way better. Your earlier assessment of major flaws is 100% correct as I would lose or win on team preview. The new and improved balence team...
Here is a team I built inspired by some of your vids. I think it is passable but needs some improvement. https://pokepast.es/d0d697c9a5958f9d RMT Thread: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/crit-me-not-iron-crown-offense.3762811/
I had the idea for the team while seeing a team by Blim using a max speed:Iron Crown:with the same moves as mine. It was really good at sweeping teams and so I decided to build a team around it.
:sv/iron crown:
The first mon that I added was a booster speed Iron Crown. Later on I realized that...
Iron Moth and gliscor form a defensive backbone (Calced). Great Tusk the standard antihazard spin set. Roaring moon can be used to kill all of the mons that beat azumarill, and acts as another sweeper. The stall matchup is pretty bad and heavily relys on gliscor.
Magnazone is eved to trap every single steel type and kill but iron treads will wreck it. Azumarill is the sweeper and will beat most top tier threats that it needs to besides sash mons, especisally pult and darkrai.
What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics
What is the bug?
Acupressure can raise evasiveness in OU. This breaks evasiveness clause
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Use the move in a OU game. A small part of the time it happens
