Idk what to change, maybe dragonite but i need priority, i'm stuck , could you guys tell me what i'm doing wrong here
 
If you’re using indeedee, I wouldnt run priority, since you would block your own prio, but to really judge the team it would be helpful if you provided your thought process and descrptions of the teammembers
 
ye sure :
Indeedee-F @ Eject Button
Ability: Psychic Surge
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Reflect
- Healing Wish
- Light Screen
- Alluring Voice

First, I need indeedee to set psychic terrain up which is my lead most of the time , it can set screens if its faster and it has alluring voice to prevent a bit set up sweepers, once the opposing pokemon attacks me, usually in the first turn my indeedee pivots into polteagheist. (or great tusk in case of a ceaseless edge)

Polteageist-Antique @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Shell Smash
- Giga Drain
- Stored Power

Then we have polteagheist, this guy is my main sweeper, it can set a shell smash thanks to its focus sash and It's hard to remove with priority due to psychic terrain, it has giga drain if the opposing pokemon didnt break the sash and to get extra coverage, shadow ball with tera ghost and sotred power for the damage, maybe i could run tera normal for focus sash ceruledge.

Iron Crown @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 112 HP / 144 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 20 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Tachyon Cutter
- Volt Switch
- Calm Mind

This is the fastest iron crown possible thanks to the booster energy , its an expanding force spammer and it runs tera stell stab tachyon cutter for sash mons and coverage, calm mind for another win condition and volt switch for fast pivoting.

Dragonite @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Its a choice ban revenge mon, but I believe it itsnt very effective cause of dragapult, and cerulegde but otherwise its great, defensive tera fire and a lot of coverage with outrage, earthquake and stone edge.

Iron Valiant @ Choice Specs
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Expanding Force
- Moonblast
- Poison Jab

I also have specs valiant, again to spam expanding force and to get immediate damage, tera psychic for extra damage ( maybe i should go for a defensive tera idk), and i think its a bit weird to have a special and physical mode but i believe close combat is mandatory 'cause my team is so weak to dark types, especially kingambit and darkrai.

Great Tusk @ Assault Vest
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Knock Off

I also run a classical great tusk set with close combat for dark types, hazard removal, and electric immunity.

Maybe I should change some of the pokemon idk , i need help
 
CB dragonite doesn't really fit on a psy terrain team since you're gonna block your own e speed and thats the main value of the mon and Tusk doesn't really benefit that much either. I'd consider replacing them with an eject button hatterene and psychic seed hawlucha, should give you some hazard counter play and cover your dark weakness a bit. I'd go psy noise on hat and encore on hawlucha because your stall matchup is very bad.

Aura sphere should generally do more damage than cc on specs valiant and definitely replace poison jab with shadow ball or tbolt - prolly shadow ball.

Consider replacing volt switch on crown with focus blast or psyshock for stall, switching out with a weak attack and losing your booster energy and cms is def not worth it.

Also tera fight + tera blast on tea would help with gambit and none of your mons really want tera super bad anyway. Also you should prolly chuck on an anti rilla tera because that matchup is always gonna be terrible for psy terrain.

Psy terrain is quite strong though if you abuse tera since most people rely on gambit or samurott to beat it. I will say this team has a lot of potential to run away with the game with screens and psy terrain. Just be aware that a lot of matchups (court change cinderace, cb rilla, av hoopa) are gonna be really hard.

Maybe 2 eject button is too much idk, i could maybe replace it with an assault vest on hat, i rly like hawlucha tho
 
Maybe terrain extender on indeedee since i ussually am missing psychic terrain and i let it faint on first turn with healing wish for fast pivoting and to not loose to ceasless edge
 
Thats definitely a lot better but you were prolly better off with terrain extender on Indeedee if you're gonna run screens. You can't rlly afford to set up screens if you only have 4 turns of terrain. Also not much point in putting cm on eject button hat since its gonna get switched out, H wish would be better if you want to stick with eject button, but you could also run a cm or av set and that would be ok, just do some testing on ladder and see what you like.

Also hawlucha gets cc so definitely swap out high jump kick its far worse and you should run just a bit more speed. You want to outspeed booster energy valiant at minimum after unburden.
 
But now its too weak to goldhengo and ghost types in general, i think i have too much psychic mons i might remove valiant cause of type redondancy and cause i can surely replace it i just need a fast sweeper that covers the glaring type weakneesses that I have rn
 
Sure! remember generally you want something that can benefit from psy terrain, but the main thing is testing you can keep swapping stuff around until you're happy with the team. gl!
 
change indeedee's set to this:
Indeedee @ Terrain Extender
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Fairy
Timid Nature
- Expanding Force
- Alluring Voice
- Encore
- Healing Wish

as ricewind said, you wont get much value out of screens, and expanding force/encore are good options to have. prevents indeedee from being setup bait and also lets it be (moderately) offensively threatening. terrain extender will help you get a lot more mileage out of terrain. you probably also want healing wish instead of calm mind on hatterene
