First ou team ever

Hey everyone, Im a new player and i just wanted some sort of like insight on if my team is okay for like low elo since im new i dont expect to get very high up just yet.

i just basically send in heatran first for rocks and to magma storm kill something if i get lucky on who they lead with since they expect me to use rocks instead of killing them, scizor just for switches really like against a water type usually works pretty well or if someone uses poison moves i just set up and sweep/do alot of damage with bullet punch, flareon doesnt really bring much value when i use this its only pretty good against stall its just there since my girlfriend chose it, darkrai doesnt do much either i usually cant find a good time to set up with it but most people dont expect me to tera right away so i just do that and sludge bomb them basically a surprise, latios sweeps half the time since it gets 540 spa and i spam psychic and dragonite is pretty good since i just encore and set up. But i would like some help basically with like what pokemon i should switch out and what to keep but mainly keeping most mons, i would like some honest feedback tell me if its the worst team youve ever seen and i should scrap it or if i can build off it anything. Thanks
 
Ok, this team looks interesting, and i will respect the good taste of your gf so Flareon will stay there. I think that some changes might be good

First of all, there is no hazard removal on this team, this is specially a problem when Flareon gets worned down so incredibly quickly by hazards and Toxic Orb. Second, you have a bad matchup against Kingambit if your Heatran gets chipped down, since the only other thing that can meaningfully damage Kingambit Is Dragonite, and you lose if it's Tera Fairy. Third, the Flareon set is very awkward tbh. Also i think that you should add some way of speed control since the team is relatively slow, and Pult is a problem

My way of solving these issues is replacing the Scizor with a Great Tusk, standard Rocks Spin HR and Ice Spinner, changing the Latios to Scarf (also Scarf Ghold probably fits this team better than Latios) and change Psychic to Luster Purge since the 50% SpD drop is really good , and changing the Flareon set to something like this:

Flareon @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Guts
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Facade
- Flame Charge
- Rest / Quick Attack
- Sleep Talk / Flare Blitz

I wouldn't call it a good set by any means but honestly i cant think of something better.

I would also replace Heatran with Galarian Slowking since it helps against the mighty Kyurem and it brings the Flareon safely while also providing Future Sight support to break Defense more effectively, and change Encore on Dnite for Roost since it gives it more flexibility to use in the early to mid game, and maybe using Tera Normal Extreme Speed instead of Tera Flying Tera Blast, because the priority is really good to have

Hey thank you very much for taking the time to respond and help me out, really appreciate it. ill definitely try this out might be a little tricky to adjust to since ive never used Galarian Slowking nor do i like it much but thank you alot and especially for keeping flareon and making a better moveset for me.
