Anyway I was thinking, what is tentacruel good for in the current meta? Was tryna use it because Dank T-spikes and spin but I don't know what it deals with anymore and I don't want to use Cofag cause it's ass.

Ok well for the first team:
I don't like having Deo-D and Ferro on the same team. I get the point: Stack hazards then have a spinner for your own side, but the team just isn't offensive enough for this hazard stack style with DeoD, Forretress, Zapdos, and Doublade. Also I see no reason not to run Specs Noivern. You could change DeoD so something like Adapt Chomp with SR, who can do really nice damage to Manaphy. Can then change Forre to Meloetta, just a better mon. Since that makes you ttar weak, I would consider Gene --> Luke who can switch in sometimes, or at least revenge kill/get free SD up. Idk just my thoughts, we play really differently

Second team:

So that Exadrill thing is neat, -Ate spin and hit Flying types. The thing is, does this beat GW Skarm? I assume so but idk. Its a nice lure for Zapdos, which might become really prevelant in the meta as a Flying resist. For this, maybe pair it with something that could take advantage of getting rid of Zapdos, ie: Aerilate Mence/GDos?
I think Chesnaught is even worse now since Flying coverage will be more common. You have decent flying checks ye but, idk what else Ches really does for you now, its just not going to be as good as a phys wall. If it was me I would try fitting that mence/gyara threat in that spot, then consider making Skarm defensive if I get overwhelmed by phys attackers
