- Ursaring should be Adamant, max Atk max Speed, to outspeed stuff like Alomomola or Suicune that otherwise will end up leaving you burned and weaken. Max HP without Eviolite doesn't really make sense. Also I'd get rid of Covet for something else like Earthquake or Close Combat.
- Galarcuno would appreciate U-Turn over Psyshock or Icy Wind. Also Trick is a interesting option to cripple things like Blissey or Cresselia.
- I don't get what your Florges does: if you intend to be a special wall that supports the team, you better have Max HP/Max Def with a Bold nature (its SpD being already massive).
- Same goes for Gyarados: why max Def, max Atk? If you intend to be defensive, you need max HP, max Def but imo it's a waste on such a mon, you'd be better with an offensive set, Max Atk, Max Spewith DD/Liquidation/Brave Bird/Sub, EQ or Roost.
Hope it can help!
