Donphan + bulky offensive team Help and tips please

[GurrenWolfe]

Building a team using my favorite mon, Donphan, I really like the bulky offensive team archetype with him so here is my current team. any tips would be appreciated. p.s. not all are "bulky" mons, but they seem to cover some areas well enough to work. My mega is gyarados, i like the idea of having the option to mega or not rather than having to mega regardless. im debating putting uxie in instead of espeon, but i like having magic bounce. everything seems to be working well so far.

Did you post this in the correct section? This does not look like a team designed for VGC. Megas aren't even legal in the current format until Ultra series starts, and you are missing the two restricted legendaries that are essentially a requirement if you want your team to be successful.

oh i thought this was just regular OU, not VGC
