Team Breakdown:

Torkoal: My dedicated lead that sets up 8 turns of sunlight with Drought and Heat Rock. It provides essential Stealth Rock support to secure KOs for my sweepers and keeps the field clear with Rapid Spin so Ceruledge keeps its Focus Sash intact. Lava Plume and Will-O-Wisp help cripple physical attackers.

Great Tusk: My main physical wallbreaker and setup sweeper. Under the sun, Protosynthesis boosts its Attack to massive levels, allowing Tera Ground Headlong Rush and Close Combat to break through bulky cores. Bulk Up lets it snowball, while Ice Spinner hits Flying-types and Dragons.

Walking Wake: My primary special wallbreaker that abuses the sun with Life Orb Hydro Steam. Draco Meteor nukes opposing Dragons and neutral targets, while Flamethrower gives extra Fire coverage. Flip Turn keeps offensive momentum when facing special walls.

Ceruledge: My late-game cleaner and emergency revenge killer. Focus Sash paired with Weak Armor allows it to survive a physical hit, gain +2 Speed, and set up Swords Dance on the same turn. Tera Normal provides a crucial immunity to Ghost-type moves like Shadow Ball, letting it sweep with sun-boosted Bitter Blade.

Iron Moth: A terrifying special cleaner with Choice Specs. Under the sun, Overheat and Fiery Dance deal massive damage even to resisted targets, while Fiery Dance can snowball its Special Attack. Sludge Wave and Energy Ball hit Fairy, Water, and Ground-types like Ursaluna.

Hatterene: My hazard control and defensive pivot. Magic Bounce blocks entry hazards and status moves from ruining my offensive momentum. Leftovers gives it longevity to use Calm Mind and Psychic Noise, while
Healing Wish brings Great Tusk or Ceruledge back to full health for a second sweep.
 
I have some suggestions for this.
Torkoal should use Fire Blast or Overheat so it can instantly deal more damage, and you have Wisp for burning.

Tusk really wants to get a speed boost in some way, as outside of Wake, this team is quite slow. Either Give it Spin over Close Combat, or give it max HP instead of max Atk so it gets a speed boost in sun.

A minor change, but make Wakes Sp Atk EVs 200, keep the speed the same, and just put the rest into HP. A bigger change is that I'd recommend is Tera Fairy, as Scale Shot Dragonite seems like an issue for this team.

Ceruledge seems fine for the most part.

Iron Moth looks fine aswell, but Tera Grass could be helpful at the same time.

Hatterene normally wants to run enough Speed EVs to outspeed Toxapex, and here you definitely want to, as Toxapex looks quite annoying for this team to deal with. Move all your Sp Def EVs to Speed to reach this speed tier.
