Here's the two teams I brought:
https://pokepast.es/fb37cd2122d37a3f
Flying is an interesting type since it big loses a good amount of matchups while being decent in others. I mostly wanted to goon around with Ducklett as a "means" of preventing Dwebble from 6-0ing thanks to Aqua Jet, but it's a pretty garbo mon. I also threw in physical Natu for funsies, but priority is always nice. I gave it Toxic to deal with Lileep on Rock as well, though it's not really needed considering the typical Lileep Rock set can't touch Flying. The rest is more or less typical for what you'd see; difference being I opted for a more defensive Archen than would be normally used.

This is literally just the Bug CCAT I hosted months ago. But, I ended up using it since Bug is a fun type even though it's pretty inconsistent in what it can beat. Skorupi is unironically good as a fast Taunt user and has very valuable access to Knock Off, otherwise not accessible to Bug. Luckily I got MU here, but still could've been in big trouble if Lileep was able to set up enough, or if I lost the 50/50 with Dwebble towards the end. I was expecting the Cottonee to have Stun Spore, which is why I initially switched into Joltik on it mid-match. If you wanna read more about this team, check out my post in the CCAT thread. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/monotype-community-create-a-team.3630701/#post-7822112
