SV OU my first gen 9 team, any suggestions?

hi! I’m new to Smogon but I was a former top 500 in Sw/Sh and I’d like to be top 500 in Sv too! I would like to see if this team I made is good or not and see if you guys have any suggestions for me. I would like to keep all these Pokémon on the team so any suggestions for new movesets are perfect. Thanks!


:flamigo:
Flingermingo (flamigo) Choice Band
Ability: costar
Nature: jolly
Tera type: fighting
- tailwind
- low sweep
- hurricane
- u-turn

i really like this Pokémon and wanted to give it a speedy attacker moveset. I gave it tailwind to set up and u turn for tricky situation. Costar is the ability of choice because I have a Tatsugiri and Dondozo combo that I can use it with. I have wing attack and low sweep for STAB damage and I EV trained it to be super speedy and to have a really high physical attack so it can hit harder. I might change the ability to scrappy so it can hit Gholdengo with low sweep but I like costar on it.

:maushold:
Mausy (Maushold) @wide lens
Ability: technician
Nature: jolly
Tera type: normal
- population bomb
- encore
- follow me
- tidy up

Just like my flamigo I wanted a speedy physical attacker and Maushold is really good. I gave it only one attacking move, being population bomb, that’s boosted by wide lens and Tera normal. my Maushold is a speedy pokemon but it is pretty frail. I gave it tidy up so that I can set up if needed but most times I either KO a Pokémon or die before I can do anything. Follow me is mostly there for if I need to protect another Pokémon and can redirect everything to maushold.

:indeedee:
Baby girl (indeedee) psychic seed
Ability: psychic surge
Nature: timid
Tera type: fairy
- dazzaling gleam
- protect
- helping hand
- follow me

My indeedee here is to help my Armarouge by setting up psychic terrain and using helping hand to boost the power of its expanding force. Tera fairy is a defensive Tera type that’s only there for emergencies or if I need to KO a really dangerous dragon type. Which is why I gave it dazzling gleam, so that if I absolutely need to terastallize then I can at least kill something.

:armarouge:
Charlos (armarouge) @safety goggles
Ability: flash fire
Nature: modest
Tera type: psychic
- armor cannon
- expanding force
- psychic
-wide guard

armarouge is a powerhouse and with the help of my indeedee she does HEAVY damage with a tera psychic, helping hand, psychic terrain boosted expanding force. Wide guard is also there for team protection.at first I was going to run a trick room team around my Armarouge but I realized that it’s actually pretty fast if max EV trained so I instead went for a speedy team. Sue me.

:tatsugiri:
Sushi (Tatsugiri) scope lens
Ability: commander
Nature: rash
Tera type: water
- surf
- taunt
- icy wind
- dragon pulse

my absolute favorite Pokémon is super strong when paired with Dondozo and even on its own so I gave it a scope lens to boost its crit ratio and I gave it taunt because it’s a good move in competitive play. I also gave it dragon pulse for STAB and icy wind so that if something is faster than me, I can slow it down and do some chip damage. I really like this Pokémon and so I gave it max special attack EVs and max speed EVs so that its really fast and powerful.

:dondozo:
Sushi chef (Dondozo) Leftovers
Ability: unaware
Nature: impish
Tera type: water
- liquidation
- body press
- order up
- protect

my Dondozo is a bulky Pokémon that hits like a truck. Tera water is for powering up liquidation for damage but it’s not needed sometimes and order up is a good move in my eyes and it boosts attack after use. Overall a great Pokémon. When paired with Tatsugiri it gets an Omni boost and gets overall bulkier so with some leftovers It can heal between turns. I also maxed out its defense and special defense EVs so that its even more bulky and it can do some heavy damage with body press.
