Hi I'm totally new to any kind of semi-competitive pokemon, and was wondering what changes i could make to this team to improve it
annihilape: good staller while also being able to get in some heavy damage on other types, leftovers to improve survivabilty, STAB for rage fist allows for making use of the stall, and a boosted terra drain fist can let me build back health. Taunt prevents annoying status moves like poison or para from being used, allowing him to more easily push through teams
Fluttermane: Core sweeper, used after Skeledirge sunny day for photosynthesis terra boosted Moonblast, which I have found is able to clear many pokemon in one hit. Choice specs give the moonbeam extra oomph to OHKO more mons. Since I don't have koraidon, fluttermane is reliant on Skeledirge for much of it's damage, but still pretty good
Skeledirge: First pokemon thrown out usually, able to tank any early entry hazards until Corviknight can deal with them. Earth power lets it super effective hit mons like Miraidon. overall though, mainly used to set up sunny weather for Fluttermane, and stall for revives if needed with good Def, as it can sometimes be easily killed by a strong quick attacker due to its slow speed.
Corviknight: Hazard Clearer with defog, breaking the rythm of setup teams, and stalling with roost, good to swap in for predictions against ground type moves, as well as being fairly slow so you can utilize u-turn for a switch unpunished on squisher mons like darmantian. I mainly do just use it the same as Skeledirge, as a staller.
Darmantian: Anti-Dragon hitter with Icicle Crash, allowing it to hit dragon types such as miraidon. Earthquake allows for extra type coverage with Steel and Fire types in the category, such as Primal Groudon and chi-yu. I don't have a particular purpose for the Tera ice typing, except for the boost for icicle crash if its ever needed.
Dracovish: Physical sweeper, I put a choice sash on it cause i noticed it being outsped by a few mons, might switch it to a choice band though. one weakness is how it gets weakened by the sun from Skeledirge, but thats usually not a problem. The Fishious Rend allows for shredding fire and ground types like Ho-OH and Tyranitar.
