this team is fundamentally different than mine, though if you're solely interested in tar drill then fwiw i dont like z drill + rapid spin. if youre spinning with drill i think you should run balloon to avoid spikes and give you more opportunities to get the spin off or leftovers is another solid option. with sd/toxic and sand rush you have tools to distinguish yourself from treads. it also makes the z sets much more threatening having rock slide to threaten mons like zapdos/moltres who otherwise wall z steel. so my advice would be to find different removal with z drill or make drill your spinner, dont have him be both.
as for the team i sent, i did have zama c in mind while building but i imagine you could swap zama c->h for a similar effect. id try to see how roar works here asw. other than that maybe sd jet shifu>zama-c to help with volc, prob eq>toxic/dtail on chomp for mdiancie.

as good as it appears to be isnt a reliable screens setter, 
almost always forces you out, 
or 
would be much better, if your adamant on using klefki replace defog with foul play, otherwise you invite mons in to setup on you (

set is a bit strange as swords dance + u-turn is a bit unnecessary, and fly without z just isnt good at all
set just doesnt work at all in the current meta, its just not a mon that isn't viable at all espeicially if you're not running specs, ideally swap it for a better more immediate special breaker (specs/z calm mind

is just so outclassed by other water types that could do its job but much better especially on screens (

down to 1% to break the game open for 
: Bisharp + Gallade was an iconic core back in ORAS, and so naturally this is the next logical step. AV Gambit essentially just does what AV Bisharp did back in the day but better: spam Knock, pivot into Fairies, and trap Ghosts and Psychics. Gambit is notably our main way of fighting Mega Diancie. The AV also allows it to trade well into miscellaneous special attackers like Koko, Terapagos, and Bolt, too. We're running enough bulk here to live an unboosted Focus Blast from Lele (and be overwhelmingly favored to live one from Ghold) from full.
: Moltres specs SpDef here to be a much sturdier Fairy resist and notably act as an answer to Valiant, Volc, and Zard Y, as well as assist Gambit in matchups against Z-Fight Ghold and Lele. Its natural typing still also allows it to switch into miscellaneous physical threats like Tusk, ID Zama, and Scizor, lending Molt some solid mixed-walling prowess, as well.
: Speed control and the mon trusted with the Z-Crystal. Koko is a very reliable switch-in to Zapdos, Torn, and even Bolt due its longevity with Roost. We're running HP Ice over Gleam here to snipe Lando from higher ranges as well as do much more meaningful damage to Gliscor. Z-Tbolt allows Koko to be an electric scalpel for removal by blowing away Wellspring and Mega Diancie in particular, but is always just good immediate damage whenever we need it.
: Star of the show. Bulky SD premises around the advantages Gallade has over its main Fighter Mega competition, Lopunny and Medicham: setup and better bulk, especially on the special side. Speccing into HP turns Gallade into a hit-taking champ, and makes it much easier for it convert its HP into a resource for grabbing multiple SDs before recycling its health with Drain Punch. Psycho Cut over Zen gives us a safe and consistent non-contact move with its lower power compensated for by the multiple boosts we can find. Shadow Sneak is my favored option in the last slot simply as a facilitator for cleanup by doing away with faster threats that have been sufficiently chipped. But you can consider more traditional coverage like Knock or Axel. You can run Wisp. You can run Taunt. TWave. Sub. The world is your oyster with this one, and it's always fun when something is this customizable. We're running enough attack to guaranteed kill Zard Y at +2.
: TankChomp is a multi-generational favorite of mine as an engine for chip damage, especially now with shiny new access to Spikes. Chomp is a key player for facilitating the endgame by getting up hazards and throwing itself into physical threats to wear them down passively. It circumvents its lack of recovery by making sure most things attacking it die alongside it, and is the team's main stopgap against Urshifu-R in particular. We're running enough speed to outrun Modest Bolt.
(
): Resist to Water? Barely know 'er. While the matchup into Urshifu is generally manageable by simply throwing Garchomp into it and making it kill itself (and sacking Molt to it for a Burn can work in a pinch, too), Wellspring poses a problem as a non-contact attacker, especially since the most Garchomp can do to it at once is maybe shuffle it out with a couple layers up. Matches against Wellspring are going to be contingent on either consistently out-offensing it with Koko, keeping hazards up, or simply trading into it with Gambit, Gallade, or Terapagos. But it's a workable matchup, for sure; you just need to keep on your toes.
