SV Ubers Need help with my team

Currently using this team, got up to 1400 with it (worse than the other gimmicky balance team i used lol). Anyways i built this team myself but i don't get why it doesn't work properly. Could anyone help me with addressing the issues?

THE TEAM:

Gen 2 Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Moonblast
- Psyshock
- Mystical Fire

I use flutter mane as my 2nd form of speed control, the speed is really good, especially in the late game where it acts as a sweeper.
Feel like its really strong, but is very weak to bulky arceus formes/sticky web. Also can't face ho-oh, since i made this goober run mystical fire for zacian coverage. Should i replace psyshock with power gem? I genuinly don't know

Im good trust! (Koraidon) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Low Kick
- U-turn
- Outrage
- Flare Blitz

Boring ol scarf koraidon. I think this mon can just stay the way it is.
I actually wasn't considering running flutter mane until i started using this.
I genuinly think this is my only mon not bothered too much by sticky web.

Dunsparc :) (Arceus) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multitype
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Claw
- Extreme Speed
- Taunt

I cant lie, i don't feel like ekiller fits my team too well, but im using em anyways because of the fast taunt round start.
ALso has a tendency to sometimes sweep early game, but i don't know if i should keep em because hes not too consistent.

Angry whale (Kyogre) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 248 HP / 164 Def / 80 SpA / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Feels absolutely great to use on this team! Kind of a koraidon killer, and is a great switch in to fairy arc and stuff it resists.

Goobert (Giratina-Origin) @ Griseous Core
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 104 Atk / 112 Def / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poltergeist
- Dragon Tail
- Defog
- Will-O-Wisp

I really wanted to run giratina-O regardless of its viability. Its my favourite mon and to top it off, it feels amazing on this team!
Really consistent defogger, actually my 2nd most tera'd mon. In base its already great, but when tera steel it walls a TON of mons.
Lando-T and Caly-ice absolutely get murdered by this goober, and he has some great matchups against other mons. Not easy to switch in tho.

Even fatter turkey (Ho-Oh) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Brave Bird
- Whirlwind
- Recover

A great all around wall, however i feel like it struggles against some strong offensive threats, notably power herb lunala, power gem flutter mane, life orb eternatus, special arceus formes with taunt. Kind of feels like a mon i should keep unchanged, however im considering running a more offensive variant.


So yea, thats my team. I feel like i lose to some forms of teams, notably sticky web and trick room. Is there any way for me to improve general matchups, and should i replace any pokemon to improve the viability of my team? I wouldn't mind changing team archetypes if necessary, i happily would run hazard stack, bulky offense/balance or stall if it means helping me with my team.
 
Consider running Koraidon's signature move instead of low kick. Same typing and it's more consistent. Also the same problem with grass knot and heavy slam.

Arceus should use a life orb or a choice band, why heavy duty boots? Are you really scared of sticky web on a mon that runs extreme speed?

Kyogre should run atleast 1 water type move. I heard waterspout was popular, but the drawback might not be worth it, so maybe Surf or Hydro Pump. The teratype should both be defensively good and STAB 1 of the mon's moves preferably and I think it could do with tera type electric instead which doesn't resist grass unlike dragon, but buffs thunder and ground types are already scared of kyogre, so you can absolutely go ham with it. Dragon's weakness to ice and fairy and kyogre not having any strong move against them is probably not what you want.
power gem flutter mane, life orb eternatus
Your team would probably like having a steel type somewhere in there. Flutter Mane can run Thunderbolt (smth Kyogre is weak to) and Shadow Ball tho, so pure steel won't do. I'm thinking Hisuian Goodra for the huge sp def and resistance against Thunderbolt, it doesn't resist Shadow Ball, but the sp def is why I'd choose it, it's a must-have here.

Low Kick is a lot better on Scarf sets because of the heavy Pokemon in the format, tends to do more into things like opposing Kyogre and Zacian-C.

Again, Heavy Duty Boots is the most popular. It is used to avoid hazards, but not Sticky Webs. Mostly Spikes, Stealth Rocks, and the occasional Toxic Spikes. If you want to switch to an offensive item, Silk Scarf is nice to boost Extreme Speed without sacrificing much.
Kyogre should run atleast 1 water type move. I heard waterspout was popular, but the drawback might not be worth it, so maybe Surf or Hydro Pump. The teratype should both be defensively good and STAB 1 of the mon's moves preferably and I think it could do with tera type electric instead which doesn't resist grass unlike dragon, but buffs thunder and ground types are already scared of kyogre, so you can absolutely go ham with it. Dragon's weakness to ice and fairy and kyogre not having any strong move against them is probably not what you want.
While I do agree that Tera Dragon is suboptimal, Tera Electric is way worse for a variety of reasons. You don't need a buff on Thunder that much and sacrifice good defensive potential, namely with Tera Posion or Tera Fairy, which I recommend. Also, this Kyogre already has Surf? Why are you telling them they need a water attack when they have Surf?

PLEASE dont use Hisuian Goodra in Ubers. It sucks.

CyberRobotnix, while I see you are eager to help, I do recommend learning the tier before trying to help. From what I've seen here, you are clearly inexperienced in the meta and need to lurk a bit more. Don't let this discourage you, however! Keep trying to get better and I'm sure you'll be able to produce insightful and thoughtful rates!

I'm going to go and agree with this, but I would have to recommend a Zacian-C, or a Dusk Mane Necrozma. If you want another offense mon you could probably go for Zacian-C, but I wouldn't recommend this over Dusk Mane for this team specifically because you already have Flutter Mane with fairy coverage. Because of this, Dusk Mane can serve as a powerful steel mon and would also work as another physical attacker and a tank if you want to do the dusk mane build I prefer, which I put at the bottom of this reply. The only problem with this is you would have to decide who you would be switching.
To address your problem with webs, either continue using extreme speed arc, or enter Hatterene. Hatterene magic bounce alone is scary enough to usually discourage to placement of webs. Yet again, its hard to implement the mon because it would leave a hole in your teams coverage, which is a problem with most set ups which hatterene pretty much is, because you already have fairy.
Have you considered loaded dice koraidon? If you do decide to put an anti web or a set up of your own, a loaded dice koraidon with scale shot could shred. Just a suggestion, but with your current team I would only say it would really help if you replace one of your sweeper mons at any time.
My final thing is that really your team is strong, the amount of sticky web set ups aren't showing up as much anymore in my more recent experience and seeing the increase of glimmora usage which doesn't web I see this team as pretty great with and you address your the flaws well. (aside from trick room which is almost always rough to counter)

Thank you a lot for your comment! Should i maybe replace my flutter mane w zacian c, and keep my scarf koraidon? While flutter mane is amazing, it has nearly 0 bulk. Besides that, i wouldn't know what i should replace with a steel type on my team. Maybe ekiller? I don't feel like it fits my team very well even though its basically my only webs counter atm. While my team radiates hyper offense (atleast i feel like it) i kind of prefer to play bulky offense more, and i feel like that sort of solves my webs since i dont NEED the speed

there are a few changes you could make to the team to fix this:

1. replace ekiller with defensive Arceus-Fairy
2. replace flutter mane with Ting-Lu

this gives you both a blanket special check into annoying mons like the ones mentioned here, and a defensive arceus form to serve as further backbone into koraidon and the various setup sweepers in the tier

another change i would suggest is going heavy duty boots Koraidon and running choice scarf Kyogre. this change allows you to have a more useful Koraidon into the webs matchup by freeing Koraidon from having to run its less broken scarf set, and with arceus fairy your team will be a lot more equipped to handle Koraidon defensively.

this also gives you a strong defensive backbone between arceus, ho-oh, and ting-lu that should be able to handle most setup sweepers in the tier.

defensive steel types aren't particularly great right now, they get rly easily overwhelmed by how good ho-oh, offensive eternatus, ting-lu, landorus, and koraidon are

also outside of NDM a lot of the steel types are kind of just bad mons— ferro isn't in the game
