First: Let me give u a hint with gyarados:
Besides gyarados is lvl 50 (u should fix this lol), u should play moxie as ability. It is by far the better ability with this set.
Gives u the abiliity to gain a +1 Atk boost every time u kill a pokemon. Helps sweeping the enemy's team at the end of the game.
Because of dynamax this is even more viable

Well. Further it would be a great improvement for the team to have some kind of hazard removel (Defog or Rapid Spin). Cause ur team kinda struggles with Stealth rocks (Gyarados, Galar-darm)
U also should have something that checks Dragons with fire Coverage For example Hydreigon or Dragapult completely destroys ur team. Maybe sth like Togekiss?

Welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least 3 lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
