SV OU Pokemon Team DSCCIZS

So this is my second thread after the former and I've updated my team to try to make it more balanced or at least, win more battles (I'm at around 1100 elo right now which is kinda low)

Here is the team (I will explain each team member's role to play soon)

EVs: 76 Atk / 252 Def / 180 SpD
Impish Nature
- Substitute
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Body Press

Here is the explanation for my team:
:deoxys-speed:Team lead: Can set up spikes and stealth rocks for passive damage as entry hazards. Future sight (STAB move) and focus blast (coverage move) are the main damaging moves. Evs are mostly spent on health and defensive stats to last longer in order to weaken its opponent. Held item is leftovers to last even longer.

:ceruledge:Physical sweeper: Bitter blade (STAB move) and close combat (coverage move) are the main damaging moves. Sword dance as set-up move. Destiny bond can be used for a reliable KO if focus sash is activated (If opponent activates focus sash, they will most likely attempt to finish off :ceruledge: so as long as :ceruledge: outspeeds opponent, it should be a KO after destiny bond). Evs are mostly spent on Atk and Spe as a physical sweeper. Held item is focus sash (u alr knew that).

:cinderace:(also physical sweeper): Pyro ball (STAB move) and high jump kick (coverage move) are the main damaging moves. Sword dance as set-up move and sucker punch is a priority move in case both pokemons on the field are low on HP. Life orb as held item for increased damage and Evs are mostly spent on Atk and Spe. (One time i managed to OHKO 4 of my opponent's pokemon in a row using this moveset)

:iron valiant:(Special sweeper): Moonblast (STAB move) and focus blast (coverage move) are the main damaging moves. Calm mind for set-up move and taunt to stop from using them. Evs are mostly spent on SpA and Spe and held item is focus sash

:zamazenta: (wall/wall and stall breaker): Body press since zamazenta's defense is highest stat. Iron defense, when used enough, can OHKO both walls and stalls (in my experience). Roar to switch out and reset stats of set-up abusers. Substitute to safely set up iron defense. For me, body press and iron defense can still easily OHKO an opponent's pokemon even if body press is not very effective against it.

:snorlax: (wall): Earthquake for coverage against poison, fire, electric and steel type pokemon. Substitute to set up curse. Body press is another damaging move for :snorlax: (I didnt really work that hard on this particular section, did I)

What changes would u recommend to my team?

Hi, this looks a lot better than your first submission. Your Deoxys looks interesting, but is not the best fit for your team without Taunt. This is because if your opponent sets up Stealth Rocks that could break the Focus Sash on your Ceruledge and Iron Valiant. I would also not recommend Substitute for setting up Curse on Snorlax, maybe you could change it to Rest, Curse, Earthquake, and Body Slam because Snorlax's defenses are usually too poor to get a Substitute off. Also Substitute would cut into its already poor longevity. Focus Sash is not that useful on Iron Valiant, you could probably put a booster energy on it. Taunt is not super necessary on Iron Valiant, you could add a coverage move like Thunderbolt. Leftovers are also generally just better on Zamazenta, especially since it becomes very bulky since Zamazenta doesn't have any form of recovery besides it.

Your team looks like it might struggle with Water- and Ground-types, so maybe you could put in a Swords Dance Rillaboom with Life Orb over Snorlax since Snorlax is not that strong into the current metagame.

Rillaboom @ Life Orb
Ability: Grassy Surge
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Grassy Glide
- Knock Off
- Wood Hammer
