hi cool team and you do have most of your shit covered which is cool and at this point there are just a few things that might be just a tad annoying to deal with. those being mega sharpedo, sableye, opposing psychic types, hydreigon, krookodile and even chandelure to an extent can be quite annoying as you are forced to play guessing games against it almost every time it gets a switch in. i think to start with a change of goodra -> hydreigon looks like a perfectly fine change to make improving your match up against psychic types and chandelure to a decent extent and it can even take an ice fang from mega sharpedo provided it is extremely healthy which is nice. running the stallbreaker set i feel would be more prudent as it allows you to taunt pokemon that try to clear away your entry hazards such as mandibuzz and provides you a much more studier answer to the likes of chandelure.
speaking of hydreigon, it does happen to be a pretty threatening pokemon for your team to face as well and you have no dark or dragon resists which can leave pokemon such as those to become incredibly problematic for you to face so to help with this i think you could make this change: jolteon -> whimsicott. whimsicott gives you a soft check to pokemon such as hydreigon which your team sorely needs in addition being a check to water types in conjunction with hydreigon which makes this change pretty acceptable. whimsicott also provides you some speed control in the form of stun spore which is going to be pretty invaluable for your team considering it's going to be blanket checking a lot of cleaners / sweepers such as mega sharpedo (w/ prankster encore).
now i think you could do with changing cursepert -> rain pert simply because you do have a pretty reliable answer to fire types in slowking and a check to psychic types in hydreigon so i don't think you'll be needing the curse variation of this pokemon. instead of this running the rain dance set would heavily improve your match up against offensive teams which is frankly, invaluable for you. and in conjunction with spikes it's able to function as a very effective cleaner for your team.
finally i'd just like to point out that sturdy isn't ever going to come into play for defensive forretress especially because it's going to be pivoting in and out of attacks as well as switching in on entry hazards in order to clear them leaving it never to be at full. you'd definitely get more utility out of running overcoat which allows you to switch into sleep powders from the likes of roserade and amoongus.
