First off this is in the wrong section so expect it to be moved at some point. You really need to include descriptions, and I mean good descriptions of why you chose certain Pokemon, why they synergise well with one another, what particular meta threats certain Pokemon, moveset and EV spread choices help you deal with. You use a lot of 252,252 spreads, so why do you choose these over more complicated spreads? You have some very peculiar sets, spreads and Pokemon choices, like SD Bulu, Fairium Z Stoutland and Lax Celesteela (which I can say right away, you'd be better of going with Impish). But even with the more standard options like scarf Lele, why did you choose scarf over an alternative like Life Orb, Psychium Z, Bulky Sitrus Berry etc. Obviously each of these have their benefits and drawbacks, but why on this particular team did you find the speed worth the cost of being locked in to one move and the opportunity cost of running a different moveset?

If you can't put that much thought in to justifications for your team members then you can't expect other people to spend their time trying to optimise a team that you don't really care that much about. If you want an example of what I'm talking about, this is an RMT I made at the very start of the format. These are the sorts of things you should try to include in your descriptions.
