SV OU Sinistcha Balance/Hstack Team (I'm low ladder btw pls help)

Hi lol it's my first time posting but I felt good with this team, please rate

I made versions of Sinistcha hazard stacks and they performed well against stall teams but Im kind of afraid of Dondozo once Sinistcha is gone,

Heatran is also a great 'mon with Sinistcha since they cover eachother's weaknesses, with clefable/corv as a knock off absorber incase ogerw has knock off.

Curse garg is also good against other ghost types which sinistcha struggles against like ceruledge, dragapuld etc(I couldnt run stealth rocks garg since it would be redundant because heatran alr has stealth rocks)

Idk if I should replace corv with clefable and vice versa idk which one is better since corv is more of an endgame mon when sinistcha no longer has boots so it would defog and clefable is generally good

Also Idk if I should give garg stealth rocks and change heatran's stealth rocks into willowisp or flash cannon since fairy types can be a struggle, especially IVal and Enamorus

I also dont really know if Weezing Galar is better than clefable/corv

I feel like I would struggle with the tera fairy spdef dragonite set since it pretty much checks half of my team, i just havent fought against it

I may also struggle with setup sweepers so I made clefable unaware boots but that felt clunky

So far, I've won every game since I'm low ladder trying to get out of low ladder

I think the main issue here is that mons like Garg and Heatran really like to have hazard control. Heatran especially is more at home on offense/bulky offense structures since it doesn’t always stay alive a long time.

It’s ok to have a Mon with leftovers on boots spam but your opponents can just get their own hazards up really wear your team down. Defog also isn’t great since it resets all of your progress.

If you want to run balance Hstack, I think the following team could be good:

It keeps the Corv-Sinistcha-Clef build of your previous team. Having Knock Off on both the physical and special side will help you beat stall in the long run. Ting Lu here can phase special set up sweepers while Corv can set up iron defense against offensive ones. Balance teams typically can get overwhelmed this gen so you have to be deliberate against set up teams.
