SV OU Sun team I made. It's my first team so its kinda bad. Looking to make it better

dino (Walking Wake) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 12 HP / 244 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Agility
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Flip Turn

Good sweeper. Timid Nature + high speed EVs + Protosynthesis + Agility means it outspeeds pretty much anything your opponent throws at you. Dragon Pulse is a good STAB move, and Flip Turn lets me reset sun by safely switching to Torkoal or Ninetales. Sitrus Berry keeps him alive longer to sweep. This guy has carried a lot of battles.

tortle (Torkoal) (M) @ Heat Rock
Ability: Drought
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Rapid Spin
- Body Press

Torkoal is pretty self explanatory. Drought to set sun, and Stealth Rock to deal extra damage, and then it switches out. It can then it can switch back in and be a good pivot. Rapid Spin removes hazards on your side. Lava Plume is a nice STAB move I think. Body Press is good because of the great Defense score that Torkoal has. (And high Def EVs.)

Bob (Venusaur) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Growth
- Giga Drain
- Weather Ball
- Sludge Bomb

Bob the Venusaur is here because he’s good coverage against Water type Pokemon. Giga Drain is a STAB move that helps him to regain health so he can live longer, and Weather Ball and Growth get a bonus in sun. Sludge Bomb is also a good STAB move. High SpA EVs make him real strong, and Tera Water to deal with fire types. Pretty simple.

Firey boi (Scovillain) @ Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Trailblaze
- Solar Beam
- Sunny Day
- Will-o-Wisp

Scovillain is here because of the good typing to take advantage of sun, and it is incredibly fast because of Trailblaze + Chlorophyll + Timid Nature + 252 Spe EVs and Solar Beam is an incredibly powerful STAB move which doesn’t charge in sun. Sunny Day so it can set sun in case my other sun setters faint. Will-o-Wisp is also nice to inflict burn.

Kitsune (Ninetales) (M) @ Heat Rock
Ability: Drought
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Nasty Plot
- Calm Mind

My backup sun setter in case something happens to Torkoal. Fire Blast because it’s a nice STAB move.
Solar Beam because no charge in sun, Nasty Plot to increase the power of the previous two moves and Calm Mind to raise SpD.
Timid Nature makes him rather fast as well.

sigma Σ (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock

Hazard setter. Places Stealth Rock in case Torkoal can’t. Also can be a good defensive pivot against Rock Types. Earth Power is good to take care of those pesky Rock types. Taunt to stop setup sweepers, Magma Storm as a good STAB move that deals damage over time, Grass tera type to stop Water types. High SpA EVs to deal a lot of damage.

Hey. I like the team and I've also made a sun team in the past, so I wanted to give some notes that I was given from other people to make it better. Plus some of my own personal takes.

For Walking Wake you have to go all out on the attacks. So I would suggest a either a choice specs set or a booster energy. It just works best when you're going all out and dealing as much damage as possible An example:
Walking Wake @ Choice Specs
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Flip Turn
- Hydro Steam

For a personal take I'd just suggest maybe swapping out one of venasaur's moves with earth power. Probably sludge bomb or growth.

As for the Scovillian I've built a whole team around that guy so here's my set in case you wanna try it. It also has the same idea as Walking Wake where it's going all out in attack.
Scovillain @ Choice Specs
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- Tera Blast
- Giga Drain
- Solar Beam

As for Ninetails you gotta pick either calm mind or nasty plot. Neither are bad options, though nasty plot might be better, but you can't have both. I'd highly suggest swapping one with Scorching Sands.

Lastly, I think it'd be best if you dropped the Heatran. Youre team just has too many fire types and it doesn't add that much value. So I'd suggest looking into other past paradox pokemon such as Great Tusk or Raging bolt.

That's all. Again I really enjoy the team idea so I hope you can improve it through this message. Have a good night.
