Afters years of playing mono SD we decided to try balance and apparently it works (when you have 8x the BST of your opponents playing is easy) Pokepaste
We wanted a defogger to allow us to greed on the rest of the team and we decided on Cramorant because he’s slightly less horrific than the other options (because its typing lets it beat most rockers). Gulp Missile is to burn their timer as they google what it does (and also it paras). The moveset is standard with brave bird to help us beat quiver dancers with gulp missile shenanigans. Tera ground was chosen at literal random to make someone mad.
P2 completes the bird-spam core with cramorant and takes advantage of the lack of hazards on account of being comically bulky. Tri attack for hax, ice beam to blue hax, thunder wave to genuinely cheat, and recover so we have more chances to hax (I hate this game
). 12 speed lets us outspeed base 95s after para and 12 SPA lets us break Mismagius sub with ice beam. The SPDEF lets us hit 291 which is my favorite number
After P2 and Cramorant made their nest, their natural predator of Conda the landsnake appeared and threatened their family. Anyway Conda is here to glare, rocks, rest and repeat (in that order) he also checks every pokemon in the game because of its OU stats. 12 speed lets us outspeed base 115s after para.
Shaymin continues the “out-stat everything” theorem we have going on. Shaymin is a good offensive mon that can switch in reliably throughout the game and force progress with seed flare, a move that critically feeds all our precious birds. Earth power is its 1 good coverage move and air slash is there to make you mad with paraflinch. Synthesis and lefties to stay healthy and absorb status.
Venomoth is the moth important mon on the team. We went with basically max phys bulk mono attack quiver to punish you for playing. (Unironically can we ban quiver? Thanks in advance!
). Sub + Morning sun takes advantage of para as much as possible, we gred leftovers because of our defogger and it makes subbing more obnoxious. Tera Dark to stop prankster mons from encoring. Fun game
Mesprit is known as “The Being of Emotion.” It taught humans the nobility of sorrow, pain, and joy, so for the moves we chose Psychic to represent sorrow, D-gleam to represent pain, and U-turn to represent joy, trick scarf is there because you people don’t know how to play and keep using degenerate crit-me-not sets and hopefully this will make you get off the ladder. Mesprit is speed control that isn’t affected by hazards and can still switch into things. Mesprit can also levitate, like a bird.

For sure deserves a mention here, as you have nothing to reliably stop Substitute + Quiver Dance sets. I find interesting that you had Brave Bird Cramorant which helps against it, but it's not enough, and i'll make the team stronger against it during this rating.
Typhlosion, mainly with Choice Specs set can also be a nightmare for this squad, you might not know but it usually runs Blaze and not Flash Fire, so Porygon2 can't really check it for free. Your Fire resist being a non-spdef invested Cramorant also isn't helping, since Eruption can 2HKO it at max power, or even Tera Fire Fire Blast, if it have been chipped previously.
Glastrier can also cause trouble as you have anything to really nuke it, while it is able to break through most of your team with STAB + Coverage moves such as Close Combat.
