Dracovish: This is here for some nice coverage and massive chip with speedy fishious rend,takes care of screens with psychic fangs and has STAB dragon rush and nice coverage in crunch. This is as fast as possible to get that double damage on fishious rend as many times as possible. Mostly used as entry to get rid of dangerous mons like Groudon.
Zacian: Very strong mon, also good anti dynamax with behemoth blade, an absolutely broken ability and one of the best typings in the game, insane base stats, just slaps in general. Would be crazy not to run it.
Torkoal: This is here to set up sun for charizard and venusaur, also its insanely slow to punish trick room users with eruption, since the rest of my team is made to be fast, and dies easily in trick room. Solar beam and earth nice coverage moves.
Landorus. This is here to punish things that my team is weak to, hence the expert belt so i can hit super effectively as hard as possible. Earth power stab, and focus blast and psychic some coverage moves. Weather ball pairs with sun to hit venusaur.
Charizard: This is a gmax mon, made to do damage. Pair with sun from torkoal to activate solar power. Flamethrower and air slash as STAB max moves/ G max wildfire, and solar beam to pair with sun to hit kyogre and rock types. Charti berry so i dont get one shotted by rock type moves.
Venusaur: This is an entry, pair with sun for free sleep. This is faster than max speed timid regieleki. No solar beam so i can actually hit kyogre when it swaps in to counter sun. Earth power for fire types and zacian, and sludge bomb for nice STAB

Have used this team for about a week.How should i improve my team?
 
In BSS you get two legends, iirc here too. Landog should be LO cause sheer force stops the recoil on boosted hits from the ability. Is Dragon rush good on Vish? It seems a bad move but I know outrage is unreliable in doubles.

Hey man. Here's what I think. I think the team has a very solid base, but there's a couple issues.

1. You only have one restricted mon (Zacian). To fix this, I'd add Groudon over Torkoal, since you want to set sun anyways.
2. Charizard's moveset is alright, but I think it'd be better if you replaced Flamethrower with Blast Burn. Give its Gmax Wildfire a real kick. Also, (this is completely up to you, its preference) I usually don't keep Solar Beam on Charizard; instead I replace it with Ancient Power since it counters other Charizards)
3. Swap something on Venusaur for either protect or Weather ball
4. Lando to me is a bit weird. Lando-T is much better with Intimidate, there are better mons. You don't really need much offense, especially since you already have Dracovish. Add a support mon here. To me, I like Tornadus (not T). With Prankster, you have the potential to act with Dracovish and work in AND out of trick room (with tailwind and scary face). You can also use rain dance to boost Dracovish's moves even more.
5. If you like Tornadus, go full ham. Since Dracovish has no need to worry about speed, give it a band. A lo if you want to dmax (althought that probably won't happen). I also think Ice Fang is a better move over Dragon rush, especially taking in mind the increased accuracy and chance to flinch/freeze, and covering the same dragon weakness.


Zacian is all good because it's Zacian
