Don't have screenies of the #2 peaks but here's a #3 peak with this team
Teambuilding Process
I wanted a setter that got Trick Room up vs. the majority of the tier while also not sapping momentum, which Uxie accomplishes with it's absurd bulk and Memento. Originally this was a Bronzong, but me and user Fish1899 decided that Uxie fit better thanks to access to Memento.
I added a Magearna because Magearna is a great secondary setter that applies insane offensive pressure. A big plus is being able to set vs. Hoopa, one of the few things that stops Uxie's Trick Room. Magearna is absolutely mandatory on Trick Room builds due to the insane role compression it provides.
I added Mawile next because it seemed like an awesome Pokemon to use with its insane attack and low speed. It provided Priority for the team, remaining a huge threat outside of Trick Room
I added Alolan-Marowak Next as its offensive typing complemented Mawile's really well, breaking down Mawile's few checks such as Landorus-T and Venusaur. It's honestly the best abuser of Trick Room in the tier with Thick Club and SD, and provided an important check to Strong Fire types like Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y
I added Cresselia next because I needed another check to Ground types like Garchomp, Landorus-T, and Zygarde and needed another Trick Room Setter. I really didn't want to use Porygon2 because it saps momentum and doesn't really do anything besides set Trick Room. Cress also provides Healing Wish support with Lunar Dance which is super useful.
Looking over the team, I realized I needed a Water Type because none of my abusers OHKOed Landorus-T unboosted, and I didnt have anything to stop Greninja from Clicking Water Shuriken. It provides more priority to help pick off weakened Pokemon outside of Trick Room. Checking Bisharp is also nice with all the webs running around. It was originally a Tapu Bulu but Fish1899 and I changed it after having Trouble with Heatran and sorely wanting Priority.

Yeah so now that we've confirmed that Uxie is disgustingly fat you basically click rocks if they can't 2hko you, and then TR and memento. If they can, you just TR, then rocks, then memento (unless they lead their defogger or some shit, then you just memento. You actually just rocks vs greninja if you think they're protean because specs pulse is magearna fodder (you can just hard into it), and rocks are always nice). If they lead Smeargle you just magic coat on the spore, TR memento into Bonemerang Wak, and if they lead Tapu Lele or Tapu Fini you set up rocks, burn the mental herb if they taunt, and then coat on the second taunt. Uxie is pretty straightforward and if they lead a setup mon you get TR up and one of your three sweepers can probably OHKO it with TR up. If you can, keep Uxie alive as it can still set TR and memento late game. Magic Coat makes it so ferrothorn can't get free layers which is super nice since we don't have hazard removal. It also let's us bounce back taunt if we already burned our mental herb.

Magearna is basically the only setter on Trick Room that also takes full advantage of Trick Room itself, and Magearna does that beautifully here. Trick Room Magearna is a fantastic setter and abuser and checks important shit, helping prevent Ash-Greninja from just clicking Dark Pulse or Water Shuriken and win, soft checking Protean, etc. Magearna is often the win-con late game, simply steamrolling through teams with powerful Soul-Heart Boosted STABs. Electrium Z is used to nuke Tapu Fini, Toxapex, and Celesteela, preventing taunt from the former and preventing the last two from stopping sweeps prematurely.

Alolan Marowak is the true star of this team. Unless your Opponent has an Ash Greninja (and even then shuriken needs 4-5 hits to kill, depending on if rocks are up), you can nearly always come in on the freshly Mementoed Pokemon, and SD up and grab your two kills, eliminating two crucial members of their team. A few other things annoy Marowak like Disguise Mimikyu (but it can't switch in under Trick Room), but Marowak is nearly always the MVP unless your opponent has a very specific set of mons.

Mawile is another champ. Mawile is a godsend for Trick Room this generation, pressuring the hell out of every build while being damn impossible to OHKO thanks to a really nice typing of Steel/Fairy, letting it live anything from almost every mon that doesn't carry strong super effective STABs. Play Rough and Sucker Punch are 100% Mandatory on Mawile. Thunder Punch and Fire Fang round out the coverage, providing ways to hit Celesteela, Toxapex, Scizor, Ferrothorn, opposing Mawile, opposing Magearna, and Metagross under Trick Room.

First off, don't be a dumbass and sack Cress when they have a Garchomp.
For real though Cress is a fantastic Trick Room Setter late game with Trick Room, and reliably gets up Trick Room vs. almost anything due to insane defenses. Moonlight is the most expendable moveslot but is typically there so Cress can be at like 70 when it switches out after it gets Trick Room Up so you can set again late game while sacking something to get a sweeper in for a few turns. Lunar Dance is super useful because it lets you play aggressive vs. a Mementoed mon early game because you can always heal up your sweeper with Cresselia if you want to. Ice Beam snipes all the Grounds that give this team serious issues and lets Cresselia be a very solid chomp switch in that can simply get damage off on these grounds (Because Garchomp and Landorus are only issues at full health - a weakened Chomper and Lando are easily dispatched by Aqua Jets and Sucker Punches.

Stupidly strong sweeper #3 here in +Atk LO SD Crawdaunt. Bulu is a pretty physically bulky (by sweeper standards) mon that resists Craws STABs, right? Wrong.
+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Crabhammer vs. 40 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 260-307 (89.3 - 105.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
Almost everything in this tier dies at +2 to Crawdaunt. Using Crawdaunt is pretty brainless - just Trick Room up, SD if needed, get 2 kills, repeat.

Venusaur - Fuck Venusaur. If They get rocks up Venusaur is a pain, Marowak can only come in so many times. Luckily, you don't need Trick Room, and it's often better to bring in wak and just click blitz to waste synths and stuff. If they're Knock Off, you just lose unless you paralyze/burn with Mawile.
Spore Users - Playing around Spore Users is a pain since Amoonguss underspeeds Crawdaunt and walls Magearna. Smeargle is also kind of annoying since you really dont wanna magic coat webs since then Bisharp gets free +2 whenever it comes in (and still outspeeds everything) but bouncing spore is awesome. Anyhow the team doesn't really have good Sleep Fodder.
Mimikyu is annoying because Shadow Sneak is a pain for Marowak and because Disguise wastes one of your Trick Room turns which are all-too scarce. Break disguise ASAP, then Magearna/Mawile can beat it 1v1.
Tapu Koko is annoying when Trick Room isn't up because the team lacks an electric resists. Despite this, it's only a true issue when it's a taunt variant. Taunt Variants stop Magearna from Setting up on it, forcing one of your fat psychics to eat a Thunderbolt and waste their Mental Herb in the process. A well played Tapu Koko will realize
Opposing Marowak are annoying but can be outplayed since Uxie lives t1 and sets anyway, but it underspeeds it so you have to choose between tr and rocks.
