Me, thats who, this is a modified variant of a ctc team that was made before the magearna ban, this team here is what its based off - https://pokepast.es/957e67a9b53a9a70
But with the meta shifting, i decided to try to alter this team in line with the metagame and ended up with this

Team explanation
Garg - Its Garganacl, it walls half the metagame, it will be the tera most games, because rock bad, fairy good and acts as the teams chien pao check with its iron defense moveset, with it being ev'd to live 2 ice spinners or crunchs if you don't tera, it can dominate some teams entirely and even if you don't tera, its still a garganacl that can boosts its defense, meaning it can wall quite a bit
Zapdos - the yellow chicken is a paralysis machine and can pivot with volt switch, its very bulky, its so bulky in fact that it lives unboosted chien pao ice spinner guranteed, allowing it to go for para to ruin the snow leopard, roost keeps it healthy and its speed tier is solid and is able to 1hko most varients of defensive and offensive great tusk
Great Tusk- Assault Vest Great tusk is a unique dual tank mostly designed to bait in special attackers like dragapult and gholdengo and smack them hard whilst they are unable to ko it, its rapid spin support is obviously valuable and with added special bulk its able to pull this off easily, the lack of hazards on my end means keeping the balance for the match is crucial, and with added special bulk to deal with common ghosts i believe this achieves its goal well
Arcanine Hisui - First of the two more unique choices, non adamant arcanine head smash has a 75% chance to 2hko amoongus, meaning that not even rain will stop the bulky killer, walled by tusk but zapdos supports it very well. It is the teams resident balance breaker and i believe its supported well enough where it can really dominate some games
Dragapult- I added dragapult to add some pace to the team because its relatively slow and bulky, but i found with the slow and bulky set up, we will still being dominated by strong attackers like urshifu, so dragapult adds some offensive support in this department. Its excellent speed tier gives it the jump on chien pao and hisui lilligant, but chien pao still has sucker punch and i hate chien pao
Brute Bonnet - I have gone mad, haven't I, why brute bonnet over amoongus, well in testing, amoongus was too passive and didn't fit well with the team, but brute bonnet worked very well, its primary function is checking rain, where it stone walls basculegion and its mighty sucker punch has some great uses as well, you may think, what about u turn, well it can live most unstabbed u turns pretty easily, and bug types are not common in ou anyway
The team isn't perfect, it doesnt have hazards and is still being made by me, meaning its a bit volatile
Overall i'd like to hear some peoples opinion on this because i'm not 100% certain if its a good team or not
