HO OU Team

I'm new to competitive battling and I've created a team and want to know what I could change

Scizor @ Starf Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 126 Def / 4 SpD / 126 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Sand Tomb
- Roost

I really like scizor and it's really strong I'm unsure about the starf berry but for now I'll keep it for 2 stages boost


Volcarona @ Absorb Bulb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 68 Atk / 68 Def / 52 SpA / 68 SpD / 252 Spe
Rash Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain
- Flamethrower
- Quiver Dance

Volcarona is just an unbeatable sweeper
and quiver dance is really no risk to set up
Bug Buzz is One Stab and Flamethrower the other


Toxapex @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Merciless
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baneful Bunker
- Toxic
- Scald
- Recover

Now I know that this should be hyper offense but with 2 pokemon just getting obliterated by fire I feel unsure if I should use Toxapex or another Water sweeper like barraskewda

Toxicroak @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 252 Atk / 126 SpA / 126 Spe
Rash Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Gunk Shot
- Nasty Plot

Toxicroak is like a second scizor but he is the one im most likely going
to swap for something better

Kyurem @ King's Rock
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 126 Def / 126 SpD
- Freeze-Dry
- Ancient Power
- Icicle Spear
- Dragon Dance

Kyurem's icicle spear can do insane amounts of damadge but unsure if I should keep it kings rock for the flinch or switch

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 32 Atk / 126 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Extrasensory
- Sludge Bomb
- Stealth Rock

My main wallbreaker And stealthrocker
When I get the opportunity to set them up
again the berry needs to be swapped

any advise would be greatly appreciated!

this team looks really unviable bc no synergy, some mons are outright irrelevant / outclassed, and this thread might get locked by a mod very soon bc u didnt really read the rules before posting, like we're asked to (rules say u basically gotta explain why u chose ur team members in like 3 lines). welcome to smogon doe :]
 
Welcome to showdown! I know your new, but this team is very unviable with pokemon that are outclassed by others, those EV spreads and natures too. First up, you should really learn what EVs, nature, and some move effects are. All of Toxicroak's damaging moves are physical, so why use nasty plot (which boosts SPECIAL moves) on it? Your EV investment is off as well. Volcarona's damaging moves are special attacks, so why invest physical attack EVs on it?

You'll need to learn the difference between physical and special attacks

Since you are VERY new to teambuilding, I suggest you use sample teams. It is made by professional players for new players like you. So pick one by clicking the pokemon sprite and import it to showdown.
Hope I helped
