SV DOU Offense with Raging Bolt!

This is my second DOU team on pokemon showdown. Maybe rough around the edges but that is why i'm posting it i guess.
SUPPORT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:incineroar:
Incineroar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SpD
Careful Nature
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Parting Shot
Watching a few too many WolfeyVGC videos, I immediately picked up Incineroar. Due to fake out, Great typing, Intimidate, And a few other things, I believe incineroar is the best pokemon for doubles, Soo it was EASILY my first choice. I picked the most standard set soo i could learn more about you know, Doubles, And i felt like it was easy to build around supportive pokemon. In here, Incineroar is the star of the show. Also the shiny is ugly ;D

:rillaboom:
Rillaboom @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Grassy Glide
- Wood Hammer
- U-turn
I believed Rillaboom is the natural pokemon to pair with Incineroar, Due to constant fake-out, Constant pivoting. Grassy surge helps heal up the actual offense, And pairs up well with Raging Bolt. Since Rillaboom is like, Support, It won't really need alot of power. The set, I believe, Is standard.

:whimsicott:
Whimsicott @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Tailwind
- Encore
- Helping Hand
At this point, I thought: "Whimsicott is standard", Soo i picked Whimsicott. The one sample set with tailwind was the covert cloak set soo i picked it. Feel free to change this set!

ATTACK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:chien-pao:
Chien-Pao @ Life Orb
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Spinner
- Sucker Punch
- Sacred Sword
- Protect
Chien Pao helps with dealing damage. Im sorry, I can't really explain any of it's moves besides that chien pao deals insane damage soo i chose it, Feel free to change it's set!

:ogerpon-wellspring:
Ogerpon-Wellspring @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 200 HP / 124 Atk / 184 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Horn Leech
- Swords Dance
- Spiky Shield
Soo, My Chien Pao can't really hit fire types and stuff, Soo ogerpon wellspring was my next choice. I chose the bulky attacker set, Except i replaced "Follow Me" With "Swords Dance" Since assisting your support is WEIRD! I can't really explain this set because it's a sample set soo feel free to change it's set!

:raging_bolt:
Raging Bolt @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 188 Def / 68 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 20 Atk
- Thunderclap
- Dragon Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Protect
Raging Bolt is the second star of the show! And very much who i was building around. Plus it has synergy with rillaboom as in that it heals off of grassy terrain. Initially, I thought of pairing Farigiraf with Raging Bolt for Trick Room, But i don't know, Guess i didn't succeed as much with Farigiraf? But anyway, Raging bolt sometimes stays on the field THE ENTIRE GAME which i believe is a sign of success.

Overall, Im very new to doubles. Sorry if some of the descriptions are not very informative. If you can add some useful pokemon, Do so! I'll appreciate it. The team also seems very weak to trick room.
Games where Raging Bolt stood the entire match:
