Overview
I decided to use specs Blacephalon on the team as it is an amazing wall breaker thanks to a sky high special attack stat and a good offensive typing. Torkoal on the team provides utility support in the form of strlath rock but most importantly rapid spin support without which the team really struggles vs hazards. Mega Charizard X was added because it is a threatening set up sweeper and really benefits from the wall breaking power of Blacephalon to weaken teams or to remove it's checks/Counters. Scarf infernape was added as a speed control and to take on threats such as Mega diancie,Terrakion and Nihilego. Stall Breaker heatran on the team allows to break open defensive cores and cripples them for teammates to have an easier time. Lastly I decided to use Z Celebrate Victini over Choice band because the team already has good wall breaking power so the z celebrate Victini acts as a good set up sweeper/cleaner for the team as the omniboost makes it harder for the opponent to revenge kill it.

I decided to use Charizard Y because of its ability drought, which turns the weather to drought and you can fire off solar beams once the drizzle Mon is out. Torkal is a staple on fire as the rock settler and rapid spinner. I went for screens to help perverse the mons in battle and also to Defog to let Char y to run roost. Heatran is the Diance and nihilego check for the team while also killing the annoying walls on normal like Chansey and P2. Blacepheon I went for specs since it has a high spA stat to be the special sweeper of the team. Last but not is infernape. This helps against normal and is the speed control of the team. (Will edit this for grammar and deeper explaining later

Flareon is the cleric of this team, and can use Wish and Heal Bell to support the rest of the team, which leans on Flareon for healing with Wish. Volcanion is our Defensive tank and Defogger, which can use its Water typing to take water attacks, and can switch into Toxapex safetly and Defog away Toxic Spikes. The Speed EVs are used to outspeed Adamant Azumarill and use Haze, hazing out its boosts. Heatran can stallbreak with Toxic+Taunt. Blacephalon is the star of this team, as it runs a SubCalm Mind set that uses its Ghost typing to set up on Chansey, and carries a nuke with Ghostium Z. Mega Camerupt uses its Ground typing to switch into Electric Attacks and can set up Stealth Rock. The Speed EVs are to creep Toxapex. Moltres carries a SubToxic set that can use Pressure to PP stall opponents and has enough speeds to outspeed Jolly 70s such as Bisharp and Breloom.

It's a relatively standard Ubers team. Suicide lead Excadrill to set up rocks and Toxic the opposing lead mon and eventually allow RP Lando-I or Groudon to Setup Sweep. Arceus Ground to remove any other hazards when Excadrill is down as well as to act as a bulky pivot, Phys Def Zygarde-C to potentially wear down threats in Tapu Bulu, paralyze anything else w/ Glare and to bring down Flying types like Celesteela and Ho-oh, and CB Mamoswine as a Revenge Killer/Offensive Pressure for other Flying types with neutrality to Thousand Arrows like Mega-Mence, Yveltal, and Lugia.

Zygarde-Complete is the main physical wall and can paralyze things down so pokemon like Groudon and Arceus have an easier time cleaning.
Groudon-Primal is the teams main special attacker with Fire Blast being able to severely dent or OHKO anything that doesn't resist.
Arceus is the z move user and has recover so it can setup more easily. espeed is an option for it to become a revenge killer.
Excadrill is a standard suicide lead.
Landorus is the teams immediate speed control. Adamant can be used however it then loses to the standard Scarf Yveltal all the time
Gastrodon is the second check to water types and can handle a decent chunk of special attackers with its bulk and makes a great partner for zygarde-c

I picked Landorus because of its power as a special wallbreaker with its life orb + sheer force. I went with double dance pdon because it is insanely powerful once set up. It can deal a lot of damage due to the intense sun + swords dance with Fire punch. Next is hippowdon, the sand settler and rock settler of the team. I went with toxic so that way it can wear down physical mons while slacking off. Next is drill. This is the speed control of the team. I went with jolly so it will have more speed and life orb so you do not have to worry about the prediction game. Gastro is the spD wall of the team. It has mirror coat to bounce back special attacks that are thrown at it. Last but not least is Arceus, ice beam is to hit mega mence, and to get rid of hazards.
