I've been trying to use M-Aggron and making a new team. My first team focusing purely on M-Aggron got me to Masters but Im trying to build a more flexible team. I like where Im heading but I think there are pokemon that I can change in order to have a more powerful team.

M-Aggron and Kommo-o are my main sweepers and depending on the pokemon I see on the opponent's team I choose either of them accordingly. M-Aggron is using a THE WALL build to try and survive as much as possible and KO'ing the opponent's team. Kommo-o uses more of a SpAtk build since there is a lot of physical pokemon in the meta. I have Leftovers so that when I use Clangorous Soul I heal a bit.

Sinistcha is my top supporter. Its synergy with M-Aggron and Kommo-o makes it so that I always bring it to redirect with Rage Powder, heal w/ Life Dew or setup Trick Room to disrupt and make M-Aggron act first. I really like this pokemon and how good it is with my gameplan.

Tyranitar is my anti-weather and my answer to Garchomp (reason why it has Ice Punch which OHKOs), Milotic (which is still a problem, but Knock Off to remove Leftovers helps) and other Ghost types like Aegislash and Basculegion. Usually I send it in the back so that when weather teams setup I disrupt it. It has some bulk to help it survive Earthquakes and at least survive for 1/2 turns. I like how it can disrupt weather teams while workikg with M-Aggron.

Incineroar is there mostly to help against physical teams w/ Intimidate, disrupt with Fake Out, and get some damage with Flare Blitz and Darkeat Lariat. It has some bulk that helps not get OHKO so that at least it can do a Parting Shot.

Primarina is one of my favourites and is there to help against sun, dragons, Milotic (why it has Energy Ball which also helps against Rotom-Wash) and in general just be bulky and ship away at the opponent with its high HP and SpAtk. This pokemon has won me some games and I really like it due to how bulky it is and how it can do considerable damage. Mystical Water helps improving the damage of Hyper Voice.

The team is not perfect, I lack a bit of Speed Control since the only thing I have is Trick Room on Sinistcha. Grass types like M-Meganium are also tough to beat since Rage Powder doesn’t work on them and they can 2 shot M-Aggron or just kill Kommo-o. Milotic is also a problem, I have answer but sometimes it's either too bulky or disrupts a lot with Hypnosis.

This team sometimes allows me to get some win-streaks but then I start losing and basically go back to where I was in the ladder. I do misplay sometimes but Im trying to improve, but still, I think there might some pokemon that might help the team more.

Any suggestions?
