Skill Improvement: How can I improve this Trick Room team?

A little about the team:

- Cofagrigus: My physical wall and main TR setter. His goal is to click TR and then burn a physical attacker with Will-O-Wisp. I usually lead with Rotom Wash next to him. Mental Herb is to stop enemy Taunt or Encore and guarantee the TR, especially against Whimsicott and Sableye.

- Hatterene: My second TR setter, usually paired with Incineroar to guarantee TR with the help of Fake Out on turn 1. It's also my secondary special sweeper and my main sweeper against enemy dragon and poison pokemon.

- Mega Camerupt: My main special sweeper. It's as slow as Torkoal, and it hits way harder thanks to its ability Sheer Force. Even pokemon that resist fire damage can take a lot of damage from Eruption if they don't have special bulk investment. This pokemon loves it when enemy Mega Charizard Y sets the Sun for them.

- Incineroar: One of my two pivots and specially defensive walls alongside Rotom Wash. His main goal is to help Hatterene set up TR. While it's mainly a specially defensive support, it's also pretty good against enemy physical attackers such as Garchomp thanks to the Shuca Berry it's holding.

- Conkeldurr: My main physical sweeper. It can hit Mega Charizard Y pretty hard and OHKO or bring to Focus Sash enemy Pelipper with Thunder Punch. It can function somewhat outside of TR thanks to priority Mach Punch.

- Rotom Wash: Also a pivot and specially defensive wall. Can hit some pokemon super hard with Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump despite having 0 spa investment, especially in the Rain. I usually lead with him alonside Cofagrigus and click Volt Switch on turn 1.

TIL about the Giant-impact hypothesis, according to which, about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object called Theia collided with Earth. Huge amounts of debris were blasted into orbit around Earth, which formed a disk. Over time, gravity pulled that material together, thus forming the Moon.

Metagame: New Mega Floette + Ariados strat from Japan for Pokemon Champions VGC

This team was first featured in the West by pokeaimMD, so credits to him. From what I understand, this team works well for two reasons. First, Ariados walls both Snealer and enemy Mega Floette, while protecting Mega Floette with Rage Powder and/or breaking enemy Focus Sash with Toxic Spikes. Second, Snorlax is a very bulky pivot pokemon that walls pretty much all other pokemon in the game, and whose main purpose is to click Yawn on everything and then deal huge damage with Self-Destruct once it has run out of things to do. The rest of the team is kind of what you'd expect on a Protect the Floette-style team, but this team has some new cool tech, so I thought it was worth sharing here.
