Raichu and Metagross

Hello, I made this team for mega raichu and then added metagross to play against fairies but now I think, they kinda overlap each other. Especially both struggling against ground and garchomp being so prevalent the only difference is raichu can stomp rain with its moves even ohko swampert with grassknot and metagross can tank fairies but there's not much fairy on ladder anyways.
The team works well on ladder but this team is not prepped for trick room and I wanted something for that too. Most of the evs are just maxed for speed and attack except incineroar who I didn't know what to do with and wanted bulk on it so I made it half in each def and sylveon is trained to be faster in tailwind than a non scarf garchomp.
I'm also gonna paste the showdown text format for the team if that helps more.
Thanks!

Also, it says "team questiom" on the tag, if ya'll wanna fix it lol
mystic water without protect?
i dunnoo
Usually runs as a endgame sweeper lol but I'll put protect in
Don't really use flip turn much
And aqua jet is useful as a priority
I also tried aerodactyl in this team but it died fairly quick. And made raichu bad against staraptor and rain without prankster tailwind
Thank youuu
Ahh, haha
Glad you liked it 🫰
I really wanted to run raichu screens too but that was before I realised raichu is made up of toilet paper, it might be good with eel tho and certainly is good with metagross
Wait what about a mega eel trick room team💀
But first I gotta fix this team's trick room weakness lol
