Sand Team Build Guide: Excadrill Tyranitar Ursaluna

Hi everyone, I want to build a sand team, and I know excadrill and tyranitar are the core for these often, but I also want to use Ursaluna. Is there a viable way to build around these three?

As I am new to competitive I am getting stuck around making this work… any tips? :)

I’m fairly new to Pokémon and I’ve never really played competitive that much but me and my friends are planning on getting really into it during champions. I wasn’t sure what mega to use but I was really interested in golisopod bec I like its design and I saw some leaks saying it might get tough claws. Any help would be very appreciated!

Balance Core Build: Tyranitar to Golisopod

I actually did some theorycrafting and I have the tentative roster of
Tyranitar
Incineroar
Milotic
Sinistcha
Salamence
Golisopod

I just put salamence cuz my team was really weak to ground and I think it works pretty well with the rest of bulk in this team. Against specific ice, fairy, rain cores that salamence struggles against, I could go for golisopod instead which has good priority damage and access to wide guard even in vanilla form let alone when it megas it can win games . Would love to get other people opinions on these teams. I've tried to create just a generic disruption core with enough that could take on anyteam so if anybody wants to stress test it that would be great.
