Hyper Offense Whimsicott Mega Star Team Help

I've been using this and so far climbed up to ultra ball (not playing a ton so it's doing well).
The main game plan is simple: lead whims and star and threaten most things.
- Garchomp pairs nice because once whimsicott is dead it can clean up most mons with eq...though Dragonite hasn't been a fun matchup. Ntm staraptor is ofc flying so freer eq.
- Ghold deals with most fairy types as this team does have to respect them. Also free fake out switch in
- speaking of fake out, incineroar is self explanatory. Fake out, Intimidate, damage, bulky it's a good typing. Stupid pokemon.
- now I feel like this I need to explain. Zoroark has been putting in incredible work. Under tailwind it easily deals with mega froslass. I'm considering shadow ball over bitter malice but I enjoy controlling the attack of problematic physical attackers. Also finding its best to disguise them as either Ghold if you are trying to trick a ghost type or garchomp if you want to get them to fake out.
This is my take and I am newer to vgc or rather haven't played in ages. There are probably more optimal mons and spreads and that's mostly what I wanna check for. If you all wouldn't mind rating and giving some pointers id appreciate it.

Mega Mawile Trick Room Build Discussion

I love Mega Mawile, believe she's currently the best hard trick room carry. With screen extension in the game I also think hard trick room has a chance now even against zard spam. Open to suggestions and critique

Team explanation:
Grimmsnarl is really good at slowing down hyper offence teams, taunt is mainly there to counter the annoying scaraptor and stop its healing
Milotic was a late edition, initially had Goldengo there but he struggled a bit into zard slop/intimidate spam, and there's a looootta intimidate going around you're basically throwing if you don't have a defiant user
Aromatisse is just my fav trick room setter, can be swapped with the the giraffe or the monkey, your preference really
Surprisingly I found I rarely bought the sinistcha and mostly felt bad when I did bring him (besides the few games the gacha goes crazy) so considering swapping it out. Aromatisse really does bring enough healing most of the time

Gengar-Staraptor Team Build Advice

https://pokepast.es/fa13d89d2435dee8

When looking for a mon to beat starapator I found gengar, and decided to build a team around it and staraptor (Scrafty would be my other choice since it has better synergy with gengar overall but until the hype around staraptor dies down its a bit difficult to use especially since I like using incin)

The team is rly solid and works well overall but there are 3 things bugging me.

For one I have 2 dark types and 2 ghost types, and I don't like having more than 1 repeating type on my teams, the fact that both my megas are weak to psychic is annoying but dealable since gengar can also hit psychic for super effective, more importantly the fact that I have 4 physical attackers and 2 special attackers bugs me a hell lot.

The only real reason I have sinistcha rn is bcause it completes the fire grass water trio that was rly strong on my old team, but I could see replacing it with farig.

Out of incin and grimmsnarl I prefer incin bcause I rly like using taunt incin, but Idk what I'd replace grimmsnarl with.

Araquanid can be replaced with say primarina but I rly like wide gaurd so idk

Staraptor + Mega Steelix Team Idea

The thought is to switch to ateelix as my mega in a pikachu or other unfavorable matchup.
