Building a Competitive Rain Team | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Hi! So I've put this team together, I've been experimenting with a lot of things but I still haven't decided on a final version and I'm out of ideas on what to do next.
It's a rain team, but it's not 100% hard rain; that's why the use of Politoed, is more of a standalone Pokémon than Pelipper's support.
Work well with Golisopod!
So I don't know if you see anything that should be changed in the current Pokémon, if I should really succumb to adding Archaludon, or if you have other ideas.

I am looking to keep gardevoir on the team as well as Araquanid to a lesser extent just do to favouritism so any swaps I can make to make those two work would be greatly apriciated!!

Master the Milotic, Rilla, and Volc Core | VGC Strategy

This core is very strong because the 3 other Pokemon can be changed out

Rilla enables Volc and Milotic helps keep the team alive

My first attempt on this team had Milotic be more bulkier with Coil, Hypnosis, Muddywater/Scald, and Life Dew

I also had screens but no weather.

You can easily change out Basc for Zard Y + Whim set

Gholdengo is built to be able to outspeed Zard Y and OKHO it, you can switch out thunderbolt for PowerGem, and Focus Blast is there to OKHO Arch’s if you have no way out.

Optimizing Froslass VGC Teams | Pokémon Champions

https://pokepast.es/e3a8abd65ef20e5a
I'm looking for something to fill the 6th slot, OG team used HArc but I don't have it so I was looking to slap Incin on it, someone told me to slap Scarf'd Basc-M on it to cover for fire, could be up to replace Froslass if it is too finnicky to build around it, was also considering adding a sand mode with Ttar+Exca.

Gholdengo vs. Kingambit: VGC Team Building Advice

I've been using this team for a bit and I really like it. It's got two cores, great support with the fake out bros that simultaneously have offensive pressure, tailwind on mence for speed control and all that. But I'm not sure if Gholdengo would be better for this team or Kingambit. Whoever is better please let me know who and WHY. https://pokepast.es/78071399eb8877b9
