I created this anti-meta team like Charizard Y with Sunny Day or Mega Swampert with Rain too. I finished it against Aerodactyl, but I wanted to know if you have any recommendations.

- Kingambit: Foul Play → Kowtow Cleave
With Black Glasses, Supreme Overlord, and max Attack, Kingambit should be using its own Attack stat. Kowtow Cleave is much better for consistent Dark damage, while Sucker Punch stays for late-game priority. - Incineroar: Eruption → Flare Blitz
Incineroar should not be using a special Fire move. Flare Blitz gives it proper physical Fire pressure and makes it much better into Steels, Grass-types, Aegislash, and Kingambit mirrors. - Incineroar: Protect → Parting Shot
This team wants positioning more than it wants Incineroar sitting still. Parting Shot lets you cycle Intimidate, weaken threats, and bring Gengar, Kingambit, Rotom, or Aegislash in safely. - Aegislash: move the Attack investment into Sp. Atk
The set is Shadow Ball / Flash Cannon / King’s Shield / Wide Guard, so the Attack points are wasted. It should be built as a bulky special attacker, not mixed for no reason. - Rotom-Wash: Thunder → Thunderbolt
Thunder is nice into rain, but this team is also trying to beat Charizard-Y sun. In sun, Thunder becomes unreliable. Thunderbolt is the better all-around anti-meta option because it works in every weather.
