Balance Yaichu and Yard double Mega Team with Meowscarada
i recommend grass knot instead of fake out because raichu is pretty fragile so if you fake out one pokemon the other might kill you
grass know gives coverage for swapert
*knot
The team also runs a secondary Yard mode for when Raichu can't come Ie: Metagross or Floette(Yard will do more damage and resist fairy damage) Meowscarada threatens Gholdengo and pretty much trivializes the rain matchup if in right position, the sun Yard matchup is very playable and the team isn't weakened by it. With Ninetales you're also threatening Mega Sceptile after a tailwind, Basculegion is here for the Delphox matchup.
It's overally pretty synergetic imo if a bit off the curve.
If you're going to use it though feel free to make changes to it
