Singles or doubles?
No matter what you're probably best off using fake out, garchomp, and basculegion.
Trick room mimikyu and crabominable with garchomp, basculegion, fake out raichu, and miltoic is a fun start
Offensive tailwind could also do good. Rage powder tailwind volcarona, mega raichu Y/mega dragonite, ceruledge, garchomp, basculegion, and hisui Zoroark could be fun too.
Messing around with the limited tailwind setters, trick room, and fake out pressure along with slotting your meta pokemon (garchomp and basculegion, kinda milotic) will be key.
Hisui Zoroark is also a great wildcard to mess about with ceruledge and basculegion.
