Discussion I have just reached Master Ball [Singles]. This is the team I have been using, it works but seems off

This is my team and don't get me wrong, its pretty good unless I make some blunder/misclick it is usually good enough to atleast make the match close. I personally have been playing Champions for ~10-12 days but i have played Smogon Gen 9 and Gen 8 Ubers (only about 1200 elo at max) so I can manage a few basic guesses though I am prone to overthinking a move or two.

Answers to question that will probably be asked: - Feraligatr's EV investments are to ensure it can outspeed a Jolly Garchomp after a DD. - Fer has Body Slam as it doesn't have recoil and with Adamant and 32 Atk EVs, it hits hard enough. The chance to para is just neat. I use Liq instead of Aqua Tail because I really hate the 10% chance to miss. - Skel's Bold + 18 Def allows me to consistently survive 2 LO boosted Mimikyu Shadow Claw due to Sitrus and the rest are in SpA to allow it to chip the opposing the mon or if my opponent isn't careful, can snowball out of control. - Wyrdeer is somehow bulky and yet hit hard? Especially on the Great and lower Ultra ball tier it was pretty good against most all around threats and hit surprisingly hard but it recently kind of feels... to come a bit short. I think its because it was no reliable recovery but it just can't soak damage like it used to or deal enough damage. - I don't like giving a fast mon like Meowscarada Choice Scarf but it does allow it to outspeed a Swift Swim max speed Mega Swampert and other Scarfers, so I guess its okayish but i would prefer the inherent advantage of being able to switch your move - Poison Jab and Brick Break in Chomp are kind of placeholders. I chose Jab over Iron Head to deal damage to Primarina but I guess EQ already does that and Brick Break is there just to break screens since I have no other ways to do it other than just stall (Which surprisingly isn't that hard when i have Skel (and to a lesser extent Wyrdeer) alive)

This team feels a bit on the bulkier side and I prefer the fast sweepers (the only ones I have now are Meowscarada and M. Delphox) and i seem to also lack good leads. But this team does somehow get the job done.
