(Skill Improvement) Please help me help my AuDHD Girlfriend get into Competitive Pokemon

Hey there! Been a big fan of Competitive Pokemon and VGC for a while. Now with the release of Champions I was finally able to actually participate without having to spend days or even weeks on a team.

Now my Girlfriend also really likes Pokemon, however she wasnt able to play the Games as a child as I did, so she really doesnt know all the types or moves as much as she probably would like due to nearly all of these mons being VERY unfamiliar to her.

Due to her AuDHD she also has a really hard time just playing and learning by Trial and Error, and even though I tried to build multiple teams for her, most werent strong enough or too difficult to pilot. Now here comes my question, I asked her, about her favorite Pokemon and I need some BIG help to get a Team built for her, that is fun to play, not too difficult to pilot and allows her to learn about the other Mons at a more comfortable Pace.

Here is the list of Pokemon she really loves from the current Regulation. The Team doesnt have to be 6 pokemon of this list, but the more, the merrier.

Any and all Help is really appreciated, I just wanna support her to enjoy this a bit more and not worry too much about the big learning wall that usually comes from getting into this Game.

(Rate My Team) My Magnum Opus so far, but I still cant get out of Ultra Ball Tier. Anything that I need to fix?

https://pokepast.es/0656d412aa678da9

Alternate Set in the Pokepaste.

I build this Team around a week ago, and so far its the best one I was able to build. However I still dont seem to be able to really get it to click with the current Meta.

Ninetales and Milotic are the most common Lead, setting up Aurora and if possible doing Blizzard Spam to weaken / kill the first mons. Freeze Dry deals amazingly with Pelipper and allows me to often disable Rain and Archaludon Teams.

M-Glimmora seems to be a really underrated and gives many options for cheeky KOs. And well Sinistcha is a good Supporter, specifically built to tank Pelipper Hurricane in nearly every Circumstance (Except Crit and like a 1/4 chance to get OHKO from Modest Pelipper but so far that didnt happen luckily)

The other two mons are very exchangeable but so far I had the best Experience with Conkeldurr and Froslass as Secondary Mega (They arent in the original screenshot because I was experimenting and forgot to take a Pic of the Current Team, so its in the Paste.

However I seem to still be unable to get the needed Kills for Climbing the Ranks and I really refuse to use an basic Meta Team, cuz I want some Individuality. Any Help or advice would really be appreciated!

(Rate My Team) Im building a Team for my GF and I really want Expanding Force M-Delphox to work for her, but I feel like im missing something to let it all click together. Please help me

https://pokepast.es/f7194a14eef353ea

Basically as said above, Im failing to find a good way to make the Delphox and Farigiraf Core click with the current Meta. Currently Ultra Ball 2 but like 2 W and 9 Losses or so, no matter what I swap

Any Ideas how I can fix that Team for my Gf?

Thanks in advance!
