Team Idea/Team Description

Alright, going to try and keep it simple. I think I am following all the rules anyway.

Long story short, wanted to try my hand at making my own version of a Trick Room team. With what I think is basically standard Torkoal and Oranguru. To fill out the slots and add some coverage, I added some mons I don't see often hoping to utilize them to cover a lot of weaknesses.

Milotic - Solid Water Type, Recovery, Ice type coverage, holding Mystic Water (Might swap with Never-Melt...but this is what it is right now.) Only problem is it kind of overlaps with....

Corviknight - Steel coverage, has a lot of sustain, Body Press/Iron Defense combo, sounded fun. Overlaps with Milotic though in terms of being an annoying recovery mon.

As for my Megas:

Drampa - Dragon/Normal is interesting, Strong Special Attacker, has good coverage.

Victreebel - Grass/Poison Type, max Attack, hoping it is strong enough to deal with problematic Fairies and Water types in Trick Room.

The two main problems I have is One: Obviously very trick room coded and easily predictable. Not sure how to play around the easy predicts. I was thinking of adding a super fast mon alongside Oranguru to try to OHKO something before trick room. Not sure what to add and replace - maybe Basc over Milo? Idk if Basc gets any great coverage, though.

Two: If I can't get TR up, this team suffers severely. How can I edit the team to ensure it at least has a fighting chance without TR?

Two main things I am looking for: Either viable, useful versions of the Pokemon I am currently running, or suggestions that aren't necessarily Meta. I get Meta Pokemon are Meta for a reason, but I am trying to find fun with using less-used mons. I'm already in masterball, and have two different teams to climb with - this team is more for fun and just to use.
