Literal first time ever building a team, be brutally honest

This is mostly a trick room team where I set up with espeon and incin and then switch steelix in to be annoying and spam rock slide and head smash. It does have tailwind stuff that I can use if steelix's natural lifespan looks to be less than 1 turn but I dont use it that often 🥀

I picked steelix for the good bulk, kingambit is there because I couldnt figure out who else could work in trick room (and my resources are limited), espeon still has psychic terrain because of some steel roller nonsense I tried earlier but I may change that, not sure to what though..

Fighting types and garchomp with earthquake seem to be a big issue for this team especially if I get read on the opening so I'd love some advice on that.

Steelix is specially bulky because gardevoir and other sp. attackers were a big issue before despite light screen midigating the damage. Espeon is built for defense because it can't live despite it's best attempts (it's really only here because a) it's my favourite eeveelution and b) it has both screens and trick room and I cant think of an alternative).
