Is this really "Anti Meta" ?

Is this really "Anti Meta" ?

The most common cores are a combination of Kingambit, Basculegion, Charizard Y, Sneasler and Garchomp, so I tried to build a core that can deal specifically with those cores.

What do you think? Is this really good against the meta cores? What should I add?

Extra info:

Mega aerodactil deals with Sneasler and Charizard Y.

Samurot counters Basculegion, and outspeeds it if thet don't run scarf. Also threatens Kingambit and Charizard.

Mamoswine outspeed and OHKO no scarf Garchomp. Also survives Earthquake. Outspeeds max speed Sneasler (without active unburden), threatens Kingambit and survives Charizard with Thick Fat. Also good if they have Aerodactil

Rotom Heat OHKO Kingambit, good agains Charizard Y, and can threaten Basculegion.

I also consideres Charizard X, instead of Rotom. For the other two mons, I was thinking Mega Venusaur (vs fairy and water mons) + some support

Best VGC app?

I've been trying to find the best app for teambuilding, do calcs and sharing the team. I've tested:

- Pikalitycs

- Pokebase

- Pokesynergy

- Showdown (only sharing the team)

- Pokepaste (only sharing the team)

And I still can't decide which is better. Are there any all-in-one better options?

Problems I have with each one:

- Pikalitycs: I would like a simpler calculator. Their classic calculator is too deep for quick team choices.

- Pokebase: some pokemon don't have all the moves, and for some reason (I assume they use different databases?) there are much less tournament teams.

- Pokesynergy: new apps, looks promising. No image export and now teams for now.

- Showdown: I have only uses it to show team images. Seems perfect for that. Can I also do calcs and teambuild in showdown?

- Pokepaste: for some reason, column mode does nothing (check image)

Kangaskhan + M-Hawlucha

Hi! First team made. Champions is my first try playing competitive pokemon in general (but I have played a lot of nuzlocke), and while I struggle with team building, I was able to made it to Masterball Rank 2 using other players teams. Hoping this team could achieve similar results.

I'm very interested in creating a Last Resort Kangaskhan team. Do you see any flaw or way to improve it? The most difficult part for me is choosing EV and items.

My thoughts were: Khan will struggle vs fight, steel and rock mons. Best way to fight those? Fight + Fly, so Mega Hawlucha seem perfect! He can Brave Bird or Close Combat the mons Khan struggles against, or boost his atk and def with coaching.

But I didn't want the team to be just "one trick", so in case Khan is not a good mon vs the opponent, I can bring Excadrill + Hawlucha, to OHK with fissure and the speed advantage from Tyranitars sand weather.

Because I rely a lot on Khan or Excadrill, and my team is pretty slow, I include Sinitcha for survivability + trick room. I also include Rotom Wash, because it pairs nice with earthquake from Excadrill, can help me deal with Charizad - Y, a bit of speed control with electroweb, or burning kingambits.

P.D. Sorry for the images. Idk why the pokepaste column mode doesn't work, and Pikalitycs is not very easy to see. I appreciate any suggestion
