Rate My Team - Mawile/Ampharos Hard Trick Room - Did I cook or will I get cooked?

https://pokepast.es/c8627785efd0d0c2

Hey all, looking for some help building my first team. This is the first time I've tried using something that I didn't just rip from a Cybertron video, so I am open to any and all suggestions. As you can see the EVs are all max/max, please let me know if there are any well-known spreads out there that I should swap in. As you'll read below, I am very unsure about Ampharos and especially Kommo-o so I'd love to hear any suggestions that would better cover the main core's weaknesses. The rain matchup in particular can feel a little dicey.

Team idea

This is a hard trick room team mainly intended to feature Mega Mawile. It has two trick room setters in the giraffe and the matcha, two trick room sweepers in Mawile and the turtle, and two situational coverage additions in Kommo-o and Fabio. There is absolutely no fast mode here, it is trick room or bust. The ideal game plan here is to lead Farig and either sweeper with Sinny and the other sweeper in the back.

Team Description

Mawile - The main sweeper. Excellent defensive typing, big damage, and priority with sucker punch, pretty much the standard set.

Torkoal - The secondary sweeper/weather answer. Love the turtle, added solar beam for rain teams. Omitted heat wave cuz i'd rather not deal with the inaccuracy.

Farig - The absolute goat. You already know what this guy's up to. Added sunny day over helping hand to catch rain teams off guard.

Sinitscha - Secondary TR setter and the ideal mid-game option to play protect the king with either sweeper. Pretty much the standard set.

Kommo-o - Here's where I got a little funky, and I'm not sure if it's in a good way. It caught my eye because it has excellent defensive type synergy with Mawile. I threw on Aura Sphere for coverage, but it's still feeling a little clunky and just can't output a ton of damage. I originally had Garchomp here, but it just feels rough to use it in TR.

Ampharos - Here's where I really lost the plot. I knew I needed a mega to bring against Zard because Mawile just ain't it in that matchup. Ampharos gets a guaranteed OHKO against moderately bulky Zard with Power Gem and can also OHKO Chomp with Dragon Pulse. It never comes to the match unless I see a Zard.

Mystery liquid accumulated in kitchen cupboard

Images/video

Came home after being gone for three days and found this mysterious and unpleasant liquid pooled up my kitchen cabinet. It has a definite odor, not overly offensive but not the kind of scent you’d want in your house.

I can’t find the source of the leak(assuming it is one?). The area around the spinning plastic bit is completely dry. This cupboard is about a foot away from the sink and a yard away from the oven.

Thanks for your help, wanna get this taken care of asap so my fiance doesn’t have to see it lol. We are in a pre-war NYC apartment if that helps.
