Strategies:
Tyranitar has Sand Stream to boost defenses + Armor making him my usual tank. If there is a fighting type i switch into my Delta Charizard, Mega it, getting rid of the sandstorm and confuse that fighting type, as it probably has a high attack stat.

Tyranitar activates Sand Stream and i may switch into Excadrill, who has a low speed stat, to activate sand rush and start sweeping.

When up against a Pokemon who cant do much against my Delta Gardevoir, i start to Calm Mind and use livewire. From there, I primarily use Frost Breath.

After i send out my Delta Charizard, i may switch into my Excadrill and spam shadow claw. When up against a normal type, i resist.

Azumarill and Charizard are just brute force pokemon, and i can always rely on them.

I am in the process of training my Excadrill to be even levelled with my team, and when the update comes, i will train them to level 100.

If you leave suggestions, please note that i do not want any repeating types and i don’t have a huge array of items or TMs. I am also doing a Nuzlocke.

I will take any tips and acknowledge them all!
Thanks!

Tfw we have the exact same team except for two pokemon

You have three pokemon weak to ground, two weak to rock (one of them harshly weak to rock), three weak to fighting, and three weak to water.

Delta Charizard’s noctem doesn’t have many pokemon that benefit from it… Give it a different item. Instead use ttar and excadrill together. However, if you like Delta Charizard a lot, then make sure to give excadrill hone claws. Under noctem it becomes an OP version of swords dance.

Maybe replace Delta Gardevoir with mega stunfisk. You’ll be able to take out rock types and water types, yet still have livewire and a ton of special attack.

As far as movesets go, you’re pretty good. However use flamethrower not heat wave on charizard and focus blast instead of hyper beam. For ttar, you’re using the armor so you want moves like stealth rock and roar. For azumarill, use choice band not expert belt. For excadrill, use hone claws if using noctem, otherwise teach it the custom rock move.

Thanks! this helps alot. However, Both my Deltas are extremely valuable, and if given the perfect condition, can sweep the rest of the battle. I was thinking about changing Azumarill’s custom move to Ground as it can take care of Steel, Poison, and Electric type weaknesses. I haven’t looked into an item supply but now that i’ve beaten the game i might do so. However, i do think that Azumarill’s valuable array of type coverage earns it the expert belt, but i’ll test some strategies out with both before deciding. As i’m sure everyone knows, Focus Blast usually always misses, so I probably wont be changing that out any time soon. In many playthroughs that i have had with Charizard, i usually always get myself in a pickle where the next move i use is my fate, so i stick with Hyper Beam for that recharge turn that always saves me. About Charizard’s Flamethrower, i decided to go with Heat Wave for the plenty of double battles that happen in the story, and it especially helped me with the Dragon Ruins fight, and i may change it depending on the future of the story. I also did a bit of research on Delta Charizard and might change Dragon Pulse to Dragon Breath, as it is barely useful for type advantages and i may need that 30% paralysis chance. I do agree with your Hone Claws advice, which i never even thought of and blew my mind. As for Tyranitar’s Stealth rock, i was thinking about that until i discovered Draco Jet, which i find to be extremely handy with aerial ace for foolproof attacks.

All of your advice was extremely helpful and i will be sure to use it ingame. Thanks again!
