Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Here's the team I was using, and by using I mean losing most of my games with.
Either this team's got a lot of exploitable weaknesses, or I'm just bad at playing this game.
I also could've sworn I had Cross Chop on that Incineroar. I don't know why it has Outrage.
I do have a bunch of battle-ready Tapus, UBs, and a Garchomp, incidentally. I just blanked and forgot to add any of them to my team before locking it in.
I know, I need to just relax and take a deep breath. No sense making a nuisance of myself.
It's just really annoying to know how your team's flawed, but due to the lock you can't do anything about it.
Like, my team can handle Lunala and Zygarde very well. I'm barely even fighting any Lunalas or Zygardes, though, and instead my team's vulnerability to Ground and being unable to...
Decided to upload battle videos from my wins yesterday. My team's pretty flawed in hindsight, so I count some of these wins as me getting lucky.
K9BW-WWWW-WWW3-XVA2 (Mandibuzz Doesn't Die)
LKTG-WWWW-WWW3-XVA6 (Gigalith 1v3)
UGPW-WWWW-WWW3-XVAF (Base 180 Defense)
XQFW-WWWW-WWW3-XVAZ...
Shouldn't the "S/M OU Banlist" thread say Landorus-Incarnate and not just Landorus?
This is just a nitpick.
(As a side note to anyone who doesn't know, Burnett gives you the Reveal Glass if you talk to her in her lab after completing the second trial.)
I think my team is coming along okay-ish, considering I'm basically a novice at real team-building.

You forgot to factor in sandstorm, since ideally Gigalith will have Sand Stream.
In the sand, even Ash-Greninja isn't guaranteed to OHKO it with Hydro Pump.
252 SpA Ash-Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Gigalith in Sand: 170-204 (88.5 - 106.2%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
My team right now is just Gigalith, Mandibuzz, and Garchomp.
I don't even have a special Pokemon picked yet, and I'm racking my brain trying to make sure I'm ready for all of the special Pokemon.
Lead Gigalith also messes with lead Ninetales-A by overriding the hail with sand, and forcing Ninetales out because it won't want to eat that Stone Edge. (Even if it did stay in, its Blizzard would be at best a 3HKO if it actually landed 3 times.)

So far, I've had no luck getting a decent Celesteela, so I'm not sure how else I can round out a team for Singles.
I have a (Mega) Gyarados and Marowak-A so far, which I hear go together pretty well. I can see why, since they seem to cover each other's weaknesses very well.

Working on overhauling my own Singles team, and I have 3 members so far.
