ive been using this slightly modified version of cress ho and had quite a good amount success with it (feel free to suggest changes)
https://pokepast.es/430fde3266f3edf2
KINGAMBIT(sucker punch, swords dance, kowtow cleave and iron head)- the priority attacker mainly used as the last resort, sometimes sent before the climax of a game
IRON VALIANT(moonblast, calm mind, thunderbolt and psyshock) -the main special sweeper, originally it had moonblast close combat encore and destiny bond, however that rarely worked for me tbh and I've been having more success with it
CRESSELIA (Calm Mind, Stored Power, Moonblast, Moonlight)- the defensive special attacker, can be used to stall and as a decent attacker with calm mind
HISUIAN SAMUROTT (Ceasless edge, razor shell, aqua jet and sacred sword) - the set up lead, sets up spikes while also attacking, the rest of the moves are just in case a pokemon needs to be killed quickly
GREAT TUSK (bulk up, ice spinner, headlong rush and close combat), the main psychical sweeper, protosythensis with booster energy acts boost its speed so it can actually sweep, either way boost ice spinners and close combats are no laughing matter (on an unrelated note, please don’t use headlong rush on ursaluna)
MAGNEZONE (iron defense, body press, protect and discharge) i know this sounds silly but let me explain, iron defense allows the zone to boost its 267 defense up to a maxmium of 1064, allowing ti actually survive non special ground type attacks, it then uses body press kill most pokemon except really bulky mons or ghost types, ghost types like gholdengo can be handled with discharge, as it can potential paralysis them, tera fighting helps it survive special ground type attacks and hit harder with body press, analytic is mainly used to boost attack by 30%, but magnet pull can be useful for setting up on the rare trappable steel type
I hope this helps you understand this team better, have good one yall

but throughout the match, tusk is going to get chipped down way too much especially because you are running booster offensive tusk. I think a more bulky tusk would better fit your team. I would say to run four attacks because it suits the faster pace of the metagame and you already have hazards from 
. I gave you a Tusk with a 
but you can run 
too. I feel like Helmet is better because most of the time both tusks will knock each other and its also good for punishing u-turns.
is not really doing much for your team. Its not trapping things like 
for 
. I think it would be much better as a Trapper (in magnet pull) or just swap the mon out. I would suggest to swap it out. Something like 
would be nice to add more of a defensive side of your team. You could also go for 
for a way better Iron Def sweeper. The problem is that you currently have no fairy resist besides tera. Using Zamazenta really opens up your team to teams that have fairies. Adding Slowking-Galar (as a pivot) would be much better on a defensive standpoint. Both are standard sets, but I chose tera electric over steel as 
is really common and you can use it for setup fodder.
from getting their hazards up. To be honest, I think you should just switch Samurott's set from sash to SD or 
. BO doesn't really like sacking a mon for a few layer of hazards up which you have nothing to keep them up.
on 
for 
for Encore or Shadow Ball. They shouldn't be setting up on you in the first place, you should be attacking and also Encore covers setup moves already. Shadow Ball is just more coverage.
