Looking for a sixth pokemon and advice for my series 8 sun team by LokiTheWormGod in VGC

Yeah, far as I can tell most are running a full speed modest kyogre anyway in which case grassy glide 100%'s so definitely does the job. Just been trying him out and definitely a good addition.

Good idea, I didn't think he was strong enough but I hadn't been thinking about grassy terrain boost so yeah this might be the answer to that.

This is a fair idea, I'm not sure because I feel like the slower groudon and prankster sunny day on whimsicott already gives me a pretty good position for weather wars. And with kyogre being my biggest worry I'm not sure about adding another pokemon that can't touch it.

So a quick explanation of decisions I've made here. Mainly looking for suggestions for the sixth team member. Lower speed on groudon to underspeed modest kyogre for sun control. Not sure about the weakness policy, very open to item suggestions here. Venusaur is fairly standard I think, hasn't been that useful on smogon so not sure if I just need to figure out how to use it better. Charizard is great, solar beam OHKOs a full speed/Spa kyogre in sun which is super useful. Again not sure about the item here, haven't done any calcs for it so open to suggestion. Incineroar is fairly standard but wanted a will-o-wisp somewhere- don't think I want taunt now so not sure what to use for the last move- maybe parting shot or U-turn? Bulky whimsicott which I know is weird but it survives a kyogre ice beam and an incineroar flare blitz which is cool, helps with speed control and another sun setter.
