Introduction
Hey guys! I've been lurking for a while and decided to really try and get into playing VGC format more competitively. I put together this team and played with it for a few weeks now. It seems to work decently, but something is definitely off. I can't quite pin down what the problem is. Also, as a big fan of grass pokemon like Tsareena, its definitely a plus if she stays (but DEFINITELY LET ME KNOW if she really has to go).

Conclusion
Thanks for taking a look at my team. From what I can tell, the lack of typing spread (i.e. three psychic 'mons and both Megas being steel) seem to hurt it when it comes to certain checks. Any suggestions on how to fix this, as well as whatever other problems you might have spotted with this team, are much appreciated.
