This is a team based around the core of Tapu lele and Pheremosa, The two together have great offensive synergy as Pheremosa can break past steels for lele whilst lele provides psyhchic terrarin for Pheremosa making it immune to priority moves.
Firstly I started off with Tapu lele, Tapu lele serves as my revenge killer and a potential late game cleaner, with the addition of choice Scarf Lele outspeeds some of VGC's fastest pokemon from Pheremosa, Tapu koko and Kartana. As well as being very fast Tapu lele also hits very hard and provides psyhchic terrarin to nulify priority moves.
Edit:
Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 28 HP / 60 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 164 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hidden Power Fire
Relevant Calculations:
252+ SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Garchomp: 204-240 (111.4-131.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Garchomp Poison Jab vs. 28 HP / 60 Def Tapu Lele: 108-128 (72.4 - 85.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 28 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Lele in Electric Terrain: 109-130 (73.1 - 87.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Next I added Pheremosa to complete the Lele Pheremosa core, Pheremosa is the fastest mon in Vgc outside of choice Scarf mons, It also hits ridiculously hard with it's stabs.
Pheremosa also supports Tapu lele by being able to break past steels types and it appreciates Lele's psyhchic terrarin as it is very fraill

With these two being very fast I concluded that trick room teams may become a problem so I decided to add Snorlax!
Snorlax appreciates all the damage coming from Pheremosa and Lele as late game it becomes easy for it wall mons and dish out huge damage after a belly drum.

In conclusion, I think this is a pretty good team, but I think it needs some fine tweaking and some one else's view on the team, as I'm somewhat new to VGC and may of not taken cerain things into consideration.
Thanks in advance ^_^
