No weather, Standard singles team. Feedback appreciated!

Cinderace @ choice band
Blaze
Adamant 252 att 252 sp 4 hp

Pyro ball
Hi jump kick
Gunk shot
U turn

Pretty solid lead, good speed tier to u-turn out and get a priority switch in. Very few things can take a banded pyro ball or hi jump kick, with gunk shot for unresisted coverage. One of my main dynamax candidates.

Gyarados @ wacan berry
Intimidate
Adamant 252 att 252 sp 4 hp

Waterfall
Dragon Dance
Ice fang
Earthquake

Standard DD gyara. nothing flashy here, My main dynamax choice. after 1 or 2 dragon dances and rain from max geyser, this thing sweeps with extreme prejudice.

Hatterene @ assault vest
Magic bounce
Modest 252 HP 252 sp d 4 def

Mystic fire
Aromatherapy
Dazzling gleam
Psychic/Giga drain

Special wall, hazard denial and cleric. Cinderace cannot afford to be paralyzed, neither can gyara, and keeps a burn from neutering him. Solid wall that hits hard as well. Undecided on giga drain or Psychic to punish poison switch ins.

Hydreigon @ choice scarf
Levitate
Modest 252 sp att 252 speed 4 HP

Draco Meteor
Earth power/Flamethrower
Flash cannon
Dark Pulse

Revenge killer, pretty standard stuff. Undecided on earth power or flamethrower for coverage, but flash cannon nails obvious fairy type switch ins pretty hard, dark pulse for secondary reliable stab. Draco meteor is draco meteor.

Ferrothorn @ leftovers
Iron barbs
Relaxed 252 HP 252 def 4 sp def

Stealth rock
Spikes
Power whip/Thunder wave
Gyro ball

Hazard setter and physical wall. Undecided on thunder wave, my team is relatively slow and has no tailwind support so i feel like i need paralysis support, but after 8 gyro balls ferro is essentially death fodder.

Lucario @ choice specs
Inner Focus
Modest 252 sp att 252 speed 4 HP

Aura Sphere
Flash cannon
Shadow ball
Dragon Pulse

Use the momentum generated by cinderace's u-turn to hit something hard on the switch every time. Standard specs luc is standard. Might consider a nasty plot salac berry variant, would probs switch nature to timid, and get rid of dragon pulse for nasty plot, but i honestly feel like this set is more viable.

So, that is my competitive team! Very interested in feedback, as well as suggestions on my undecided criteria. Thanks in advance!

I think you should change Hatterene’s item. AV makes Aromatherapy useless.

Cinderace is fine.

I’d replace IF on Gyarados for Bounce or Stone Edge but it’s still good coverage

Hydreigon & Ferrothorn are fine

I’d replace Lucario for a bulky special sweeper

Any ideas for lucarios replacement? something with fighting stab preferred. I was wondering if i'd be able to run assault vest with aroma therapy, i'll switch it for something better

Kommo-o works and then you could replace Hydreigon

I like hydreigon a lot, what would be a better revenge killer? My hydreigon is one of my favorite pokes on this team, but i know with Kommo-o i have a glaring fairy weak.

Hmm Gengar fills a similar role as a fast special revenge killer
