Finally got round to completing my first competitive team of Gen 8. Been in the works for a good month or two, so likely already out of date with the current meta. But still going to try it out, hopefully will only require a few tweaks going forward.
Went for a Sand themed team, with Excadrill and Gastrodon as my main leads. Love the synergy between these two, with Storm Drain protecting Excadrill who will Gigamax early and give Gastrodon a nice couple of SpDef boosts with Max Quake. Had some nice early success with that in my first couple of battles last night. Got a Tyranitar with Sand Stream to support Excadrill too when it needs a Spd boost. Went with Gyarados as a secondary attacker, and rounded things out with Togekiss, who seems to be everywhere at the moment. Little undecided on the final member. I've got Dragapult, Duraldon and Darmanitan all trained up, so will see how my initial battles using the team go, then take either one of those, or someone new, to plug the weak spots
