This team has no rental code: copy it into Showdown with the PokéPaste.
Tyranitar (Mega) is the team's physical attacker: Jolly with Dragon Dance, Rock Slide and Knock Off behind Protect, at 184 Attack. It needs one free turn to set up, and the rest of the team is built to provide it. It also runs Staraptor (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.
Tyranitar (Mega) sets a sandstorm and Excadrill takes advantage of it.
Sinistcha works as a pivot next to Tyranitar (Mega): Rage Powder redirects; Rocky Helmet punishes contact.
Staraptor (Mega) sets Tailwind so the team moves first. Staraptor (Mega) is the fastest at 143 Speed, followed by Excadrill at 108.
Gholdengo is the Life Orb spread attacker: Make It Rain hits both foes at once. At 104 Speed, it depends on Tailwind being active.
The Fire, Ground and Fighting weaknesses are unresolved: 3 of the six are weak to Fire, 3 of the six are weak to Ground and Tyranitar (Mega) takes 4× from Fighting.
The spreads are the generic 32/32 ones and have not been tuned to specific benchmarks.

We build each spread against the most used Pokémon in the meta and around its teammates: the Speed that pays off most (counting the team's Tailwind or Trick Room) and just enough bulk to survive one or two hits from the threats no other member already handles, with the rest into attack. It's an estimate on the Pokémon Champions scale (0–32 per stat, 66 in total), because players don't publish their real spreads.
