Nothing in the world can be more annoying than Aloe Vera Pupper in this year's format especially a max speed variant. The way how Arcanine supports the team by allowing Celesteela and Gastrodon to tank more hits is nearly poetic.
Gastrodon is pretty good this year, however, the lack of Earth Power does reduce its offensive impact by a good margin which is why I don't see it being used until later in the season around Nats. For a stall oriented team like this, is there any reason as to why you didn't run Recover over Protect? Your team has about 3 switch ins for Grass moves and strong Physical attackers so I'm lost there
For Tapu Bulu, I would forgo the Swords Dance set for a more bulky set that carries Leech Seed and Horn Leech to keep it around longer. Trust me the Intimidate/Snarl support alongside the passive recovery Tapu Bulu gets would make it stay around longer and stall out the opponent
Aside from Arcanine, this team looks like Celesteela can wall it out late game if played properly as well
Really loving the defensive synergy on this team and it appears to have adequate responses for most stall mirror matchups
