Having Discharge, Volt Switch and Thunderbolt doesn't give much coverage.
Dazzling gleam will only do 25% of the damage, and with low-base power
" Moves that can hit multiple Pokémon have their damage reduced by 25%, unless there is only one target at the time the move is executed." ~ Bulbipedia
Your team also seems weak to Trick Room, Tapu Koko and Nihilego with a 4x weakness to Ground moves, though as long as you get the Taunt up, you look fine.
Another problem is that most people who have a Pelipper and a pokemon with Swift Swim, they will more often then not lead with a Pelipper and get the Tailwind, so it's very predictable
You need a slow, bulky Pokemon like Gigalith or Mudsdale, they are very slow and useful in trick room
I did the damage calculations and these are the results ~
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 270-320 (75.6 - 89.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
This means you will 2HKO a BLANK Garchomp
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Arcanine in Electric Terrain: 628-739 (378.3 - 445.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
You will OHKO a VGC 2017 252 AtK, 252 Spe under Electric Terrain
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 244 HP / 76+ SpD Arcanine in Electric Terrain: 519-612 (264.7 - 312.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
You will also kill the VGC 2017 244 HP, 188 Def, 76 Def.
again, im no expert at battling so its probably inaccurate..
