From what I've seen in the battle videos, it is pretty clear that this team has flaws because a lot of misplays were made by the opponent which resulted in you winning.
To be honest, this isn't a bulky team, it's just a team of Pokemon that very rarely get OHKOd and can hit hard which isn't bulking, it is more of tanking. Bulk has to do with being able to simultaneously regaining HP while bringing adequate offensive pressure or just having ridiculous defenses that make attacks do very little damage which isn't what I'm seeing in these replays which is confusing.
This team doesn't look like it has 1 objective but rather 6 of them.
Metagross is just there to do small chunks of damage and then get busted open by Dark, Fire, Ground and Ghost types, Machamp pulls of his niche but is disrupted if the opponent manages to outspeed or resist Machamp and cripple it, Sylveon is trying to score kills but fails to do so for it isn't attacking at full power allowing threats such as Steel types and hyper offensive physical attackers to snap its neck, Porygon2 sits there using attacks and recovering HP but quivers if a Fighting type comes in its path or its Eviolite gets knocked off, Cofagrigus is just there and Goodra comes across as a last minute addition to the team.
The team doesn't have a solid gimmick working around it. If any team such as a Tailwind or Weather team came in, you would lose unless you prevailed through hax. There needs to be some form of speed control, taunting, diverting of attacks, counters to common threats or what threatens your team, SOMETHING!
I see where you have used Trick Room as a form of speed control but you haven't IVd or EVd your Pokemon to acclimatize to it. Trick Room requires dedication of the entire team.
Bottom line, get one more Trick Room setter and find a new mega or drop Trick Room all together, make your sets towards more team synergy, consider the various threats against your idea and find counters to them and do not fall victim to the practice of throwing 6 random Pokemon together and calling it a team
