- The largest issue here is that your team has 2 weaknesses to Rock AND nothing on your team resists it.
- Scarfed Chandelure doesn't outspeed Landorus-T, who is very common, and that fact alone makes it hard to run with this method of speed control.
- I'm assuming you're using a raw Thundurus that wasn't genned or powersaved which is why you aren't running HP Ice over Focus Blast. Not a bad choice but the accuracy of the move is going to make some matches hell, even to the point where you stop bringing it
- It'd make more sense to give Lando the scarf and give Chandelure a Life Orb. Also Giga Impact is a bad choice since it doesn't pick up many kills and it leaves you stunned for a turn. Go for Superpower, Earth Power, Hidden Power Ice or Stone Edge.
- You generally only need 60 EVs in special attack for what you need to take out with Rotom. Spread the EVs out to give you a better chance against common special attackers like Sylveon, Salamence, Aegislash and Hydreigon
- For a Kangaskhan set like this, it makes more sense to use an Adamant nature, cut back on the Attack and Speed EVs for more bulk and do your thing.
- Mega Gengar doesn't fit on this team at all. A simple Focus Sash Gengar with Hex, Will-o-Wisp, Sludge Bomb and Icy Wind is all you need
- Also you have common weaknesses to Water, Ice and Dark which are also common offensive types used in VGC.
Overall a 6.5/10.
You need to drop some team mates that don't work towards your strategy, EV your Pokemon and have at least two forms of speed control that work for this team. Some of these sets are hit or miss so they may not work all the time meaning you need to have a plan B. The choice of items is weird but not in a good way since Leftovers is for formats with longer turn durations, like Smogon, the Choice Scarf gives Chandelure speed but max EVs has it overshooting what it needs to but not being fast enough to stop faster threats. Razor Fang is impractical since Landorus-T without a Choice Scarf is outsped by Thundurus, Kangaskhan etc. all of which you want to get Rock Slide flinches on.
