Hi! I've been getting mixed results with this team in Casuals. Recently I switched out Flutter Mane for Walking Wake to see how it went, and even though it didn't do bad, I do fear that against Shadow Rider Calyrex, I don't have much coverage. I know for a fact that some of the usual VGC mons like Tornadus and Incineroar could be quite helpful in a Harsh Sunlight team, but unfortunately, Scarlet and Violet are my only switch games, and I haven't been able to get an Incineroar with Gen 8's moveset or any of the Legends Arceus legendaries.
I based the team around Chlorophyll Venusaur since it's one of my favorite starters and I wanted to experiment a bit with him. Let me know what you think I could do to make it better:

I've tried using Clefairy with Eviolite as a support a couple of times and it worked out pretty well, but in some matches, I felt like I was lacking a bit of offensive power. I wish Whismsicott would be a bit more bulky but I've noticed that Tailwind plays a huge role when dealing with other Sun teams. Let me know what you think I could do to make it better! Also, I'm very new to EV training so I tend to just max out the stats I need the most from each Pokemon, but if you've got any pointers on EV distribution, I'd really appreciate it.
