National Dex Rate and give recommendations for my shadow tag-smeargle team

Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Ability: Moody
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sticky Web
- Spore
- Shell Smash
- Baton Pass

I wanted to make a team around Smeargle. Sticky web is there to slow the speed of the opposing team and aid Groudon in wallbreaking opportunuties. Spore to sleep. Shell smash and baton pass to give more fire power to Groudon and gengar.

Calyrex-Shadow @ Leftovers
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aromatherapy
- Astral Barrage
- Substitute
- Nasty Plot

Calyrex functions as cleric + set up sweeper.

Gengar-Mega @ Gengarite
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Nasty Plot
- Encore

Gengar simultaneously fill the roles of offensive support, wallbreaker, stallbreaker, and revenge killer. Shadow Ball is the most consistent STAB with few resistances while Sludge wave amost always kills Xerneas. Encore is to stop foes from setting up on it, statusting it or phasing it.


Gothitelle @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Confide
- Taunt
- Rest
- Charm

It works as a PP staller. Taunt is to stop foes from statusing it or setting up on it. Charm and Confide is to stop weaken foes. Rest and leftovers to keep sure it remains healthy.

Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb
Ability: Desolate Land
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Precipice Blades
- Fire Blast
- Rock Tomb
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Groudon is the principal attacker wallbreaker of the team.

Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Transform

Ditto functions as a revenge killers and to punish set up sweepers.
 
4 SpD on smeargle, not Atk.

Interesting team, o feel you lack coverage, maybe put giga drain/leaf storm/energy Ball over Aromatherapy?

Sticky wens seem skippable. Aside from smeargle itself, your mons are all fast enough they likely won't need the opponent to be -1, except goth who doesn't try to be fast, and smeargle itself. Maybe use king's shield? Going a totally different way, I really like the move topsy-turvy.

Also, it's not just megas here but z-mo es, should you try to use one? Idk it doesn't seem to fit in well. Ditto maybe could go, it copies Webs -1 Spe, and that opens it up to flyers. Unless ofc you copy the flying type.
