im gonna have to go with core 1 and core 6. M-Pinsir is the biggest problem for this team hands down. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen7ou-293949 as you can see the team has no clear way to handle M-Pinsir
Keldeo? dies to +2 Quick Attack. Latios? Dies to +2 Quick Attack after prior damage. Magnezone? Dies to +2 Close Combat. Tangrowth? Tangrowth just dies. Lando-T? the Lando-T is offensive so it can't even take +1 return
+1 252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir-Mega Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Landorus-Therian: 370-436 (115.9 - 136.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
My point is M-Pinsir has a lot of opportunities to set up. And the person you're facing has to fear set up at all times so you can take advantage and play smart by for example staying in on a draco from Latios and predict a switch out because you're opponent always has to fear M-Pinsir because it can always get some free kills if it wanted. You can even kill certain members of your choice if you wanted... such as Latios because -2 Draco is not killing and you kill it back with return
-2 252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Pinsir-Mega: 172-204 (63.4 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Weavile and Magearna tie in my opinion for the second biggest threat
