SS RU Hazard Resistant Team

I've been playing on the ladder with the following team, and while I like it because of its ability to pivot around a ton (especially with with a lot of the mons on my team not caring about hazards), I also struggle against certain bulky mons that I can't break through (namely Curse Snorlax and Umbreon). What kind of edits would you suggest I do to improve my team?

I don't think I can give an explanation for each of the individual mons, I focused on having solid type diversity, as well as the ability to answer as many things as possible. I also built this team when Reuniclus was being suspected, so I thought that having solid answers to it was essential, but I haven't really seen it much in battles. I'm starting to think that a Fighting type would be useful for this team, how do I go from here?

Edit: Also, if I were to describe this team to others, what kind of archetype would this team fit under (offensive, bulky, etc)?

Hi, welcome to Smogon! I am locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least three lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this.
