https://pokepast.es/037ab98b81b62e92 using future sight Lele to force more awkward interactions with future sight Slowbro answers on stall, rest of the mons are to gain an advantage in the hazard war while ensuring good enough longevity. Alomomola spread lives a variety of strong special attacks from full before retaliating with mirror coat.

I wanted to build with tera fire weavile for a long time and this comp is very convenient timing.
Anyways I'll keep this brief. The idea of this team is to stack hazards to weaken everything to help the attackers sweep.
Tera fire vile is good at luring steels like msciz and ferro to one shot them. Also does well against the likes of skarm and rilla. Encore Waterpon is to give herself free opportunities to set up with sd while they need to switch. That's all and have fun with the team!

Vintage Celetran core + Offensive Zapdos and Fture Port Weavile
This team has a ton of pressure verse fat teams with rocks up, matches up well vs rain and sun, and a very decent match up verses Koko screens. Weavile and Celebi invite in easy targets for modest Tran to start forcing awkward situations for the opponent, Zapdos is often difficult to switch into against this team with the exception of Mega Tyranitar. Mega Tar + Mola is very scary, the best way to deal with it on this team is to wear it down with rocks and keeping up momentum by pivoting but it really makes it harder for fs + weavile to make progress. Eventually try to toxic and get zapdos the oppurtunity to a winning position. Tera ghost heatran lures cc from sneasler and can trap chansey at low hp. There is no setup user on this team so you have to be flexible with your choice of wincon. The team peels for iteself relatively well, Offensive Zap + Weavile I really love and fs Slowbro makes this team a very well versed balanced team with strong synergy. I hope you all give it a shot and enjoy! #CelebiNation

Here's the real team, sorry again :/
https://pokepast.es/78271df633bb085a
Banded weavile + mega mawile
This team is designed to obtain a lead in the early turns of the match by using advantageous matchups against most of the popular “suicide” leads around. Ninetales-Alola, koko and grimmsnarl, the tier’s most popular screen setters can not threaten mega mawile and will not get their screens up against brick break. The popular webs setters such as ribombee and galvantula get ohkod by weavile’s triple axel through focus sash.
The team generally wins by getting key kills with powerful, easy to spam moves such as banded triple axel and huge power play rough. Hatterene carries aromatherapy to remove the risk vs static and flame body. With two contact physical attackers being the main progress makers, aromatherapy is a key tool.
Matchups (may add replays):
Rain: lead mmaw vs pelipper, tpunch ohkos and you are faster. Use ability triggers to dodge scarf pelipper cheese. Nothing in rain likes switching into mmaw. Also absolutely use tera water garganacl, rain teams have very few tools against it (zappy and wellspring).
screens: you see a screen setter, hard switch mawile and brick break until they are forced out, no screens for them.
glimmora: it cant get hazards up vs hatterene, use tera steel
threats:
Koko (offensive variants): tera ground rotom w is a must, koko is a huge threat to this team, especially specs variants
setup sweepers: make aggressive switches on their setup move, you have no tool against setup aside from some decent priority (no unaware or guaranteed crits)
battle bond gren, mscizor, sun sweeper venu
If you dont like the hatterene, I have also tested AV tangrowth in that slot with decent success

Team D, I do love me a vintage team.
Edit: Sorry Slash, thought Team D was C.

Team D, I dislike Slowbro without slack off on its defensive pivot sets (don't think body press is all that needed to catch things on the switch when it's not carrying a colbur berry, just teleport out), but the rest of the team is beautifully constructed - Celebi fits incredibly well here.
