VGC Snow or Trick room team (first time making team)

Abomasnow (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Warning
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aurora Veil
- Giga Drain
- Blizzard
- Protect
Snow warning is best to set up snow, and focus sash is so abomasnow can get an Aurora Veil off. Blizzard is there to hit both opponents plus it can't miss in snow.
Tera type water to take less damage from fire moves. Giga drain is there to be another STAB move and to regain some hp. Chose calm nature to make
Abomasnow bulky when combined with defence boost from snow.

Cetitan (F) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Slush Rush
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Ice Spinner
- Earthquake
- Liquidation
Cetitan is the main attacker in the team and can function in snow or as a trick room attacker, moving before threats like Rapid-Strike Urshifu in snow ( due to slush rush) and trick room. Belly drum is easy to set up and sitrus berry restoring hp and defence boost from snow should let it survive, can also tera ground if needed. Earthquake can take out both opponents in one go while protecting or swapping in Articuno protects some teammates. Adamant nature for high attack and ice spinner and liquidation for coverage.

Articuno @ Bright Powder
Ability: Snow Cloak
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Freeze-Dry
- Tera Blast
- Blizzard
- Roost
Articuno is another pokemon that is hard to deal with in snow. Bright powder + Snow cloak brings accuracy of 100% moves hitting it to 90% while raising Articuno's evasiveness one stage, making it hard to hit and even harder to hit with it's main weaknesses in rock slide or stone edge. Tera type water and tera blast lets it hit fire types like Heatran or Arcanine for super effective damage, while blizzard being it's main move and freeze-dry adding water type coverage. Roost is there to heal up after the Articuno has tanked a few hits.

Indeedee-F @ Psychic Seed
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 126 Def / 4 SpA / 126 SpD / 252 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Helping Hand
- Trick Room
- Follow Me
- Dazzling Gleam
Indeedee is the main support and trick room setter with psychic seed to boost spdef. Runs helping hand to boost move power like Armarouge expanding force and follow me to allow Cetitan to get a belly drum off. Dark tera is for immunity to prankster moves like a taunt for Tornadus. Trick room works pretty well with all other teammates except Cetitan if slush rush is activated. Dazzling gleam is Indeedee's only attacking move as a psychic move would be useless against common mons such as Chien-pao or the other legends of ruin. Indeedee is also running psychic surge to stop fake-outs from Rillaboom or Sucker Punches from Chien-Pao directed at Cetitan or Armarouge.

Armarouge @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flash Fire
Level: 50
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Armor Cannon
- Expanding Force
- Energy Ball
- Protect
Armarouge is the special trick room attacker and is running heavy duty boots to stop hazard damage and flash fire so it can switch into fire moves directed at any of the ice types. Tera psychic to further boost expanding force as well as arnor cannon being the other STAB move. Energy ball is there for coverage and the ability to hit Ting-Lu for super effective damage. Protect is there to scout opposing moves and to wait a turn while trick room is being set up.

Iron Hands @ Assault Vest
Ability: Quark Drive
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Wild Charge
- Heavy Slam
Iron hands is being used as a bulky assault vest physical attacker. It has good coverage on every pokemon with drain punch and wild charge being the main moves. Heavy slam is able to hit pokemon like Scream Tail and F Indeedee for 120BP. Ice punch is for the ability to hit Landorus and the Ice-tera is to further boost it's power and to get a defence boost in the snow. Best used when brought in at the end of the battle to clean up the opponent pokemon or when brought in at the start while versing a Scream Tail-Gothitelle perish trap team.

Calm Abomasnow shouldn't need sash on top of it all. Articuno has ice coverage, and not just in the coveted freeze-dry, but so does Iron Bundle. Bundle also doesn't have to tera to get water coverage, so I think it's better here.

what item should I do instead of focus sash? Also would rather have Articuno as it is immune to cetitan earthquake.
