Hello, it's your resident RU main trace RMTing a team here, since durant is probably getting banned soon, i wanted to show you all a team i've been using alongside my friends for tour games to a good degree of success, hope you all enjoy the RMT while you're at it​

大戟 (Durant) @ Choice Band
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- X-Scissor
- Superpower
- Crunch
this mon is the star of the team. i decided to start off with durant cuz it's such a huge threat on current meta. Durant is really good at what it does not counting the misses you'll get since hustle is sometimes very unreliable :(, the set is standard Dual STAB / Superpower to hit steels / Crunch to hit doublade and stuffs ig. nothing much more to say about it since it's just a standard mon with a standard set lol

月中眠 (Snorlax) @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 188 HP / 128 Def / 192 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Frustration
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

fairly typical snorlax, it complements with durant very nicely since durant can weaken snorlax's check by spamming it's STABs, lax also acts my win-con most of the times, Sleep Talk > EQ since i don't really want to give my opponent some free turns by resting. also acts my special attack check since it has a good special defense which means i can just switch in around and rest when lax hp went low

大漠孤烟 (Gligar) @ Eviolite
Ability: Immunity
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Defog
- Earthquake
- Knock Off

Gligar provides me a fighting resist which also acts as my Hazard Control that beats non-curse mega lix and registeel, it also pairs nicely w/ snorlax. no toxic or u-turn means you need to be extra careful with opposing set up sweepers, standard set with knock off just to fuck with yanmega and stuffs similar like that. nothing much to say more about this as well since it's self-explanatory

王不留行 (Roserade) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Extrasensory

Roserade acts as my choice scarfer as well as my revenge-killer. Leaf Storm is it's most powerful STAB move. Sludge Bomb is it's go-to STAB move when opposing steel types are removed / fainted, Hidden Power Fire allows it to hit Durant / Steel Type while Extrasensory hits Salazzle and Chesnaught since it has Bulletproof which means Sludge Bomb will not affect it. Natural Cure over Technician is also an option if you're scared of status move like T-Wave but Technician is generally better.

风梳烟沐 (Milotic) @ Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Recover
- Toxic
- Haze

Milotic is by far the best bulky water type in RU and is also very splashable since it got recover and haze which allows it to beat a lot of set up sweepers such as feraligatr, snorlax and the likes. Scald is it's main attacking move, Haze allows milotic to beat set up sweepers 1v1, Recover is self-explanatory while toxic allows it be not easily exploitable by other mons and makes it less passive.

逐烟霞 (Necrozma) @ Psychium Z
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Photon Geyser
- Stealth Rock
- Dark Pulse / Power Gem
- Calm Mind

Necrozma is my rocker and is also my z-move user. EVs is just max max since i'm a lazy twat. Stealth Rock is self-explanatory, Photon Geyser is a powerful move with little to no drawback (you can also use psychic if you want more PP but Photon Geyser is much better), Calm Mind to set up on passive stuff and nuke it w/ z-move on the next turn. last slot is Dark Pulse or Power Gem which is basically your preference, Dark Pulse hit stuffs like other necrozma/meloetta/cresselia while Power Gem hits mandibuzz/honchkrow/umbreon in some way. a shame that you can't hit pangoro at all though

Conclusion:
overall, this team has been fun to use and works well on current meta which you can see by the replays below, sorry for my shitty english since i'm shitty at writing stuffs like this, have fun with the team while it lasted!
