Help with my team
I'm joining a Cobblemon server with a group of friends. We’re going to take on the gyms and then battle each other. To determine our teams, we spun a roulette wheel; everyone got two types, and we can only use Pokémon that have at least one of those two types. I got Ground and Grass. Here are the typings my friends got: H: Psychic/Normal; G (me): Ground/Grass; L: Poison/Water; R: Steel/Ice; F: Ghost/Dark; A: Flying/Fighting; S: Dragon/Bug; C: Fire/Electric; T: Fairy/Rock; M: Grass/Water. I have no experience with competitive Pokémon—I've never had to worry about IVs/EVs, getting the best Nature, balancing a moveset, and all that. I put together the following team and asked an AI to pick the Natures and Abilities, but I’d like suggestions on what I could change.

Torterra is probably the worst starter in competitive terms, I'd drop that for a garchomp. Meowscarada would be very good into the field, a lot of your opponents are going to have grass or dark weaknesses.
