Need help with competitive doubles

After a long creative block, I've finally got into competitive Pokemon again. I made a trick room team, and it did extremely well in the poke ball tier, but the moment I get into the great ball tier, I get flattened again and again. Either this is just a trash team, or I'm a trash player. What went wrong?

1st of all, the items aren't really that good on most your mons. For example, none of Kingambit's moves are punching moves. You should also exchange Gholdengo's focus sash for a life orb or choice specs if you give it focus blast and thunderbolt. Hatterene shouldn't have a life orb as I believe it's usually more of a support mon. Torkoal should exchange iron defense and clear smog for Earth Power and lava plume

Edit: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet — Rental Teams for VGC 2023 - Victory Road here are some rental teams that you can use
 
Thanks for the reply! I gave punching glove to gambit so it's Sucker Punch would be more powerful. It's really helped me out. And torkoal has clear smog for dondozos. Thanks for the advice!
