SM UU Infernape BalanceTeam

So I have used this team over several battles, and the only problems I have with it is that Aerodactyl-Mega, Terrakion, Scizor, and Entei give my team the most trouble. Usually Tsareena will get whittled down extremely fast, leaving Blastiose-M to take all the physical hits. Blastoise is bulky. but not bulky enough to take repeated hits from any of these mons if they are Banded.

I was considering switching Tsareena with either Gliscor or Hippowdon since they are bulkier then Tsareena and they would help versus all those problematic mons listed above. However my team would not be able to take hits from water types like Crawdaunt and ground types

Anyway, rate away everyone.

Main sweeper. I don't have any physical wallbreakers on this team, so Z-move and SD make up for that. Need thunder Punch to lore water and flying types.
