I have some dilemmas. I want to restart playing Gen 7 Doubles in online competitive... but I'm tad afraid that I can't build truly proper Trick Room team

My usual leads are Dusclops and Tyranitar.
On round one, Tyranitar uses Protect while Dusclops sets up Trick Room (thanks to being immune to Fake Out, that makes it easier to do)
Then, usually, on 2nd turn I'd use Bulldoze to slow down Tyranitar, and activate Weakness Policy, doubling the Attack. Minimal Attack investment is necessary to minimize done damage to it. Fire Punch on Tyranitar is to ensure OHKO'ing Pokemon like Kartana, Ferrothorn and some variations of Celesteela.
But if opponent's lead Pokemon is Incineroar, they usually, after Fake Out, use Parting Shot. Then I'd swap out Tyranitar for Milotic, who with Competitive would have it's Special Attack increased by 3 stages total. Bulky and very offensive Water type would get its' job done.
Stakataka's EV/IV spread might seem a little weird, but that's because to have its' Attack higher than Defense, therefore having Beast Boost boost its' Attack, not Defense. Unchecked, it might wreck havoc.
Mega Camerupt has that specific IV set to be able to use Hidden Power Grass - for wider coverage. Alternatively, I could use moves boosting its' Special Attack like Growth. But I wanted some Grass attacks to deal with bulky and annoying Water types, who also could threaten it.
Porygon2 is another Trick Room setter, but instead of being pure Support like Dusclops, its' offensive Pokemon, with moves to spread annoying status conditions, and to deal with unexpected and overall irritating Pokémon like Celesteela. Alternatively, I could have it run Toxic, but let's see how that set works.
If you have any changes, don't be afraid - I'll take any critic.

Incieroar is overused
I already have Milotic, so Primarina is bit useless
Porygon-Z is useless in Trick Room
Dusknoir is bad (competitively, because it looks very good)
I was wondering, but decided against it - it is weak to common spread moves like Heat Wave, Earthquake or Brutal Swing
Maybe~
Nah.
I don't think it is a good choice for Doubles.
Plus I need a second Trick Room setter - and my opinions are limited. Most of them are Psychic type, and except Reuniclus and Mega Gardevoir, none of them are that good offensively.
Alternatively, if Porygon2 fails, I will replace it with even Cresselia if I have to
