SM OU Dual type team

Right! I'm new to this game and I need help in choosing the right team.
Muk-Alola @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 76 HP / 164 Atk / 96 Def / 76 SpD / 96 Spe
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Fire Punch

I added Muk because I can now use Grass,poison and dark in one go. I'm pretty unsure about fire punch. Because I seldom use it during the battle. Also I'm confused whether to use Dark pulse or Knock off.
Q: What move should I use instead of fire Punch ? Shall I replace the Aguav berry with balloon?


Celesteela @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 96 HP / 124 Atk / 72 Def / 88 SpA / 84 SpD / 44 Spe
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam
- Acrobatics
- Leech Seed

I often use Celesteela's Leech seed. Against enemies. It's pretty useful. Also as it is a flying type it's useful against scizor and other bug pokémons.
Q: Should I use steel plate instead of Aguav berry? Should I increase Atk and decrease Spa?

Zapdos @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 80 HP / 84 Atk / 92 Def / 76 SpA / 88 SpD / 88 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Drill Peck
- Roost
- Facade
This is the most vulnerable member of my team and I'm starting to think whether I should replace another electric pokémon like Rotom. But I see that roost isn't legal for Celesteela (why?). So I'm keeping it for a while to test how good roost works
Q: Is facade really useful? If not, what should I use?

Swampert @ Swampertite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 52 HP / 76 Atk / 100 Def / 172 SpA / 96 SpD / 12 Spe
- Ice Ball
- Waterfall
- Earth Power
- Earthquake

I feel that having both earthquake and earthpower together is useless and I need clarity on that matter. Also is ice ball feasible? I know it's powerful. But it locks me with no choice
Q:Can I dump either of earthquake/earthpower and use something else?

Pangoro @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 84 HP / 152 Atk / 116 Def / 96 SpD / 60 Spe
- Knock Off
- Dragon Claw
- Drain Punch
- Body Slam

I'm actually satisfied with having Pangoro a lot. I use it to chuck annoying Blisseys.
I specifically made the spa 0 so that I could make most of the contact move. Though I wonder if I could replace Body Slam with some other move. Which one would you suggest?

Garchomp @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 92 HP / 116 Atk / 84 Def / 108 SpA / 36 SpD / 72 Spe
- Dragon Claw
- Poison Jab
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance

There's nothing like having a dragon claw!
Q:Maybe as I can Evolve Swampert, Should I switch to Draco plate?
I realised from my previous battles that Garchomp is one of the most powerful pokemon. But I need to optimise it (Increase spa to counter ice beam maybe? )

Expecting Ratings.
Thank you

There's so much wrong with this team I wouldn't know where to start.
I suggest lurking more and definitely hammer out the major flaws in this team before posting it up for an RMT
Like, there's so much wrong, for example, physical Zap?
2 megas?
PANGORO IN OU?!?!

I use drill peck against bug type
Thank you! I've removed Garchompite and included agauv berry now
PANGORO IN OU?!?!
Then how could I counter normal and dark types? Especially Blissey

Heat Wave on Zap is better
Wtf is aquav doing on chomp, run Rockium
Mswamp is doing a good enough job against Chansey, who I'm assuming you meant to say
 
Also, all your natures are missing.

Edit: major set revamps to allow your Pokemon to perform way better in the present meta.

Celesteela:

Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 248 HP / 28 Def / 232 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower

Zapdos:

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 188 Def / 72 Spe
Timid Nature
- Discharge
- Hidden Power Ice
- Heat Wave
- Roost

Major edit: Swampert —> something else entirely

What is Swampert doing here? It is generally used only on Rain teams. Why are you even using Swampert? Change that.

Major edit: Pangoro —> Hawlucha / Medicham-Mega / Lopunny-Mega

Pangoro is doing absolutely nothing none of the above Pokemon cannot do. I personally recommend Medicham.

Garchomp:

Garchomp @ Rockium Z
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
