I'm getting wrecked in VGC 2018

I have a team based around Tapu Fini and using her to boost Gastrodon with its Storm Drain, I have Volcarona to eliminate Grass-type threats against the two of them, and I have Raichu with his Lightning rod to draw away Electric attacks from Tapu Fini. I'm still getting wrecked, some criticism would be appreciated.

I don't know a lot about VGC and I realize EQ is a spread move but if the whole point of gastro is to get boosted by fini, why not just run Earth Power? It's not like an uninvested EQ from a pokemon with about as much attack as a Meganium is doing much anyway.

Also is Iron Tail good in VGC for some weird reason IDK about? Because from where I'm standing it just seems like a poor man's Meteor Mash.
