Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Assault Vest Cyclizar has been basically the only Rapid Spinner since December and Cincinno/Maushold can Tidy Up now. Defog is fairly limited and those are basically the only forms of removal worth running on a majority of teams - Forretress and Tsareena and such are too niche for most teams.
What are good mons to lead into/ways to deal with Kleavor? I find myself struggling against them a lot; sharpness boosted stone axe and x scissor are mad strong

Rocky Helmet Hippowdon is generally good in this meta and can handle Kleavor fairly well, along with stuff like Taunt Cobalion or Rock Blast Terrakion.
Good non-waters include Kilowattrel/Thundurus-Therian for your electric type and electric immune, Forretress/Cobalion for a Steel type Rocks setter with Volt Switch, and Overqwil/Toxicroak for offensive abusers.
Start with what you would like your team to look like and play like, then go on ladder and play a few games. When you lose check if you could of played better or if there was a different path you could of took. When going through replays if you’re noticing a specific Pokémon is stopping quite often then that might be where you could adjust something on your team! Hope this helps
In addition, although its unpopular, Tauros-Paldea-Aqua is my favorite anti-kleavor mon. Intimidate + Typing + Speed makes it a premier predator. Scarf sets do ~24 with Stone Axe and die to Raging Bull, and Sash may get 1 hit in but they gotta choose between damage (and revealing scarf/locked into coverage move) or Stone Axe Rocks.
