I wouldn't say so.

Marcus and Karen can easily handle the Bonsly with their respective STABs, while Kogeki and Pyra handle the regular ol' Ziggy and Kee can prioritize whomever they want, so we're not so bad off against this group mate!

Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding about that, mate! Of course, their's a decent chance the Bonsly have Sturdy as their Ability, so we essentially have to down them twice if that's the case. Of course, if they're at 1 HP they'll have to suffer - 3 Pain and they're more likely to sceddadle than be Fainted, so it's possible that scenario won't occur.

Here's the plan I have so far for the Encounter:

1. Pyra and Kogeki should focus on Zigzagoon, as the later can get some Priority Damage in that could be enough to Pain it slightly while the former really can't hope to meaningfully Damage the Bonsly, so she's stuck with the browncoon.
2. Karen and Dax focus on wearing downing the Bonsly with their Spread Moves to trigger their Sturdy early (if they have it), or focus on the Ziggy + one Bonsly (Both of them targeting the same one) to try and KO the definitely non-Sturdy Pokemon with Pyra and Kogeki first before fully focusing on the faux sproutlings. 
3. Kee.....well, I honestly don't know enough about their character to predict what they want to do IC, and I know Phantom doesn't like being forced to follow plans unless its necessary, so I guess they can do whatever they feel is needed to end things quickly. Similarly, Marcus I know nothing about beyond the fact he likely knows at least Bone Club, so he can help pair down the fake trees or roundly trounce the Ziggy before they get another Round.

What do you think of this, mates?

Now then, on with the (easier) pokemon combat!
