Still looks like a great, balanced team, but I might replace hydreigon so that you don't have 3 ice and fighting weaknesses, although you could also replace Volcarona with Heatran. It walls chandelure and can easily synergize with the rest of your team, since nothing really likes taking Draco meteors anyway.

Oh wow, can't believe I actually forgot about that O_O
I didn't mention it, but yeah I actually really thought about putting Heatran instead of Volcarona. It still have good power, but is also very bulky, and fairly speedy. I'll just do a few battles just to make sure, and I'll add it in after :)
EDIT: Awseome fight I just had ! Probably one of my best ones (as in it was fun): http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/doublesvgc2013dev10156820
EDIT 2: Guy forfeits after having Earthquake'd his own Chandelure: http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/doublesvgc2013dev10162394
EDIT 3: It's official, Heatran's gonna replace Volcarona !

Hey guys :) Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately. It's mainly because the team is pretty much set. I'm just practicing :)
And so that I don't come empty-handed, here's a little replay of me getting a perfect game :) For some reason it didn't let me share replay, so I just linked you guys the lobby. Hopefully you can instant replay it.

I agree on how he's weak to Fighting, but how is a VGC considered "too offensive"!? this is a very fast-paced metagame which is why support moves except twave and maybe TR are seen. also, that's why setup is rare. you only see one or two supporters per team.
I'm weak to Fighting type, but seeing as Fighting-type Pokemons are rare in the VGC (apart from Hitmontop), it isn't that bad.
And I know many PKMNs can learn Fighting type moves such as Mach Punch or Focus Blast. But I always have a way of dealing with those PKMNs ;) Besides, I've had NO PROBLEMS with Fighting, so I don't really have plans to change anything.
And following the "too offensive" remark: choosing a more defensive PKMN would just lower my offensive capabilities. Plus, I don't have any setup to do, so it seems kinda useless for my team...
