Hi. This team is well-built. One thing I would recommend is to change Starmie's EV spread from 252 SpA / 252 Spe to 32 HP / 248 SpA / 228 Spe. Due to HP Fire lowering your speed stat by one point, winning a speedtie versus opposing Starmie / Azelf is impossible anyways, so 228 Spe will give you just enough speed to outspeed Tornadus, while putting the rest of the EVs for bulk. 252 Spe EVs is unnecessary. Another change would be placing Dragonite's 4 HP EVs to Special Defense. That way, Dragonite will obtain additional Stealth Rock switch-ins, which can be useful in certain situations when Starmie is dead. Finally, I'd switch Mamoswine's item from Choice Band to Life Orb, in order to be able to switch moves and be able to use Stealth Rock without having to switch out after using it once. Great team, and good luck!
