You will be able to trap Bronzer easily, helping Deerling, Murkrow, and Mismagius especially. If your Occa Berry remains intact, you're also down to just a single weakness, and while Fighting types are common you should get in some more good hits before going down. Also a great strategy against sand, because even the Magnemite they're likely to have can't beat you due to Occa, and Hippo / Drilbur can't hit you until Magnet Rise wears off, allowing Magnemite to sifficiently weaken the opposing team.

My only other suggestion is to consider using an Eviolite Misdreavus in place of your scarf set. The main reason I say to do this is because Misdreavus is the main counter to Fighting-types for your team. Without extra bulk or recovery, Misdreavus is prone to being worn down or Pursuited, which means Croagunk or Mienfoo can spam STAB moves easily. With Murkrow's Sucker Punch, Mienfoo's Fake Out, and Scarf Deerling, you should not miss the revenge killing opportunities, especially considering that Misdreavus is quite fast even without its scarf.

Anyways, it's cool team with some unique sets. Hope I helped a little bit.
Those are some really good suggestions and I'll try them out as soon as possible. I especially like the idea of Magnet Rise, since I also outspeed Hippopotas barely, so I can set up on that too.
