Welcome to smogon! To start off, I have a few nitpicks for this team and they are as follows:
Replace Swift Swim with Rain Dish
Quote:
Ludicolo has proven it's worth over and over. When Rain is implemented, It sometimes get's locked into a toss-up for outspeeding (or Out-slowing with TR). Which is why I've considered Rain Dish on this Set to add to it's survivability in rain
Yep. Do it. Also, you could replace Ludicolo's item with an absorb bulb in order to abuse the opponents surf spam and ludicolo's quad resistance allows it to take little damage from their water attacks. You also don't even really need ludicolo very much and I second themantyke's proposal to add in amoonguss over it.

Sucker Punch on Hitmontop
Definitely a must on hitmontop. Hits Latios, chandelure, and cresselia super effectively. It also provides excellent dark+fighting coverage that is only resisted by toxicroak, croagunk, and heracross iirc, all of which are handled by other members of your team. You should also add a dark or fighting gem to hitmontop to help beef up its sucker punches.

Replace Marowak with Rhyperior
In my VGC experience, I have found that rhyperior is a lot better than marowak. While, granted, his attack is not as large gigantic as marowak's , he has several assets that make rhyperior better than him.
A.) Rhyperior has STAB on his ROCK moves
B.) He can utilize many items, such as rock and ground gem
C.) He resists flying and shits on tornadus, who seems to be a major threat to this team
D.) He also has access to lightningrod
E.) He has access to a better ability in solid rock, since no one is gonna go paralyze a trick room team.

A.) and B.) actually allow for rhyperior to be more powerful than marowak, so there isn't really any do

E.) Makes him "bulkier" than marowak

Heres the set:
...


Replace Gallade with either Cresselia of Porygon2
Either would work really, but Cresselia provides levitate and helping hand support. Cresselia also provides another fighting resist to the team and screen support. Proygon2, however, provides more "fire power" with its large special attack and more reliable recovery.

Set for Cresselia:
