In addition to what ToF said, which is all correct, you're also super weak to Choice Band Tyranitar, who OHKOs half your team, 2HKOs the other half, and also outspeeds half. It's an unfortunate weakness and there's sadly nothing you can really do to remedy it because of the nature of stall in BW2. You're always going to be weak to something, and that's what makes it so unreliable. That said, this is an exemplary stall team, and though I question the usage of both Xatu and Tentacruel on the same team, it seems to be working out well for you, so I won't suggest any changes. But yeah, watch out for speedy BandTar especially - try to wear it down with entry hazards and Rocky Helmet damage and you should be good. As for your Terrakion weakness, maybe give Sableye a shot over Xatu, since in my mind it's the least valuable member of your team. Priority Will-O-Wisp is a good check to physical boosting attackers.
