Hey cool team, I like Zapdos and Ferrothorn a lot.
One thing I noticed is that SubCM Jirachi can really do a number on this team. +1 Psychic from the standard version is doing 40% at +1 Psychic to Zapdos and does 61.1% - 67.89% after SR with +1 Psychic, so Zapdos is p much dead at that point. SubCM Rachi is able to hold off Tornadus and set up on Ferrothorn every time. After that it just proceeds to take out the team with Psychic/Electric Move, which nothing on the team can really take too well. I feel like you're kind of in a bind between a defensive team and an offensive one here and that you really ought to try for a more defensive one with a balanced attack. I feel like you can achieve this by doing a few things. First I'd get rid of Zapdos and put a SubCM Jirachi of your own. It still beats Tornadus and shits on a lot of other rain teams without having an SR Weak to worry about, as well as setting up on Ferrothorn, which could be a nuisance to this team if played correctly. Also has Psychic to hurt Breloom which is something that Zapdos couldn't really do. Obviously you don't want to switch Jirachi in on Breloom but its an easy way to get rid of him.

Another problem for this team is Rotom-W, it can pretty much Volt Switch anything except Terrakion which dies to Hydro Pump [and can't switch in because of this] and Ferrothorn which is burn prone, and you don't want to let it get burned if you need it later in game. I think that if you really want to check all the threats this team has issues with, you could opt for a full defensive team and swap out Tornadus-T out with SpDef Celebi, especially since Jirachi and Terrakion still retain some offensive presence. I feel like Tornadus is a lot more manageable with rocks up and it's sort of bad for this team that one of its biggest threats is a Pokemon that stops Tornadus cold. It's just sort of iffy to stick a frail sweeper such as Tornadus on a team that looks like its going to be countering Pokemon during a match rather than straight up attacking the ones that are in Tornadus's way. SpDef Celebi basically wrecks a ton of issues this team would have, Rotom-W, Breloom, and SubCM Jirachi. Breloom and Jirachi can't touch its defenses and just die to Perish Song, while Rotom-W obviously loses. You don't really have to worry about Volt Switches to something like a Tornadus-T because you have Jirachi In addition to that it beats the very annoying Rock Polish Landorus, which is gaining a lot of popularity as of late and the set is decent against Keldeo as well. As a final thing, I'd throw 16 Speed EVs on Politoed so that you outspeed standard Skarmory. Sort of big if you want to stop it from Spiking.
