Hey. Your team is going to suffer a lot due to a general weakness in strong Psychic-type Pokemon like Reuniclus and Latios so definitely pick Ferrothorn over Blastoise. Also Reuniclus still in general has tons of potential to run through your team regardless of the variant. Not only that, you lack any sort of reliable priority damage. Also Terrakion runs through everything on your team besides for Gliscor, which can even lose to CB Terrakion, making it not a totally reliable counter. To patch up a lot of these problems, specifically the Reuniclus and need of priority, I recommend you add a Choice Band Scizor to your team. It'll give your team a reliable check to a lot of major threats in this metagame, while also giving you reliable priority. Here is the set.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Nature @ Adamant
evs:248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Pursuit / Quick Attack

Good luck!
 
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.
