It's a nice team, although I do have a few minor suggestions.

I would make Swampert physical with Avalanche over Ice Beam so you can actually threaten Latias.

Replace Toxic Spikes on your Forretress with Spikes. None of your pokemon set up besides Gyarados, who's counters in Celebi, Starmie, and Rotom are all fine with Toxic Spikes. Make Blissey work to take those Draco Meteors.
 
Toxic Spikes seem more useful since this team is based on a CM Raikou sweep. The main thing standing in its way being Blissey, Toxic Spikes can keep her from stalling out Raikou and chipping away its health.

The only Pokemon in OU that can repeatedly take Draco Meteors are Registeel, Blissey, and Cresselia. Of those three, Blissey is on every stall team, Cress on few, and Registeel on none. Blissey has to take the Draco Meteor every time on a standard stall team, and if it comes in on 3 Spikes, it can't come in again. That means after Salamence comes in, It has either killed a Pokemon for free, or made one completely useless. Both ways, it has Roost and can continue to do this until Stall is completely destroyed. The only way stall could hope to take his MixMence is with Cress, who is immune to both.

Raikou still beats everything it's supposed to, you just have to use MixMence, as it's intended, first.

Hmm I'll think about going with PhysicalPert. Toxic Spikes help wear down walls while thier in helping with Raikou's sweep. Gyara isn't the only one that sets up. I think you missed Raikou. But I'll think about Spikes.
 
I would use Protect over Roar on Pert as a lead, as so many leads have Explosion, and Azelfs sometimes have Grass Knot.

Explosion > Reflect on Forretress, just in general

Also, Raikou is a gerbil. Not a cat.

Yah, Protect has proved to be more useful, and I tried Reflect with Forry and it really wasn't working. So I'll go with Explosion. Gerbil? Pffft.
