I would like some help with this team, since the Regional in my area is in a couple days.
So, to start, I have:
Tyranitar @ Focus Sash
-Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Protect
-Superpower (any suggestions for a replacement here?)
Stats at level 50: [Adamant Nature]
HP-172
Attack-203
Defense-134
Sp. Attack-97
Sp. Defense-119
Speed-71
This guy is there to set up the sandstorm, and then hit hard. Protect is there for common reasons(Fake Out, Fighting type moves, etc.) Crunch is for a strong Dark STAB(Great for Cresselia/Latios), and Rock Slide is there for spread damage and Volcarona. I'm not sure what to say for Superpower, though. He can usually take hits pretty well, so that's a plus. His speed is excellent for Trick Room. Obviously, he is a strong physical attacker.
Gyro (Reuniclus) @ Life Orb
-Shadow Ball
-Psyshock
-Focus Blast
-Trick Room
Stats at level 50: [Calm nature]
HP-193
Attack-76
Defense-110
Sp. Attack-170
Sp. Defense-133
Speed-50
This guy is the big special attacker of the bunch, and is one of the two that can use Trick Room. Psyshock over Psychic, because I fell as if it is slightly more fitting. Shadow Ball is there to hit ghosts and other Psychics, and Focus Blast is a strong fighting type move (although it is risky at some points). He takes hits pretty well, too, but not as well as Tyranitar.
Boo (Dusclops)@ Eviolite
-Trick Room
-Night Shade
-Wil-O-Wisp
-Pain Split
Stats at level 50: [Bold Nature]
HP-115
Attack-84
Defense-191
Sp. Attack-77
Sp. Defense-177
Speed-40
Although total taunt bait, this guy is good. He can take any hit like it's nothing, and then Wil-O-Wisp right back. Night Shade is there for 50 damage all the time (and for Taunt)
and Trick Room is there for Trick Room (obviously). Pain Split can be useful if he has low HP and the opponent just switched in. Another plus, he's immune to Fake Out, so I can start a match only fearing Taunt. On to the next guy!
Dancer (Swampert) @ Sitrus Berry (any suggestions for a better item?)
-Waterfall
-Wide Guard
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
Stats at level 50: [Adamant Nature]
HP-196
Attack-178
Defense-110
Sp. Attack-85
Sp. Defense-107
Speed-80
This guy is there for more strong physical power. He can be quite useful at times, and Wide guard protects him and his partner from common spread moves. Rock Slide is for Pokemon not affected by Earthquake, and Waterfall is a strong Water type Attack. His Earthquake works well with the next guy's Discharge.
Mr. Too (Rotom-Mow) @ White Herb
-Thunder
-Shadow Ball
-Discharge
-Leaf Storm
Stats at level 50: [Modest Nature]
HP-125
Attack-63
Defense-133
Sp. Attack-159
Sp. Defense-135
Speed-102
The lawnmower here is my second Special attacker, whose primary goal is to counter annoying water types I was having trouble with before (including his own Washer form).
Discharge is there for spread damage, and goes well with Swampert. Thunder is there to counter rain teams. Shadow Ball hurts psychics. And Leaf Storm is used with White Herb so he can launch off 2 strong STAB Grass Attacks against anything that needs to be put down (Other Tyranitar, Gastrodon, Rotom-W, etc.) Also, his name is an anagram.
Finally, we have:
Peek (Omastar) @ Air Ballon (this isn't the best item for doubles, replacement suggestions?)
-Earth Power
-Ice Beam
-Protect
-Surf (should I replace this with Hydro Pump?)
Stats at level 50: [Gentle Nature]
HP-139
Attack-68
Defense-125
Special Attack-163
Sp. Defense-92
Speed-105
This is the only female on the team, and really useful against Rain teams due to Swift Swim. In Sandstorm, her Sp. Defense is boosted, so she likes either weather. She is one of the best Garchomp counters, with that speedy Ice Beam and ignoring ground attacks. Ice attacks are very useful, but this is the only Pokemon on my team that uses one effectively. Earth Power is a strong Special ground move, Surf (Hydro Pump?) is a strong special water move, and Protect is for the same reasons as most with Protect.
Some common threats to the team include Scizor, since I can't hit one for super-effective damage. Latios, because he's always a threat. Taunt users if there isn't rain. And many unmentioned as well.
If you would like to see them in action, here's the battle video number:

So, what do you think?
