    I assume you're not going by standard tiers since you have everything from Ubers to NUs, lol. In which case, this probably isn't a competitive team.

    Could you post the natures, abilities and stats of your Pokemon? Also, try going on the Smogon website and search: EV guide. I really think you would find it useful if you're going to that tourney!

    Garchomp Lv. 90 @ Life Orb
    Fire Fang
    Dragon Claw / Outrage
    Earthquake(can't really use when im in a double battle)
    Swords Dance

    Dragon Claw or Outrage is entirely your decision. If you can set up a SD, you'll be OHKOing a lot. If you're worried about Steel types resisting your Dragon moves and you don't want to use Earthquake, then Fire Fang will be a lot of help, but I'd suggest keeping Earthquake, simply because it gets STAB and hits both opponents.

    That's the Chomp I use and it's always done well, but I've never tried it in doubles matches. It might also help if you give another Pokemon on your team Sandstorm to make Chomp last even longer.

    EDIT:

    Poliwrath Lv. 76 @ Leftovers
    Substitute
    Waterfall
    Bulk Up
    Brick Break

    Against a physical sweeper, Bulk Up and Substitute can make Poliwrath difficult to take out. You then have both STAB attacks to do as much damage as possible after Bulk Up. If you have trouble with Dragon types, then Ice Punch is an option over Brick Break (Might be beneficial since it would be the only Ice type move on your entire team).

    I saw this Poliwrath earlier today on Shoddy. It caused me a fair bit of trouble.

    Mewtwo Lv. 90 @ Leftovers
    Recover
    Aura Sphere
    Calm Mind
    Psychic

    Before I start, I feel that I should say that my knowledge and experience with Mewtwo is borderline nothing so you may want another opinion on this advice:

    Jolly Mewtwo is really quite bad [+Speed -S.Attack], but looking at those stats you could use it to your advantage. It'd certainly catch people off-guard if you had a Mewtwo running a set like: Substitute - Focus Punch - Flamethrower - Psychic and it'd cause problems for special walls like Blissey who are hoping to wall you, but after a couple of Calm Minds, I'm sure Aura Sphere will be a big threat to Blissey anyway. Recover and Calm Mind with Mewtwo's defences will make for a threatening sweeper that is very hard to take down. Psychic and Aura Sphere provide good coverage and will be very strong coming from Calm Mind Mewtwo.

    As far as I can see, this set should work pretty well. As for your other Pokemon, their natures aren't too great I'm afraid, but Mewtwo's is the worst in my opinion.

    EDIT:

    Ampharos Lv. 75 @ Life Orb / Choice Specs
    Signal Beam
    Thunderbolt / Focus Blast
    Discharge / Focus Blast
    Reflect

    Ampharos is another Pokemon I don't have much experience with, but I don't really see the need to run both Thunderbolt and Discharge, when you could use one of those moveslots to expand your coverage with Focus Blast. It'd definately help with Tyranitar and Weavile. Thunderbolt is stronger, but you mentioned that Discharge works well with Garchomp, so it's up to you. Same goes for the item. Power Gem only gives you extra coverage against Fire types with just 20 more base power than Discharge and with all the sweepers on your team, it'd probably be beneficial to give Ampharos a support move. I chose Reflect, because of Ampharos' Ground weakness and the commonness of Earthquake.

    With Static and Reflect, Ampharos may be surviving Earthquakes and paralysing opposing sweepers, which is always nice.

    Well I really dont think about that kinda stuff before I start raising them up. I wish I wouldve paid more attention. I just didnt think I would be competeing, it was just a personal fun team. But thanks for the advice. I think Im going to use the movesets the you listed.
