    It may seem tempting to give Breloom Coba Berry to weaken Flying moves, but they're not that common outside of Hurricane and Brave Bird, and those still hurt. It's also tempting to give Techniloom Rock Tomb, but it's still weak and Stone Edge outdamages it:
    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Seed
    -Mach Punch
    -Spore (it eases setup and supports the team at once)
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Focus Sash/Fighting Gem
    Ability: Technician

    Cloyster's terrible defensive typing holds it back from using a support set. It's better off using an all-out attacking Shell Smash set:
    -Shell Smash
    -Icicle Spear
    -Rock Blast
    -Razor Shell/Ice Shard/Hydro Pump
    Nature: Jolly/Naive
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: White Herb/Focus Sash
    Ability: Skill Link

    If you want to use a hazard/Rapid Spin supporter, go for Donphan instead:
    -Earthquake
    -Rapid Spin
    -Stealth Rock
    -Ice Shard
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sturdy

    HP Ghost/Ice are the better options over HP Electric on Keldeo. Not only does HP Ghost still deal with Jellicent, it also allows Keldeo to deal with other Ghosts/Psychics, like Celebi. HP Ice, on the other hand, still deals with Celebi, but also hits Dragons hard.

    Cresselia performs best at Sun teams. Despite Espeon's fraility, it's the superior option for a screening supporter outside of Sun:
    -Reflect
    -Light Screen
    -Psychic/Psyshock
    -Hidden Power (Fire)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Light Clay
    Ability: Magic Bounce

    Zen Headbutt is a subpar option on Black Kyurem; really, the only thing it hits are Fighting Pokemon. Outrage hits them hard enough already:
    -Outrage
    -Dragon Claw
    -Fusion Bolt
    -Ice Beam/Earth Power
    Nature: Hasty/Lonely
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    While Lucario's Speed isn't the best, priority abuse isn't one of its main specialties, given how weak priority moves are in general, outside of ExtremeSpeed and Sucker Punch. You're wasting away the fact that it has Swords Dance and Nasty Plot to amp up its power:
    -Swords Dance
    -Close Combat
    -ExtremeSpeed
    -Crunch/Ice Punch/Bullet Punch
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    or
    -Nasty Plot
    -Aura Sphere
    -Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse
    -Vacuum Wave/Hidden Power (Ice)
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Something else to consider on the team is Blissey, who can absorb special blows easily and support the team at once:
    -Stealth Rock/Aromatherapy
    -Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
    -Softboiled
    -Toxic
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure

    or
    -Wish
    -Protect/Softboiled
    -Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
    -Toxic
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure
     
    Well, as for how the team looks now, I see errors in terms of defensive synergy. None of your team resist Psychic, Flying or Fighting-type moves, so Pokemon such as Reuniclus and Staraptor may be able to sweep your team. A Ghost-type Pokemon makes a solid team-mate to replace Lucario or Breloom, as not only they have an immunity to Fighting and can eliminate Psychic-types with their STAB moves, but they can also switch in to prevent Pokemon that attempt to remove Stealth Rock. Jellicent is the most common Ghost-type in the tier that isn't weak to Psychic, although you could also try Sableye and Rotom, as they resist Psychic and Flying-type moves respectively as well as Fighting, even though they aren't as common.

    Offensively, I recommend having at least one Fire-type move, such as Hidden Power Fire, on one of your Pokemon, as these moves can quickly eliminate Scizor, Forretress and Ferrothorn from the match.

    I hope my advice helps as well as PlatinumDude's, Good luck in the competitive battling world.
