Default First competitive team!

So this is my first time at making a team and my first time at a RMT! Please rate.
Team at a glance:
Ferrothorn,Hydreigon, Galvantula,Chandelure, Terrakion, Latios
The Lead
Pokemon: Ferrothorn@leftovers
Ability: iron barbs
Nature: sassy
Evs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpDef
Stealth Rock
Leech seed
Gyro ball
Power whip

•This guy sets up stealth rocks
•Walls with leech seed
•He can also take special hits. My solution to porygon2

Special Attacker??
Pokemon: Hydreigon@choice scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 speed
Draco meteor
Surf
Flamethrower/fire blast
U-Turn

•This guy counters Ferrothorn with its flamethrower
•If I see anything that he probably can't take down like Porygon2 I U-turn to Ferrothorn
•The big problem with this guy is when Ferrothorn is down I have almost nothing to safely switch into

The Bulky Waters Destroyer
Pokemon: Thunderus@Life orb
Ability: prankster
Nature: timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 speed
Thunderbolt
HP ice
Focus blast
Nasty plot

•Destroys basically anything after a nasty plot
•thunderbolt for water types like jellicent and rotom-W
•HP ice for dragons like salamence and dragonite. It also take down ground types
•focus blast for steels like opposing ferrothorns
•Nasty plot for boosting


The Lamp
Pokemon: Chandelure@choice scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 speed
Flamethrower
Overheat??
Shadow ball
Energy ball

•My revenge killer
•If I feel like I need to do alot of damage to one pokemon, I overheat. If I'm hitting for neutral damage to multiple pokemon, I flamethrower*
•I lure fire type moves to Ferrothorn and switch into this guy for the boost

The Terror of The Team
Pokemon: Terrakion@life orb
Ability: Justified
Nature: Jolly
Evs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
Close combat
Earthquake
Stone edge
Swords dance

•The main sweeper of my team
•When dark type moves are aimed at Chandelure, Terrakion comes in for the boost
•Terrakion and Hydreigon work really well together! Terrakion takes the ice type moves and Hydreigon takes the ground type moves

The Other Special Sweeper
Pokemon: Latios@white herb
Ability: levitate
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 speed
Draco meteor
psychic
Ice beam
Thunderbolt

•My actual special sweeper
•Takes down most ground types and the famous conkeldurr
•Draco meteor does alot to any pokemon that doesn't resist it
•Steel types cause a problem to this thing

So thats my team. Thinking about replacing Hydreigon or Latios because two dragons on one team don't do so well. This my first time so please don't be so harsh. I'm thinking of getting another physical sweeper because I only have one.
Let the rating begin!

I'm in the mood for some team rating. Hope this helps! Comments in bold.

Ferrothorn is NOT a lead, to put it frankly. He is far too slow and likely to be Taunted to function well as a lead, since his whole strategy here is to support. As such, I would suggest you put him out of the lead position since he really is not comfortable there. You will find Ferrothorn works much better when he is checking sweepers instead. I listed Spikes as a viable move switch over Gyro Ball simply because I don't much care for the lack of coverage that Gyro Ball has, especially since Spikes are so much more useful in the long run.

Special Attacker??
Pokemon: Hydreigon@Choice Scarf??
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 speed
Draco Meteor
Surf
Flamethrower / Fire Blast
U-Turn

Discard the Yache Berry idea, since Hydreigion shouldn't be staying in on anything using Ice-type moves anyway. Hydreigion makes a fantastic Choice Scarfer thanks to his Speed and Sp.Atk, so you would find it in your best interest to use such a set. Choice Scarfers often come in and out a lot, so the Sp.Atk loss caused by Draco Meteor really should not be much of an issue, and the massive increase in damage output certainly helps! Fire Blast is generally preferred over Flamethrower thanks to the power, but if you are panicked about it missing then Flamethrower works too. Be sure to keep U-Turn when facing undesirable foes, such as Porygon2, Blissey, and Vaporen!
•This guy counters Ferrothorn with its flamethrower
•If I see anything that he probably can't take down like Porygon2 I U-turn to Ferrothorn
•The big problem with this guy is when Ferrothorn is down I have almost nothing to safely switch into

The Bulky Waters Destroyer
Pokemon: Galvantula@Choice specs
Ability: compoundeyes
Nature: timid
Evs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Speed
Thunder
Volt switch
Bug buzz
Hidden power (ice)

Galvantula is an iffy choice. It is generally outclassed by Thundurus, simply because it is far more able to deal with more threats thanks to its mixed attacking stats and superior stats in general. If I were you, I would use a Thundurus with the same nature and EV spread, but give it a Life Orb and the following moves:
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice
-Hammer Arm
-Nasty Plot

You should find it most capable of serving as a sweeper for your team, especially thanks to Nasty Plot boosting your moves' power and Hammer Arm putting Ferrothorn, Blissey, and Tyranitar out of the way.

•The pokemon on my team that deals with vapereon and other bulky waters
•Can also take down non-scarfed Garchomps with HP ice
•Almost always loses to scarfed garchomps that come in to take thunders
Er uh I shall say more another time! For now I must head off to bed. EXPECT MORE TEAM REVIEWING. : D

Going to use all that! Thanks! Except Ferrothorn can't have spikes, sr and leech seed together.
