Leftovers is an odd item choice on a Politoed that basically has no bulk (HP/def/Sp.Def EVs). You're still going to get 2 hit KO'd by most subway Pokemon even with the leftovers so the choice specs or something else (I use scarf) might be a better item if you want to use that EV spread.

Again only thing I don't like is the item. You have to do 80+ damage for the shed bell recover as much as the leftovers would and even if you OHKO something you're only getting back about 20 HP on average. I prefer the leftovers because it always activates at the end of the turn and you recover a consistent amount regardless of how much damage you did which can be good against toxic stalling Pokemon or Pokemon that use fakeout to break multiscale.

No setup moves on a Toxicroak. This isn't competitive battling. The AI isn't going to switch and give you a free setup. This Toxicroak and any Toxicroak in general will get wrecked in the later rounds (28+) when they have perfect IVs and don't give you much time to setup. Toxicroak is only good for the double subway imo.

Try Cobalion, Terrakion or Sawk if you're looking for a fighting type. Scizor might also be a decent replacement.

Overall your team seems very slow and seems quite prone to hax but maybe you can make it work.
