This team needs a bulky pokemon rather than another sweeper. I suggest using:

Milotic@Leftovers
Bold
148 HP / 228 Def / 132 SpA
-Recover
-Surf
-Hypnosis
-Ice Beam

Hydro Pump is a joke ingame. Ice Beam >> Dragon Pulse to cover both Grass and Dragon, especially since you have a Garchomp handy.
 
Just an note to ask if the battle tower star can be obtained through double battle mode...

soory no damn shame though i love double battles it begs for more creativity

okay then, thanks. Oh yh umbreon person garchomp is a dragon type too... Any items I should use for garchomp though? I was thinking of expert belt, salac berry, enigma berry, or muscle band but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

I agree with a Tank for this team. For the sake of Double Battles, I advise maybe a Skarmory. Resistant to Garchomp's EQ, fantastic phys.Tank and not too bad of a fighter himself(there are obviously better). I personally prefure Umbreon as my tank though, or Tagakiss with Follow Me(Double Battle, remember?) and Ninetales is not a bad idea either, assuming it is trained to be a tank. A little word of advise for the Battle Tower: my friend and I tag battle all the time and I think we have a win streak of something like 7 rounds(it gets real tough about 3). We found it better to rotate teams. One round, you go in with let us just say Tauros, Salamence, Scyther and Umbreon. Next round we might go with Swellow, Togakiss, Jolteon and Starmie(These are just examples, we've never used this set before). We noticed that the next round, they bring guys the can counter the team you used before, so we started using teams that counter our counter! XD Sounded funny.

I hope I helped to some extent. Good luck in the Battle Tower Fireblast.

Okay right thanks. So it's gengar, garchomp and milotic one set I've decided, though item for garchomp still not yet decided. And the other set I will use Gallade, Skarmony and Regice. Need some more help with items though.

Haven't trained gallade, skarmony and regice yet though I'm thinking of training gallade in attack and speed,
Psycho Cut
Leaf Blade
Brick Break
Swords Dance

Skarmony
Ev trained in defense and hp
Drill Peck
Spikes
Whirlwind
Roost

Regice
Ev trained Sp defense and hp.
Ice Beam
Toxic
Rest
Sleep Talk
 

howdodo

will be the best
Gallade@Life Orb/Expert Belt
Adamant/Timid
-Swords Dance
-Psycho Cut
-Close Combat
-Night Slash

Skarmory@Leftovers
Impish
-Roost
-Spikes/Toxic Spikes
-Whirlwind/Roar
-Drill Peck/Brave Bird

Regice@?
Bold/Calm
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

The boltbeam combo on Regice will help you greatly, providing more type coverage along with a type of special sweeper. I'd suggest a different type of tank though, since you have a big weakness to fire. Maybe even replace Regice altogether for a true special sweeper.

The EV's could be changed a bit. Since Regice has tons of sp.d already, you might want to go for more def/hp. I think Skarmory is about right, and so is Gallade.

Also I can't think of a thing for Regice, so maybe something like a white herb...idk
 
Just a word of advice. Make sure you have a pokemon that can one hit KO kingler because otherwise the computer will just use guilltine 3 times in a row and kill your entire team. That Crap happened to me today and I just thought I'd give you a heads up.

It depends on the Chomp. Since the Garchomp has Swords Dance, it is better to not using Choice Band. A CB chomp is something like this:

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Adamant/Jolly Nature
~Stone Edge
~Earthquake
~Fire Fang
~Dragon Claw

a bit of info, Rock-type move + Ground-type move hits anything in the game for at least neutral damage.

Hand of Pain, Gengar does that and resists guillotine. So I'm fine on that. Skarmony has Sturdy ability. I guess I can use choice band and take away swords dance... though I still think Swords Dance is more Effective. i could clone it to make to different garchomp's I guess one the one mentioned witha expert belt seeing it hits 9 out of 17 types super effectively and another I'll give a choice scarf, take away it's speed ev's and place into hp and remove swords dance for stone edge.
