imo If you're using Light Screen, you might as well use Reflect too. Put that on Magnezone over Toxic.

You don't need Aura Sphere and Close Combat. Lucario has such a wide movepool that it already struggles to put a moveset together. Use Shadow Ball over Close Combat. Ice Punch also provides better coverage than Dragon Pulse(albeit at the cost of some power) so you could use that instead.

Chandelure's attack stat is terrible. Use Calm Mind, Will-o-Wisp or Hidden Power [fighting/ground] if you happenned to get one of those types.

For Samurott
Use Aqua Jet instead of Grass Knot since it only covers Water and Aqua Jet allow Samurott to Attack first.

Well you have 3 pokemon vulnerable to Ground type moves and while Samurott and Flygon are good at taking them in I feel it'd help to have another check. Lucario and Magnezone are also both weak to Fighting, which only Chandelure can really take on, but a lot of fighting types hold rock moves anyway. So ideally you'd want a Flying type or a pokemon that has Levitate and resists Fighting. The best of the latter group consists of Gengar and a few mediocre things like Claydol so it'd be best to get a Flying type.

I duggest Gliscor. Despite being another Ground type he shares no weaknesses with Flygon bar the Ice weakness(which every other team member resists).

Gliscor
Jolly
Hyper Cutter / Poison Heal
-Swords Dance
-Acrobatics
-Earthquake
-Aqua Tail

Use you massive defence to help set up Swords Dance. Acrobatics and Earthquake are both very powerful STABs and Aqua Tail helps Gliscor set itself apart from Gliscor a bit more and hits Ground types hard.

Poison Heal is the ideala ability but if you can't get to the Dream World then I suggest Hyper Cutter.

Since you're playing Black 2, give Gliscor a Toxic Orb so he can heal. If you do go with this change, I'd replace Acrobatics with Protect.

If you don't go with this change, use a Flying Gem as the item and Hyper Cutter as the ability.

You have three Ice type and a Water type resist. You needn't worry about another weakness.
