Couple of Fixes:

Endeavor > Flare Blitz or CC on Infernape. Since you'll almost always be leading with Ape and rocks are the priority, Endeavor allows you to criplle sweepers and walls alike. CC has its merits of beaking past mons such as Sub Roost Kyurem, while Flare Blitz has the suicidal recoil, meaning you can always prevent Blastoise / Tentacruel / Forretress from getting an easy spin. However, Endeavor almost always beats Flare Blitz when it comes to crippling a spinner.

On Snorlax, use the smogon set and spread. Earthquake is really useless when you have Hydreigon and Blastoise, two good checks to this mon.

Tbh, i dont really know if Doublade fits in this spot. You already have a good enough answer to Chandy in the form of Hydreigon. You can keep Doublade, or use either SD Lucario (it lets you currently revenge kill MPidgeot, something you dont have an answer to) or SD Magnet Rise Cobalion (Mamo os a threat as is Krookodile). Coba can also run Shuca Berry if you want Sub over Magnet Rise.

Hydreigon needs EVs and a Nature. Also there is NO reason to run Earth Power over Dark Pulse. Revert back to Dark Pulse asap.

Cresselia being a set up mon kind of ruins any walling capability it has, especially since it is running a berry and not leftovers. I suggest running the support TWave set, with Lefties being the preferred item, even though Colbur Berry is ok i guess

OK, heres what I would change about your team

Infernape @Focus Sash
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 SpDef / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- U-Turn
Infernape has a pretty good speed stat, so it can function as a lead very well, U-Turn is for switching. Mach Punch was pretty much useless as most leads wont outspeed.

Snorlax @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Curse
- Rest
Great set, I see no problem with it and you should keep it

Blastoise-Mega @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Mega Launcher
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Surf/Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse/Dragon Pulse

I replaced Rapid Spin because none of your team is gonna suffer too much from Rocks/Spikes. Those two are just coverage, you can keep Rapid Spin if you want but I think it would be better. Water Pulse is too weak even from Mega Launcher Boost, Surf or Hydro Pump should be your STAB

Doublade @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head/Toxic
- Shadow Sneak
- Protect
- Swords Dance

Doublade is built to stay in, not exactly sweep. Swords Dance is nice and the Shadow Sneak does a lot after +2.
Shadow Claw does not have priority, being swept away by Infernape, Entei, Nidoking etc before it has a chance to use it

Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 SpA/ 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Ability: Levitate
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Fire Blast

Come on? Why would you run Hydregion with a Choice Scarf with no Dark Pulse? It's good STAB and chance to flinch, U-Turn was useless as it would normally be locked into Drac or DarkPulse, It wastes a slot for a good move.

Cresselia (F) @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 68 SpA / 32 SpD
Bold Nature
- Psyshock
- Thunder Wave
- Moonlight
- Calm Mind

Changed investments for EVs a bit, this will take Dark Pulse and Shadow Balls better. Moonblast was just asking to be replaced, TWave has utility and cripples sweepers

Anyways, this is just my opinion, you can choose to reject. OK, have fun battling!
