Pretty solid team in its own sense but some suggestions (These are personal opinions please don't take offence)

I'm not sure what approach you're taking with your Drifblim. There is no priority on destiny bond so unless you're faster than the Pokémon which is potentially OHK-ing you then its a wasted move set.
You could always switch it out for a speed boost Sharpedo as it can run the same idea. I cannot tell you how many times I've been destiny bonded by a Sharpedo and lost my sweeper.

  • Your Zoroark is pretty good, it looks like it'll do what it needs to do however I would recommend taking the focus sash as it'll only work with full health maybe an expert belt or something that'll boost its attack power

Linoone isn't really a Pokémon that can hold its own in OU too often but the set you're running is pretty good. I can only recommend taking protect off as when you're holding the Toxic orb you're putting a timer on life as it is...with protect you're missing a turn to deal damage but still taking some yourself.
If you want to have a silly Pokémon on your team that will make people rage then can I suggest a Lanturn instead of Linoone?
Stockpile / Aqua Ring / Charge Beam / Ice Beam

>Charge Beam almost guarantees a SpAtk increase at 70% chance
>Aqua ring with leftovers and you've got reliable recovery.
>Stockpile, who doesn't like bulk?
>Ice Beam for coverage

Its a pretty obvious set. First three turns stockpile or First turn Aqua ring, next two stockpile. Spam Charge Beam and then Sweep

  • I would strongly recommend replacing Omastar for Cloyster as a shell smasher. despite not getting scald it does have access to skill link and rock blast and other 5 hit moves.
    Omastar may have access to earth power but you already have coverage for most of the types you hit with that

-Azumarill is one of the most common threats on an unprepared team. But I'm not sure why you're running Soak? Yeah its going to stop them getting stab Thunder or something but you're running attacks which are neutral against water types...and if you were to switch into ampharos continuously to deal with them that way then you'd lose your mega early on.

I'd recommend a sweeping Azumarill as your team is pretty silly so
Adamant/Huge power / Holding Sitrus berry
252atk / 252hp / 4def
Belly Drum, Aqua jet, play rough, waterfall

Azumarill is one of the few Pokémon that can belly drum and trigger sitrus berry effect in the same turn so it allows for aqua jet to either OHKO or 2KO

-Finally you cant go wrong with a mega in my opinion, They definitely are game changers and ampharos looks so cool.
However, if you're running agility on your Ampharos then you can remove some If not all EVs from speed into SpD or Def or HP to make it a little bulkier.
Other than that its a pretty cool set to run...maybe put power gem on to counter ice types?

-I'm looking back through the notes I've made and the suggestions basically makes this into a mono water type team...I don't normally like water types but clearly my opinions have been changed by something...
Following this logic maybe switch out Mega Ampharos for a Mega Gyarados with:
Dragon Dance/Stone Edge/Waterfall/Earthquake
Its not too impressive to look at but set up a Dragon Dance and Mega turn one and you've got coverage for its weaknesses as well as Stab waterfall
