Well, Primarina and Oricorio can't really do much against Electric. Metagross and Salazzle are weak to ground. Goodra can't do really well on fairies and  other dragons. And Comfey is weak to Poison and Steel. Also, Comfey instead of having a Support/Healer/Staller should have at least one attack. Maybe Dazzling Gleam, or Petal Dance, Play Rough, etc. Goodra should have coverage attacks like poison, fire, and others. I highly recommend Iron Tail! Oricorio should get Steel Wing. At least it covers rock and ice. Also, Metagross should have Ice Punch(Cover Ground) or Earthquake(Cover Fire) or Hammer Arm (Cover Dark)  Primarina should have Psychic and/or Acrobatics. I can't really think of what should be used to cover for Salazzle. Hope this helped a little!
Thanks so much! I just realised UB's will be in VGC17 so I'm making a new team to include them

Ok, here are a few improvements.
The Salazar is an all in all good set, but it could pair nicely with a follow me/rage powder poke. This would allow it to set up Nasty plot. Either that or invest some evs in health, def, and spdef.
Metagross could use a bullet punch instead of Earthquake. Earthquake would damage all non-oricorio allies.
Primarily with Sing is way too risky. The Wide lens could be replaced with either a life orb or leftovers.
And finally, and item for Oricorio. I'm thinking Rocky Helmet or Life Orb. Life Orb is self-explanatory. Rocky Helmet because your special defenses are good, and Rocky Helmet could ward off physical attacks.

Hope I helped!

If Salazzle was given EVs in defensive stats, it would still be OHKO'd by most attacks.
Thanks for the advice!
