I used this team in the past and wanted to know if it was even as good as it seemed, this is double's by the way,

by
This doubles team looks like it was made for singles. Entry hazards are not very good in doubles, and you need to use Protect more often. Search specifically for doubles sets next time you're teambuilding.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, there is no monotype doubles ladder anywhere. So unless you're playing with friends, you're just handicapping yourself by playing monotype.
Yeah, I forgot to get rid of skarmory while making this team, I was thinking of replacing it with heatran to take care of my fire weakness. This was originally just with friends but wanted to see if it would work well in competitive.
Edit: looking over the team again it does look better for singles.. I'll keep skarmory then.

Okay, my immediate response is this.

First of all, the team setup is brilliant. The use of Scizor is incredible. Brilliant recovery moveset and Bronzor is another solid choice (no pun intended, seeing as they are all steel types). The only major complaint I have is the use of Magearna, a Mythical Pokemon. If I'd recommend a change, I'd believe it or not prefer Wormadam with a Trash Cloak and holding a Focus Band. The only reason why is because it can learn moves such as Psychic and Quiver Dance which can build a load of pressure on the opponent, so have a Twisted Spoon for aggression and if you feel lucky, otherwise, the Focus Band would be the safest choice.

Why is Magearna a problem? OP wasn't clear about their precise battle format, so you can just assume it's allowed.
If this is simply a personal objection to using mythical Pokemon, then don't enforce that on other people and pass it off as advice. (Focus Band Wormadam is definitely not an adequate replacement either way.)
Focus Band and Twisted Spoon aren't good items competitively.
Focus Sash is definitely better than Focus Band.
