Overall this seems like a very balanced team. It's built around speed and weakness control. I like the idea of a special Lucario to, as you said, not be so shaken by Intimidates or burns.
About the Kingdra, I would personally run Disable instead of Ice Beam, although the 4x damage on many major threats such as M-Salamence and Landorus-T is tempting. Kingdra does have moves to cover both of those two though. You might have to try that Kingdra out and see how it works for you, to see which move would come in more handy!
If you want to check the Politoed EVs with a calculator, I would suggest checking how it survives a Giga Drain from Mega Venusaur (both defensive and offensive) as well as Thunderbolt from a Life Orb or Expert Belt Modest Zapdos. Seeing a Politoed in the team preview can easily lure in Zapdos - especially if they're running Thunder (which isn't all that common, but could happen). That could be a good reference Pokémon to start from.
