Doubles is too much for me to try and learn at once now IMOWell, VGC is usually played by newbies which need to learn how a battle works because it's a brainless tier without a justified banlist or an elaborated set of clauses, so everyone can play with its rules; but if you feel more comfortable starting in BSS it's ok, never mind.
Hippodown and Chandelure are quite good in BSS and Raikou has a very very (veryveryveryvery) little niche, but Machamp's outclassed by Buzzwole, which is rarely preferred to other Fighting types. (Pheromosa, Breloom, Blaziken, MBlaziken, MLopunny, MLucario...) Regice and Barbacle aren't better at all, and putting them in a BSS team seems a waste of slots. Said this, you should rebuild from the beginning starting with Hippodown or Chandelure, and maybe insert Raikou later if you need to pay attention to Thundurus, wich is basically the only reason to use it instead of Koko, Thundurus or Xurkitree. This isn't entirely improbable, as Hippodown rarely can do something vs a Flying type, particularly if equipped with Grass Knot and/or Nasty Plot, and ScarfChandelure doesn't outspeed it after Agility and risks being OHKOed after SR.
