First Team:
Take EQ off of Politoed, stick in Focus Blast. Also, it's a matter of opinion, but I think politoed works better as a support pokemon, something that you lack on the team.
It's worrying that you keep calm mind on Sylveon for "when they double protect". Don't bank on double protects. Players don't often want to risk the double protect since it can completely change the momentum of the game if it fails. They only do it when absolutely necessary. Watch the VGC 2013 Masters top 8 match if you want to see the situations people would use double protects in.
If you do decide to take the choice scarf off politoed, put it on Sylveon. Firing fast, strong hyper voices with a decently bulky pokemon like Sylveon works wonders.
Use protect on Landorus-T.
Team 2:
Again, it's a matter of opinion, but I think that life orb Excadrill is one of the best sets. Although that means you'll do less damage when leading with Hippowdon and Excadrill since you'll have to protect to avoid Hippowdon's EQ
Slack off is fine, I say keep it.
Definitely run Draco Meteor on Hydreigon.
Again, needs more support pokemon. Your only have Will-O-Wisp, you don't have speed control moves like icy wind, bulldoze, or tailwind(which I recommend over using quick guard on Talonflame)
Look out for Rotom-Wash and Gardevoir. They can do a lot of damage to your team if they're the opponent's leads and are used correctly. If the opponents has a Rotom-Wash, bring in Venusaur.
6/10 on both. They're a little to offensive. VGC teams benefit a lot from having support pokemon as well as hyper offensive pokemon. Pick either one or a combination of both depending on the team preview
