Your team is very weak to Flying, Ghost, Dark, Electric, Psychic, and Ice. Too many of your Pokemon share common weaknesses so it is going to be hard making safe switch ins.
Your team is really on the slow side as well. Nothing on your team is capable of revenge killing the opponent because of this hindrance.
In terms of team synergy, not much of it really exist since every Pokemon is trying to set up. You really shouldn't overdo it by carrying 4 Pokemon that have set up moves. Ludicolo really doesn't fit on this team, neither does Gothitelle.
Hypnosis has a very low accuracy which means that this set up has a high risk of failing. It isn't a bad idea but if you don't pull it off, it has hard to regain momentum.
By the way, if you have Toxic Spikes up, you can't put the opponent to sleep...
The Rain Dish Ludicolo isn't a bad idea but an easy fast sweeper can come in and remove him with no trouble. Pokemon like Gengar, Staraptor, Accelgor, Nidoking and Ambipom easily mow through Ludicolo.
But then again, this team is just against your friend so the only recommendation I give you is to drop Toxic Spikes for regular Spikes on Garbodor and Dragon Dance over Dragon Tail on Gyarados. Give Sawk a Salac Berry so when he gets pulled down to Sturdy, you can gain a speed boost and effectively sweep. Leech Seed and Protect over Ice Beam and Giga Drain on Ludicolo if you're going for a bulky set or switch Rain Dish for Swift Swim and give Ludicolo a Life Orb.
Run Shadow Tag instead of Competitive on Gothitelle so you will have an easier time setting up screens if you make a good switch. Try running Psyshock and Thunder Wave over Thunderbolt and Calm Mind, trust me you will get more out of it. Zoom Lens over Leftovers on Spiritomb if you want to use this strategy. Zoom Lens makes it so that the accuracy of Hypnosis gets boosted by 20%
