It seems like you spent a lot of time researching before putting together your team! I'll make a few suggestions for what's it worth.
First, I'd replace Clawitzer with another Pokémon. You already have one Water-type Pokémon in Jellicent so Clawitzer isn't adding anything when it comes to move coverage besides Dark Pulse. Plus, it's makes it easier for your opponent's Electric- and Grass-type Pokémon. Amoongus would be a solid choice seeing as how it's Rage Powder can help Jellicent successfully get off Trick Room while also providing Grass and Poison coverage on your team.
I'm not a huge fan of Weavile when it comes to Trick Room teams, namely because Weavile is known for it's high speed stat. I understand wanting a Fake Out user, but outside of that it's not going to be doing much work once Trick Room is up. I'd suggest Conkeldurr. Throw an Assault Vest on it, give it Mach Punch, Drain Punch, Ice Punch, and Knock Off and he will provide plently of offensive pressure.
I like Togekiss, but again, using it for Tailwind support in a Trick Room team is counterproductive. Plus, even if you don't get Trick Room up and you use Tailwind, the majority of your Pokémon are so slow to begin with that it's not going to help them outspeed much. I'd recomment another Trick Room user like Gothitelle or Reuniclus. If Jellicent goes down, it's nice to have another Trick Room user. Since your team relies on it so heavily, I'd say that it's a necessity to have two Trick Room users.
Hopefully some of my suggestions help! Glad to see a new VGC battler!
