Moves for the set up/ Battle flow interpretation of Volcarona + Froslass lead, and Breloom + Metagross back.

1. Volcarona + Froslass; Volcarona Substitute, Froslass Spikes
2. Volcarona Whirl Wind threat/ Firey Dance, Froslass Spikes/ Destiny Bond if down to half or less. If Froslass dies then Metagross/Cloyster switch in
3. Volcarona Re-Substitute, Froslass Spikes (If not dead); (If dead) Volcarona Tail Wind, Metagross/Cloyster attack/shell smash
4. Volcarona (Probably Dead, or Firey Dance/ Whirl Wind if not) Metagross/Cloyster attacks
5. Breloom comes in for a late game sweep if we are 2 down :)

Back Party is usually Breloom, unless not very useful during team preview. Volcarona is also always chosen. The team mostly rely's on it's Whirl Wind and Tail Wind set up, which Volcarona has along with some attacking and substitute power. However, Skarmory can carry Entry Hazard and Volcarona's set up at once. However it will take longer for Skarmory to set up. As Froslass is switch to Skarmory, and Metagross is switch to Cloyster. These four pokemon mostly fit the role of it's switch.

Pretty solid team, except that you seemed to overlook that standard doubles battle only allow the use of four Pokémon. Anyways, general suggestions for your team:
Breloom: I would suggest swapping Drain Punch for Focus Punch or Substitute for Bulk Up. In my experience Breloom enjoys boosts more than most other Pokémon, unless it has the power of something like Focus Punch. Sub+Drain Punch is kinda pointless because you already get a subs worth of HP every two turns.

Ambipom: Completely outclassed by Mienshao in every way. Fake Out might not be as powerful, but every other move Mienshao uses can dish out way more damage than Ambipom can. Acrobatics destroys most fighting types, and its fighting STAB can deal a ton of damage to just about everything.

Cloyster: Focus Sash over White Herb. The restored defenses aren't really worth it, because things like Rotom-W can take +2 Cloyster's hits for days anyways and OHKO in return with Thunderbolt. Focus Sash guarantees you'll get your boost up (and most likely a kill)
