Gardevoir analysis - is it viable?

Rate my VGC doubles team - been climbing the ladder with this!

I've been experimenting with a Trick Room team and it's been working surprisingly well. Here's the core:

Gardevoir @ Focus Sash

The main Trick Room setter. Focus Sash ensures I can get Trick Room up even against faster threats.

Snorlax @ Assault Vest

Under Trick Room, Snorlax becomes an absolute monster. The coverage is great and Body Slam's paralysis chance can be clutch.

Looking for suggestions on the remaining four slots. What would complement this core well?
