Let me try my skills again.
Lumineon@Damp Rock
Hasty Nature
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Ice Beam/Psybeam
-U-Turn
Rain Dance and Surf are the key moves.
Ice Beam gives you a chance to hit Grass-Types.
U-Turn to get out of there.
Ampharos@Damp Rock
Modest Nature
-Rain Dance
-Thunder
-Signal Beam
-HP Ice/Water (If your EVs work)/Focus Blast
Rain Dance and Thunder again are the key area.
Signal Beam for some coverage.
HP Ice to hit Ground.
HP Water gets its attack boosted.
If you can't get those, use Focus Blast.
Frosslass@Wise Glasses/Choice Specs
Modest/Timid Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic
Really great coverage with this set.
I personally don't like to keep on changing the weather that often. I'd stick with using Rain as your only one.
Flygon@Life Orb
Jolly Nature
-Roost
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-U-Turn/Stone Edge
Again, don't change the weather so often.
Roost to get rid of damage caused by the Life Orb.
Dragon Claw and Earthquake are for STAB.
U-Turn to get in a free hit.
Stone Edge to hit Ice-Types.
Drapion@Scope Lens
Jolly/Adamant
-Cross Poison
-Night Slash
-Slash/X-Scissor
-Ice Fang
Cross Poison and Night Slash for STAB.
Slash can be packed in as well, X-Scissor gives you more coverage.
Ice Fang to Hit Ground-Types.
Typhlosion@Wise Glasses
Modest
-Eruption
-Flamethrower
-Focus Blast
-HP Grass/Water/Ground
Eruption is its most powerful move.
Flamethrower for when Typhlosion gets hit.
Focus Blast and HP Grass/Water/Ground are for coverage.
Agian, don't change the weather all the time.
Hope that helped.

Since your flygon is sentimental, I recommend changing it for either steel or dark types, maybe steelix? I'm a bit new, but I recommend you change the flygon for something resisting to ground type...i'd say empoleon but you already have three water-ice pokemon. If you got rid of the lumineon, you could stick in a strong psychic/electric type [for variety]

Flygon has Levitate -- it's entirely immune to ground-type moves. I don't think it's necessary to change it if that's the main concern.
Team without GROUND-type
I weep great tears;
death by pikachu.
As sentimental as Flygon is, I'm under the impression that it's actually pretty good. Obviously, if I'm wrong, I'd like to know why. I could understand a recommendation to pick up a steel type, but not so much a dark-- Drapion is half dark, after all. And what are my three water/ice types? I count two: Lumineon (water) and Froslass (ice/ghost). And... I already have a decent electric type: Ampharos is no legendary, but it should hit pretty hard. The biggest gap I can feel is just not having a psychic-type for delicious STAB, but there aren't any psychics I haven't used before.
Quick question, if anyone happens to know: Will U-Turn pass on Aqua Ring to the next pokemon to come out, or no?

It's not the main concern. I don't mean to sound stuck up, know that.
I THINK the main concern is that there are 3 ice-water types w/o some variety in there. If you changed flygon with, say, Carnivine, you'd get levitate + the super-effective to ground moveset. (Solarbeam, Sunny Day, Grass Knot, Synthesis)Still confused as to why you're saying there's 3 ice/waters...
Ampharos: ELC
Drapion: DRK/PSN
Flygon: DGN/GND
Froslass: ICE/GHT
Lumineon: WTR
Typhlosion: FIR
And as I attempted to indicate with my bastardized haiku, I'm not giving up having a ground type on my team, because I tend to get smushed into the carpet by any ol' electric type otherwise.
