You don't really NEED the numbers from Regirock...

Lets you hit 210 without a Band and lets Buzzwole and Quick Dive do 60 to KO small basics. It also lets you KO Decidueye with no Strong Energy. It's not needed but I think 1 is worth it.
 
3-3 for Lucario is overdoing it. I would maybe add to the N or Sycamore count by dropping the line to 2-2. Another potential option is an extra Guzma, since Garchomp's free retreat is great in conjunction with that card. Following that same logic, maybe you could drop a Float Stone in favor of another Choice Band?

The thing with running more supporters is that 9 turns out of 10 you will want to use Cynthia. Because of that, I think higher counts of Lucario and lower counts of other Supporters makes more sense than regular Supporter counts and 2-2 Lucario. Plus you have Pal Pad. I don't think 4 Band is needed but I do think you need 2 Floats.
 
Looks good to me! I get the reasoning for Regirock, but feel that between your Strong Energy and Choice Band you should hit hard enough without it. I personally would take it out for a second Brigette since you really need that T1 Brigette. Otherwise, looks really good to me!

That actually sounds like a good idea, I'll definitely try it :)
