3 Man Team Advice?
 
Hi. I'm trying to make a 3 man Pokemon Y team for competitive single battles. This is my team so far:

Gengar-
Nature: Timid
Ev: 6 hp, 252 spa, 252 spe
Item: Gengarite
  • Shadow Ball
    Dazzling Gleam
    Thunderbolt
    ???

Crobat-
Nature: Adamant
Ev: 6 hp, 252 atk, 252 spe
Item: None
  • Acrobatics
    Fly
    Haze
    U-Turn

Scizor-
Nature: Adamant
Ev: 252 hp, 252 atk, 6 spe
Item: Choice Band
  • Bullet Punch
    U-Turn
    Swords Dance
    ???

Now I'm contemplating switching out Mega Gengar for Mega Tyranitar because Gengar is really delecate and is easily out-sped by protean Greninja's and priority shadow sneak. What do you guys think? Should I switch those two? Any other insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mega Gengar should make the most out of its new Shadow Tag ability. It shouldn't just hammer at walls with offensive moves alone because there's a risk it can be crippled by status. All-out offense is still viable in itself, tough Also remember that Mega Gengar outspeeds Greninja:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast
-Perish Song/Destiny Bond
-Substitute/Taunt/Protect
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Gengarite

or
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast
-Substitute/Taunt
-Disable/Hypnosis
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Gengarite

or
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Gengarite

Infiltrator got buffed in Gen VI to let Crobat hit through Substitutes. Take advantage of this by making Crobat into a stallbreaker. Fly is too unreliable and predictable:
-Brave Bird
-Taunt
-U-turn/Toxic
-Roost
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 120 HP/136 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator

Note that Choice Band leaves Scizor locked into one move while it's in battle, so Swords Dance and Choice Band should be separate:
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Brick Break
-Pursuit/Quick Attack
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

or
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor
-Brick Break
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Technician
