Mawile is too slow to run max Speed; it only needs enough to outrun Aegislash, Scizor and Azumarill. While it's tempting to run Stone Edge for Charizard Y and Talonflame, it's not worth it and Mawile loses to them anyways, though it can hit the former with Sucker Punch:
-Play Rough
-Sucker Punch
-Iron Head/Knock Off
-Swords Dance/Substitute
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 132 HP/252 Atk/124 Spe
Item: Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate

or
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Play Rough/Iron Head
-Sucker Punch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 172 HP/252 Atk/84 Spe
Item: Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate

or
-Play Rough
-Foul Play
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate

Scolipede's EV spread is inefficient. Maxing out HP takes priority over a defensive stat as a general rule of thumb. Use the EV spread of 240 HP/92 Def/176 Spe. This lets Scolipede outspeed +Speed Garchomp pre-Speed Boost. Also, Mental Herb > Leftovers, since your current Scolipede set is screwed over by Taunt.

Breloom is better off using a Technician set; Toxic Orb sets are outclassed by Gliscor (and a lesser extent, Zangoose):
-Bullet Seed
-Mach Punch
-Rock Tomb
-Spore
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
Ability: Technician

Ice Beam is redundant with Latias' Dragon STAB. Honestly, the only thing that Latias has over Latios is Healing Wish, which lets it fully restore a weakened teammate at the cost of KOing Latias. Hazard:
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock
-Defog
-Healing Wish
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Cloyster is terrible now. With the priority flying around in OU, it's hard for it to set up Shell Smash and sweep. Just use Wash Rotom over it to help against opposing Talonflame:
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Will-o-Wisp
-Rest/Pain Split
Nature: Bold/Calm
EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe (Bold) or 248 HP/216 SDef/44 Spe (Calm)
Item: Chesto Berry/Leftovers

or
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Hidden Power (Ice)/Will-o-Wisp
-Trick/Thunderbolt
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
