    • First of all, you don't need Electivire on your team, you don't have any pokemon that can bait an electric move to boost his Speed.
    Also, Cross chop and Earthquake are cover by Mamoswine.
    However, you need a special pokemon with an electric move.
    I will go with this:
    Zapdos - Calm
    Levitate - Leftovers
    248 HP/228 Sp. DEF/32 Speed
    - Thunderbolt
    - Roost
    - Thunder Wave
    - Hidden Power Grass/Heat Wave

    Use the special defense set to counter special move.
    Thunder Wave will help Metagross and Kingdra to do a better sweep.
    As last move, you should use Hidden Power grass to beat Swampert(as you don,t have any pokemon that can really beat it).
    However, if you prefer Heat Wave, you can go with this.

    Kingdra should run a Naughty nature (ATK +, Sp. DEF -)
    If you want to use Draco Meteor, adamant will only reduce the power of Draco Meteor.
    it is better to reduce the Sp. DEF of Kingdra than his DEF because his only weakness is dragon move and Outrage and Dragon Claw a little more used than Dragon pulse and Draco Meteor.

    For Dusknoir, you should replace Earthquake by Shadow Sneak.
    Metagross and Mamoswine already have Earthquake and they are better to use that move than Dusknoir.
    Shadow Sneak will give him a STAB and it has priority, which is good due of his low speed stat.

    Agreeing with the fact that Electivire is useless on this team. But don't use that Zapdos moveset, it's too defensive for this team. Use Jolteon instead:

    Jolteon @Life Orb/Choice Specs
    Timid Nature
    4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

    -Thunderbolt
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power Grass
    -Signal Beam

    The beauty is that Jolteon also absorbs Electric moves and isn't weak to Stealth Rock, unlike Zapdos.

    Don't use Dusknoir on this team. You're not relying on entry hazards, so you don't need a spin blocker that badly.
    A Fighting immunity can be useful though, so use this:

    Starmie @Life Orb
    Timid Nature
    4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Natural Cure

    -Surf
    -Thunderbolt
    -Ice Beam
    -Recover

    Starmie counters Infernape and Heatran, whose use will skyrocket over the coming weeks after Salamence's ban. Rapid Spin is another option, but your team isn't Stealth Rock weak so it's not totally important.

    Your team is mostly focused on offense, so sweeping is what you should be concentrating on.

    Focus on a core of two or three sweepers first.

    Kingdra is a great sweeper so you can definitely use that. It should be partnered with something that resists Dragon. Metagross does, but Metagross is weak to Ground which Kingdra doesn't resist. Instead of Choice Band Metagross, use Choice Band Scizor instead.

    Scizor @Choice Band
    Adamant Nature
    248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd

    -Bullet Punch
    -U-Turn
    -Superpower
    -Pursuit

    Scizor's only 4x Fire weakness is covered by Kingdra's 4x Fire resistance.

    These two Pokemon have trouble with Suicune, Empoleon, and Skarmory, but that's what Jolteon is for.

    Dual Screens can really help your team out since it's so offensive. Azelf can set up these screens rather easily.

    Azelf @Light Clay
    252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
    Jolly Nature

    -Reflect
    -Light Screen
    -Stealth Rock
    -Explosion/U-Turn

    Also on Mamoswine, replace Choice Band with Life Orb. Mamoswine is rather easy to predict since it always uses the same moves, so using Life Orb prevents you from getting stuck into using a resisted move.

    In short:

    *Change Azelf's moveset
    *Replace Electivire with Jolteon
    *Replace Dusknoir with Starmie
    *Replace Metagross with Scizor
    *Life Orb over Choice Band on Mamoswine

    Hope these changes and suggestions help. Good luck!
