  • You might want a Galvantula as your opener.

    Just get off Sticky Web and you're in pretty good shape to sweep.

    Galvantula with Sticky Web, Volt Switch, Thunder, Bug Buzz.
    Ability: CompoundEyes
    Item: Focus Sash
    EVs:252 speed, 252 spATK, 4 HP
    Nature: The one that decreases attack and increases speed. (Most likely Jolly or Timid)

    CompoundEyes helps your STAB Thunder's accuracy so it can hit pretty hard and misses not too often. Your Focus Sash is to help you survive a hit and lay down the Sticky Web for sweeping purposes. Volt Switch is pretty nice for switching and Bug Buzz is a STAB move that can hit through Substitute. This guy is mainly used for Sticky Web to make sweeping a whole lot easier.

    You now have 2 rock weaknesses and 1 quad rock weakness.
    You also have 1 fire weakness and 1 quad fire weakness.

    The disadvantage of having Galvantula is your team's rock weaknesses.
    (It's my first time posting in competitive so I hope I done something right)

    You're referring to Timid here.

    Anyway, sets for each Pokemon.

    Infernape is one of the best mixed attackers:
    -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz
    -Close Combat
    -Thunder Punch
    -Mach Punch/Hidden Power (Ice)/Grass Knot
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 168 Atk/88 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Iron Fist

    Greninja's Protean ability should be taken advantage of:
    -Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam
    -Extrasensory
    -Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Fire/Grass)/Grass Knot/Spikes
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Protean

    Snorlax is best played as an Assault Vester, though it faces competition from Conkeldurr for the role:
    -Return/Body Slam
    -Earthquake
    -Fire Punch/Crunch
    -Self-Destruct/Pursuit/Wild Charge
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/252 SDef/4 Spe
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Thick Fat

    Mega Scizor is so bulky; take advantage of that:
    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Knock Off/Bug Bite/X-Scissor
    -Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 248 HP/44 Atk/116 Def/100 SDef
    Item: Scizorite
    Ability: Technician

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Knock Off/Bug Bite/X-Scissor/U-turn
    -Superpower/Brick Break/U-turn
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Scizorite
    Ability: Technician

    or
    -Bullet Punch
    -U-turn/Superpower/Knock Off
    -Defog
    -Roost
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 248 HP/8 Atk/252 Def
    Item: Scizorite
    Ability: Technican

    Talonflame:
    -Swords Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -Brave Bird
    -Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Sharp Beak/Sky Plate
    Ability: Gale Wings

    or
    -Flare Blitz
    -Brave Bird
    -U-turn
    -Roost/Tailwind
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Sharp Beak/Sky Plate/Choice Band
    Ability: Gale Wings

    or
    -Bulk Up
    -Brave Bird
    -Roost
    -Taunt/Will-o-Wisp
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Gale Wings

    This team needs some form of hazards. Given the team's offensive nature, Skarmory is the best pick in the last slot, though it shares a Fire weakness with Scizor; it also provides Defog support for Talonflame:
    -Whirlwind
    -Roost
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes/Brave Bird
    -Defog/Brave Bird
    Nature: Impish/Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef or 252 HP/16 Def/240 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Sturdy

    Don't think about using that Infernape suicide lead set. It was effective in previous gens, but it's not as effective now, thanks to team preview and priority everywhere. Stick to the mixed set I suggested.

    Fairies are better checks to Dragons because of their Dragon immunity; if you use your own Dragons, they may end up taking supereffective damage from their own type. You also have Scizor for tanking any incoming Dragon moves, as it resists Dragon.

    Anyway, the best Fairies to use on this team are Azumarill, Clefable, Togekiss and Sylveon; one should go over Snorlax, since I don't think it's doing much for the team:

    Azumarill:
    -Waterfall
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Knock Off/Superpower
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe
    Item: Choice Band/Mystic Water/Splash Plate
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Belly Drum
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Waterfall/Superpower
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Waterfall
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Knock Off
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 16 HP/252 Atk/240 SDef
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Huge Power

    Clefable:
    -Calm Mind
    -Moonblast
    -Moonlight/Wish
    -Heal Bell/Aromatherapy/Protect/Flamethrower/Stored Power
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef

    -Heal Bell/Aromatherapy/Thunder Wave/Stealth Rock
    Nature: Bold

    -Thunder Wave
    -Soft-Boiled/Moonlight
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Magic Guard

    Togekiss:
    -Thunder Wave
    -Air Slash
    -Heal Bell/Defog/Aura Sphere/Flamethrower
    -Roost
    Nature: Calm/Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef (Calm) or 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef (Bold)

    or
    -Hyper Voice

    I never said to replace Infernape. I only said to replace Snorlax. In that case, use Azumarill over Snorlax; it resists Fire moves. And don't forget that Infernape is too frail to take too many (resisted) hits; it can only take a resisted hit or two.
