I think I'll go with the So Defense Rotom-W. Would you have any recommendations for a physical wall? Or is a special wall all I'll need?

You'll probably wanna run a physical wall as well. Several good ones exist:

-Skarmory w/Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Attack
Moves: Brave Bird, Roost, Whirlwind, Spikes

-Trevenant w/Sitrus Berry
Nature: Impish/Adamant
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP, 240 Defense, 18 Speed
Moves: Leech Seed, Will-o-Wisp, Protect/Substitute, Shadow Claw

-Gourgeist (Super Size) w/Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Sp.Defense
Moves: Shadow Sneak, Leech Seed, Will-o-Wisp, Seed Bomb

There's a few more, but I'm not sure if they'd fit well on your team so far.

Physically defensive Wash Rotom is preferred because of Talonflame running around. Note that its Water STAB may be weakened because of Charizard Y's Drought:
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Will-o-Wisp
-Pain Split/Rest
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe
Item: Leftovers/Chesto Berry

Roost is a possible option for Charizard Y since it can heal itself from damage in battle (particularly from Stealth Rock) with it:
-Fire Blast
-Solar Beam
-Dragon Pulse/Focus Blast
-Earthquake/Roost
Nature: Hasty/Mild/Modest/Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite Y

Excadrill now has the option to use Iron Head as a secondary STAB move:
-Earthquake
-Iron Head/Rock Slide
-Rapid Spin
-Swords Dance/Stealth Rock
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Air Balloon/Chople Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker

or
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rock Slide/Shadow Claw/X-Scissor
-Rapid Spin
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker

or
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rock Slide/Shadow Claw
-Rapid Spin
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/136 Atk/24 SDef/100 Spe
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker

Trevenant uses 76 Speed EVs to outspeed Tyranitar and Scizor so that it can burn them before they can do anything. Also, here are better sets; one in particular can go specially defensive to better handle Starmie and Mega Blastoise:
-Horn Leech/Wood Hammer
-Earthquake/Rock Slide
-Will-o-Wisp
-Rest
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/180 Def/76 Spe
Item: Leftovers/Lum Berry
Ability: Natural Cure/Harvest

or
-Horn Leech
-Shadow Claw/Leech Seed
-Will-o-Wisp
-Protect
Nature: Careful
EVs: 244 HP/16 Def/248 SDef
Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest

or
-Substitute
-Leech Seed
-Will-o-Wisp
-Phantom Force
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/180 Def/76 Spe
Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest

Have to agree with pirouette; Latias definitely makes a good Defog user. Here's a moveset for it:

Latias @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Defog

If you like, you may try Crobat as well:

Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
Nature: Jolly
176 HP / 192 Atk / 4 SDef / 136 Spe
- Defog
- Taunt
- Brave Bird
- U-Turn

For your Charizard i would put the 4 EVs into HP instead of Attack. Although this is a minor suggestion those 4 EV's are better utilized in HP.

I kinda like Volt Switch over T-Wave on your Rotom-W, and Horn Leech over Wood Hammer on Trev (i believe it gets that move)

Also, for your fifth & sixth slot on the team you could try Skarmory and Togekiss.

Skarmory
Impish
252 HP/252 Def/4 Speed
Lum berry/leftovers
Brave bird
Whirlwind
Spikes
Roost

Skarm can be your main phaser and really shines as a defensive tank.

Togekiss
Kings Rock
Bold
252 HP/252 Def/4 Sp.Def

Thunder Wave
Dazzling Gleam
Air Slash
Roost

I normally dont suggest Kings Rock on Pokemon but para-flinch Togekiss is nothing to laugh at. You can easily cripple the opposing pokemon and take them out with air slash as they have a slim chance of hitting back.
I may be bad, but i'm perfectly good at it.

Alright thanks, I was actually thinking of a togekiss so I can handle dragon types. And if I get skarmory should I use him to start off because he has more of a set up move set?
