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)
Do you like Rayquaza?
Current games: Pokemon Glazed (postgame), Pokemon Sapphire

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

Yeah Garavantula Could be Great But My Infernape is My Lead Since it is Packed With Stealth Rock
And One More Thing Can U Suggest Good Bulky Dragon Since i Only Have one Check for dragons Which is Ice beam+Lifeorb Greninja
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
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Unaware/Magic Guard

or
-Wish
-Protect
-Moonblast
-Heal Bell/Aromatherapy/Thunder Wave/Stealth Rock

So Clefable Replacing Infernape and Snorlax Is Good he Help me alot to Block those Fire moves that are use against my Scizor
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.

So Snorlax Should be Out and What about that Spider
Don't use Galvantula; the team has enough Speed to get by. Use Skarmory in the last slot, as I mentioned earlier.
