So this is the team. I am open to suggestions, advice, or input. Please feel free to comment on how I can make this team better. Of the team the only 2 I want to keep for sure are the azumarill and manectric, other than that the other mons are open for change. Also, the ferrothorn will be used for hazard and I am thinking about switching him for T-Tar with stealth rocks. Please let me know what you think and how I can make this team better.

Thanks in advance

If you're using non-Mega Scizor, Choice Band is the way to go. Aerial Ace doesn't really do much for Scizor, tbh:
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower/Brick Break
-Pursuit/Knock Off
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

Mega Manectric absolutely needs HP Ice; otherwise it won't be able to deal with Dragon Pokemon. HP Ice is also its most reliable way of dealing with Gliscor and Therian Landorus without resorting to Overheat.

Latias doesn't really do a Specs role really well. Full-on offensive sets are better done by Latios. Also, always use a Timid nature on sweeping sets; with Modest, Latias and Latios fail to outspeed things like Mega Pinsir:

Latias:
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock/Thunderbolt
-Defog
-Healing Wish
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Latios:
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock
-Hidden Power (Fighting)/Thunderbolt/Earthquake
-Defog/Roost/Recover
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock
-Surf/Trick
-Hidden Power (Fire)/Trick
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

The last 28 EVs for Azumarill should go into Speed so that it outspeeds -Speed Tyranitar.

Ferrothorn is massive setup bait if it opts for both of its learnable hazards:
-Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed
-Power Whip
-Gyro Ball/Protect/Knock Off
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs

Thanks for the reply. The 28 EVs are on azumarills speed just a typo. And I will definitely try to get HP ice for manectric and also use your suggestions. Also, is it better to have guts or iron fist on conkeldurr or does it matter? I know the pros and cons of each but overall whats the better ability to run?

Guts is the superior ability so that Conkeldurr isn't crippled entirely by burn. It also punishes the opponent for recklessly throwing paralysis, poison and burn around.

Also, the preferred spread for Assault Vest Conkeldurr is 252 Atk/236 SDef/20 Spe. This lets it make the most out of its special bulk with Asssault Vest while outspeeding Hippowdon.
