Scizor @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- Superpower

Luxray @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Volt Switch
- Ice Fang
- Superpower
- Crunch

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- Grass Knot

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
- King's Shield
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head

Blaziken @ Blazikenite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Flare Blitz
- High Jump Kick
- Stone Edge

Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Dragon Tail

I usually lead with Greninja and Luxray for the coverage and intimidate. With Blaziken I typically use protect and go mega so that I can capitalize on the speed boost. Aegislash with weakness policy wrecks most teams. Goodra is a good switch in to a special sweeper with assault vest. Scizor is in my opinion the weakest link, but he still makes a good revenge killer. I have problems with flying types and trick room teams though. Please advise.

Change Aegislash nature you dont have any special attacks on him so no need for a +Special attack nature
That was actually an error from when I transferred the text from Smogon. Mine is brave.

Is this a cartridge team or a Showdown! team?

Scizor is too bulky for Focus Sash. Its Mega Evolution does better than its regular form unless it's the Choice Band variant:
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor/Bug Bite/Brick Break/Knock Off
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/44 Atk/116 Def/108 SDef or 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef
Item: Scizorite/Leftovers
Abiilty: Light Metal/Technician

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

or
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower/Brick Break
-Pursuit/Knock Off
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

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

Luxray sucks, big-time. Mega Manectric has Intimidate as well, but it packs better Speed and offensive presence. Using Mega Manectric means finding other items besides Scizorite and Focus Sash for Scizor to use; the Choice Band Scizor pairs well with Mega Manectric, due to forming the Volt-Turn core:
-Thunderbolt
-Volt Switch
-Overheat
-Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod

For Greninja, it needs Hydro Pump over Surf for the extra power. The accuracy may be a hassle, but Greninja needs all the power it can get, since 103 Special Attack isn't the best stat. Extrasensory is also a must-have, as it lets Greninja get past Mega Venusaur (whose Thick Fat ability makes Ice Beam a neutrality on it):
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Extrasensory
-Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Fire/Grass)/Grass Knot/Spikes
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Protean

Aegislash is banned to Ubers. Gengar is an acceptable substitute:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave
-Focus Blast/Thunderbolt
-Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Taunt/Disable/Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave/Focus Blast
Nature: Timid
EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/80 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

If this is a cartridge team, Aegislash should run the below sets, as the Swords Dance + King's Shield set is easily crippled and walled:
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak/Iron Head
-Sacred Sword/Iron Head/Pursuit
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag/Air Balloon

or
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Shadow Ball
-King's Shield
Nature: Modest
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-Flash Cannon/Pursuit
-Sacred Sword
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-Shadow Claw/Iron Head
-Sacred Sword/Head Smash
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

If you're using Mega Manectric, give Blaziken Life Orb and go max Attack/max Speed to outspeed as much as possible.

I use this team both on showdown and (when I get the missing pokemon) on cartridge. I like a lot of your advice, but the problem is your solutions cause 3 different pokemon to all hold a life orb. That isn’t a team.

It's still a team if multiple Pokemon hold the same items. Do you play under item clause? Item clause is a totally optional thing in Showdown! and non-Battle Spot battles.
