EVs: 156 HP, 72 Attack, 96 Defense, 180 Sp.Defense, 4 Speed
Moves: Waterfall, Bounce, Dragon Dance, Taunt

lols at Mach and Drain Punch, and Knock Off/Ice Punch/Poison Jab aren't terribly damaging either:

Manectric @ Manectite

EVs: 128 SpA / 252 Spe / 128 Def
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch

Mega Manectric's Intimidate will lower the Gyarados's attack so Bounce and Waterfall will do nothing. (if Manectric did not switch in) Use a Thunderbolt and Gyarados is dead.

Mega Manectric attacks Gyarados:

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Punch

128 SpA Mega Manectric Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Swampert: 68-80 (16.8 - 19.8%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery
128 SpA Mega Manectric Overheat vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Swampert: 73-86 (18 - 21.2%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Swampert Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 128 Def Mega Manectric: 330-390 (117.4 - 138.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
 
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SpA, 4 Def
Bold Nature
-Leech Seed
-Sludge Bomb
-Giga Drain
-Synthesis

Swampert can't touch Mega Venusaur and Mega Venusaur can heal all of its HP back with Giga Drain.
 
Gliscor @Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 232 Spe
Impish nature
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Protect

Gliscor can come in, only really susceptible to Zapdos' Heat wave, which only has a low chance of a 4HKO. From then, once Gliscor has a sub up, Zapdos is perpetually stalled and Gliscor can just wait for Zapdos to faint due to Toxic.
 
Excadrill@Air Balloon
252 Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Adamant Nature
Trait: Sand Rush (active)
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

^ Is why SubToxic Gliscor sucks. Something it should be countering (and is one of the best counters in the game to) walls it lol. :P
 
Hawlucha @ Air Balloon
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Roost
- High Jump Kick
- Brick Break
- Swords Dance
 
Nasty Plot Simisage is a good check, resisting Scald and OHKOing with a Life Orb +2 Leaf Storm after a Calm Mind boost.

Simisage
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Timid
~ Nasty Plot
~ Leaf Storm
~ HP Rock
~ Focus Blast
 
You should use something like Grass Knot over Leaf Storm on your Simisage.

Anyway....

Latios @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power Steel
- Psyshock / Roost

Doesn't care about anything Simisage does, can set up a Calm Mind if it decides to set up with Nasty Plot, and 2HKOes with Psyshock. Hidden Power Steel is used on this Latios to catch some Fairy-type Pokemon and 2HKO them, whereas most of them can't OHKO back after a Calm Mind.

FYI, STAB Psyshock does the same amount of damage as a 2x super effective HP Steel (in case you didn't know, Hidden Power got nerfed to a fixed base power of 60 instead of a potential power of 70 depending on IVs).

Anyway:

Klefki

-Spikes
-Play Rough
-Foul Play
-Thunder Wave
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Prankster

Klefki takes nothing from Dragon Pulse, while shrugging off Hidden Power or Psyshock. It then cripples Latios with Thunder Wave or 2HKOs it with Play Rough.

252 SpA / 252 HP / 4 SpD

Earth Power should be able to finish it off with one hit or two. If the battle somehow lasts longer than expected, then the classic Rest + Sleep Talk combo should work.
