    Talonflame's last 4 EVs should go into Defense, since putting them in HP makes its HP even, meaning it dies to 2 Stealth Rock switch-ins.

    Sitrus Berry is preferred over Leftovers on Belly Drum Azumarill, so it can restore some HP upon using Belly Drum. 164 Speed EVs allow Azumarill to outspeed minimum Speed base 70s.

    Gliscor should stick to defensive roles only. It's badly outclassed in offensive roles:
    -Toxic
    -Protect
    -Earthquake
    -Substitute/Knock Off
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 Spe
    Item: Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal

    or
    -Earthquake
    -Acrobatics
    -Taunt/Toxic/Fling/Stealth Rock
    -Roost
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 Spe
    Item: Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal

    or
    -Earthquake/Knock Off
    -Toxic/Knock Off/Stealth Rock
    -Taunt/Stealth Rock
    -Roost
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/184 SDef/72 Spe
    Item: Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal

    Mega Alakazam can get away with a Modest nature because it still outspeeds +Speed base 130s with Modest:
    -Psychic
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    -Hidden Power (Fire/Ice)/Taunt/Substitute/Thunder Wave
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Alakazite
    Ability: Magic Guard (pre-Mega)

    While it seems tempting to have Dragonite use Weakness Policy with Multiscale, it's not worth it in the end because since you lack Dragon Dance, it can get revenge killed if you can't Roost in time. Also, Dragonite's coverage moves are rather weak (Aerial Ace is a weak STAB and only Mega Aerodactyl gets away with it because of Tough Claws) and outside of Fairies, Iron Head is useless. Also, Dragonite can hit Fairies hard with Earthquake if needed and it loves the priority Extreme Speed provides:
    -Outrage
    -Extreme Speed
    -Thunder Punch
    -Superpower
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band
    Ability: Multiscale

    or
    -Dragon Dance
    -Outrage
    -Extreme Speed
    -Earthquake/Fire Punch
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry
    Ability: Multiscale

    Brick Break is redundant with Earthquake on Excadrill, making the former useless. Drop it for Rock Slide, which is useful for nailing Mega Pinsir, Talonflame and Charizard (Y) on the switch. Assault Vest Excadrill uses an Adamant nature with a bulky spread of 120 HP/136 Atk/252 SDef.
     
    One other thing is that you'll wanna give Talonflame a different item. Talonflame already has enough HP issues with Stealth Rock everywhere and its STABs doing recoil damage. Roost helps, but that particular set is kinda frail and Life Orb damage doesn't help with that. You could use a Flame Plate, Sharp Beak, or Expert Belt.
