    Hey, I've had a go at another pokemon team I'd like people's opinions on if you wouldnt mind as any help or advice would be appreciated...

    So far this is what i have

    Goodra @ Assault Vest
    'Sap Sipper'
    Modest Nature
    EVS: 252 Sp Att/ 252 HP / 4 Sp. Def
    Ice Beam
    Flamethrower
    Dragon Pulse
    Sludge Bomb

    Ferrothorn @ Big Root
    'Iron Barbs'
    Careful Nature
    EVS: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Sp. Def
    Gyro Ball
    Power Whip
    Leech Seed
    Stealth Rock

    Volcarona @ Life Orb
    'Flame Body'
    Timid Nature
    EVS: 252 Sp. Att/ 252 Speed/ 4 HP
    Feiry Dance
    Bug Buzz
    Quiver Dance
    Hurricane

    Golurk @ Leftovers
    'Iron Fist'
    Adamant Nature
    EVS: 252 Att/ 252 HP/ 4 Sp. Def
    Substitute
    Focus Punch
    Shadow Punch
    Earthquake

    Tentacruel @Black Sludge
    'Liquid Body'
    Bold Nature
    EVS: 248 HP/ 244 Def/ 16 Speed
    Rapid Spin
    Scald
    Toxic
    Protect

    Then I'm not sure on the last pokemon...
    I figured it should be a special sweeper since i have my two walls: Tentacruel and Ferrothorn My two special attackers: Goodra and Volcarona but only golurk as a physical threat

    What should the last pokemon be and is that a good team overall?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    My friend code is: 3540 - 0949 - 5355
     
    Ice Beam is redundant with Goodra's Dragon STAB. Don't bother with it. Goodra is also currently walled by Heatran:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast
    -Thunderbolt/Earthquake
    -Dragon Tail/Earthquake
    Nature: Quiet/Sassy
    EVs: 248 HP/252 SAtk/8 SDef
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

    or
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast
    -Thunderbolt
    -Focus Blast
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 248 HP/252 SAtk/8 SDef
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

    If you're looking for alternative items besides Leftovers for Ferrothorn, use Rocky Helmet. It works well in tandem with Iron Barbs:
    -Leech Seed
    -Protect
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes/Power Whip
    Nature: Relaxed/Impish
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Iron Barbs

    or
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes
    -Leech Seed
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave
    -Power Whip/Protect
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 248 HP/52 Def/208 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Iron Barbs

    Hurricane is only good on rain teams; it's inaccurate outside of that. While I still think offensive Quiver Dance Volcarona is viable, defensive Quiver Dance may be better because it lets Volcarona heal off the damage it takes from Stealth Rock:
    -Quiver Dance
    -Fiery Dance
    -Bug Buzz
    -Roost
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/192 Def/68 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Flame Body

    If you still want to use offensive Volcarona, you're better off using a better coverage move than Hurricane because it's horribly inaccurate:
    -Quiver Dance
    -Fire Blast/Fiery Dance
    -Bug Buzz
    -Hidden Power (Rock/Ground)/Psychic
    Nature: Timid/Modest
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry
    Ability: Flame Body

    I don't like having Golurk on the team at all. It's slow, not that bulky and it has common weaknesses that are easily exploited. I think that Aegislash is a better alternative, as while it also has its fair share of common weaknesses, it has the bulk to take those hits:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Pursuit/Iron Head/Sacred Sword
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

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

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

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

    I think that Scizor would make a fine addition in the last slot as a Defogger because while it adds another Fire weakness, it can strike hard on the physical end:
    -U-turn
    -Bullet Punch/Knock Off
    -Defog
    -Roost
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Scizorite
    Ability: Technician

    In the last slot, you can use another Fire resist like Azumarill:
    -Waterfall
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Superpower/Knock Off
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe
    Item: Choice Band/Splash Plate/Mystic Water
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Belly Drum
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Waterfall/Superpower
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Power-Up Punch
    -Waterfall/Knock Off
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 16 HP/252 Atk/240 SDef
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Huge Power

    If you don't want an extra Fire weakness, use Mega Blastoise or Starmie instead:

    Mega Blastoise:
    -Water Pulse/Scald/Hydro Pump
    -Dark Pulse
    -Aura Sphere/Ice Beam
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
    Item: Blastoisinite

    Starmie:
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Psyshock/Thunderbolt
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure

    If you opted for either Mega Blastoise or Starmie, Black Kyurem, Conkeldurr, or Dragonite make fine options in the last slot:

    Black Kyurem:
    -Ice Beam
    -Fusion Bolt
    -Earth Power
    -Substitute/Roost
    Nature: Mild/Hasty
    EVs: 56 HP/200 SAtk/252 Spe (Substitute) or 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe (Roost)
    Item: Leftovers (Sub)/Life Orb (Roost)

    or
    -Outrage
    -Ice Beam
    -Fusion Bolt
    -Iron Head/Earth Power/Dragon Claw
    Nature: Hasty
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    or
    -Ice Beam
    -Dragon Tail
    -Fusion Bolt
    -Roost
    Nature: Hasty
    EVs: 248 HP/60 SDef/200 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Outrage
    -Ice Beam
    -Fusion Bolt
    -Iron Head/Dragon Claw
    Nature: Lonely
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band

    Conkeldurr:
    -Drain Punch
    -Mach Punch
    -Knock Off
    -Ice Punch/Stone Edge
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 188 HP/252 Atk/48 SDef/20 Spe or 252 Atk/236 SDef/20 Spe
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Guts

    or
    -Bulk Up
    -Drain Punch
    -Mach Punch
    -Knock Off/Stone Edge/Ice Punch
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Guts

    Dragonite:
    -Dragon Dance

    -Extreme Speed
    -Earthquake
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry/Weakness Policy
    Ability: Multiscale
