Wow. I really dig your team. Honestly, your Pokemon seem to own, and I can't think of anything to change. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a dragon or wall of some sort, because dragons have few weaknesses. Especially palkia. He has only one.

Beware of Grass Knot. It'll kill your swampert pretty fast, no matter how good a lead he is.

You could try Cresselia as a wall. Double screens, decent attacking moves, all that good stuff.

Gyarados frightens me because electric moves are so common, even on things not remotely electric (Starmie, Magmortar, Gardevoir, etc.) Unless you wanted to put on a Gyarados and switch to Gliscor when you sense trouble.

Speaking of which, you may want to put thunderbolt on Starmie instead of rapid spin.

Three members of your team are weak to grass; you may want to reconsider ice punch over thunder punch.

Great team, though, and good luck Smile

Obviously, the lack of a wall on your team can be painful, especially if a sweeper becomes set up with an agiliy, swords dance, or something of the like.
You also have a heavy earthquake weakness, with three of the six Pokemon being 1HKO-2HKO'd on your team. It's also true you have a heavy grass weakness.
So, in retrospect, I'd add a wall in Place of the Scizor, preferably a wall that can take Earthquakes well, you already have more than enough physichal sweepers on your team.
Also, you're right to not think rapid spin is useful on your team, like Jolteon said, it would be more beneficial for you to incorporate thunderbolt on Starmie rather than rapid spin.
Finally, I'd switch the swampert lead for a faster lead that is not weak to grass.

I would suggest taking out rapid spin on starmie and putting t-bolt, as well as giving it a scarf.

I think it looks good all I can say is switch stone edge for rock slide on gliscor I don't like the 80% acc it always fails me when I need it and maybe taunt for ice fang to threaten grass types and dragon types

You could try giving Gliscor Stealth Rocks and moving it to lead, its done me wonders, I have Night Slash and Aqua Tail on him which takes out the ever so common Azelf and Aerodactyl leads that want to Taunt him.

Also, you need ice beam on that team, somewhere, maybe Starmie.
But ice is such a great offensive type every team should have a good ice beam.

And once somebody figures out what your Tyranitar is trying to do its going to be set up bait for any Mence, Gyarados, or Lucario. So i'm not so sure that the set you have for it will do well.

If you would like a sturdy wall that can fire back well, you may want to look at Mesprit, which might be weird to think of but 105 defenses coupled with the right EVs and Natures and an immunity to the ever so common earthquakes that will be aimed at your Metagross and Tyranitar he does pretty well.
Also having a good movepool to go with his descent 105 base SpA.

I have a suggestion that Jolt and I talked about: train a regi for a wall.

Regice has 200 base special def.
Regirock has 200 base defense.
Registeel has 150 in each defense for base stats.

It's something to consider.

I would suggest giving Metagross leftovers, as it turns alot of 2HKOs into 3HKOs. I would also suggest instead of using one of the regis, use mesprit. the two better regis are both weak to ground, which is another weakness your team doesnt need.

True, i didn't consider the multiple weaknesses of each regi. You might wanna go with Metagross after all. He's a beast. or, if all else fails, a Blissey with ridiculous HP.
