Before they close your thread because you lack of description for your Pokémon's role, I would like give you some suggestions :)
1.- You would like run Growth with Venusaur alongside Life Orb. Growth it gives you +2 in SpA under sun and makes it a very threatening sweeper. You can run Growth/Giga Drain/Sludge Bomb/HP Fire with that spread and It would be fine.
2.- You could use Spikes in Greninja in order to wear down some of the Venusaur checks and counter such as Heatran.
3.- Mega Tyranitar seems a massive threat to your team, it replaces sun with sand, forces out stuff like Charizard and can set up a Dragon Dance in that switch to tear apart your team bar Fini, who doesn't like switch into a +1 Stone Edge. To help with this, I would say you Run Focus Blast on M-Charizard Y instead of Dragon Pulse. It gives you a chance to mind game if you switch or not when they set up a DD and deals a shit ton of damage.
3.- Change the EV Spread of you Zygarde, to 252 Atk/252 Spe, if you don't run speed on Zygarde, it get will outspeed by a lot of threats including Heatran, Kyurem-B, and Hoopa-U, threats that with speed investment you outspeed.

You could consider run your own Tyranitar, because Lati@s are threats that check your offensive core bar Greninja (Lati twins check Zard Y, Zygarde locked ES, Superpower and even, T-Arrow and Venusaur). With Tyranitar's Pursuit you ensure removing those threats, so Charizard Y and Zygarde can have a better time at breaking, and Venusaur sweeping/cleaning. Also, with its ability, replaces sun with sand, allowing you change the weather and then in late game bring back Zard-Y to set up weather for Venu.

Hi, welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide in-depth descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
