Hi

Cool team. First off, I wouldn't use RP genesect as your team as you have 3 great set up sweepers already, and gene really ties up their common weakness to DDnite as well as serving as an all purpose revenge killer/ scout in general. Anyway just a few nitpicks, I would seriously reccomend you change your breloom spread to 220HP/ 252Atk / 36spe with an Adamant nature. Considering breloom's poor speed tier and the fact that it doesn't do much with max speed without low sweep, the given EV's do a fair amount for him. With breloom's good set of resistances, the HP investment let him take hits a lot better than previous, letting him set up on more pokemon and not be revenge killed as easily. The little bit of speed left lets you beat standard skarmory and wobbufett, which can be helpful in lots of situations, as well as some variants of the very noteworthy god Metagross.

Final nitpick, I would change your genesect spread to 92Atk/ 252SpA/ 164Spe. This spread lets you outspeed up to +1 Dnite, which is all thats nessecary really. The only targets you miss out on is +1 Hydreigon and Haxorus, the former being beaten up by breloom and the latter being hardly used and can't set up anywhere at all on the team anyway. The extra power in your U-Turn is really nice and noticeable considering it will probably be your most used move, and it can help do that little bit more damage to the other team thats needed to break them open

GL with the team
EDIT: A lot of specially defensive rotom-w have been popping up that carry 0 speed, so unless you feel you really need to outspeed bulky attacking rotom-w the speed isn't that needed (choice rotom-w is still out there but its rare and you lose to that either way)
