Id go with thunderbolt over Thunder, Rest over Drill Peck and HP Grass over Fighting. Id also use a +Sp.ATK nature invest some EVs into it and have the remainder go into HP.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 124 HP / 44 Atk / 228 Def / 56 SAtk / 56 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Endeavor

Use Rest or Protect Over Endeavor. I would remove those SDef EVs and invest them into HP. Swampert should actually have max HP.

Heracross (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Guts
EVs: 2 HP / 252 Atk / 1 Def / 252 Spd / 1 SAtk / 2 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide
- Sleep Talk

Get rid of Rock Slide and use rest that way Guts is activated.

Gengar (M) @ Choice Band ** The_Shadow
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Explosion
- Focus Punch
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb

Gengars base attack is mediocre use a special set.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Atk / 16 Def / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Rock Slide

Less defense, more speed, max attack.

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 56 HP / 136 Atk / 176 Def / 140 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rest

Use a +Attack nature and give him more HP.

You have way to many Choice Banders, and two of them do better (usually) without it. Gengar would be much better for this team as a special attacker, or a mixed one. Zapdos wants Thunderbolt to give it a 100% Accuracy move. This team is way to physical based, and gets walled by Skarmory very easy, wth Zapdos being the only Poke that can hit it with a Special Attack. If you are planning to make a comeback with Snorlax, it needs Shadow Ball, or else it is walled to hell by Gengar. Heracross DOES NOT want Rest, he is holding a Choice Band, and Choice Band Rest is not the best Idea. Get a Special Attack. You also have no PHazer, which is also a big problem.

Gather 4 of heracross's EVs and put them somewhere.

Thunderbolt over explosion on Gengar, since Metagross already explodes, and you do need to maim skarmory more. I really do think Gengar should be more special oriented anyways, as your Zapdos is already a nice Choice-Banded surprise, while Gengar doesn't do nearly as much damage with physical. It'd be nice for him to have a way to hurt Weezing more too, as right now Weezing can go around burning everyone (haze snorlax's curses too) and there's not much you can do about it.

Consider facade over something on Heracross so you can punish Weezing when it burns you.

Since skarm sets up on you no problem, you can throw in a Maggy somewhere, maybe over one of your CBers, not Heracross. This way Hera and your 3 other CBers have more fun. If you do this watch out for duggy, he'll be a pain.
