It's been 11 days, so hopefully this isn't too much of a necrobump...
Firstly, it's generally a good idea to include an importable of the team. I had a look at the team so ended up putting it together myself, so I'll just put that here.

Overall it seems to be a decent balanced team, and even better for not being an exact clone of the ZardX/Lando/Thundy team that everyone seems to need to use top-ladder <_<

Things to change however: Noivern and Charizard Y, from what I've found, barely ever use Air Slash, although these are the only flying moves on the whole team so in order not to be beaten by fighting teams spamming Stone Edge, I'd recommence replacing Boomburst on Noivern as the Flying/Normal coverage is pretty much useless. On Noivern I recommend replacing Boomburst with Switcheroo so that it's more useful against stall teams, while on Charizard I'd replace Air Slash with Roost to improve its survivability and allow it to switch in on Stealth Rock multiple times.

The Gliscor set could do with a 244 HP / 192 Def / 72 Spe EV set in order to outspeed things up to and including Jolly Tyranitar, and at the same time Maximize Poison Heal recovery. I'd also recommend replacing Protect with Roost to help with recovery as Protect simply won't be enough to wall some offensive threats. For example with SubPunch Mawile:
252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Play Rough vs. 244 HP / 192+ Def Gliscor: 178-211 (50.5 - 59.9%) -- 33.2% chance to 2HKO after Poison Heal
Although Gliscor can't safely switch in, it can wall Mawile if it runs roost, which it can't do if it only ran protect.
I would also consider swapping toxic or knock off on this set for Stealth Rock, which is hugely useful against teams such as Fire (which benefit from Charizard's sun) or Ice (which are always a threat against flying teams).

Finally, I'd make sure things that are Stealth Rock weak (Thundurus, Charizard) have an odd HP value by adding or removing 4 EVs, so that they can more easily switch in on Stealth Rock.
 
I really like your team and it fares very well as a monotype. I think you need a reliable physical attacker on this team so something like talonflame or staraptor would be quite useful I think - in place of noivern. Talonflame works well with charizard's drought but staraptor is very reliable in wall breaking and could undertake a good kamikaz role on your team in general.

While there isn't much in the way of physical attackers on the team, I don't think it's much of a problem as special walls should be easy enough to take out via toxic stall from the team's 3 defensive mons, while any special walls immune to toxic will dislike gliscor's earthquake. Also, MegaZard Y is an excellent stallbreaker so I think defensive teams will struggle more to beat this team, especially with Volt Switch Thundy-t and Switcheroo Noivern to help add pressure.
Also Talonflame's banned in mono.
 
you need a minimum of three full lines of description for each pokemon, and not just very short notes, explaining the reasoning behind your choices. take a look at the rmt rules and other rmts to see what's expected; if you want this reopened then pm me with an updated version of your rmt
