I have posted this team on marriland but i wanted to get rate here too.

Togekiss@King's Rock
-Air Slash
-Thunder Wave
-Dazzling Gleam
-Flamethrower
Ability:Serene Grace
Modest Nature
25Tr2 Sp.atk,252 HP,4 Spd
While togekiss has a glaring stealth rock weakness,it immunes spikes,dragon claw,draco meteor and EQ,Earth Power.T-Wave can annoy many pokemons but when combined with it'sgood bulk and air slash+serene grace+king's rock combo is completely annoying.Dazzling Gleam hits for fair damage and SE to dragons and darks.Flamethrower over aura spherefor ferrothorn,aegislash,klefki and mega mawile.After t-wave,togekiss is going to outspd the foe so there's no point to put the EVS in spd instead of HP.

Lucario@Lucariorite
-Agility
-Close COmbat
-Bullet Punch
-Earthquake
Ability:Steadfast,Adapatability(Mega)
Adamant Nature
252 Atk,252 Spd,4 HP
Lucario is my choice of mega.Adapatiblity raises it's stab moves namely close combat and bullet punch to hit hard as hell.Close Combat+Adapatiblity raises the power to an astonishing 180 power and bullet punch hits as hard as mega scizor's bullet punch.EQ for coverage which came handy in situations.Agility to raise some speed which lucario slightly lacks.

Smeargle@Focus Sash
-Sticky Web
_Stealth Rock
-Spore
-Magic Coat
Ability:Any
Timid Nature
252 Spd,252 HP,4 Sp.def
Smeargle works great for my team as a hazard layer for my team to sweep.Spore can put sleep the first opponent it faces.Sticky Web and stealth rock supports my team well and magic coat to stop taunts.Focus sash+spore for a few hazards.


Rotom-W@Choice Scarf
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Trick
-Will-O-Wisp
Ability:Levitate
Modest Nature
252 Sp.atk,120 Spd,120 HP,18 Sp.def
The reason rotom-w is in my team is easy.First,it pairs well with genesect.Second,it has only 1 weakness.Lastly,it has rounded stats,interesting strategy and small but great movepool.Volt Switch to give the foe some damage and switch out being handy with choice scarf.Trick to exchange items with the foes.WoW cripple physical attackersHydro Pump for stab and coverage.

Genesect@Choice Scarf
-Flamethrower
-Ice Beam
-U-Turn
-Thunderbolt
Ability:Download
Modest Nature
252 Sp.atk,252 Spd,4 HP
Flamethrower for steel types.Ice Beam+T-Bolt is amazing and can have coverage on many pokes.FB destroys magnezone who otherwise laughs boltbeam.U-turn for some switchin and stab.Scarf to revenge-kill.Download raises sp.atk or atk being handy sometimes.

Tyranitar@Assault Vest
-Pursuit
-Fire Punch
-Stone Edge
-Crunch
Ability:Sandstrean
Adamant Nature
252 Atk,252 HP,4 Def
My special wall is tyranitar.In sand+assault vest,tyranitar absorbs attack like assault vest goodra.In replacement,it has better other stats.Pursuit traps ghosts andpsychics.It's the ultimate counter of gengar and alakazam as their focus blast can't kill tyranitar even without sand and assault vest while has only 75% accuracy.If they try to switch out,then just pursuit trap and they're gone.Fire Punch for coverage as it can KO ferrothorn,genesect and mawile mega.Crunch for a stronger dark stab.

So just a couple of glaring changes; change agility to swords dance on lucario. He already has priority (change earthquake to extreme speed while you're at it), all he needs is a swords dance or two to finish off an opposing team. On genesect, swap burn drive for choice scarf, techno blast for flamethrower, and bug buzz for u-turn. Running genesect without u-turn is just crazy talk, and you do lose some power on flamethrower, but he needs the speed from scarf to be able to come in and revenge kill virtually anything. Other people are going to tell you to change scarf rotom for leftovers rotom, but I personally don't mind having 2 scarfers on my team, and I would leave rotom as is
 
Togekiss would appreciate leftovers more, although kings rock is nice for extra chance of flinch, leftovers provides steady recovery. I would replace flamethrower with nasty plot or aura sphere, it hits many types rather than steel really hard, notably rock, steel and ice.

On lucario replace agility with swords dance and adamant nature for jolly.

Make smeargle your lead, if he isn't already

Genesect is good, you might want to consider u-turn over bug buzz, just in case if the opponent has weaker defense you can target that and save it for later with it.

Hope the suggestions help
 
you seem rather weak to fairies. perhaps iron head on genesect

Genesect@Expert Belt
-Iron Head
-Ice Beam
-U-Turn
-Thunderbolt
Ability:Download
Naive Nature
252 Sp.atk,252 Spd,4 Atk
 
Lucario's so slow so i thought agility will be better.I was SD at first.

Fairies?Lucario can take care of.Rotom-W can take care of togekiss and i have plenty of fire attacks for mawile.

Fire Blast seems better than aura sphere for togekiss as it can take care of scizor.I won't keep my togekiss on rock and ice types anyway.

I'll make the suggestions for genesect.
 
Speed is pretty irrelevant on lucario because you're usually just cleaning house with bullet punch or extreme speed (close combat when you know you're faster...lucario isn't THAT slow...), if you get off a swords dance and have a bit of prior damage on opposing pokes, lucario can quite easily sweep with his priority moves, no speed required :D
