Rate my team

Hi! I am new and I need some help here. First, I dont plan on battling ubers or legends with this team, but if I have no choice, then help me out, so here we go:

Nature: Sassy
EV's: 252 HP/ 128 Def/ 128 Sp. Def/
-Gyro ball
-Stealth rock
-Hypnosis

Supporter and lead. Gyro ball for STAB. Hypnosis to inmobilize. Stealth rock for support. Light screen or Reflect also for support to the team.

Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Sp. Atk
-Outrage

My physical sweeper and revenge killer. Outrage to do a lot of damage later in the game, when I know my oponents team. Fireblast to do some damage to skarm, forretress and bronzong.

Starmie@ Leftovers
Ability: Natural cure
Nature: Timid
EV's: 160 HP/ 132 Sp.Atk/ 216 Spe
-Ice beam
-Surf

My spinner with the standard moveset. Surf for STAB. Ice beam to take out dragon, ground and grass types. Rapid spin to take away spikes, toxic spikes and stealth rock. Recover to make starmie last longer in the battle.

Lucario@Life orb
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
-Swords dance
-Close combat
-Crunch

My other physical sweeper, if the oportunity comes up I stat up and then try to sweep.

Venusaur@ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Spe
-Sleep powder
-Leech seed
-Sludge bomb
-Grass Knot

Annoyer and physical wall. Sleep powder to inmobilize one pokemon. Then use leech seed to recover damage. Grass knot and Sludge bomb for STAB.

Arcanine@ Life orb
Ability: Flash fire
Nature: Naive
EV's: 228 Atk/ 92 Sp. Atk/ 188 Spe
-Flareblitz
-Overheat
-Extremespeed
-Hidden power (electric, grass, ground)

My double sweeper and wall breaker, also protects venusaur, bronzong and lucario from fire and take the boost from flash fire. Flareblitz for STAB and do some damage to sp. walls. Overheat for physical walls. Extremespeed for first strike move. Hidden power to cover more. It comes out when venusaur, bronzong or lucario are in danger and sucks up fire to activate flash fire and then do a lot o damage to some walls etc.

That's all, so any suggestions about movesets, evs or pokemons to make this team better will be appreciated.

Edit: Changes in bold

Lead with Bronzong, Bronzong will set up your rocks early game, and possibly sleep. Hypnosis > Toxic on Bronzong, I'm just not feeling it on Bronzong, and Leftovers. Lucario might want a Life Orb, this way you hit way harder, without having to worry about LO + Sandstorm, part steel benefits Lucario, which on other pokemon is suicide. I would seriously put Dragon Claw over Stone Edge on Garchomp, why? Because you need a late game attack on him, you don't want to get stuck into a Outrage, I would only run Stone Edge on the CB Version tbh.

Honestly, there are better things than a Arcanaine, such things as Heatran can do better. I would really recommend you running a RestTalk Heatran, being your Special Attack sponge, and can be your Sleep Abosorber. You would also lack something that can take on the Physical attacks, from pokemon like Tyranitar, Garchomp, Heracross, you get it. Gliscor would fit well over Venasaur, with Ice Fang and Earthquake being the attacking moves, to handle Garchomp.
 
Why would you use Venusaur over Celebi? Just curious. Also I'd look to that nice STAB Sludge Bomb.

There honestly aren't too many pokes that can mix sweep well aside from Azelf and Mixape (and sort of Salamence and kin), but if you really want to keep the Arc "wall-breaker" idea, stop getting walled by Fire resists and throw on HP Ground. Or better yet, throw on HP Electric in place of WoW so you can actually do something to Gyara. Also, WoW is hardly a tool to use for a sweeper.

Lucario's weird as a lead, I recommend switching it up with Bronzong if you want to maintain the same team. Speaking of bronzong, that's a really funky moveset you got there. Bronzong, through and through, is a support/lead player, nothing more or less. His stats don't allow him to do much offensively, so, naturally, play to his strengths. Throw Hypnosis on him over Toxic (as poison is crap status), and get rid of EQ for some other supporting move (I use Light Screen due to the often carried FT on special sweepers, but Reflect works if you're scared of Fire Punch).

Also
 
I have to say Bronzong would be a more effective lead, as it can set up Stealth Rock, and also help with lead issues, but I would suggest adding Hypnosis instead of Toxic. btw you can't have 254 EV's in one stat so you have to change that, I would suggest Thunderbolt instead of Ice Beam on Starmie for Gyarados, on Venasaur I would suggest adding Sludge Bomb or Synthesis so it can heal and also hurt Grass pokemon, and your Arcanine looks fine, other wise this team is pretty solid but Mixape pretty much deals a lot of damage to your team, so I would suggest adding Cresselia or Espeon to your team to help with your Mixape weakness.
 
Thanks for the help. The reason that why I don't use celebi or heatran it's because I wanted to use something diferent and because with this team I don't play with legends like azelf, raikou, regice etc., but I would consider your suggestions. Also I dont know if replace ice beam with thunderbolt.
 
Need suggestions to replace venusaur and arcanine, like other say maybe celebi and heatran, but I dont know what movesets or evs should I use on this team
