I originally had in Heracross but I replaced him with Yanmega after realizing how many Physical Sweepers I had. Here is my team in detail:

Ninjask @Focus Sash
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Speed Boost
EV's: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Attacks: Swords Dance
Substitute
X-Scissor
Baton Pass
Ninjask is my leading Pokemon. His Speed Boost and Swords Dance will help raise his stats while his Substitute buys him time. He will then pass his stats to either Armaldo or Hahakomori depending on the opponent. If need be he can X-Scissor the Pokemon he is against, but his main job is support.
Urgamoth @Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Flame Body
EV's: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Attacks: Hidden Power (Ground)
Bug Buzz
Butterfly Dance
Fire Dance
Urgamoth is one of my two special sweepers, it can power it's self up with Butterfly Dance before attacking. The Life Orb will power up it's already super strong special attacks, which are now powered up by STAB, high special attack stat and EV's.
Foretress @Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Sturdy
EV's: 252 HP/112 Atk/144 Def
Attacks: Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin
Gyro Ball
Earth Quake
Foretress works as both my Toxic Spiker and my Rapid Spinner, he will knock away any Stealth Rock set up to hurt the bugs. He has Earthquake as an attack to knock away the fire offenses aimed at him, and has a strong Gyro Ball thanks to STAB
Armaldo @Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Battle Armor
EV's: 128 HP/252 Atk/128 Spe

Armaldo is one of my two Physical Sweepers, He is here to also get away Fire offenses.
Hahakomori @Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Chlorophyll
EV's: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Attacks: X-Scissor
Leaf Blade
Swords Dance
Shadow Claw
Hahakomori is the second of my Physical Sweepers. His Leaf Blade is a good move for knocking away any rock types that might threaten the bug type team and his Shadow Claw was thrown in just as an exta offensive attack.
Yanmega @Choice Specs
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Tinted Lens
EV's: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Attacks: Bug Buzz
Hidden Power (Fire)

Yanmega was a Pokemon who was just put in, he can easily be replaced. He is my second Special Sweeper. He has Hidden Power Fire to knock away any steal types aimed at him, and Bug Buzz and Air Slash are there for STAB type moves. Phychic was added to fend off Poison types that my threaten my team.
