Can't give you flat out what Pokemon to use, against rules and you don't learn that way, or as efficiently, that is. But, I will help you with guidelines on what to use and help what you have now.

Try focusing on at least having one of each:

Special Sweeper
Physical Sweeper
Special Wall
Physical Wall
Hazer/Wish Support/Baton Passer
Counter for something big in the Meta. You have many which include Heracross, Gyarados, Weavile, Infernape, Special/Physical Sweeper Salamence, etc.

Those are guidelines to use, and it's MANDATORY to have a Physical/Special Wall if you want to survive a battle.

As for Metagross, Zen Headbutt may sound like a great idea, but in actuality it's not the best move for him to use. You are using the Adamant Nature variant, so I say it's best to use moves along the lines of Earthquake, Meteor Mash, Explosion and Agility and best item would be Leftovers or Choice Band.

Metagross is a great Physical Wall as well as a great attacker and resists many things. He only has one draw back, and it's his Speed, but with Agility and many resistances, he can pull off being a very nice Sweeper.

Tyranitar is better as a Choice Bander/Leftovers as well, and use Stone Edge more successfully than Rockslide could. I also don't fancy that last move which isn't really effective for him to have. Grass Resists it as well, causing more problems, having two moves being resisted by one type. I'd go with Dragon Dance over that one, if you go with Leftovers and Pursuit over it if you go with Choice Band.

No Ice Fang on Gliscor, use either that Stealth Rock or Knock off to get rid of opposing Choice Banders/Specs, Leftovers, Life Orb, etc.

Throw EV's into Max HP, and variation of Attack and Def.

Hope this helps.
 
Let me see... Gliscor can counter Heracross with Aerial Ace, Metagross can take Gyarados with T-Punch, Tyranitar can take out Infernape with EQ i think... I still need a counter for Dragons, Weavile... What about Kingdra?

I think you have an HP [Ice] Infernape weak. And even without HP [ice] it can still take 3 of your pokemon
 
So, Tri Attack instead of Hyper Beam? Maybe...
