XY OU Advice needed :D

Hello i'm very new to competitive battling , so please help me out. This is my first time, so here is my current build :

Snorlax @ Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 188 HP / 104 Atk / 216 Def
Careful Nature
- Wild Charge
- Earthquake
- Double-Edge
- Return
Snorlax acts as a tank for the team, thick fat for encountering the fire / ice type, about the EV, 188 hp and 216 def because i need it to be bulky, and 104 atk so i can counter some pokemon too.

Metagross @ Normal Gem
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Bullet Punch
- Explosion
Metagross here acts as a suicidal lead, i raised 240 HP & 16 Def to withstand some damage from the enemy, 252 attack to maximize the explosion. Didn't really get much move option for this pokemon , any advice? or is this good enough?

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Serious Nature
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Recover
- Ice Beam
Quagsire here acts as a special sweeper, choosing scald because it have some burn chance, using recover to be quite bulky, and ice beam to counter some enemy. but i reconsidered to change this pokemon with something, any advice? Because i think it's not good enough for my playstyle.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
Blissley here acts as a special wall and support. 252 Hp and 252 Def to build this blissey bulky enough to withstand any damage.. Using toxic because i think it's good enough to poison the enemy and heal self to wait the enemy to die with seismic toss too..

Dragonite @ Life Orb
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 116 Atk / 200 SpA / 192 Spe
Rash Nature
- Superpower
- Extreme Speed
- Flamethrower
- Outrage
Dragonite here acts as a mix sweeper, 116 attack 200 SpA and 192 Speed. Using outrage because i think it's quite more stronger than Draco Meteor(?), and flamethrower to counter some enemy, thinking to change the superpower and extremespeed.. Doesn't understand too many options for this pokemon build, need advice xD

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Aerial Ace
Scizor-Mega here acts as a physical sweeper, this build is quite offensive, but thinking to change it to defensive build too. Used Swords Dance to multiply some damage because i think these moves are not good enough yet.. Still thinking to revamp this build, need more advice xD

in detail? hmm sorry, i just can explain why i added the EV, like pokemon and movesets, i just searched the build in the internet since i'm new to competitive battling, this is my first team. thanks before.
 
Interesting team!
You might want to expand your descriptions a bit to three lines for each pokemon. Otherwise the thread might be locked. For more information, read the rules here.

That aside, I see a few little things. Firstly, Dragonite has the amazing ability Multiscale which halves the damage taken when Dragonite is at full hp, and adding a Life orb to it would reduce it's HP after a single attack, meaning that its Multiscale would be 'broken'. I would recommend Leftovers or Weakness Policy over this. Also, you might want to consider Dragon Dance over Superpower on Dragonite, as you are already running Superpower on Mega Scizor, and it would make Dragonite much more effective in sweeping. I would also consider Fire Punch over Flamethrower as it would benefit from the aforementioned Dragon Dance.

Secondly, Quagsire is not really a good special sweeper with its base 65 SpA stat. However, its defensive variant is a great counter to DD Mega Charizard X, and can be found here.

Thirdly, in OU, Chansey with the item Eviolite is a much better Special & Physical wall than Blissey. So I would recommend altering Blissey to Chansey with Eviolite.

Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic

Dragonite @ Leftovers/Weakness Policy/Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant/Jolly Nature
- Fire Punch/Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage/Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
