my mixed fella not quite sure about him hence no nick
well thats my squad im open for tips
only thing that sticks out is why are you running kyurem-b with 0 speed ivs? since you play on showdown thats easily fixed if its just an error, but i dont see any reason not to give all your mon flawless ivs. aNd i usually go for scald on greninja for the accuracy, but thats just my preference :P
Why is Venusaur running Quiet nature over Modest? Why 30 Defense? I don't see the point of using Mega Venusaur as an offensive boosting Pokemon, but if it's working for you then more power to you. You're walled helplessly by any Steel type, especially the one you'll be facing most often: Heatran.
Relaxed nature? This is a Pokemon that is using a Speed boosting move... why are you hindering Speed? EV spread is very odd as well. Try Adamant with 88 HP / 252 Attack / 168 Speed.
Again with the Speed hindering nature? Clefable should be running Modest here. Also what is even happening with the IVs?
Talonflame looks fine.
Greninja looks fine. Consider HP Fire if Ferrothorn bothers you, but it's really not necessary.
y so srs? Serious nature has no benefit at all. Further, the set isn't even mixed, it's completely physical, so you'll want Adamant for this one. Also, yeah, fix the Speed IV. Consider making this a mixed attacker, however, with Naughty nature and Ice Beam > Roost or Sub, as it provides a way to damage physical walls, especially Gliscor.
All the oddities aside, this team is decent. There's no real... defense to this team though; it seems to be 6 sweepers with a few of them having recovery moves tacked on. Entry hazards bother your team a lot, specifically Spikes, but Stealth Rock as well. Consider making Venusaur a bit more defensively inclined, but if heavy offense is your thing, that's fine. I definitely don't prefer this playstyle myself, but that's just how I play.
should i replace kyrem b for a fighting type? and the ivs are fixed now all perfect
im also considering turning clefable into a cosmic power wall or should specsable blow things to space dust
im thinking of tekkron for a fighting type to deal with mandibuzz and heatran
ive added terkorn

I'm with her on this one, that get's a bit annoying after a while.
One thing, this team seems to have a glaring amount of sweepers. A team of sweepers with one or 2 walls is only viable imo if:
- You have incredible skill
- Those walls are completely op
- Most of those sweepers are bulky
- You're Richard (again, see rule one. xD)
Since this is on Showdown, a good bulky physical attacker or wall would be Landorus-T. Spikes on Greninja is also viable to take care of that annoying electric type weakness and stack spikes.
Also, Your sword is good, but here's what i'd run for it to be even better:
Aegislash @ Weakness policy
31/31/31/x/31/0
Brave
252 HP 252 Def 4 Atk
Shadow Sneak
Iron Head
Swords Dance
King's Shield
The idea is to be as slow as possible to stomach a super effective hit and get a free attack bonus, then SD on the same turn, then maybe Sd on the next turn, depending on what move they used. Then, this is where the speed comes in: Take another good hit and iron head, or just shadow sneak and hope to KO the pokemon, you could also KS on a physical attacker. It's a bit gimmacky, but it works.
