This Skarmory set looks pretty good, though not much of a fan of having both Stealth Rock and Spikes. Get rid of one of them. I personally prefer Stealth Rock over Spikes, but again up to you. As for your EVs, it needs some fixing up.

Don't give 252 EVs to HP, you need to give some to your mediocre special defense. So take some out of there, other than that it looks good.

Metagross @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk/6 Def/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake

I have no problems here, good job *nods*

Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 6 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
- Tri Attack
- Hidden Power [Water]

No problems with this Magnezone either.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Hypnosis
- Calm Mind
- Flash Cannon
- Psychic

Hmm, it looks pretty good but how will you counter fire types that come your way? Most Bronzong carry Earthquake with them. I do see how a CMed Bronzong can kill those annoying Fire types with a Psychic but what if you didn't get the charge in? Other than that it looks good. Most people run Gyro Ball over Flash Cannon though.

Heatran (♂) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP/6 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Lol! you aren't running Choice Scarf or Quick Claw like most standard Heatran. People will be fooled, good job!

Lucario (♂) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Crunch
- Swords Dance

Standard Lucario. Nice.

Overall I give this team 7.5/10. It doesn't look that bad at all. Though be careful about your massive Fire weakness.

I've been having problems every time someone brings out a Gyarados against this team, does anyone know a good steel counter for him? I thought Magnezone would work but he can't survive the DDed EQ.

Gyarados counter? Perhaps your Bronzong can sponge a hit and attack it with HP Electric? That would mean sacrificing a move on your move slot. HP Electric will seem odd for Bronzong but you do need a Gyarados counter. Electric=4x weakness to Gyarados. Very useful.
