The issue with this team as that:

It is slow
It lacks overall direction
And... well... all of your moves are attacks. And most of them, mixed between physical and special moves.

You can't effectively check any threat that requires more than a powerful attack to counter, and you don't have anything that can really be a big threat if your enemy plays inappropriately around it.

So you have limited offensive capabilities, and limited defensive capabilities.

My first move would be to go to www.smogon.com and learn the basic metagame.
Hydro Cannon and Dig on Swampert is ridiculous, and a few articles on that site will explain why.
This article is helpful: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/intro_comp_pokemon

You seem like an offensively oriented kinda guy - try out Pokes like Jolteon, or Magneton to destroy the Steels who ruin your offensive streaks. :)

Dosen't Brave nature boost attack? That's not going to bring out Its special damage. I suggest that you Switch out thunder with Gear Grind, since it's more offensive than magical.
Even if one person steales waht you deserve, your reward will be even better than the last if you head down the right path.

For your team - Dragonite I'd say - for the Extremespeed

Alright, you really need some work with your team.

It lacks any synergy whatsoever. The movesets are very redundant. It really looks like you're just using random pokemon with random attacks. The EVs are awful. The team as a whole is poor. It won't be winning anything :/

Smogon.com http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/intro_comp_pokemon . Go there. Read. I wish you luck. Come back when you've read the article.
