Looks good... Nice idea with Spikes, Stealth Rock and Skarmbliss.
Well, but it´s not good enough... xD I´ll give you some tips:
Never use Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Frenzy Plant... well, moves that make you waste a turn later. It´s too risked, specially if you need your Swellow alive. It´s risked because it makes you don´t be able to defend, attack or switch in the next turn, on which the foe may kill Swellow, recover itself or anything else.
About Swellow... I don´t think that Substitute is a nice idea. If you at least had some item that works if your HP is low, like a Liechi Berry, but you don´t, so it´s a waste of time - Swellow´s defences are low, so anything could easily break the substitute. Endeavor is a good move, but it may mean that you´re killing yourself - if your HP is low and you use it, you´ll damage severely the foe, but won´t kill it. Then, it will KO you. But it´s a good idea anyways. Ah, and replace Sitrus Berry with something else. 30 HP recovery is too little.
Metagross looks good. But if you have a Liechi Berry, use it instead of Scope Lens.
Gengar´s substitute is useless without focus punch. How about Destiny Bond? If you fight something that you can´t win (like Snorlaxes), it´s really helpful. About it´s nature, prefer Timid. It´s because that if your timid Gengar fights a modest Starmie or Alakazam (2 deadly opponents to Gengar0, you´ll be faster than them. Otherwise, they´ll be faster than you.
Replace Dragonite´s Outrage with Dragon Claw. Outrage traps you, so the foe is free to switch out for a bulky water and KO you with Ice Beam, for example. And why does it have a Chesto Berry? If you wanna be protected from status ailments, try a lum berry instead.
Skarmory is really slow, so it won´t make difference if it´s jolly or not. Prefer using more EVs on defence and attack. And give a leftovers to Skarmory.
