Not gonna be a jerk or anything but just going to expand on what Mudkip said. When I first looked at this team, I swore it was a singles team due to the fact that none of your Pokemon run Protect plus the lack of speed control or presence of bulk or offensive control (Snarl and Intimidate).
Also, if you are running sets that are intended to be more bulky and less offensive then do damage calcs and spread out your EVs. 252/252 bulk doesn't work in VGC seeing as how switching in to check attackers is not possible with two Pokemon opposing you.
For your Gym team, I'm wondering why you aren't using Mega Venusaur and running a tank set instead of the 252/252 chlorophyll sun sweeper set.
Now I don't know what kind of team this is suppose to be (because it still hasn't been clearly stated in the title of the post or the thread) so my comments and suggestions may be a bit off.
Scarf nidoking would make more sense on a VGC team since you want to outspeed the common threats in VGC and wipe them out. Timid scarfer btw seeing as how Nidoking's base 85 speed is still lacking in terms of outspeed faster scarfers provided that Nidoking is running a Modest Nature.
AV Toxicroak is a really weird set seeing as how it is still weak to physical hits but I guess its typing can cover up the reason for this. I recommend trying to run Fake Out or Protect(if its not Assault Vest) over Ice Punch on Toxicroak.
Maybe you should run Gengar a bit more supportive and less offensive. A set with Will-o-Wisp, Icy Wind, Sludge Bomb and Taunt/Shadow Ball with a Focus Sash would be ideal seeing as how your team lacks support. Timid Nature btw.
Rework Crobat's EV spread for slightly less speed but a bit more bulk. Scrap Cross Poison, Confuse Ray and Venoshock. Cross Poison never brings in much damage and Venoshock is too situational. Go for something like Brave Bird, Quick Guard, Tailwind, Super Fang/Protect with a Jolly Nature and a Sitrus or Charti Berry.
Decide between Special or Physical Dragalge. Special takes better advantage of its stats. A set of Protect, Sludge Wave/Bomb, Draco Meteor and Focus Blast/Hydro Pump would be ideal along with a Quiet or Modest nature with Life Orb or Choice Specs.
P.S. If Choice Specs, switch Protect for Thunderbolt or some other coverage move.
Now if we're talking singles,
Timid Nidoking with the same set, Fake Out over Ice Punch on Toxicroak with the same set, Life Orb over BrightPowder on Gengar (smogon doesn't have an item clause), U-turn over Venoshock and Roost over Confuse Ray on Crobat with a Jolly Nature and Black Sludge on Dragalge with a Specially Defensive EV spread
