So, this mono bug team has seen some relative success, but I feel like it could do better. Originally I had a Galvantula instead of Yanmega, but sticky web doesn't go well with Forretress' Gyro Ball.

Yanmega: Replace ancient power with hidden power ground to cover rock, electric, fire, and steel.

Volcarona: At +1 speed from quiver dance, speed is still critical. Give it 4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe Timid.

Scyther: Another physical attacker that's 4 times weak to rock won't help your team. I suggest you replace it with this Heracross set.
Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
-Close Combat
-Megahorn
-Knock Off
-Stone Edge
Send it out late-game, preferably after all your opponents are weak to one of its attacks. Its choice scarf and speed investment make it hard to revenge-kill, and moxie makes it more and more unstoppable as it sweeps. Close combat and megahorn are STAB attacks. Knock off covers psychic and ghost, and stone edge covers fire and flying.

Armaldo: If you want a good rock Pokemon, replace Armaldo with Crustle.
Crustle @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
-Shell Smash
-Rock Slide
-X-Scissor
-Earthquake
Use shell smash until it takes some kind of damage (sturdy gets broken). If the opponent has some other way of breaking sturdy, you may want to use it once or none at all. Rock slide and x-scissor are STAB, and earthquake covers rock and steel.
