Best answer

So, your Mega Altaria is VERY strange. Altaria-Mega is supposed to be a setup sweeper, (via Dragon Dance, not Cotton Guard) which gives him a niche in the UU metagame. However, if you just want to use a Cotton Guard Mega Altaria there’s really no point in just using a bulky Mega Ampharos or something instead. Here’s a more effective Mega Altaria set I’ve used myself before:

Altaria-Mega @ Altarianite
Ability: Cloud Nine—>Pixilate
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 Def
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
Description: So, I guess you could use Frustration to counter Ditto, but I’ve literally never seen Ditto in UU my whole 3 years of playing Pokémon I think you’re fine. Earthquake is for coverage against Electric types, and is especially useful against Mega Manetric (you outspeed him after one DD). Dragon Claw is sort of a filler, I almost never find myself using it as Return also hits super effective against other dragons anyways.

So, two status moves on the same Pokémon? You need to choose either Yawn + Stealth Rock, or Unaware Wall, but I’ll choose Unaware Wall for you because it fits much better on your team then a hazard setter. Here’s a Curse + EQ Quagsire

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpD
- Earthquake
- Scald
- Curse
- Recover
Description: Just your standard annoyer to switch in after you got OHKO’d by a setup sweeper.

I get that HP Fire is for Scizor, but that’s not going to help you much compared to this set:

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP/104 Def/152 SpD
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Recover
Description: Another standard Toxic Staller with a littlest bit of an offensive pivot.

Espeon doesn’t add much to your team, and you said you needed a solid Defog user. Here it is:

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/252 SpA/4 SpD
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psychic
- Hidden Power (Fire)
Description: So HP Fire is for Scizor, but if you’d like, you can switch it out for Thunderbolt, but I personally prefer HP Fire. (Thunderbolt would be for Azumarill). Speaking of which, be very careful with Azumarill. They can set up a Belly Drum and if you don’t OHKO them at 75% health, which you probably won’t, then you might get swept if your Auagsire isn’t fainted.

Your Gliscor is more of a defensive Gliscor than offensive, and if you’re going to run that you might as well just use Eviolite Gligar. Here’s a Gliscor that better utilizes his attack stat.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 HP
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Roost
Description: Roost may be swapped for Protect to scout out your opponent and to allow the Toxic Orb to kick in, but Roost offers faster recovery than Protect + Poison Heal stalling, so I went with Roost.

Rotom-Heat @ Firium Z
Ability: Levitate
Modest Nature
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpD/4 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hidden Power (Ice)
Description: Bulky Attacker Rotom-H. Utilizes a Z Move, which your team is missing. Volt Switch and Will-O-Wisp are great utility moves. Not much else to say about this set.

And here is your slightly improved UU team. Thank you for your time.

Are you sure you won't recommend replacing Porygon2 with Blissey? Or Rotom with Infernape?
