You're lacking a Z-move user, and Flying is a much better offensive type than Dragon, so give Salamence Fly over Outrage, and change the item to the Flying Z Crystal. Also consider replacing Fire Blast with Fire Fang, to make better use of Dragon Dance and Moxie.

Banded Scizor isn't as good as Mega Scizor, but you also have Mega Ttar, so I guess it's fine.

Spore isn't really all that great with how prevalent Tapu Koko and Fini are, so consider using replacing it with Sludge Bomb or Stomping Tantrum. Since you have Regenerator for recovery, you could also drop Black Sludge and Synthesis for Assault Vest, and run both Sludge and Stomp. I'd also swap out Energy Ball for Giga Drain, because the extra healing is nice.

I'd personally run Flamethrower over Fire Blast on Volcanion, but that's just me.

Mega Ttar looks fine.

Zapdos needs some serious work. Ancient Power and Air Cutter are useless, so replace them with Defog and Roost. Defog because your team is fairly Rock weak and so would really appreciate the removal of Stealth Rocks, and Roost to keep Zapdos healthy so it can remove hazards throughout the match. Also replace Thunderbolt with Discharge for that juicy 30% chance to spread the yellow color. You could also swap out Pressure for Static for even more paralysis spreading, but that's mostly up to personal preference. Finally, make it physically defensive to better check threats like Hawlucha.
