Gengar: Although the EVs are perfect, the moves are not a Gengar move set (looks more like a Dusknoir's). Gengar's only purpose is to hit hard and fast, to prevent other pokemon from picking its fragil defenses. Toxic is a move used to stall with a wall. When will you ever use toxic with Gengar, who will most likely die in one hit anyway? Get Ice Beam or Thunderbolt for coverage, or Sludge Bomb for power (more powerful then Shadow ball on him). As for mean look, its an ok move, though I think one of the three mentioned above would work better, Mean look has potential.
Kingdra: I have a Kingdra with the exact same move set (Hydro pump is Dragon pulse though), and for me it works great.
Mewtwo: Though legendaries arent my specialty, what I'm shocked about is the move set. From far as I know, Mewtwo is fragile, so is recover worth it? After calm mind boosts, it can be used, but wouldn't Psychic be better (for STAB and pure power?). Even with Recover, I believe Psychic would work better then Ice beam. Psychic kills all but Steel and Dark, which Focus Blast covers. Ice has potential with Dragons, but Mewtwo and Psychic can 1-hit-KO any sweeper, and 2-hit-KO almost any wall (not counting boosts and assuming you picked a sweeper's perfered EV spread). I would defenitaly work Psychic in that move set. Another thing is that you seem to be forcing the idea of Mewtwo walling. Why not just give all speed and power for EVs? I dont know legendaries well, but this doesnt seem like the right choice for a Mewtwo.
Magnezone: He is probably tied for the best electric type (other being Electrivire), so I think he would make a perfect addition to your team. However, without knowing how to use Hidden Power well (with correct IVs), you might be short one move. His move set should probably be Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Explosion, and, if you know how Hidden power works, Hidden power Grass or Water. If you don't know how to use Hidden power, Magnet Rise has potential, and so can Reflect or Light Screen. Although I dont have exact EVs, the EV spread should be somewhere like this.
220 SpA / 200 Speed / 80 Atk
The special attack and speed are obvious, while those extra attack will give some boost to Explosion.
Mamoswine: Although I'm not really a fan of him, he is a good pokemon. Earthquake is obvious, power, STAB, and coverage. Ice Fang is really his best Physical Ice option, but it will do. Of course, Ice Shard can be used instead, in order to go first with that move. Then you have Stone Edge or Rock Slide, its power and criticles vs. accuracy and pp. I personally like Rock Slide better. His other moves have flexibity. Curse is particulary good, he doesnt mind the speed drop and the attack boost really helps. If you plan to be switching often, Superpower gets a mention. For pure power right away, but dropping your stats. If your doing this team for fun, and not competitive battling, Fissure is always there for luck. Body Slam gets a mention for paralysis chance, but is more of a filler then anything. As for EVs go, its tough to decided. Using Curse will make you put all in attack, and then probably all in Defense, to get the most out of those boosts. Any other move however, he can pull a sweeper set if needed. Putting all in attack and speed is an option. it really depends on the type of Mamoswine you want, tank or sweeper. I think he pulls tank better.
Tyranitar: Im doing Tyranitar over Ho-oh for 2 reasons. 1) I dont know legendaries well, and they are pretty cheap. 2) Tyranitar's Sandstorm ability has potential with 3 pokemon on the team immune to sandstorm (and getting the 1.5x special defense boost). Tyranitar pretty much has three moves gaurenteed. Earthquake, Crunch, and Rock slide/Stone edge. The last move set is more of a "what do you fear more?" sorta thing. Ice fang is if you fear Garchomp and Salamance. Dragon Claw is if you fear Palkia and Kingdra. If you fear nothing, then Dragon Dance is a really good set to use, as Tyranitar can become a great physical sweeper.
Dragon Dance EVs: Around 252 attack / 200 Speed / 50 Hp or simply 252 attack / 252 speed / 4 Hp
Ice fang/Dragon claw Evs: 252 attack / 252 speed / 4 Hp
