For your monodark team:

- Zoroark's nature needs to be changed, as the +Atk won't help

- Honchkrow should be holding an item, probably life orb

- Your Honchkrow knows Nasty Plot but doesn't know any special attacks. Get rid of Nasty Plot and put in Superpower or Drill Peck

- Honchkrow has a -Atk nature. Make it Adamant or Jolly

- Even if your Hydreigon is a mixed sweeper (I don't recommend it, but up to you), you should not make it a nature that lowers his SpA, as that's his main selling point

- Your Absol is holding Blackglasses, but doesn't know any Dark moves. Give it Sucker Punch instead of Flamethrower and Night Slash instead of Ice Beam

- A hardy nature doesn't work well for Absol. Make it Adamant or Jolly, and invest all EVs into Atk and Speed. Absol isn't meant to be a tank.

- Get rid of Incinerate on your Houndoom and change his nature

What's stopping your team from being raped by ice? Both Skarmory and Mantine take neutral. If anything Crobat with Heat Wave would do some good here.

Nice, Aerodactly is a good lead for monoflying. Your Ninjask and Emolga could easily be replaced by pokemon more suited to their role (namely Staraptor & Zapdos). Yes, your monoflying will most likely lose to a monoice, but I wouldn't worry. In the monotype tier, there are some matchups that you simply cannot win. Focus on the other 16 types rather than your team's Achilles' heel.
