Conk should obviously be running Brave over Adamant - typo? Also, I might use Mega Abomasnow over Mega Ampharos, it's power is overwhelming on both sides, it's slower, Blizzard provides more power than Discharge while not hitting your own Pokémon, and it pairs well with Magic Guard Reuniclus.

Abomasnow@Abomasite
Snow Warning
Brave/Quiet
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Sp Atk
~Blizzard
~Energy Ball/Wood Hammer/Giga Drain
~Ice Shard
~Protect/Earthquake

Reuniclus prefers Recover or Protect over Shadow Ball in doubles, Dusclops should probably have Protect over Helping Hand, and Conk might like Drain Punch better than either Hammer Arm or Façade. Note that Façade has 140 power with status while STAB Iron Fist Hammer Arm has 180 power, STAB Iron Fist Drain Punch has 143 power and heals, Super Effective Iron Fist Ice Punch has 180 power, and Super Effective Knock Off has 195 power. Since Façade doesn't hit anything at all Super Effectively, that makes it a pretty bad choice. Knock Off would also be better than Façade if you want to replace Hammer Arm with Drain Punch, as it provides strong (97.5 BP) coverage against Ghosts and Psychics while also being one of the best utility moves in the game. Ice Punch is better than Stone Edge as it hits Fliers but also nabs the common Ground and Dragon types. Conk also loves Assault Vest, as it is lacking in the Sp Def department. Guts can still be used to let Conk absorb status, but Iron Fist can also be used to boost Drain Punch, Ice Punch and Mach Punch. the set I'd recommend for Conkeldurr is:

Conkeldurr@Assault Vest
Iron Fist/Guts
Brave
252 HP/252 Atk/4 Sp Def
~Drain Punch
~Mach Punch
~Knock Off
~Ice Punch
 
I've decided on a few changes

  1. Due to the fact that Helping Hand Dusclops is only possible with the help of a Pokemon game I do not own, I'm switching out Helping Hand on Dusclops for Protect probably
  2. Switching out Ferrothorn for Talonflame for more synergy, and so that I have a fast Pokemon for when I'm unable to get Trick Room out
 
Update, I'm redoing Conk's moveset because I don't have the time to IV breed in BW2, and half of the moves on that set up there are BW2 tutor moves

Conkeldurr@Flame Orb
Guts
Brave
252 HP/252 Atk/4 Sp Def
~Drain Punch
~Mach Punch
~Rock Slide
~Protect

Unless someone wants to hand me a Conk with good IVs and the moveset that's listed a few posts above, this is what I think I'm going with
