I feel it's worth noting on Empoleon just how bad of a move Hydro Pump is on the set. It does give it more room against Pokemon like Bronzong and Snorlax, but you can't ever rely on a 1 in 5 miss rate if your goal is to completely sweep a weakened team. It's too critical to hit reliably for Hydro Pump to work. Same as it was in OU last gen.

Also, Megahorn is really worth a slash on the Tank Rhyperior set over Dragon Tail.
