If you use skarmory, you may want to change ferrothorn to a specially defensive variant and use physically defensive skarm because ferrothorn counters opposing water types more reliably with the extra special bulk and you would have skarmory to sponge outrages. Also spdef skarmory has trouble countering what it needs to as shown by these calcs:


252 Atk Terrakion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: (33.53 - 39.82%)
vs.
252 Atk Terrakion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Skarmory: (43.41 - 51.49%)


252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Aqua Tail vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory in rain: (45.8 - 54.19%)
vs.
252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Aqua Tail vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Skarmory in rain: (59.58 - 70.35%)

252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Superpower vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: 124-146 (37.12 - 43.71%)
vs.
252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Superpower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Skarmory: (48.2 - 56.88%)

I don't know if you forgot to mention it but skarm also helps oiut against breloom
