Honestly, Heracross kills your team. All it has to do is switch into your Skarmory's Toxic and start In Fighting the entire team.

I suggest Drill Peck over Toxic. Also 252 HP.

And even then you'd still run into Cross problems
 
Go with Focus Punch, Outrage, or Dragon Claw over Thunder Fang on Tyranitar; Stone Edge will do more to Waters and Flyings.
Skarmory wants an Attacking move, and give it max HP and Defense
Hidden Power Ice for Heatran
Same Jirachi
Same Garchomp
The Suicune is fine

If a Taunt/Dragon Dance/Waterfall/Earthquake Gyarados gets in on Skarmory, then you're screwed.
 
Well Heatran can kill Hera. With AS im pretty sure it will go first and kill with Smoke Erupt. Any ideas on how to counter Gyara?
Thanks for your comments.
 
Hiidoran should have HP Grass, Swampert is way more deadly to your team than Gabu is.

In D/P, resting is Suicide, so you know. A much better choice on Skarm would be Feather Rest, and Suicune should have Reflect or Ice Beam.
 
I changed my team a bit. Hopfully its better. Your right that Heatran won't be able to switch into Hera, but once something dies its forced to either switch or die. Plus I put Drill Peck over Toxic so it won't be that hard to kill. I also have reflect/wish pass Jirachi to help. If you have anymore ideas on how to counter Hera better please say.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
 
Garchomp doesn't need absolute max Speed, just enough to beat the non-+Speed 115 bases and the max speed 100s. 330 does this, so give it 240 Speed. Put those EVs and the one HP EV into it's Special attack so you have a guarunteed 2HKO on Skarmory and 3HKO on Bronzong. Give Suicune Ice Beam. If you want complete Heracross protection, add Glicsor, who walls Hera from head to toe, OHKOing with Aerial Ace.

Glicsor also has Sand Veil and can learn Knock Off, to take advantage of sandstream.
