XY OU Heracross Team help me with the members and moves :)

Folks I am trying to edit with the mentors suggestions to put more information about it, if you wanna more data to rate and made suggestion tell me inbox or here!!!!!!
THIS IS MY FIRST TEAM :)

I’m very newbie at that but I studied too much to made this team, but I thought that needs a HELP and SUGGESTIONS of the members and MENTORS to give more consistency to this, so HELP ME OUT with this team with your rate and observations and I need to know what is the best choices to lead the team. Thank you very Much!!!!

HERACROSS########
name: SUPERSTAR – PRINCIPAL MEMBER (Bug/Fight)
move 1: Close Combat
Move 2: Pin Missile
move 3: Rock Blast
Move 4: Bullet Seed
ability: Moxie / Guts => Skill Link after MEGA
Item: Heracronite
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe Nature: Adamant

Comments – This Heracross is the principal member of the team for me Hera has the most powerfull attack with good skills.
With Close Combat and Pin missile STABS against most of non wall pokes it will be OHKO, the priority here is to use him against ferrothorn, normal pokes, grass, psychic.
And Rock blast against most of threaths (Fly, Fire).
Bullet Seed was an option between the lack of a grass type on my team (Example: Against OU - Rottom W).
Weak - Can't see a talonflame or a flying faster pokes And aegislash can wrack my friend with shadow sneak.
OBS: This guy may enter after my Talonflame Tailwind or as a lead depending on the teams.


GARCHOMP########
name: Body Guard (Ground/Dragon)
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Dragon Tail / Dragon claw
Move 3: Rock Slide
move 4: Fire Blast
ability: Rough Skin
item: Rocky Helmet EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Impish

Comments – This is the Heracross body guard against the threats with the Rock slide move, Garchomp is fast have a good defense and is very powerfull.
He has the unique ground STAB move of my team.
But I’m with doubts between Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw moves.
That Fire blast can help me against steel or grass threats even Ice (Second option if my Talonflame squishy dies).
Weak- Ice moves can hurt him a lot.

TALONFLAME######## name: Offensive (Flying/Fire)
move 1: Brave Bird
move 2: Flare Blitz
move 3: Roost
move 4: Tailwind
ability: Gale Wings
item: Sharp Beak
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Nature: Adamant

Comments – This is the most powerful guy that I ever seen, fast, nice attack, and have priority moves with Gale wings.
Other good stuff is tailwind that doubles the team speed, and heracross will be very grateful to that.
Brave bird, Roost and Tailwind skills with gale wings to priories his moves first.
And Flare Blitz STAB to burn all steel types like Scizor that are fast and dangerous to my team.
I have not much to say about this fellow but this guy serves me with tailwind to help my Heracross and the others to doubled their speed.
Weak - Stealth Rock can hurt him and very fast pokes with priority moves can take he in disadvantadge.

FLORGES########
name: Defensive Sp ATK (Fairy) move 1: Moonblast
move 2: Wish
move 3: Protect
move 4: Aromatherapy / Toxic ability: Flower Veil
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD nature: Calm

Comments – She never dies and help the others to recover and clean themselves. I Choose this one because of she powerful defensive skills and stats of SP Defense.
This is a good member to my team, and a Beautiful ANTI-DRAGON.
Moonblast do a lots of damage not only to dragon types
She has a leftovers and with protect and wish can be very tough opponent against the special attackers.
My cleric.
Weak- Steel or poison moves can hurt him and he cant recover!

Greninja ########
name: All-Out Attacker (Water / Dark)
move 1: Hydro Pump
move 2: Ice Beam
move 3: Extrasensory
move 4: Dark Pulse
ability: Protean
item: Life Orb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Nature: Timid

Comments – My Special Sweeper against Other Heracross threats, like AEGISLASH and other ghost types. Got him cause he has a trumph with protean! STABs!!!
Hydro pump with life orb can kill a OHKO and ice beam can be very helpful against grass, flying and other types.
Extrasensory will be a very defensive skill against greninja threats.
Made it to attack all!!!
Weak- if he picks a pokemon wall or a pokemon that have an attack that hurts his protean type he is in trouble cause he don't have any defenses and use a life orb.

Jolteon######
name: No one will flies near Heracross (Electric)
move 1: Thunderbolt
move 2: Roar
move 3: Hidden Power Ice
move 4: Volt Switch
ability: Volt Absorb
item: Choice Specs
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Nature: Timid

Comments – This guy is fast and can kill easily Blastoise and other water and flying types that my lack of grass attackers can’t kill.
He’s most surprise move is the ice HP to kill grass and a threat that is gliscor and other ground types.
And he have a very useful skill that is Volt Switch.
Roar here in only to cancel the bulky ones!
Weak- wall Special and faster pokes can hurt him a lot.

I know that my team is not one of the best teams but I’d try to use my brain to made that, so if you can help me suggesting other members to made my team tough and aggressive I will appreciated that!
Thank you and sorry about my newbie post :)

You should probably add pictures of your pokemon to make the post look cleaner, and you can just copy paste the team from showdown. just import the team and paste it on here. no need to format it like that.

There are quite a few changes you should make to your team but you have a decent start. First of all florges and jolteon are outclassed by a few pokemon in OU. Florges has very little synergy with your team as well so I would definitely replace that.

Heatran is a pretty good replacement for florges. it gives you a switch in to fairy attacks, a decent spdef mon, a check to aegislash if you're playing in aegi meta, and rocks for hera to help get ohko/2hko. It pairs very well with heracross with its resistances.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 8 SpA / 208 SpD / 40 Spe
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power

Thundurus is a good replacement for jolteon as it has priority twave and it beats the bulky waters/flying types that heracross has trouble with. it beats talonflame that aren't jolly and is another check to pinsir.

Thundurus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder Wave

Additionally, I would give Heracross sD over bullet seed to handle stall a bit better and bullet seed does hit some stuff harder than your other moves, but SD is usually just the better option.
 
Very Good analysis, I will try to change first of all my florges!
About Heatran and thundurus, they are legendary.
Do you have an another option non-legendary to switch with those?
 
What about if they're both legendary? You use mega heracross, a pokemon that has higher or equal stats to both of those Pokemon. Also, Thundurus and Heatran are probably easier to take down due to Heatran having quite a few weaknesses, especially ground as it is 4x super effective against it. So yeah, replace Jolteon and Florges with Heatran and Thundurus. :P
 
The only difficult here is...I dont have pokemon black and white to pick a heatran and teach him stealth rock.
Can someone help me at this task?
I will edit my team and put the results later.
