Wish Vappy. IB>HP Elec since I have GDos covered by Uxie.

I'm sensing some serious weaknesses here, so a little help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Malfunction

nice desu ne
Opponent sends out Electivire@Expert Belt!
Earthquake (metagross)
Thunder Punch (Vaporeon)
Cross Chop (Weavile)
Ice Punch (yanmega - Dugtrio)

Careful for these. Also, you need a special wall. I suggest you switch vaporeon with milotic/suicune. They could serve better.

I love how this team is structured and built around the offense it poseses. I must admit I haven't seen anything similar.

If that U-turn is performed against Tyranitar...and it used Pursuit, you may find yourself in trouble with Gyarados because you will have lossed enough health to allow Gyarados to OHKO your Uxie after a Dragon Dance has been set up. Anyway, that's situational and shouldn't be worried about as much as the next issue.

Lucario, as always, creates an unfortunate problem for many teams...and this is another one. It seems that your only solution is using Thunder Wave on him with Uxie who will hold of the Crunch, but barely (and this is assuming you're at max HP). Follows on to OHKO Metagross and Vaporeon with Close Combat, and finishing off Yanmega, Weavile and Dugtrio with the priority move, Extremespeed.

Let's cut the the chase, I believe you can remove something (Metagross, personally) in order to patch up some loose ends in the team. I know it's offensively based, but I feel that a Gliscor could work wonders over Metagross. With an extra Pokemon that (with Ice Fang) can stop Garchomp, or atleast activate its Yache Berry so Weavile can come in and finish it off. It also covers Lucario and Heracross particulary well. You could even throw U-turn on the set to keep pressure on the opponent with your Dugtrio, Weavile and Yanmega in the wings. Of course you would still use Ice Fang, Earthquake and Roost too.

Now you can replace Ice Beam on Vaporeon with Hidden Power [Electric] for complete Gyarados coverage. You can always add Ice Beam on Uxie over Thunderbolt once this change has been made (because I feel Salamence will wreck Vaporeon anyway, with or without Ice Beam).

Let me know how this goes, Gmax. Quality team though!

Not sure if Metagross is exactly the best choice for that role. The way you described him is to "pick off Blissey" so Dugtrio can get in a kill. With Weavile already doing that job (with Pursuit). Also, you have 3 strong physical sweepers (all Choice Banded) so you can afford to get rid of one (Metagross) and tie up all the loose ends of your team (as someone mentioned you need something to soak up special hits well).

Hope this helped ^^.

I like the bit about U-Turn Gliscor! Yes, another Bulky U-Turner haha! But then Bliss can't be OHKOed leaving Yanmega open to being swept. Oh well, I'll deal with that when I come to it. So max/max HP/Def Bold Gliscor with EQ/U-Turn/Ice Fang/Roost?

Impish nature. You don't need all 252 EVs in Defense, personally...try 80 EVs in SDef so you can Roost Ice Beam attacks from Blissey / Cressilia for only 45% (ish) of damage. Although it's not "needed", yet an alternative. Max Defense is fine.
 
You can always rely on Dugtrio to take out Blissey, so Yanmega isn't a complete lost cause =)
