Is this team valid

hey guys, I've been loitering around my team for awhile. But I just can't seem to make it right. I need serious suggestions.

Lets start with

Togekiss (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serence Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SpD
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Heal Bell

Ever since I tried wave-flinch kiss, I think I wanna kiss her for real. Sure this annoy most people but it's legal. I've tried many other sets and the one most notable is the np set (np/air slash/roost/heal bell ,beat chansey with +6 lol). At first I'm thinking about replacing heal bell with thunder wave/body slam then I realized my team really need that cleric support (burn for sciz, toxic on evrything else). My team also lacks speedsters, so paralyze supp is crucial.
The question here is about Ev, should I spend a bit on her speed because I really appreciate the Venusaur outsped. Anyway, this is my main special tank and my main pokemon.

Next

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serence Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Iron Head
- Wish
- Stealth Rock

I Wish steel still resist dark and ghost. I really do. Battle experiences say that Jirachi really worth the UU slot. But I insist to use it for personal matter. Together with kiss, this team started being a dreaded hax combo and I really love the reaction of the receiving end.
It pretty much does similar role as kiss as backup paralyzer but also setup the very important SR. I have lots of problems about this guy/girl. First about the Ev, since kiss is already a special tank, I put it as a physical one, but even then EQ still OHKO. Second, about that SR, I will lack the reliable recovery by protect, but seeing jirachi will make opponent switch anyway, so I prefer rocks. Also is it worth the Ev spread on Speed?

Let's keep going

Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Roost
- Earthquake
- U-turn

It's dangerous for kiss to go alone, she needs someone on her side, to cover each other weaknesses....
Alright, enough love story, jira would be so jealous(the bad side of not having sex). In the Past generation, he was the one that's been giving me the most nerve, now serve under me.
There is not much to be said on him, standard physical tank with roost, and the most important aspect is taunt, my team sole answer to setup abuser (cosmic power, setup setter, the blobsey sister and more) because none run whirlwind, haze, roar or oblivious. There is only one sole question regarding the last slot wether i use SR or u-turn or I swapped it with Jirachi.
I tried to subs him for skarmory, but electric immunity is nice. Still not be able to handle Mchar especiallY.

Not enough tank

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Train
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Superpower

Since I've mentioned Mchar, let us put something terribly weak to it, scizor. Only because he is my favorite. Okay second favorite. Scizor here has undergone much conditioning with me, especially with that spe stat. Once I went toe-to-toe with foe scizor and mine lose speed (both only has scizor left), so that's my new trauma.
I prefer knock off over pursuit for power reason and My team already has an answer for that. Slow u-turn for sect and my team only priority with bullet punch. Superpower i didn't use much often.

One Hit Wonder

Latios (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball

Ball lover, high risk high reward, that's what he is. Too bad he doesn't learn flash cannon.
I noticed my team lack a speed demon so I invited him. The first couple spell is self-explanatory, draco meteor for anybody thats not a pixie (or blobs), as for them are psyshocks. Shadow Ball is better as a neutral move than ice beam (hi aegis) and I started to dislike a suggestion pattern for the last slot. EB sounds itchy, so anything is welcome as trick with surf/thunderbolt/ice beam are potential but I don't have to worry about the drops when facing rotom-w.
He can wonder about not having soul dew all day (go make a wish upon a star).

Nail in cake

Blastoise-Mega (F) @ Blastoisinite
Trait: Mega Launcher
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SpD
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Water Pulse
- Rapid Spin

I almost forgot I have a mega slot left, originally this was used for scizor, swapped with venusaur and finally this.
I appreciate that rapid spin support and the only pokemon that won't ask questions.
Since she doesn't know anything about recovery, wish from jira is important. The coverage move is perfect except for croak which is rarelyseen. Dark pulse for ghosts (I still remember winning a game with dark water confusion flinch lol) and aura sphere for the creature of the nights.


This team might still need some work, there are threats:
- Rotom-W (seriously this guy wrecks my team bad, especially glis and blast, latios DM doesn't OHKO, scizor hate burn, togekiss can't wave, jirachi iron head is spitted)
- CharX/Y without rock and latios is down.
- Genesect if not banned

... and more
