To start with, Slowbro isn't that good a lead. You can probably try Swampert instead of lanturn who will help you with stealth rock and also you don't seem to have an earthquake, swampert will help you with it. Swampert can also absorb lightning similarly =) Use slowbro as a Calm Mind sweeper.

Not always does the opponent have less than 50% HP, so Surf might be better in many cases than Brine on Empoleon. Anyways, Starmie has also got decent defenses and good special attack and comes with a base 115 speed, so there's no need for wasting a turn with agility and stuff, go with life orb if you want power as you already have a spinner.

Also, you don't seem to use the most common water OUs (Milotic, Swampert, Vaporeon, Gyarados, Starmie, Suicune) and i do not understand why. Gyarados will provide you Ground immunity and has the potential to sweep entire teams. Gyarados >>> Azumarill except for priority move (aqua jet). Suicune with 404hp/ 361def is amazing with calm mind ^^

5 special attackers and one physical attacker isn't great, you can try Poliwrath for Hypnosis and SubPunch somewhere.

Bibarel is a good lead as well, read here
