Please smogon pimp my team!

Hello, this is my second team and the mainly idea is to sweep with specsmence and CB Tar and the other guys give support to do this.

Salamence@ Choice specs
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Modest
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
-Draco meteor
-Dragon pulse
-Fire blast
-Hydro pump

Well, nothing to say here, my lead and powerful special attacker.

Tyranitar@ Choice band
Ability: Sanstream
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Sp. Def
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Stone edge
-Pursuit

The standard choice bander tyranitar with a lot of power and my counter to celebi, cresselia etc. Pursuit to do very good damage in a switch.

Forretress@ Leftovers/ Shed shell
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Relaxed
EV's: 252 HP/ 196 Def/ 62 Atk
-Gyro ball
-Rapid spin
-Stealth rock
-Zap cannon

My physical wall and spinner. Gyro ball for STAB. Zap cannon to support the team and also counter to gyarados, but its accuracy its bad, so I dont know if replace it with Earthquake or Explosion. Stealth rock to support the team, but maybe I should put spikes or toxic spikes. Evs 196 to reach 401 in Def and the rest in Atk.

Blissey@ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Def/ 4 HP
-Ice beam
-Softboiled
-Thunder wave
-Aromatherapy/ Seismic toss/ Counter/ Charm

My special wall with support to the team. Ice beam to make grounds and dragons think twice switch in. Softboiled to recover damage. Thunder wave for support to the team. In the fourth move honestly I dont know what to put there, so I need some suggestions here on the fourth move and maybe suggestions on the evs spread.

Vaporeon@ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold
EV's: 188 HP/ 252 Def/ 68 Sp. Atk.
-Wish
-Surf
-Protect
-Hidden power (electric)

My wish passer and also can counter gyarados and mixape. I dont know if put toxic over protect to take out other bulky waters.

Machamp@ Leftovers/ Life orb
Ability: No guard
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 108 HP/ 144 Atk/ 252 Def
-Dynamicpunch
-Stone edge
-Rest
-Sleep talk

My status absorber, mainly to absorb those annoying hypnosis and sleep powder that can ruin my specsmence or CB Tar. It has evs in def to be able to take more hits.

Thats all, but I need some suggestions about moves, evs, etc., also if you have some good replacements that would fit good in my team would be welcomed. Maybe I need something to handle bulky waters like calm mind suicune or sleeptalker milotic those give me some problems. Also I dont know if put wish on blissey and replace vaporeon for starmie with t-bolt or replace machamp for something else.

So please smogon pimp my team!
 
It would help if you explain why each pokemon is on your team, instead of just saying "Standard"

Heres what I see so far -

Standard Garchomp(especially Choice Band) will maul every member of your team in 1-2 hits, and none of your pokemon outspeed it or resist Outrage(Tress will be slaughtered by Fire Fang/Blast). Blissey can't switch into it, obviously.

Try using Mixmence as a lead -

Salamence @ Life Orb
Rash
252 SpA, 120 Atk, 136 Spe

Brick Break
Draco Meteor
Flamethrower
Roost

Is more flexible as a lead than Specsmence.




What is Vappy really even doing for this team anyways? Try replacing it with Bronzong(with Stealth Rock), and give Fortresses Toxic Spikes.
 
Bump after 24 hours, not 30 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend using half of your main sweeping force as a lead.

Keep Protect on Vaporeon, it helps it scout Choice items.

I wouldn't bother investing 252 EVs in SpA for Blissey.

Your team's also fairly slow, I recommend you get rid of Machamp, and get a fast sweeper. Your Blissey can use Aromatherapy to clear status.



Led Zeppelin are awesome.
 
Well, thanks for the suggestions, then I would replace machamp for a fast sweeper and run aromatherapy in blissey, vaporeon is my wisher and counter for mixape and gyrados, but I was also thinking to run wish on blissey and then replace vaporeon for something else.
