Rate my Metagross based offensive team

As you can see from the title above my team is based on Metagross which was one of my favorite poke in Advance Era. Too bad its use is greatly decrease by Bronzong, so i decide to use Agility Metagross for the center of my team. I think my team has some Mamoswine, TTar, Garchomp, and Infernape weak and no form of special wall.

Machamp @Leftover
Ability: No Guard
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spe
-Dynamic Punch
-Stone Edge/ Ice Punch
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

My team's anti-lead. Resist or at least neutral anything that TTar throw. Stone Edge helps to deal with Flying types, Ghosts, and almost everything else that resists Fighting. STAB Dynamic Punch is to kill off TTar. He is also great counter to Gengar since he can take Hypnosis from him and OHKO back with lucky sleep talked Stone Edge.

Garchomp @Life Orb
ABility: Sand Veil
Nature: Naughty
EV's: 16 Atk / 252 SpA / 240 Spe
-Sword Dance
-Earthquake
-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast

Chain Chomp. His purpose is sort of Physical Sweeper but mainly luring the annoying Hippowdon, Gliscor....etc and KOed back with either Draco Meteor or Fire Blast, so make Metagross easier to sweep.

Gliscor @Leftover
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
-Sword Dance
-Roost
-Baton Pass
-Taunt

He is my team's Baton Passer. Taunt the Skarmory, Weezing, and their friend and passed the guaranteed Baton Pass to the Metagross or Gyrados.

Metagross @Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
EV's:: 152 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Spe
-Meteor Mash
-ThunderPunch
-Agility
-Earthquake

Center of pokemon. Get the Sword Dance from Gliscor and proceed to sweep. STABed Meteor Mash is massive pain to everything that doesn't resist and possibly increase his attack stat and make Metagross ultimate Kryptonite. Earthquake covers Steel without Bug type, flying type, and Levitate which mean it covers any steel except Bronzong, Skarmory, and Forrestress. Thunderpunch OHKO Gyarados (possibly Skarmory), and deals massive damage to water and other flier that weaks to Electric. After Agility, it pretty much outspeed everything except Scarf Garchomp and Gengar.

Jirachi @Leftover
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Impish
EV's: 240 HP / 56 Atk / 76 Def / 136 Spe
-Wish
-Reflect
-Zen Headbutt
-Stealth Rock

Provide wish to my team and U-Turn if counter shows up. I didn't decide which one to use in fourth slot. Stealth Rock make Metagross lot easier to sweep since it usually OHKO Skarmory after Sword Dance but reflect make Gyarados much more durable and make it possibly counter Heracross, Mamoswine

Gyarados @Leftover
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 212 HP / 16 Atk / 180 Def / 100 Spe
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Stone Edge
-Taunt

Standard Bulky DD dos. He can possibly got Sword Dance from Gliscor, Dragon Dance up, and proceed to sweep the entire team. He counters Heatran, Weavile definitely, and possibly counter Heracross, Mamoswine after Reflect. STABed Waterfall deals lots of damage to Infernape, Heatran, Hippowdon, Kryptonite TTar and after DD and SD Waterfall pretty much OHKO everything if Gyarados doesn't outspeeded by other poke and kill by thunderbolt or if the thing can resist the water. Stone Edge is obviously to destory any flier and big helps against Gyrados, Salamence...etc. Taunt the wall like Skarmory, again get DD, and proceed to sweep.
 
Wouldn't Shed Shell just completely dominate the whole purpose of this team? I think you'd just be better off using a Taunt SD Passing Gliscor instead of Leafeon, and remove the Magnezone for another Wisher. Jirachi seems to work incredibly well here, as it still offers the numerous resistances as well as Stealth Rock. With SR, after a SD to Metagross, you'll OHKO Skarmory roughly 85% of the time as well.

Although the lack of Heatran protection kind of hurts, so we can try something like, Gyarados over Weezing, who still owns Skarmory (Taunt) and can use the SD extremely well (Dragon Dance to raise speed), and resists Fire, and still helps against Heracross, Mamoswine and Weavile. With Wish support from Jirachi, and perhaps use Reflect on it, Gyara will be pretty durable.
