Rate my Trick Room Team pls :L

Lolyness

I tested the team a lot on shoddy and gave it a few upgrades. Thank you very much for the ideas.

Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Will-o-wisp

Ampharos (F) @ Expert Belt

EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/6 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)

Tyranitar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 SDef
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Rock Slide
- Dragon Dance
--- Following the idea of strikesocom I have him a set up skill over Aerial Ace. In the fourth turn of Trick Room you start the DD and he gets the job done (Worked better than Swords Dance, Trick Room usally won't give you time to set up and sweep).

--- gaudetjaja was right and curselax ate my team alive. So I got one for myself and works perfectly.
 
Leading Gengar is just asking to be Taunted by a Gyarados and totally fuck up your entire team. Thunder Bolt>Destiny Bond to achieve added affect + Gyara counter. Should be at minimum a 2HKO allowing you to set up TR anyway.

Gyarados staying in on gar is 100% chutzpah, 20% Luck, and 47% Brilliance.
 
Curselax should be able to destroy your team after a few curses, and if Trick Room is in effect it will be almost unstoppable.

Having TR on Gengar seems kind of pointless to me. Destiny Bond has little use aswell if most of Gengars attacks should do a similar or better job. I suggest replacing Gengar with another Trick Roomer, or just make it a standardish Gengar to start off your team, who can sweep a bit if Trick Room is not in effect or something.
 
Every trick room team needs 1 or 2 fast sweepers for late game. Without them, you're basically screwed once all your Trick Roomers are dead.
 
there's a common problem with trick room teams and that is the overwhelming amount of trick roomers with a dark weakness. take out gengar or slowking and use something like porygon2.
 
I honor you for using Ampharos! I rised on myself. My suggest for Ampharos is give it shaca berry and maybe replace power gem with thunder wave.
 
I like the idea of Gengar setting up a TR, it's basically the same as a Shuppet setting up a trick room except it has less-predictability. I do think you should have an offensive move on it though. Since this is a TR related team, you will eventually notice that you use TR most of the time, as you see the obvious Blissey-switch-ins occurring a lot.

Which is good, because many of your TR'ers can easily set up on a Bliss. Especially T-Tar, who should really have something other than Aerial Ace on a TR LO set. I see Sword Dance being extremely beneficial, as that Bliss that is sure to switch into Gengar will only do %24 damage to T-Tar with SToss, and %17 with Ice Beam.

I recommend you replace one of your Bulky-TR-Sweepers with a Hazer to counter all cursers. There are many Bulky-Waters that have Haze in their arsenal you can browse through. Vaporeon and Blastoise come to my mind for this team first, as Vaporeon already has good offensive capability, and Blastoise also has Rapid Spin. If you don't want to part with Slowking, Weezing also makes a good Hazer and has a Quake resistance to possibly replace Torterra.
