Heracross' current set is seriously walled by Steels. As appealing as Facade sounds for the doubled power while statused, Low Kick is the better option for hitting Steel Pokemon hard, especially considering the fact that most of them are heavy.

Clefable is rather terrible in the upper tiers, to be honest. Blissey is far superior in the supporting department because of its better Special bulk:
-Aromatherapy
-Softboiled
-Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
-Thunder Wave/Toxic
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

Like Clefable, Leafeon isn't too good either. Also, Leafeon shares a Fire and Flying weakness with Heracross; I'll suggest something like Heatran to help cover those weaknesses:
-Fire Blast/Overheat
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power (Ice)/Dragon Pulse
-Explosion
Nature: Rash/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Specs

But, since you now have 2 Pokemon weak to Fighting, I'll put Gengar in as your next Pokemon:
-Substtute
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Hidden Power (Fire)/Hypnosis/Pain Split
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

If it's allowed, I'll let the others come up with suggestions for the last slots.

The reason why I didn't suggest Sunny Day was because it amplifies Heracross' Fire weakness.

I would go for a scarfed, fully offensive Heracross. Like mentioned without a fighting move, it gets walled by steel.

I used facade because of heracrosses gut ability and the toxic orb, and while poisoned it couldn't be put under sleep or paralyzation. I think I might swap leafeon for vapoureon or umbreon, and i like the use of blissey, but with ice beam instead of flamethrower, and toxic over thunder wave, thanks for the tips :)

The reason why Flamethrower or Seismic Toss is used over Flamethrower is because while Ice Beam has good coverage, it's stopped by Steels (and other Ice Pokemon). Flamethrower gives Blissey a way to hit Steels hard, while Seismic Toss inflicts consistent damage on the opponent, given Blissey's average Special Attack.
