Items and EVs would totally be appreciated.

I'll assume this is Gen V, with some Gen VI focus mixed in.

Ferrothorn is ABSOLUTE Taunt bait with its current move set. It really needs an offensive move somewhere, like Gyro Ball and Power Whip, its strongest STAB moves. Preferred EV spread is 252 HP/48 Def/208 SDef and the item should be Leftovers.

Gardevoir's moveset looks offensive yet it's using a defensive nature? Pointless:
-Will-o-Wisp
-Wish/Pain Split
-Protect/Heal Bell
-Psychic/Moonblast
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Trace

or
-Psychic
-Moonblast
-Focus Blast
-Trick/Thunderbolt
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace

Really, the only Pokemon who benefits from Espeon's Calm Mind boosts is Gardevoir, and no one else, so BPing boosts is pointless:
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Psychic/Psyshock
-Baton Pass/Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce

or
-Psychic/Psyshock
-Hidden Power (Fire)
-Signal Beam/Grass Knot
-Baton Pass/Protect
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Magic Bounce

Scizor's EV spread should be 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef; its item should be Choice Band.

RestTalk Snorlax isn't very effective, since Ghosts wall it entirely. It's up to you to add something else.

I don't see what you're up to with Haxorus here. Rock Slide is absolutely pointless, as its other moves can handle threats just fine. Iron Tail may see some use in Gen VI for Fairies:
-Swords Dance
-Outrage
-Superpower/Low Kick
-Substitute/Aqua Tail/Earthquake/Iron Tail
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Fighting Gem/Lum Berry/Life Orb
Ability: Mold Breaker

or
-Outrage
-Superpower
-Earthquake
-Aqua Tail/Iron Tail/Dragon Claw
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Mold Breaker

or
-Dragon Dance
-Swords Dance
-Outrage
-Low Kick/Earthquake
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Draco Plate/Lum Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker

or
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Low Kick/Iron Tail/Taunt
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Yache Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker
