With Bronzong and Steelix, you have defense stat upping moves, but no means of recovery. No way can a Steelix come in on Garchomp's EQ, survive another to Toxic, and then stall it out with leftover recovery on HARDEN.

Show everyone that you can be multi-talented, too. Fight using creative teams. Actually think out movesets. Do things people wouldn't expect. Use a few of your favorites, even if they're not the most popular choices. No single team is invincible, and eventually you'll figure that out when someone like me takes out your all-legendary roster with a team with a few underused pokemon in it.

It's a do one or the other thing unless the physical sweeper is burnt. In all my battles with a garchomp on this team, steelix survived EQ with more than half and able to toxic garchomp in time before he fainted from a 3rd EQ.

Immediately I see a big Heracross weakness (is it the new trend now?) Nothing can safely switch in, and Steelix takes a lot from Close Combat and can't do anything back. Heracross can come in on Toxic and with the Guts bonus OHKO to 2HKO anything on your team.

Your movesets are way off. First of all, Manetric is an Electric type special sweeper, and it won't function without Hidden Power Ice/Grass. Choice Scarf is a poor option on Manectric, 105 SpA doesn't threaten much and you would risk locking yourself into Thunderbolt. There is also absolutely no way that Manetric can switch in given its fraility. I would suggest you ditch it.

Will-O-Wisp is a poor option on Infernape who can't take a hit with 76/71/71 defences. To use it on a physical sweeper is pretty much sacrificing Infernape for something that could be easily done with a wall. Ditch Will-O-Wisp and put in Swords Dance, to heighten your chances of sweeping.

Steelix is a poor choice for a physical wall in the OU metagame, simply put its weaknesses to Fighting and Ground hurt it A LOT. Steelix has no business switching into Garchomp and attempting to harden, as EQ would KO you next turn after Toxic. Ditch it for Skarmory.

The Bronzong set is not good as steel-types would just come in and wait for CH's, or set up on you (Lucario, Jirachi). Bronzong also has a high tendency to get phazed, and once that's done it can't function as much else.

Slowking is too... slow. Amnesia already identifies you as a stat upping tank and a physical attacker would be sent in to deal with it. Psychic is a horrible attacking type in OU, it is resisted by many pokemon, Surf is standard. Ditch Slowking for another pokemon as it gets walled and set up on too easily.

I would advise a revamping of your team as your walls do not cut it as prime walling material, Steelix being hindered by its unfortunate weaknesses, Bronzong being walled by Steel/Poison types and susceptible to Phazing, and Slowking being too susceptible to hits on the physical side, something Steelix can't take.
