Problems I can see:
- 3 x 200% bug weaknesses and only really forretress to absorb it, be very careful with that
Watch for Heracross who always packs megahorn
Gliscors a good counter with higher speed and aerial ace though I dont know if itd fit on your team

-2 x 400% to ice but you can just switch into vaporeon or forretress

-Substitute seems rather pointless on Torterra because he doesnt take advantage of it in any way, he also is a better physical wall, its always better to work with pokemons strengths

Consider:

Torterra (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 200 HP/252 def/58 atk or speed
Impish nature (+ def, - sp.atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Substitute
- Leech seed
- Wood Hammer/Crunch

-I also think itd be better to replace either toxic or yawn on vaporeon with ice beam to get rid of dragons and grasses + again go with Vaporeon's strengths which isnt defense but sp.def

-Forretress works best like this

[email protected]
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 hp,162 atk, 96 def
-Toxic spikes
-Spikes/earthquake/gyro ball
-Rapid Spin
-Explosion


-Umbreon: Pick either yawn or toxic and moonlight or wish and give it taunt to stop set ups and give possibly give him confuse ray though it worries me that he has no attacking moves

If you are going for a stall team, you WILL need an anti-spin. Spiritomb is nice

No point in backing his special defense, stick with the strong points. Consider EQ for extra STAB

Consider protect to stall out some more toxic pain, also helps self heal with Wish...

Gyro Ball hurts coming from this thing, also Explosion might not be the best thing to do to your spinner as well

A lot of weird EVs there, SDef shouldn't be an issue for pokemon like Forretress and Torterra as they will get walked over by Flamethrowers and Ice Beams regardless.

Umbreon and Vaporeon seem to be doing the exact same thing, I'd consider replacing one with a more reliable Special Wall... Blissey, Snorlax, Regice, Articuno... whatever you want

The majority of stuff's been covered. I'd also scrap Jolly on torterra, speeding that thing up is pointless. Go Adamant or impish.

Actually, both of them can turn out to be fairly sturdy if they carry wish. Regice doesn't get that sort of reliable recovery. But true, they are doing exactly the same thing. Snorlax would cover the double 4x Ice weakness the team has.

Suggestion:
- Azelf (Lead)
- Garchomp
- Snorlax
- Forretress
- Torterra (If you must)
- Vaporeon

Azelf as lead is kinda bad, CB Tar can survive any un boosted hit from it and Pursuit it. Same with weavile except its faster and doesnt need to survive. Ive used elf as a lead before and regretted it for that reason.

Starting a match out 5-6 automatically, puts you on the back foot. Azelf is the best lead here however. But i think leading with Chomp may be better.

Torterra is a tank and should be EV'D as such. Sub just cuts away from its hp needlessly

I prefer the ability to hit Heatran and actually do something to dark types.

Max speed is redundant, you outspeed Gengar with 216 evs, 42 hp allows you to survive a weaviles pursuit should you stay in AND a specs starmie surf.

Jolly plzz.

Comments are in bold, IMO you really need a special wall >> Umbreon who is dead weight on this team. Really special sweepers walk all over you. Snorlax as said above or Blissey should suffice.


What you do need aswell is a sold fighting resist, I think Gliscor >> Torterra may be wise, or Heracross, Lucario etc REALLY hurt.


Something to consider.

Heracross/SD Luke weakness. I would put a standard Gliscor > Torterra, with Stealth Rock as the support move for extra residual damage.

In my opinion Gyro Ball > Toxic Spikes - Gyro Ball allows Forretress to handle Weavile and other stuff while having Explosion as your only attack makes you vulnerable. I actually would suggest Light Screen > Explosion for general support.

For Vaporeon HP Electric > Yawn for Gyarados, I actually would prefer Roar on the last slot instead of Toxic for PHazing, considering that Vaporeon would not actually lure in threatening walls to Toxic them.

Scrap Umbreon - it is easily walled and your team would have no need of the utilities it provides. I would advise you to go with the other rater's suggestions and put Snorlax > Umbreon for special threats, Body Slam/Crunch/Rest/Sleep Talk.

Lastly I believe Yache Berry is a superior option on Garchomp - I am inclined to say that SubSDChomp does not do much unless in Sandstorm scouting for a miss. Including Tyranitar/Hippowdon here would pretty much change the way the team works so I would advise against introducing one of them.
If you do use SubSDChomp, Salac Berry is the best item you can have on it, Brightpowder is not advisable. Leftovers are available if your HP is odd.

Yache Berry is the superior option to break Cresselia which your team would have major problems with.

This team is REALLY Bug weak.

Torterra: Don't give it SDef EVs. It'll still be OHKOed by Ice Beam. Oh, and, give it an Impish Nature.

Vaporeon: Ice Beam>Yawn, DO NOT MAX OUT HP, PUT SOME OF THE HP EVs IN S-ATK

Forry: No S-Def EVs, Max out HP, almost max out Def, put rest in Attack, Impish Nature

Umby: Toxic, Mean Look, Confuse Ray, Baton Pass/Rest/Moonlight/Wish

Garchomp: Most HP EVs.

Hey, guys, imagine if my Jolly Life Orb Electivire with 3 Elemental Punches and Cross Chop came along...

Oh, well, if he's using Gyro Ball, sure. If not, use Impish.

I wanted to point out, Torterra has pretty respectable sp.def. Only his Ice weakness put him down.
