Iron Head

EVs make it bulky a little and the set is standard with Leftovers for more bulkiness and Iron Head for the ability to hit Ghosts such as Dusknoir.
This should not be leading, especially since you're walled by steels and minus attack power means sweeping will be even harder.

Wish
Surf
Ice Beam
HP Electric
Wish for recovery to Vaporeon and its teammates. Surf and Ice Beam will provide good coverage and should OHKO most Garchomps with the current EVs using Ice Beam. HP Electric deals with Gyarados. 128 Special Defense to take hits from Special attackers more easily.
Those EVs from a first glance look way over 510. 510-252=256. 256-56=200. 124 + 128 > 200 =/
HP Electric...ugh, it's so useless on Vaporeon besides Gyarados, it's rarely worth it. Not to mention that Zapdos + Venusaur do okay with Gyarados.

Discharge
Roost
Light Screen
HP Ice
Discharge is over Thunderbolt on this set because 30% chance to paralyze things is nice while losing little power. :D Light Screen to take Special hits more easily. HP Ice to pound Dragons. Roost for instant recovery and lose weaknesses such as Rock and Ice.
Looks fine.

Thunderpunch
Return
Earthquake
Shadow Claw
Night Slash+Thunderpunch or Ice Punch is illegal so I chose Shadow Claw instead. I use Thunderpunch over Ice Punch because I like to hammer Gyarados. :D Return and Earthquake+Shadow Claw provide great coverage and should hit everything for at least neutral damage in Shoddy. Also, the only reason I use this over Slaking is it doesn't have a horrible ability and can be good sometimes to absorb the status of Sleep. Still can hit hard and outspeed things too. :D
This thing can't even 2HKO max Def/max HP Blissey. In other words, don't use it.

Brave Bird
Whirlwind
Roost
Spikes
Spikes so if the opponent switches in, they get damage. Isn't that great? :D Brave Bird to hurt things and not get destroyed by Taunt like Umbreon. Whirlwind to give out damage by Spikes and Roost for instant recovery since there's no Leftovers and Brave Bird will give it a lot of damage from recoil eventually. Shed Shell is also there to escape Magnezone and laugh as it tries to Thunderbolt my Venusaur which might outspeed it and restore the lost damage.
Now you can rate my boring team. :D

Ew, no rock resist. Tyranitar is going to smash everything.
Azelf can blindly set up on you and sweep your team, unless you
maybe get Light Screen up on time and try your luck with Zapdos.
My favorite failure of a ghost, Gengar, isn't much nicer, as Venusaur can't hurt it at all and other pokemon are eaten by supereffective attacks, or in Scizor's case, slept.
Your only fighting resist that can actually take boosted fighting hits (from a CB or whatever) is Zapdos, and it folds to common secondary attacks like Stone Edge and Ice Punch. The SR weakness doesn't help either. Because of this, Heracross and Lucario can break your team fairly easily.
As embarrassing as it might seem, Mixed Electivire can 6-0 you, especially with a motor drive boost. Zapdos has a chance at stopping it, but it's not all too reliable.
SpecsMence is also going to be tough to avoid. Any subCMer also wins. Most of your team is set-up bait for Raikou.
Basically, your team is weak to almost every special sweeper in the game. Replace Vigoroth with a good special wall that beats sub/CMers and other things.
This team could also use that rock resist, and a better fighting one probably wouldn't hurt either.
