I am looking to create a UU team and thought about using the following pokes as part of my team:

Exploud @ Choice Specs
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Boomburst
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
Special attacker. I want to keep Boomburst, but not sure what the other moves should be (like to have something with coverage).

Lucario @ Life Orb/Expert Belt/Choice Band
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Physical attacker. Mostly meant to take care of walls like snorlax or blissey.

Alakazam @ Choice Specs/Expert Belt/Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Energy Ball
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
Special attacker. Not really sure what item to use, but I do like the freedom to change moves.

Roserade @ Black Sludge
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Toxic Spikes
- Aromatherapy
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
My lead poke. Sets up some spikes and is able to heal any status problems.

Avalugg @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Avalanche
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Recover
Physical wall and hazard clearer.

Granbull @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Earthquake
- Thunder Wave
- Retaliate (not really sure what the 4th move should be)
Physical attacker. Trying to use something less used to make things interesting.

Please feel free to suggest new pokes that are similar to what I have but do the job better. Also, suggestions are welcome on moves and ev spreads and if someone can help me with darmanitan in terms of checking/counter him that would be very welcome. Please note that I want to take this team to wifi and that I do not have access to gen poke or pokebank so all suggestion need to be obtained in-game through friend safari or breeding.

Thanks in advance
TSV: 0970
FC: 4570-8530-4078

Surf > Ice Beam on Exploud. The harder hit on Rhyperior is always welcome and Boomburst already shreds Noivern and Flygon (and the very rare Altaria). Also, use Fire Blast over Flamethrower; 85 accuracy isn't that bad.

Earthquake is redundant on Lucario, unless you're afraid of the Nidos, who are already hit hard by Ice Punch. Extreme Speed > Bullet Punch, the +2 priority is more useful than the actual coverage Bullet Punch provides:
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Extreme Speed
-Crunch/Bullet Punch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Nasty Plot
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
-Vacuum Wave/Flash Cannon
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast/Inner Focus

Shadow Ball > Energy Ball on Alakazam, unless you're afraid of Gastrodon and Rhyperior. Focus Sash is also worth considering, as it guarantees Alakazam takes at least 2 hits to KO (unless it's up against Cloyster or Cinccino).

Regular Spikes would be preferred on Roserade, since the team is offensive enough not to care about the whittling effects of Toxic Spikes.

Mega Blastoise is a more reliable Rapid Spinner than Avalugg. Though it's also vulnerable to all hazards, Mega Blastoise lacks a crippling Stealth Rock weakness:
-Water Pulse/Scald/Hydro Pump
-Dark Pulse
-Aura Sphere/Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse
-Rapid Spin
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Blastoisinite

You can still keep Avalugg if you feel its superior physical bulk is more useful to you.

Granbull can play some form of offensive utility (attack while supporting). Retaliate is useless:
-Play Rough
-Earthquake
-Thunder Wave
-Heal Bell (egg move; have Smeargle Sketch it for you)
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
