Good, but I would go HP:Grass instead since you already have Salamence and Celebi covered. Swampert poses more of a threat to this team, imo.

Heracross (M) @ Leftovers ** Hit The Horn
Trait: Guts
EVs: 204 HP / 184 Atk / 40 Spd / 80 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Megahorn
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

If you want to, you can use Brick break over HP:Rock, since ST has a tendancy to choose the worse attacks at the wrong time. This way, you can hit hard with both attacks while sleeping. Your call though

Weezing (M) @ Leftovers ** Axe Body Spray
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 132 HP / 244 Def / 132 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Haze
- Pain Split
- Thunderbolt
- Will-O-Wisp

I don't think using TBolt as your main attack is the best idea. I would put sludge Bomb over it, but if you want to be unique, go ahead and use TBolt. Fire Blast is also an option.

Jirachi @ Leftovers ** My Name is Jir
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 236 HP / 240 Def / 16 SAtk / 16 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Ice Punch
- Psychic

Meh, some speed wouldn't hurt.

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** I Beat Anorexia
Trait: Immunity
EVs: 236 HP / 76 Atk / 56 Def / 140 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Frustration
- Rest

fine

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers ** I'm Excited
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 172 HP / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 120 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake

Whatever. I know that protect is to check for HP Grass, but it seems like a waste of slot to me.

Good team that can handle most things though other Swamperts might give you a headache.

Not IMO. Helps with healing, and sets up for another attack. As for Heracross, I'd rather have Rock Slide/HP Rock in my arsenal for random Flying types on the switch, ya know? It'll still hit pretty hard with MEgahorn. I can't see what you like about those Hera EVs though, PYro. Explain plox.

Well, besides the fact that I've already ditched this team (Didn't like it, going back to BoahHera team) The reason I like those Hera EVs is because:

A. Hera is in one of those funny Speed slots where it outspeeds big tanks like Cune easily but can't really outspeed anything worth staying in on, so running 215 speed is plenty for the things I plan on hitting. About my only two real concerns are Celebi and Jirachi, and Hera will survive a Psychic hit from both if Calm Mind hasn't come into play, and I'm not going to be switching it in on a Celebi/Jirachi very much (especially since I'm going back to BoahHera team)
B. 352 HP + 240 SDef + EQ resist = pretty solid switch in on a lot of things.
C. Megahorn hurts big with 365 attack anyway.
D. Sleep Talkers need a more defensive oriented spread, sofar as I have seen.

Psyburn>Psyfreeze. Psyfreeze is easy to block, just use a Steel type. Psyburn is almost nonresistable.

Rate, plz.
Huge e4 Zappy weak. HP Grass on Swampert, Exsensory on Heracross and Weezing, and T/Bolt on your Zapdos. Watch out for it, because it is the e4 recommended set and people will use it. That is four pokes that are 2HKOed or better by one of mine. An intelligent enemy will use Exsensory on Swampert's Protect, leading you to think I have HP Ice. It can survive and I/Beam as well.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but nobody outside yourself uses that Zapdos. That, and I can't imagine people actually taking a recommended set of yours.

I agree.

Tell use a good solid reason to use Extrasensory on Zapdos.

Maybe so the zapdos can do more diverse damage. [/guessing]

Protect is good.
