Swampert is great tank and I needed Stealth Rock user. So I pick him. Earthquake and Avalanche form the Ground/Ice attacking combination which is only resisted by Bronzong.
Metagross @ Life Orb / Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs 156 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Agility
- Explosion
With these HP EVs will allow guaranteed survival against an Adamant Garchomp or Mamoswine's Earthquake if they are not using any items to strengthen the attack. Agility set is great, because with one Agility I can outrun 269 Speed Choice Scarf users like Heracross.

I'll comment on these two...
Swampert:
Not a bad setup, but I still prefer CursePurt. With Curse, you can go with Relaxed Nature, not worry about Speed (tanks don't normally need speed anyways), and boost Defense and Attack. After all, who can say no to a STABed Surf AND a STABed Earthquake?? Also, with Curse and Relaxed, it's almost guaranteed that Swampert will go second, so that will make good use of Avalanche. Rest could be an option, since your team SERIOUSLY lacks recovery moves, and I used to think recovery moves were useless until I started playing on WiFi. A Recovery move on a tank is nearly a must.
And Metagross:
I use a Metagross myself... your setup is pretty standard, but I'd like to bring Thunderpunch into play here. I use it on my Gross instead of Explosion, and with Thunderpunch he can easily take out any bulky water type not named Swampert. And while he can survive a Garchomp or Mamoswine, it's not wise to leave him in on Garchomp (it's at most a 2KO with a STABed Earthquake). Maybe Mamoswine, since it's a KO with Meteor Mash. So unless you're catching ither on the switch in, don't put him out. Wait until you KNOW you will have the first hit.
