    What's the point of Power Trick? Pure Power already makes Medicham strong enough. That, and Medichamite is the superior item for it, since it makes it fast enough to be useful, while giving it more power than Life Orb:
    -High Jump Kick
    -Zen Headbutt
    -Ice Punch/Fire Punch
    -Fake Out/Substitute
    Nature: Jolly/Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Medichamite
    Ability: Pure Power

    Forretress is meh. It's easy bait for Aegislash. Skarmory does the hazard setting better, IMO, as it can force setter-uppers out with Whirlwind:
    -Whirlwind
    -Roost
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes/Brave Bird
    -Defog/Brave Bird
    Nature: Bold/Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef or 252 HP/16 Def/240 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Sturdy

    or
    -Spikes
    -Whirlwind
    -Taunt/Brave Bird
    -Roost
    Nature: Bold/Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/172 Def/84 Spe
    Item: Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Sturdy

    What's the deal with Substitute on Snorlax? It's not fast enough to take advantage of the status protection it offers. It also doesn't pair well with RestTalk. It's best as an all-out attacker because it's seriously walled by Ghosts:
    -Return/Body Slam
    -Earthquake
    -Crunch/Fire Punch
    -Self-Destruct/Wild Charge
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/252 SDef/4 Spe
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Thick Fat

    Sigilyph faces competition from other offensive Psychic Pokemon such as Speed Deoxys, Lati@s, Alakazam and even Gardevoir, as they have more power and/or Speed behind them. This is the best Sigilyph can do:
    -Cosmic Power
    -Stored Power
    -Psycho Shift
    -Roost
    Nature: Timid/Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/16 Def/240 Spe (Timid) or 252 HP/200 Def/56 Spe (Bold)
    Item: Flame Orb
    Ability: Magic Guard

    Sets for Pokemon I mentioned:

    Speed Deoxys:
    -Psycho Boost
    -Ice Beam
    -Superpower
    -Knock Off/Stealth Rock
    Nature: Naive
    EVs: 16 Atk/252 SAtk/240 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Latias:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Psyshock/Thunderbolt
    -Defog
    -Healing Wish
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Latios:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Psyshock
    -Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Fighting)/Earthquake
    -Defog/Roost/Recover
    Nature: Timid/Hasty
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    or
    -Draco Meteor
    -Psyshock
    -Surf/Hidden Power (Fire)
    -Trick/Hidden Power (Fire)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    Golurk is outclassed by two other Ghost Pokemon in Gengar and Aegislash. Both hit harder than it, while the former is faster:

    Gengar:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave
    -Focus Blast/Thunderbolt
    -Destiny Bond
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

    or
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Disable/Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast/Taunt
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/20 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Black Sludge

    Aegislash:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak/Sacred Sword
    -Iron Head/Sacred Sword/Pursuit
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Toxic
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Flash Cannon/Sacred Sword
    -Pursuit/Sacred Sword
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Iron Head/Shadow Claw
    -Sacred Sword/Head Smash
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Only Poison Heal Gliscor can recover off HP when poisoned. Hyper Cutter variants are outright crippled by poison. For your second set, the lack of STAB really hurts and Thunder Fang and Ice Fang are rather weak, considering that a neutral STAB Earthquake outdamages both when super effective:
    -Earthquake: 100 (base power) x 1.5 (STAB) = 150
    -fang: 65 (base power) x 2 (super effective) = 130

    That, and Gliscor isn't that good offensively. It's well-known as one of the best Toxic-stallers:
    -Substitute
    -Toxic
    -Protect
    -Earthquake
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 244 HP/32 Def/224 Spe
    Item: Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal
