    Adamant Nature
    - Stone Edge
    - Crunch
    - Earthquake
    - Ice Punch

    As you can see it is hard to decide which one to choose between skarmory and ferrothorn both are really great wall.
     
    Sacred Sword is the preferred option over Iron Head because Ghost/Fighting is unresisted coverage. Of course, Iron Head is still useful for hitting Fairies hard without resorting to a weak Shadow Sneak.

    I don't like the way Jellicent's set is presented. Substitute only sees use for scouting opponents' moves, and Jellicent isn't built to scout. It's built to spin block and check/counter the types it's strong against. Lax is a terrible nature competitively because it doesn't benefit Jellicent in any way by hindering its good Special Defense:
    -Scald/Shadow Ball/Night Shade
    -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
    -Recover
    -Taunt
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Scald/Surf
    -Shadow Ball/Ice Beam
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Recover
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 248 HP/36 Def/224 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb

    or
    -Water Spout
    -Hydro Pump/Surf/Scald
    -Shadow Ball
    -Ice Beam/Giga Drain
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 172 HP/252 SAtk/84 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Water Absorb

    What's the point of Skarmory using a Jolly nature when its Speed isn't invested in at all? Use Impish or Careful, as either one increases its defensive capabilities:
    -Spikes/Stealth Rock
    -Roost
    -Whirlwind
    -Defog/Brave Bird
    Nature: Impish/Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef or 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell/Rocky Helmet
    Ability: Sturdy

    Ferrothorn also doesn't look like a good Sub user either. It's meant to check bulky Water Pokemon. If I were you, I'd use Ferrothorn + Jellicent, as they cover each other's weaknesses quite nicely:
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes
    -Leech Seed
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave
    -Power Whip/Protect
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 252 HP/208 Def/48 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell
    Ability: Iron Barbs

    Jolly is preferred for Scarf Tyranitar, as Adamant Tyranitar is still slow, even with Choice Scarf.

    I'd use Blissey for the ability to heal itself with Leftovers passively, as Chansey gets worn down easily, even with Soft-Boiled.
