    You have no safe switch-in to Scarftran, who can tear through this team. I suggest running a Max-Speed ScarfGar and use Focus Blast>> Explosion to help a little bit. Scizor also easily outspeeds Scarftran and can OHKO with Superpower.
     
    Life Orb Gyarados absolutely demolishes this team. Honestly, after a Dragon Dance, it can severely tear holes through your defenses. If, somehow, it gets in two, your only true defenses against it- Shuckle and Celebi- are goners. DD/Waterfall/Ice Fang/EQ is the set that worries me. I'd highly consider a Gyarados counter, such as Vaporeon, over something like Shuckle.

    By the way, that Gengar cannot outrun Gyarados after two DD's IIRC.
     
    Choice Specs Starmie can also go right through this team, your team is really weak to Water and Psychic.
     
    umm Tentacruel kinda counters scarf tran =/. Earth power hardly 3hko's. Specs WILL be more problematic however Shuckle can knock off its item to soften it up.

    Gengar : -

    Gengar wants Focus Blast > Explosion. I never get Explosion on things with crappy attack since it does like 2 and doesnt even OHKO Blissey lol. And at least Focus Blast means you arnt "rofl fodder" for stuff like t-tar to come in and Pursuit you and can actually revenge Lucario and Heatran..


    Celebi : -


    Leech Seed is useless in this case since Celebi cant afford it in its moveset due to other moves to counter threats being more important, same with Heal bell really. U-Turn is an epic waste too since Reflect does the same thing (That being lols at Pursuit) and with no Grass Knot you get pooped on by Gyarados, use : -

    Celebi@Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.ATT
    Bold Nature
    - Thunderwave
    - Grass Knot
    - Recover
    - Reflect / Hidden power Ice

    Its best set imho. Also helps with your HUGE SD Lucario weakness. You can use Heal Bell last slot but i wouldnt advise it since its a free switch in and STalkers are more effective to deal with status.

    Tentacruel@Leftovers / Shed Shell
    204 hp / 108 DEF / 24 SP.ATT / 172 SP.DEF
    Calm Nature
    Trait : - Liquid Ooze
    - Toxic Spikes / Rapid Spin
    - Surf
    - Rest
    - Sleep Talk

    If you choose NOT to use Heal bell, use the above. Really is an annoying as hell set to get rid of. Shed Shell for duggy's rise in popularity again.


    Skarmory : -

    I would say use more def on Skarmory and less speed tbh but thats just me due to the fact you use Toxic Spikes and have no answer to hera, Machamp etc. Might aswell use Shed Shell on that too for Magnezone =p.


    Watch out for Life Orb Mix Tar @Ice Beam/Crunch/Stone Edge/Fire Blast ;). Oh well i suppose you can revenge it with Gar, but yeah.

    It'll fare better than most other sites out there. Why? Cause of me. I join only the strong and able sites. Thats me, DarkTyphlosion157. You will be beaten by PC. PC is a stronger, more powerful site than the other Pokemon forums. Grasp it's true form if you dare!

    Umm, you do know Garchomp is uber now right? Which pretty much means Ice Fang is pointless? Fire Fang over it, allows you to take on Skarmory, Scizor and Forretress. 236 HP/176 Def/96 SpDef as EV spread. Max Leftovers, jump point in Def and rest in Sp.Def.

    Naive over Mild on ScarfGar, being outran by Deoxys-E is depressing.

    Skarmory needs 96 Atk EVs for Brave Bird, otherwise you aren't dealing with Gyara as well. And no Phaze move? Care to explain Taunt?

    LO Gyara weak here. Vaporeon over Shuckle fixes this, however LOGyara might have some trouble getting in safely, not a reason to lack a counter though.

    The OP is not that ScarfTran weak btw. However, Tentacruel can only switch in so much with no recovery avaiable for it and Sandstorm negating the Black Sludge. May want to consider Leftovers actually as if one of the now-numerous Trickers get it they can throw it on Celebi or Shuckle and cause some trouble.

    128 speed evs for a skarmory ? If you insist on running taunt than those ev's are kind of waisted. Thoes eves were would be more useful placed in his defense. Whrlwind or Roar would be more useful to get in some extra damage after spiking the feild but be weary of guts boosing heracross.
