    -Thunder Wave
    -Ice Beam
    -Stealth Rock

    Jolteon@Focus Band
    -Thunderbolt
    -Substitute
    -Agility
    -Baton Toss

    Torterra@Macho Brace
    -Earthquake
    -Swords Dance
    -Seed Bomb
    -Stone Edge

    Blaziken@Life Orb
    -Swords Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -Sky Uppercut
    -Stone Edge

    Empoleon@Expert Belt
    -Ice Beam
    -Surf
    -Flash Cannon
    -Drill Peck

    Salamence
    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Fire Fang
    -Earthquake

    Thanks
     
    I'd give Torterra,Salamence, and Blaziken leftovers (or some other item I'm still a noob at strategy), because Macho brace only multiplies evs, it doesn't make Torterra stronger in battle, and if memory serves correct the life orb on Blaziken would only amplify the recoil from Flare blitz. Maybe flamethrower or Blaze kick on Blaziken, since Flare blitz causes recoil. (preferably blaze kick because Blaziken has higher atk that sp.atk.)
     
    I just wanted some final input on my competitive team.

    Blissey@Leftovers
    -Softboiled
    -Thunder Wave
    -Ice Beam
    -Stealth Rock / Calm mind

    Jolteon@Focus Band
    -Thunderbolt
    -Substitute
    -Agility
    -Baton Pass

    Torterra@Macho Brace
    -Earthquake
    -Swords Dance / Wood hammer
    -Seed Bomb
    -Stone Edge

    Blaziken@Life Orb
    -Swords Dance / Earthquake
    -Flare Blitz / Blaze kick
    -Sky Uppercut / Reversal is the ultimate fighting move for blaziken
    -Stone Edge / Rock slide for flinch hax and greater accuracy

    Empoleon@Expert Belt
    - Ice Beam
    - Surf
    - Grass knot
    - Agility

    This guy had 2 special moves and 2 physical moves, his base Sp. Atk is much higher, so go for special moves.

    Salamence
    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw / Dragon Rush
    -Fire Fang / Stone edge
    -Earthquake

    Thanks

    Well there's my suggestions!
     
    Thanks for the suggestions, but Flash Cannon is special, not physical.^^ I like everything else though.

    Ahhh so it is, well unfortunately steel isn't the best attacking type, it would be more effective for you to go with grass knot, so that your empoleon can wall swampert, without it swampert can easily hurt your team. Even then, empoleon can't switch into swampert saftely!
     
    I MUST intervene with Torterra. Thats a pretty decent moveset, but even I can say that it's useless to have two of the same type moves, especially Seed Bomb. Now this would be better

    Torterra: Leftovers
    Earthquake
    Wood Hammer
    Stone Edge
    Leech Seed/Swords Dance/Synthesis


    I don't really see why he's (or she's, I don't judge) holding Macho Brace in a compettitive battling team, unless it has a use that I don't know. Now, Leech Seed, along with Leftovers, should help him recover from his own Wood Hammer. But in case you don't want that, Synthesis will work just fine, except in compettitive play, it could be difficult to have a clear sky. If you still don't wanna use that, Swords Dance could help it sweep through alot.


    Hope this helps :)


    EDIT: I FORGOT!!!

    You might be able to substitute Stone Edge for Rock Slide, though I really wouldn't recommend it. A big power loss, but higher PP. Rock Tomb might also suffice, since it always reduces the speed of the oppisition, but the drop in power is too great. Overall, you should just stick with Stone Edge, although I just wanted you to know that there are some other options.

    252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Sp. Def

    -Aromatherapy

    With out seismic toss and super physical attacker that has good Sp. Def. totally rapes your bliss.
     
    i don't know why you have both a grass and electric type, they're basically good against the same things. I'd try swapping one for a ghost, dark, or psychic type so you can easily beat ghosts and psychic pokemon. It's your decision, though, i couldnt tell you to take apart your team, if you want, you could just teach them with tms. anyway, good work on a good team.
