    For my last slot in my team, I'm not sure if I should go with Donphan or Torterra

    Donphan @ Leftovers
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 86 Atk
    - Rapid Spin
    - Earthquake
    - Stone Edge
    - Stealth Rock

    Or

    Torterra
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP / 148 Atk / 108 Def
    - Stealth Rock
    - Earthquake
    - Wood Hammer
    - Leach Seed
     
    i use donphan as my wall.

    Donphan @ Leftovers
    Impish
    252 Hp/136 Atk/124 Def
    -Stealth Rock
    -Earthquake
    -Ice Shard
    -Rapid Spin

    and swampert as a tank/psuedohazer.

    Swampert @ Leftovers
    Relaxed
    200 Hp/136 SAtk/100 Atk/72 SDef
    -Roar
    -Surf
    -Earthquake
    -Protect
     
    Donphan.

    Torterra's weaknesses are pretty ugly. A 4x weakness to Ice when nearly every team has some sort of Ice Beam or Avalance to get rid of Dragons.
     
    If you're open to other Pokemon, I like Steelix.

    Relaxed Steelix@Leftovers
    Trait:Rock Head (Doesn't really matter but no one uses OHKO moves anyway)
    252 Def, 252 HP, 6 Sp Def
    Stealth Rock
    Roar
    Gyro Ball/Earthquake
    Taunt

    You're not using Double-Edge or something, so Rock Head is even more useless.
     
    I'm kind of leaning towards Donphan, because yesterday I captured a shiny Phanpy with Impish nature. And for those reasons alone I'd like one in my team.

    Any suggestions on EV spread?
