    I must be out of it; Blaziken gets Superpower? Awesome! Everything looks good here.

    Guessing spin form? Fair enough. You'll be hitting about...271 speed, which is enough to deal with things like MixMence and SDLuke (although you have nothing super effective against it, and Air Slash against Luke can be bad if Steadfast activates. Just be careful.)

    I give you credit for attempting this and making Honchkrow look decently useful, and it looks like it'll work; great coverage, good sp.atk to work with; if you can get a BPer on your team to pass this thing an Agility, that would be nice.

    Finally having physical STAB in terms of Water, this thing can be fun; if you want to be more aggressive, EQ or Avalanche can be used (Avalanche for Celebi, EQ for...stuff)

    - Trick

    I've heard of this thing...it's going to be a menace when you can Toxic something for good, but just be careful what you trick that Orb to, as seeing everyone will expect it.

    If you wanna be a little more defensive, pump those EVs from sp.atk into defense. Are you hitting any milestones with that sp.atk, or is it for general damage?

    Major props for offensive LO Gliscor. time to teach some things a nice lesson don't ya think? You can use Stone Edge to do more damage to incoming Gyarados, easily 2HKOing with those atk EVs.

    EV help please.

    EV-wise, things look very good. Team-wise, just be wary that you have no Dragon resist, nor a Rock resist. That new LO Dragonte with Superpower/Fire Blast/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt can give you some trouble, but it has trouble switching in. STAB Stone Edges from Rhyperior and Tyranitar can also be troublesome, but again, there are some issues on availability of getting in, but their prime entry points would be on your Rotom and on 3/4 of Blaziken's moveset, although they must know it's Scarf first. Tyranitar can come in on Clefable, but that Trick Orb will keep it bay until it no longer has it.

    Looks pretty solid; better than what I can make these days by a long shot.
