    Pokemon: Azelf @ Life Orb
    Nature: Naive
    Ability: Levitate
    EV: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed
    Moves:
    Psychic
    Flamethrower
    Explosion
    Grass Knot

    Azelf as lead. Sweep threw Pokemon until I have to explode.
    Only threats would be Weaviles or Sucker Punchers.
    I can explode on Blisseys who think they can wall me.
    Basically Azelf is here to weaken their team.

    Pokemon: Gliscor @ Left Overs
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Hyper Cutter
    EV: 252 HP, 252 Defense
    Moves:
    Roost
    Baton Pass
    Sword Dance
    Earthquake

    My Physical Wall and Baton Passer.
    Its mostly for passing to my Bulky Machamp.
    Switch in on a Fighting Type or a Earthquake.
    Set up and Baton Pass to Machamp.

    Pokemon: Machamp @ Left Overs
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: No Guard
    EV: 252 HP / 16 ATT / 236 DEF / 4 SPEED
    Moves:
    Dynamic Punch
    Stone Edge/ Ice Punch
    Rest
    Sleep Talk

    With this set I can hit almost every pokemon for neutral damage.
    A STAB Dynamic Punch after a Sword Dance is a deadly move.
    It was already a powerful move that makes the target confused.
    I was thinking Earthquake instead of Stone Edge
    But I get completely walled by Gyarados and it can set up on me.

    Pokemon: Vaporeon @ Left Overs
    Nature: Bold
    Ability: Water Absorb
    EV: 252 HP, 252 Defense
    Moves:
    Wish
    Roar
    HP [Electric]
    Surf

    My Surfing Toxic Staller that heals.
    Vaporeon is one of my favorite Pokemon.
    It can absorb water and Ice attacks aimed at Gliscor

    Pokemon: Dugtrio @ Choice Band
    Nature: Jolly
    Ability: Arena Trap
    EV: 252 Speed, 252 Attack
    Moves:
    Sucker Punch
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Aerial Ace

    My revenge killer. Not much can out speed this.
    I just gotta watch out for Weavile again.
    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
    Pokemon: Heatran @ Choice Specs
    Nature: Modest
    Ability: Flash Fire
    EV: 252 HP, 252 Special Attack
    Moves:
    Flame Thrower
    Earth Power
    Dragon Pulse
    Explosion

    I don't think Heatran should have Speed EVs =/
    I like Pokemon on the more bulky side.
    So with HP evs and Special attack, It will be doing massive damage while taking little damage.

    I personally hate Azelf leads. Zapdos, Ninjask, Weavile, and Tyranitar ruin it for you, and even Bronzong if you don't carry Flamethrower. By the way, carry Flamethrower. It will get rid of those steel types that try to wall you.

    Oh, and you do realize that a Pokemon can have up to 508 useable EVs, not 504?
     
    Thunderbolt is a sub par move on Azelf. The only thing you hit harder is like Gyarados and Tokekiss, so its pretty moot. Use Flamethrower to hit steels who lols at you otherwise. Also leading with a Psychic pokemon this gen i feel is foolish, as mentioned above, if they have a weavile or Tar lead, you start the match at automatic deficit due to Pursuit. Which is why i use U-Turn >>Grass Knot on that Azelf set, to scout your counter. Lead with something else.

    Speaking of weavile, it gives your team grief especially SD versions, i learnt the other day that Machamp DOES NOT like boosted Ice Punches, go with a more sturdy set up of : - 252 HP / 16 ATT / 236 DEF / 4 SPEED @Impish.

    This is yet ANOTHER team that i can say "If Gyarados gets in a Dragon Dance, it 6-0s you" You have an awesome Gyara counter there in vappy but arnt utilizing it, use Hidden power Electric >>Toxic or protect, Roar can also be used here. Seeing as you lack a PHazer, which makes it easy for stuff to stat up on you.


    Heatran NEEDS speed evs, more specifically 216 speed evs thus beating Adamant Breloom and Jolly Tyranitar.

    It also may be helpful if you told us what item your heatran has, so im assuming its specs.

    Stone Edge/ Ice Punch
    Rest

    But I get completely walled by Gyarados and it can set up on me.
    So Stone Edge is the next option but I hate its low accuracy

    If your Machamp has No Guard, Stone Edge won't miss. Just pointing that out, considering it is really the best choice. I wouldn't go with EQ either way- Fighting/Ground has bad coverage.
     
    My Azelf has Flamethrower, I just wanted to see what you would say for Thunderbolt :D
    I changed Machamps EVs and Natures to the one given by D_A
    Alot of people said I should put HP Electric on Vaporeon, so I will :)
     
    In my opinion, seeing as I've battled with Azelf leads a ton over my offensive time. Flamethrower isn't packing enough oomph if you ask me, try out Fire Blast, much more burns to things like Ttar that could switch in. 30% burn rate is pretty darn nice. ;D I say pack Fire Blast and gut it. Better results in my opinion. (85% is not that bad for accuracy either)
