I would give Hidden Power Fire to Magnezone, also because in this team I don't see Counter for Bulky-SDScizor, Aerodactyl it absolutely is not all right seeing the actual metagame of the two simulators, too many Metagross and Jirachi lead.

Orly? Bullet Punch 2HKOs Aero, only giving you the chance to Taunt or SR. Jirachi outruns him with Scarf (which is what Jirachi leads run) and 2HKOs with Iron Head, giving you a 40% chance of Taunting or SRing. I would still use Azelf>>Aero since you at least do something other than setting up SR and Taunting the foe, you get to explode.

Dude, Azelf loses just as badly to Jirachi and loses to Metagross too (Meteor Mash + Bullet Punch), and Explosion is beyond predictable. Azelf is pretty mediocre too, and it sure as hell doesn't fit on this team which has only one real sweeper anyway.

Yeah, suicide leads are for offensive teams (even though there are usually better choices but w/e), and this team is balanced. The last thing a balanced team needs is being down 5-6 to start the game. Replace Aerodactyl with a bulky set-up lead like Swampert or Metagross.

Also, Magnezone does not fit here at all...you don't actually need a Steel killer since your only sweeper is a Fire-type. I mean I guess it helps Latias, but she's pretty easy to stop. If you want some kind of bulky sweeper there, offensive CM Suicune works (and it would open up Vaporeon's slot), as does Superachi (offensive CM Jirachi, no Substitute) or even a DDTar (though you'd need more support for it).

I don't want to change too much just yet, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Im new to suggestions but im guessing grass knot on your infernomane or whatever is for watertypes? if so try thunder punch instead since grass knot is by weight. and you have close combat for rock types.

Grass Knot is significantly stronger against crucial waters (Suicune and Swampert in particular), not to mention it also OHKOs Hippowdon after a Nasty Plot. Not to mention, Close Combat (factoring in STAB) will hurt Vaporeon more than SE Thunderpunch will.
