252 / 252 EV placement on all your Pokemon is bad.

Rapidash should not be Lonely. Outclassed by Ninetales.

Rapidash has horrible type coverage with having only Megahorn and Flare Blitz, I'd personally go with a mixed sweeper.

Rapidash@Life Orb
Mild
252 Spd / 90 Atk / 168 SAtk
-Fire Blast
-Megahorn
-HP [Ice]
-Hypnosis / WoW / Charm

Surprises Skarmory and Forretress, and with Mild, it boosts its SAtk and can have a better type coverage. Charm may seem lol, but a harsh decrease in Attack to physical sweepers is great.

Gallade@Leftovers
Careful
252 HP / 100 Atk / 158 SDef
-Night Slash
-Brick Break
-WoW
-Thunder Wave

Empoleon@Leftovers
Calm
200 HP / 96 SDef / 88 SAtk / 126 Def
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot
-Toxic

Spiritomb@Leftovers
Calm
252 HP / 184 Def / 72 SDef
-Pursuit
-Shadow Sneak
-WoW
-Pain Split

It's OU, btw.

Hidden Power is both weak and unfeesable, and I won't be encountering any skarms or forretresses in BL.

there is no BL metagame so expect to fight mostly OU teams
mamoswine @ choice band
peck
ice shard
EQ
filler of fillerness
 
First of all, there is no BL Metagame, you'll have to face OU's and OU's only.
 
Lol at Hidden Power being weak.
Empoleon, Mamoswine, and Spiritomb, if I'm right, are both OU.
You will see Skarms and Forretresses. Prepare yourself.
The GameFaqs tier chart is wrong then. Deal.
Mamoswine badly wants Choice Band, and Ice Shard over Reflect. And Stone Edge over Light Screen.
 
There is a BL metagame on gamefaqs. Hidden Power is weak because even if by some insane coincidence you get the hidden power type you want it only has a maximum power of 140 if super effective, while Flare Blitz has a power of 180 with STAB.
 
You forgot something, Rapidash is an UU.

With Fire Blast, Rapidash can fight off Steelix and Skarmory.

I think you mean HP Ice vs SALAMENCE lol

But would a MixDash work? I've never tried it, but I posted it because it can actually hit more stuff...
