Changes/suggestions in bold.

alright this is my team, please rate, criticize and give me opinions on the team.

Empoleon (Bold) Calm is better, but Bold can work @Leftovers
Torrent
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Waterfall --- may put Ice Beam YES. Do it.
-Yawn/Stealth Rock

You gave your Empoleon 3 damaging Water attacks which is never a good idea. It wouldn't have been able to do much damage if it was up against other Water Pokemon (not to mention Dragon, etc.) Ice Beam is needed to take on Flying, Grass, Dragon Pokemon, Grass for other Waters. The last slot is up to you.

Aerodactyl (Hasty) Adamant/Jolly is better. @Choice Band
Pressure
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide
-EQ
-Ice Fang
-Fire Fang

Aerodactyl does not have the Sp.Attack to use Ancient Power effectively. Aero is a physical sweeper, so give it all physical attacks. It doesn't have the defenses to use Roar or Stealth Rock either.

Torterra (Adamant/Impish) @Leftovers/Choice Band
Overgrow
-Wood Hammer
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide
-Leech Seed Leech Seed can go with the Leftovers. If you want a CB set, use Crunch here.

Torterra is also more of a physical Pokemon, so you don't need Giga Drain. Why use Bite when there's Crunch? If you don't like the recoil Wood Hammer gives and you're willing to rebreed, there's always Seed Bomb. Otherwise, you could go with Razor Leaf if you're lucky enough to get the critical hits out of it.

Garchomp (Adamant/Jolly) @Life Orb
Sand Veil
--- need better moves
-Dragon Claw
-EQ
-Swords Dance
-Fire Fang/Stone Edge/Rock Slide

You'll need something just in case a fragile Ice Pokemon comes out that you can outrun. Dig takes too long to use, and is weak since it only has a Base Power of 60 in two turns while EQ has 200.

Lucario (Bold) Adamant/Jolly
Steadfast
-Swords Dance
-Crunch
-Extreme Speed/Blaze Kick
-Endure --- may put Close Combat YES!

To be honest, I'm not familiar with the physical Lucario set. Since the only Sp.Attacking Pokemon you have on your team so far is Empoleon, your Lucario should be a Sp.Attacker.

Lucario (Modest/Timid Nature) @Choice Specs/Life Orb
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse
-Dragon Pulse
-Psychic (with Specs)/Calm Mind (with Orb)

Tyranitar (Lonely) Adamant...
Sand Stream
-Stone Edge
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance/Rock Polish

You don't need Stone Edge AND Rock Slide on one set.

I thought this was in-game.

Anyway, Empoleon doesn't need 3 Water moves in one set. Espcially Bubblebeam!!!!!!!

 

[.:Faithless:.]

Empoleon's moveset looks awful.
