Rate my 3 pokemon team

Hi there. This is my first post ever on these forums, but I am a frequent lurker. :p Anyways, me and my brothers are all competing against each other on Pokemon HG/SS. There are 3 of us and we battle each other quite often. We fight flat battles with 3 pokemon teams. No legendaries allowed except for the legendaries that can be bred(Heatran, etc.) I'm trying to set up a baton pass team with Marowak as the sweeper. I'll provide detailed info as much as I can.

Umbreon Leftovers
Ability (Synchronize)
EVs: HP 252 Def 6 Sp. Def 252
-Bite
-Taunt
-Baton Pass
-Curse

Mr. Mime Light Clay
Ability (Filter)
EVs: HP 255 Sp. Def 255
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Safeguard
-Baton Pass

Marowak Thick Club
Ability (Rock Head)
EVs:HP 252 Def 6 Sp. Def 252
-Bonemerang
-Fire Punch
-Earthquake
-Outrage

Ok so I picked Umbreon for Curse(I chose curse because no matter what I do Marowak's Speed isn't going to be enough to go up against the speedy sweeper of one of my bro's) and Ev Trained my pokemon in HP and Sp. Def so they can take damage from Sp. Attackers. I tank out the damage being dealt to Umbreon the first few rounds while using Curse and I have taunt just in case the person I'm fighting against has Roar and the other moves that switch out your pokemon. I have Bite just in case he needs it. I then Baton Pass to Mr. Mime to use his walls then I Baton Pass to Marowak to take out the opposing pokemon. I chose Bonemerang to get rid of Substitute. Fire punch to fight against his weaknesses. Earthquake as his man Stab move. And Outrage to fight against the Dragons my brothers love so much(Dragonite and Garchomp).

I'm thinking of switching my team around for another team with Marowak in it but maybe this time a more speedy baton pass team with maybe Ninjask and Jolteon? But I prefer a team that has taunt to avoid losing my stats because of Roar and Whirlwind. Anybody got any suggestions?

Custom User Title
Umbreon@Leftovers
Sassy / Synchronize
252Hp / 252Def / 6Sp.D
-Curse
-Yawn
-Baton Pass
-Mean Look / Moon Light

Since Umbreons base Sp.D is 20 points higher, you'll have to max out Defense to kinda
equalize the defenses; to make Umbreon more of a tank all around. Mean Look and Yawn
incapacitate any fool that tries to stand up to you, instead of being hit every turn.

Smeargle@Focus Sash
Jolly / Own tempo
252Hp / 252Spe / 6Def
-Agility
-Amnesia
-Substitute
-Baton Pass

I find Smeargle a better choice than Mr. Mime, you can set up for virtually anything, and
your set-up lasts more than 5 turns. Since you already have the Attack and Defense
boost from Umbreon, you'll have to raise Sp.D and make up for Spe. Agility and Amnesia
both get the job done. Substitute is better than Safeguard for blocking status because
it helps you survive an otherwise lethal hit, not to mention Marowak doesn't have to
lose health for it.

Marowak@Thick Club
Adamant / Rock Head
252Atk / 192Hp / 66Spe
-Earthquake / Bonemerang
-Rock Slide
-Ice Punch
-Double Edge

Bonemerang is pretty useful for Substitute killing, but Earthquake is just as powerful and
more accurate. It's a choice between reliability and random subs. Rock Slide goes along
with Earthquake to give you QuakEdge coverage (perfect) while Ice Punch is a more
reliable way of taking down dragons without screwing yourself over. Double Edge is used
to take advantage of Rock Head, and it does great neutral damage.

Hey cool insight on my team. Yeah I was looking to replace Mr. Mime. Thanks for the info. But if I take out Marowak's Fire punch then will Double Edge do enough damage against Grass/Bug types? Well anyways. Thanks for the reply. I'll get to breeding a good smeargle.

Staring at my phone
Smeargle could actually use Taunt>Sub if you want to make sure
your boosts don't get (p)hazed away. Smeargle is almost too frail
for Sub passing anyway.

Gliscor make a great Taunt abuser, if you need a moveset I can
provide one.
