Very vulnerable to Ice (you'd say Charizard, but ice is usually compound. A good ice/water combo can knock out everyone on your team except Empoleon). Basically, anything from a Mamoswine to a different Empoleon can kill you easily.

Draco Meteor isn't a good choice for Garchomp. Go with outrage or something. And give it EQ. EQ + STAB + Garchomp = Win. Charizard has higher special attack, so adamant is kind of a bad nature in my opinion, unless you're going for a mixed Charizard. Torterra's special attack is weak, so replace Frenzy Plant and Leaf Storm with Wood Hammer and, like, Synthesis, Wood Hammar and Seed Bomb. Again, Empoleon's special attack is much better than it's attack. Remove Earthquake and Waterfall and give it Ice Beam and something else (rain dance, maybe). Basically, this team requires a complete overhaul. The roster is kind of unoriginal, the movesets don't agree with the base stats, and no. Too many common weaknesses to get anywhere near Battle Frontier championship

EQ = Earthquake
STAB = Same Type Attack Boost (if a water type uses a water move or a fire type uses a fire move, the attack's power gets boosted 50%. Very useful)

Substitute seems pretty useless unless you're subing something. Maybe remove Draco meteor and Dragon Rush and Replace it with Focus Punch and Earthquake. Then you can have a SubPunching Garchomp

I say Flash Cannon on Empoleon. It's a great STAB. And also, unless you're going to EV Garchomp in some Special Attack, there are better Fire physical moves.

DIDDY DONUTS!
^Actually, Flash Cannon is pretty bad on him. Doesn't give him good coverage :/

And even with no Evs in Satk, Adamant Garchomp Fire Blast does more damage to stuff like Skarmory than Fire Fang would do ;)

Btw, Torterra wants Impish nature. And your team is kinda Gyara weak. You might want to change one of your members to a Gyarados counter ( top of my head, Porygon 2 )

Porygon 2 ( Bold )@Leftovers
Trait: Trace
-Recover
-Discharge / Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Toxic / Thunder Wave ( if you went with Thunderbolt )

Discharge vs Thunderbolt is Paralyze vs power. Your choice there. He also counters Salamence and Heatran FYI.

STAB gives some good power against Grass and Dragon, but come to think of it... It isn't as good compared to Surf when they're both STAB. Also, again, unless you're going for a mixed Garchomp, SCRAP DRACO METEOR AND THUNDER. Replace Meteor with Outrage or Dragon Claw, and give it EQ. EQ on Garchomp = 100 Power *1.5 for STAB = Incredibly Power
