Just go with Snorlax

A few things (don't take this personally)

1: Try to make your movesets in this format:

Tyranitar@Choice Band
Adamant/Jolly; 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Speed

Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Dragon Claw

2: Neutral natures aren't worth it. I understand that they don't lower anything, but they are there to improve what is already good. An Adamant T-tar would hit much harder than a Quirky one, and the loss of Sp.Atk isn't that important since it uses all physical moves.

3:Tell what item your pokemon will have, and there is no need to tell the ability.

4: Non STAB normal attacks are generally useless, and usually Return is the prefered normal attack (there are exceptions).

5: It is a sandstorm team, but not all of the pokemon need to resist Sandstorm. Mixnape causes this team LOTS of trouble, especially if you do not have Aero anymore.
 
for Torterra why not teach it stone edge instead of rock slide it has 100 power and 80 acc. it also has a high critical ratio but i can see that rock slide has more acc. but it is really annoying when a move misses, you do have quite a balanced and it looks like you have put a lot of thinking into your team. :)
 
Heracross weak. ;_;

Should Gyarados get a Dragon Dance in, it'll cause some damage.

IMO, sandstorm teams need Spikes, Stealth Rock, and a phazer to cause 'whittling' damage (the so called SSSR team- Spikes, Sand, and Stealth Rock).
 
I don't know any Aerodactyl EVs, but I know those are WAY off. I agree with Ekul, you need SR somewhere, preferrably on Swampert over Secret Power.
 
Tyranitar

Natures: Hardy/ Serious/ Quirky
Ep: Def 252 Hp 100 Sp.Def 158
Ability: Sand Stream
Attacks: Crunch, Aerial Ace, Earthquake, Surf

LOL

TSSSR works even better, though it's probably kinda hard to squeeze that in.

You'll need a decent Gyara counter that doubles up as a physical wall, since you lack both of these. And Blissey>Snorlax, it's rubbish in DP.

Also, lol at not knowing any Aero EVs.
