Garchomp @ Life Orb
Sand Veil
6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd or 16hp/252atk/240spd
Jolly nature
- Outrage/Dragon Claw
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang

Using dragon claw instead of outrage won't lock you into using one attack. Outrage can also force you to switch out because of confusion or your opponent switching to a resistor of outrage after you already have some swords dances set up. For these reasons dragon claw is recommended over outrage. However, you can use outrage if you need a little extra power at times. You may also want to give garchomp some HP EVs to aid in it setting up swords dances.

Gengar @ Wide Lens/Leftovers/Life Orb/Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
Levitate
6 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd
Timid nature
- Focus Blast
- Hypnosis/Hidden Power Ice
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt

With life orb you can 2HKO most snorlax with focus blast. With Choice Specs you can 2HKO Blissey with focus blast. With Choice Scarf you can outspeed and OHKO Weavile with focus blast. If you can get Hidden Power Ice it works great against garchomp and salamence.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent
No clue for EVs. Need help.:240 HP / 180 Def / 88 SpDef
Careful nature
- Waterfall
- Curse
- Avalanche
- Earthquake

For EVs max out HP and give some to defense to take some hits while setting up curse

Lickilicky @ Leftovers
Own Tempo
200 HP, 252 Atk, 52 Spd
Adamant nature
- Swords Dance
- Power Whip/Body Slam
- Explosion
- Hammer Arm/Earthquake

Hammer Arm works good on tyranitar while Power Whip works great for swampert. It's really your preference but you should at least consider the other attacks body slam for its paryalisis support and earthquake for type coverage.

I would replace Shuckle all together if I were you. There are alot of other pokemon that do the same job just as well or better.
 
How about Blissey?

Yet another person who neglects to read stickies.....

...It's really obvious when you don't

And as for Cursepert, if Snorlax can't pull it off, I doubt Swampert has much of a chance, anyways, I've never been too much of a fan of the set to begin with. It could do so much more for your team by using Stealth Rock instead.

As for Outrage Garchomp, I think a substitute set would work nicely. By using Substitute, you protect yourself from the revenge kills of Ice Shard, and generally anything faster than you. Take EVs away from attack, and divert it to HP until you have atleast 405 HP, which will allow you to use 101 HP substitutes. The exact EVs depend on your IVs. It's using Swords Dance anyway, so that amount of attack EVs aren't needed. With Substitute, you can either go with Leftovers, or speed up with Salac, but I'd rather leave the speeding up for the Dragon Claw set.

As for your Blissey, the only reason people use Seismic Toss is so it does consistant damage. HP [fight] is not an option. Since you are unable to get Seismic Toss, then use the CM Blissey. Calm Mind/Soft Boil/Thunderbolt/Ice beam.

I'm not going to use Thunderbolt because I already have it on two other Pokémon.

I was thinking of dropping Swampert and Lickilicky, since I already have Water and Normal types. If I did, what should I use then?
 
Rate. That's what your supposed to do here, not give images and say "OMG Leafeon rulez put 'im in, put 'im in!!!!!!!!eleven!!one!!"[/exaggeration]

Shuckle fails at walling, and at anything else, for that matter.
Forretress would be a GREAT fit into this team.
