What should I add to my party?

I've been playing Pokemon for years, but have just now decided to do some serious battling.

This is the team I have compiled, and was wondering what I should add to it for the 4th, 5th and 6th slot.


These three are the backbone of my team and aren't likely to change

Garchomp: Physical Sweeper
Adamant
Choice Band

Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Shadow Claw
Dragon Dance


Gengar: Special Sweeper
Modest
Choice Specs

Psychic
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball
Calm Mind


Umbreon: Tank
Impish
Leftovers

Moonlight
Confuse Ray
Screech
Faint Attack


Here's where it gets hard to decide, I know I want a mixed sweeper, another physical sweeper and a toxic shuffler/hazer

Here are my options:


Mixed Sweepers:

Blastoise
Lonely
Life Orb

Skull Bash
Dragon Tail
Earthquake
Surf


Lucario
Naughty
Life Orb

Extremespeed
Shadow Ball
Dark Pulse
Earthquake


Physical Sweepers:

Mienshao
Adamant
Choice Band

Hi Jump Kick
U-turn
Fake Out
Shadow Claw

Gallade
Adamant
Choice Band

Psycho Cut
Brick Break
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade


Toxic Shufflers/hazer

Arcanine
Jolly
Charcoal

Roar
Toxic
Fire Fang
Extreme Speed


Luxray
Jolly
Leftovers

Roar
Toxic
Thunder Fang
Wild Charge


Vaporeon (cannot be used if Blastoise chosen for mixed sweeper)
Modest
(Item suggestion please)

Haze
Aqua Ring
Surf
Ice Beam


Also, any changes to the existing pokemon are welcomed!

Thank you

Garchomp can't learn Dragon Dance btw. This set is his best set in-game. Nothing resists it.

He is more of a utility Pokemon, so he won't cut out as a sweeper.

Double Team is very rare, might as well use Payback instead of Faint Attack.
