Solid team overall, but you sport a weakness to offensive Electric-types such as Life Orb Zapdos and Jolteon. You could try switching something out for Tyranitar (Infernape, likely):

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Sand Stream
Adamant
236 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Earthquake / Fire Punch

Stick with Tyranitar. Electivire isn't powerful enough or sturdy enough, and you can only get the Speed boost once in a battle vs. a decent opponent.
 

Blue Ace

Pokemon is Dead
- 252 HP/232 Attack/12 Def/12 Speed

Max Hp coupled with 12 Defense Evs allows Metagross 100% survival rate against Adamant CB Dugtrio's Earthquake from full health, 232 Atk Evs are a jump point, and the 12 Speed EVs outspeed the SMogon standard Tyrantiar that run 80 EVs in Speed.



And in case I wasn't clear, that Zapdos only outspeeds Adamant Max Speed Salamences. Also you too should be careful to never Explode Metagross immediately as otherwise your Salamence and Tyranitar weaknesses become more severe with him gone. And as mentioned before, your Electric weakness is obvious, SpecsJolt can 6-0 sweep your team.

The only Tyranitar i'm going with is Boah or Special Defender one.
Which one?

Why bother asking for a rate if you are going to ignore a suggestion and not even explain why? It's not like I suggested you run Larvitar instead.
 

GerbilGuy

Goodbye, Serebii
idk, I just don't like him.
But if he's the best choice for my team i will use it sure.
EDIT:
Chose CBTar. :)
To use the standard one?

So which Tyranitar should I use?
Boah or Special Wall?

Seeing as your team really isn't all that offensive oriented to begin with you could go with Special Wall, since it is a counter to SpecsJolt, a STAB Thunderbolt and Super Effective HP Grass are only 5HKOs and a Signal beam is only a 4HKO with Choice Specs. It also provides an answer to taking status, since nothing here can really take Paralysis nor Sleep currently.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Nature: Sassy (+SpD - Spe)
Ability: Sandstream
EVs: 236 HP/ 32 Atk/ 216 SpD/ 24 Spe
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Fire Blast
- Crunch

This set would probably help you out more, so Scizor, Breloom, Forretress, Lucario have a harder time switching in and being a pain for you.

It's a tough call, CBTyranitar is just the impulsive suggestion to make because of the offensive mindset of the metagame, but I feel that that Tyranitar will offer so much more for you.

Also as user noobies suggested, Yawn > HP Electric is very viable, especially with Protect so you can manage to sleep things like Jolteon, Zapdos and Magnezone in addition to the things Vaporeon counters such as Gyarados, other Vaporeon and Kingdra. It definitely is worth a quick trial run.

@Misaki:
