I would just Huck it for Roserade =/

Heracross is fine

Thats my two cents, but as I mentioned... I cant think of much for Victreebel =/

I would Replace Salamence`s Steel wing with a move called Draco Metetor or something like that. Its powerful (140) Its accuracy is 90.But It lowers Sp. Attack sharply. I bleive its found on Route 210 in a house.

I'm going to have to disagree with that. If you're in the middle of a competitive battle, you won't want your pokemon to become weaker!

Anyways, you might want to try something like this for your Salamence.

Salamence:
Dragon Claw / Dragon Pulse
Earthquake
Stone Edge / Flamethrower
Dragon Dance

I know that it's not sounding that amazing, but it does help you with those pesky ice-types.

It's probably just me, but I'd have to say that your team would work better with different items, whatever changes you make.

The little "slightly boosts ____ moves" items really don't make a significant enough difference for it to be worthwhile. I'm a big fan of berries, myself. Slap on a few Liechi/Salac/whathaveyou berries, get a free stat boost. Or you could try for a Persim/Outrage or possibly Thrash or Chesto/Rest thing.

I also wouldn't recommend Leftovers for Jolteon. Its base HP isn't really astounding, and it's too frail for the recovery to make a big difference. You'd probably have better luck with a Shell Bell, if you're set on HP gain.

what about the Pokemon themselves, should i switch them for other pokemon, i was thinking of switching heracross with tryanatar and victribel for roserade

 

[Carmen Lopez]

Tyrannitar is a good Pokemon but I think your Heracross is fine the way you have it. Victreebel has higher HP, Attack, and Defense whereas Roserade has better Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed so they're equally good. It just depends on the moves you want to teach them. If you want a grass type with a lot of Special grass type attacks go with Roserade.
