Choosing Pokemon for Battle Tower Team.

[BattleTower]

Okay, so over the last few years of playing Pokemon Emerald on and off, I've decided I'm finally going to get to a 100 win streak in the Battle Tower.
I've EV trained a large amount of Pokemon over the past few years, and I wanted to know which ones could make a reliable team. Feel free to add new Pokemon to the list, changing movesets on existing ones and adding holdable items:

1. Heracross
Adamant EV's: 4 HP/ 252 Att/ 252 Spe
-Megahorn
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Brick Break

2. Starmie
Modest EV's: 4 HP/ 252 S.Att/ 252 Spe
-Surf
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam

3. Blissey
Bold EV's: 252 HP/ 252 Def / 4 S.Def
-Refresh (Emerald version doesn't have Roselia to breed with for Aromatherapy)
-Softboiled
-Toxic
-Minimize

4. Metagross
Adamant EV's: 252 HP / 236 Atk / 12 Def / 8 Spe
-Aerial Ace
-Explosion
-Earthquake
-Meteor Mash

5. Latios
Serious EV's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Ice Beam

-Shadow Ball
-Earthquake
-Return

7. Swampert
Brave EV's: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpA
-Surf
-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam

8. Aerodactyl
Jolly EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Double Edge
-Aerial Ace

9. Tyranitar
Adamant EV's: 252 HP / 240 Atk / 16 Spe
-Aerial Ace
-Crunch
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake

10. Salamence
Adamant EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Flamethrower
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw

11. Milotic
Bold EV's: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 SpA
-Surf
-Recover
-Ice Beam
-Toxic

12. Dragonite
Timid EV's: 4 HP / 252 S.Att / 252 Spe
-Slam
-Outrage
-Thunder
-Fire Blast

13. Blaziken

Those are probably the ones worth mentioning. Please tell me which would make a reliable team. I don't mind adding a new Pokemon, changing movesets and EV training all over again.

Thanks in advance

You Ev-trained all these already? You must really have some dedication sir.
I have a small question BattleTower, do you plan on doing Singles or Doubles? I'm going to assume you are doing Singles.
Aerodactyl is a good choice for a standard Physical Sweeper. I would recommend leaving it as it is and attaching a Choice Band.

Aerodactyl (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Double-Edge
- Aerial Ace

Alakazam is an interesting choice that I would recommend raising. I just don't know what I would put on it.

Alakazam (M) @ Focus Band
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Fire Punch
- ThunderPunch
- Psychic

In the final slot I would then recommend either a mixed sweeper or someone that could stall with toxic. Such as Blissey.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
- Minimize

Hoped this helped.

First of all, many thanks for your advice :)
Do you think Snorlax (Cureslax) would be a better team member than Blissey?

[Master Rayquaza]

Do you think Snorlax (Cureslax) would be a better team member than Blissey?

Yes it is a better team member. (The game goes rather slow so having a 200 Turn battle with Blissey is not favorable.)
Good Luck with your win streak.
(I still don't know which item I would place on Alakazam as the Focus Band was merely a placeholder.)

Lum Berry could be a nice addition to Synchronize, don't you think?

[Master Rayquaza]

It could be a nice addition. Remember Alakazam is rather frail so don't spam Calm Mind unless you have an opening.
