Earthquake over Brick Break on Tyranitar

Adamant/Impish/Jolly Nature
~Earthquake
~Ice Fang

~Swords Dance

U-Turn doesn't work like Baton Pass, in case you don't know. Also, it's almost always better to get at least one STAB move - except for things like Shuckle and Blissey.

For Scizor
Use Bug Bite instead of X-Scissor for more power thanks to Technician, if you can't breed then keep X-Scissor. Brick Break, Superpower or Rock Smash instead of Acrobatics because it let you Attack Steel Type which might ruin Scisor. Use Superpower if you want power, Brick Break if you don't want to lower Attack and Defense or Rock Smash if you want to lower your opponent Defense.

For Garchomp
Use Sword Dance instead of Fire Fang for more Attack, if you want to use Choice Band or Choice Scraf, then keep Fire Fang.

cool thanks

Iron Head doesn't do much for Excadrill. Go with X-Scissor instead to hit Grass-types.

Swords Dance > Aqua Tail on Garchomp. Dragon + Ground + Fire hits the whole game at least neutrally, and I can't really think of an instance in which it would be worthwhile using Aqua Tail instead of one of your other moves.

decided to switch out gliscor, due to two pokemon having X4 weakness and switching out for skarmory.

Bold
Rocky Helmet

Whirlwind

Usually, Stealth Rock is enough. I suggest an attack instead of Spikes, either Steel Wing or Drill Peck, so that it doesn't becomes a Taunt bait.

Also, Impish instead of Bold.
