We can't rate your team without knowing its moves. Make a separate thread that details this.

Also, I suggest Grass Knot over Double Team on Empoleon. It's not ideal, but you should never have to use luck to help win you battles, especially if you waste a valuable turn doing so.

Alright. I will make a new thread later.

Hey, does that aggron have its DW ability? Because it makes heavy slam so much better. Or chain breed one with rock head and head smash for no recoil and ridiculous power.

Nice team !

In my opinion, running Aqua Tail on Serperior isn't efficient. It's coverage is similar to leaf blade, and your probably not going to use Serperior to beat fire types. The Ai should be easy to predict when attacking with fire type moves anyways and if you are running Flash fire Arcanine you can easily take advantage of the situation. Alt aria can cushion anything that super effects Serperior, and although Aggron and Empoleon are mostly neutral to them, they super effect said Pokemon. Instead, since you are using leech seed, I suggest using Substitute. Since its running Adamant/Naughty, you won't want to use Giga Drain to complete the substitute recovery cycle, but you could keep this in mind for a more competitive set. I would also suggest coil instead of Dragon Tail, but that's only my
Personal preference. You can blaze past the elite 4 using subs/coil/Leaf blade.

I agree, grass knot is superior to Double team on Empoleon.

The arcanine is interesting

Running an offensive Umbreon seems strange to me, as other eevelutions are better suited to perform this task. I honestly don't see any synergy with it's teammates either ; what is this umbreon's purpose ?

I love the Aggron for an in game team ! Maybe replacing head smash and hone claws with elemental attacks for added coverage ?

Ugh, Altaria should be more defensive in my opinion... But seeing your team I'd suggest Hydreigon as the dragon of choice.

Good luck !

Edit : Actually, with the already omnipresent threat that Fighting poses to your team, I think that dragonite would fit better.

I like that you have this move, it will help when you're fighting Fire Types

Empoleon
Nature: Modest
Moves:
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Flash Cannon
-Double Team

Arcanine
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Wild Charge
-Flare Blitz
-Agility
-Outrage

I suggest you change this move to one without recoil, there are a few good ones, but recoil can prove to be a pain if you're battling stronger Pokemon.

Umbreon
Nature: Lax
Moves:
-Facade
-Dig
-Screech
-Foul Play

This move is a pain to handle, because it relies on your opponents Attack, try a move that is based on Umbreon's attack

Aggron
Nature: Admant
Moves:
-Earthquake
-Stone Egde
-Heavy Slam
-Hone Claws

This move is a bit counter productive if you're in a Double Battle, as it hurts everyone except you. I suggest switching to a move that can damage flying types a bit more

Altaria
Nature: Calm
Moves:
-Dragon Pulse
-Heat Wave
-Cotton Guard
-Ice Beam

Nothing to change here
