Please, rate my team for all tiers, especially OU and Uber. I don't really know which tiers my Pokemon belong to. Also, please tell me if I have too much Physical and not enough Special.

Help would be much appreciated!
Forretress: Take out your Stealth Rock and switch it with Earthquake. It would be a shame if you were locked into a Ghost Type (I.E. Shandera) and you stood no chance. Might as well damage it for a few turns.
Absol: It doesn't do it's job very well. If you really want a decent Physical Sweeper, might I suggest something that isn't so fragile? Might I suggest ScarfTar (Scarf Tyranitar) or SD Lucario?
Dugtrio: It doesn't work. In 4th gen, your best bet would be to go ScarfGon. (Scarf Flygon)
Breloom: I works fine I guess. SubSeed is already tried and tested.
Metagross: Ditch Light Screen and Toxic. Metagross isn't meant to be a tank. Leave that to SkarmBliss. It could go the Agility route or the Choice Band/Scarf route, or even a pure attacking route. Anything but support. It wasn't built for support with a common fire weakness. It can set up rocks though, in case needed.
Porygon-Z: Z is too frail. With your team, you wouldn't have any Fighting resist so Z makes it even worse. There are numerous others. Azelf and Gengar both resist Fighting, so they would be good choices. Z is so easily outsped by a Banded Infernape with Close Combat.

Is someone willing to rate my 5th Gen team? I know it's kinda early, but I wanna get going before the others do.
FORRETRESS (Forretress) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Toxic Spikes
- Explosion
Adamant, replace with Calm/Relaxed and invest EVs to defense instead of offense. Stealth Rock should be replaced with EQuake, or else it's just Shandera fodder. Add sash so you have a better chance with scarfers.
CLOYSTER (Cloyster) (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Blade
Good, I guess. It's a typically good Skill Link set for Cloyster. I've used it and works effectively.
JALORDA (Jarooda) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Perversity
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Wring Out
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Dragon Tail
Good set I guess, but I think that Timid could be turned into Modest for extra power. Jalorda has quite a lot of speed already. Also, Leftovers could be better, since Jaroda has enough power.
BLAZIKEN (Blaziken) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Stone Edge
- Flare Blitz
- Hi Jump Kick
Good. I actually like a MixKen better, but physical works jus the same.
ULGAMOTH (Urugamosu) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Butterfly Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Flame Dance
- Psychic
Psychic is... crap. It lacks any useful coverage, so it's not good. HP Ground is better. Life Orb could be replaced by balloon as to not get killed by an EQuake.
ONONOKUSU (Ononokusu) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Dragon Claw
- Rock Slide
Scarf the thing. It'll do you good. Add Outrage instead of DDance, EQuake instead of RSlide and Shadow Claw instead of Taunt, and you've got an immensely strong revenge killer. You'll need one to save you from the wrath that is Shandera.
Well for one thing, in my opinion, there are way too many pkmn that have life orb. There are other items, like speciality items, that can help each of them.
While we are at it, can someone edit mine, This is my 1st 5th gen team, but only two of them are from the new gen. I felt the rest of them did me good so far.

Shibirudon (M) @ (No Item)
Trait: Levitate

Staraptor (M) @ Sharp Beak
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 108 HP / 92 Atk / 80 Def / 80 SAtk / 72 SDef / 76 Spd
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Fly
- Heat Wave
- Mud-Slap
- Close Combat
No offense, but your EV's are crap, too spread out, and in the entirely wrong places. And Sassy is a horrible nature for Staraptor. And Heat Wave and Fly and Mud Slap are horrible moves. Aerial Ace and Poison Jab is horrible for Blaziken, and Close Combat is better than Sky Uppercut. Daikenki's moveset does not fit with it's nature, (-Atk with Aqua Jet?) Metagross needs EQuake and is useless with Shadow Ball and Psychic. Torterra has horrible Sp.Atk, so Energy Ball doesn't make sense. Acid Bomb doesn't do well for Shibirudon either. All your items are bad, Poison Barb? Sharp Beak? And Big Root on something that doesn't have any absorbing attacks? Element boosting items aren't good, your'e better off with Life Orbs or Leftovers. This team lacks synergy and a general strategy to it.
Please, rethink and reform your team. I mean no offense, but your team is very, very bad if you are going to use it competitively.
