Blaziken - It looks like the idea is use Hone Claws, survive on sash, and then sweep but for gen 6 I don't think this works that well because of the prevalence of SR, priority, etc. Protect instead of Hone Claws and Life Orb might be better. Also, if you're not going to mega evolve it, you definitely want Jolly instead of Adamant. 80 Base Speed isn't that great.

Azumarill - Seems fine. I would like to know why the EVs are spread the way they are, though. I would probably consider running Aqua Jet over Superpower, though. The priority is really good because of how slow Azumarill is and considering that you don't have any speed EVs. Also, Superpower is annoying because after you use it once, you probably have to switch right after. Idk what format this is for, but if Aegislash isn't banned in can come in and set up a SD.

Bisharp - Bisharp is fast enough that you can probably get away with going Jolly + 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 Def. You still won't be that fast, but you'll outspeed enough to justify the change imo. SD over Psycho Cut too, because Psycho Cut only has 70 BP and as far as I can tell it's just to cover Fighting Types, but it probably won't even OHKO anyways and also you can just switch.

Garchomp - Also looks good. Fire Fang > Poison Jab, though. Poison Jab covers fairies but imo Fire Fang is better for hitting Ferrothorn, Aegislash, etc. Some people even run Flamethrower because it hits Ferrothorn even harder but I don't think it's that relevant because it looks like this is just a SR set, not a SD sweeper set.

Venasaur-Mega - Seems fine again. I would still like to know the reasoning behind the EVs, though.

Magnezone - If this is to trap Steel Types, you should definitely give it Magnet Pull. Also, 252 Spe/252 SpA/4 SpD with Choice Scarf is better to trap Steel Types.

Celesteela doesn't exist in ORAS :3
oops yeah
I think Fire Fang is still better though. I just thought of Celesteela as an example without remembering that it's not in oras.
I thought poison jab is still better than fire fang cuz it has high base power and can cover up fairies
Any suggestions on changing any member of team?
Fire Fang is 4x effective against Ferrothorn and other Steel Types. I think it's more useful considering how many people would send out Ferrothorn to force a switch against Garchomp. I still don't know what format it is, so I was just giving general teambuilding advice. If Mega Blaziken is allowed, it's probably better to make Blaziken Mega and replace Vensaur with something that checks Landorus-T, like Weavile, Mamoswine, Rotom-W, you could use Ferrothorn if you want a grass type on your team still. You could also make Garchomp an SD set if you add Ferrothorn. Or you could replace Venasaur with a spinner or a defogger.

Landorus-T could also be an option because it fits well on pretty much any team. It's op, just watch out for ice types, special wallbreakers, or physical walls.
I already have 2 steel type Pokémon on my team adding ferrothorn would let me in huge disadvantage against fire and fighting type
Although I like the SD set for garchomp . I have magnezone for ferrothorns
Magnezone is only good against Ferrothorn if you have Magnet Pull. If you do change it, though, I think Fire Fang is still worth it because you can stay in instead of switching into Magnezone and let them set up SR or Leech Seed. A defogger could be good, since like you said you have 2 Steel Types already. I would probably recommend Latias, even though it shares a typing with Garchomp.

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/72 HP/184 SpA
IVs: 0 Atk
-Defog
-Healing Wish/Roost
-Psyshock
-Draco Meteor
As you said I thought of replacing venusaur , as its mega isn't that much good and I have blaziken for covering mega slaught . I am thinking of replacing venusaur with gliscor . Gliscor can be a deffoger as well as a physical attacker
The reason why I don't wanna use landorus-T and latias is cuz they are legends. I wanna make a team without legends and mythicals
Gliscor would be a good choice if you don't want to use legendaries or mythicals. Go for it. It might be hard finding a Poison Heal one, though.
