D/P/Pt Trick Room Team Help?

It's feeding time
With Platinum creeping up on us like a shadow, I thought I'd begin competitive battling sooner or later, and decided to try to make a Trick Room Team. I've designed and done some choices, and now I'd like to know any improvements that can be done.

The team is the following:

Gallade
Steadfast
Brave Nature
(not item yet)
Psycho Cut
Night Slash
Trick Room
ThunderPunch

Magnezone
Magnet Pull
Quiet Nature
Leftsovers
Thunderbolt
Explosion
Gyro Ball
Thunder Wave

Tangrowth
Leaf Armour
Brave Nature
(not item yet)
Power Whip
Earthquake
Focus Blast
Sleep Powder

Probopass
Magnet Pull
Sassy Nature
Leftovers
Thunder Wave
Toxic
Power Gem
Protect

Porygon-Z
Adaptibility
Quiet Nature
(not item yet)
Tri Attack
Trick Room
Psychic
Dark pulse

Dusknoir
Pressure
Brave Nature
Leftovers
Trick Room
Shadow Punch
Fire Punch
Ice Punch

Suggestions for different moves/natures/Items are gladly welcome.
 
Firstly PLEASE use the

Pokemon @ Item
Ability / Nature
EVs:
~ Move 1
~ Move 2
~ Move 3
~ Move 4

Or something like that format because it's quite a pain to look at your format.

I don't think Gallade is a good Trick Room user, there are better ones and I haven't seen one team with one, also Gallade's base speed stat is 80 which isn't high but is pretty high considering the usual of Trick Room teams.

Bronzong is a good one to set up Trick Room, you could use...

~ Gyro Ball
~ Trick Room
~ Reflect / Light Screen / Earthquake
~ Explosion

Why do I get the feeling that you chose some random Pokemon that have low speed? Some Pokemon do different roles better, Tangrowth is better as a defensive Pokemon but could work. But there are better Trick Roomers. Magnezone is decent and so is Dusknoir...

I guess I'm new to competitive battling but I've been going for a while. I suggest going on Smogon's RMT forum and searching up some Trick Room teams for reference and looking at some Pokemon's analysis's on the main site.

And get Shoddy, because you don't need to waste time EV training and everything. And it's more enforced, in terms of the tiers and banned Pokemon and stuff which Wi-Fi doesn't block.

Gallade and Porygon-Z have far too much speed to be on a Trick Room team. Bronzong would be a good Pokemon to add.
Marowak also works well on a Trick Room team, since it's normally hindered by low Speed.
Porygon2 could probably replace Porygon-Z.
