Really, you can just plow through the entire E4 as long as you have like 3 pokemon in the very high 40's or low 50's, which is basically what I did. The only problem I foresee at the moment is Lance's Aerodactyl and possibly Gyarados.
About the heatran/water/grass core in the current metagame.
I don't much care for heatran and was wondering if I could substitute its place with maybe two other pokemon? There really isnt a fire type that could take his place so I'm willing to use two slots to simulate that.

Unless you have a fast Taunt, a Sleep Talk user, or a Pokémon with a pre-existing status, you will almost always fall victim to Spore. After that though, Breloom can be taken out with much less trouble
Infernape doesnt take resisted hits very well either.
Generally, let him put your pokemon to sleep. You dont want to risk it substituting on a switch so just stay in. At this point he should go for the spore and then sub on the switch. From here either have an encore user on your team lock him into substitute or u turn into an intimidate pokemon or a pokemon that resists focus punch. Bulkydos and Celebi are pretty good counters.
My team has an Electric/Ground problem. Someone recommended a Specs Shaymin, over Specs Luke, but I don't have a Modest Shaymin. I'm wondering if Specs Sceptile would be a good choice, the drop in Special Attack is pretty small, and the Speed boost is phenomenal. Opinion?
(If not then I'll probably use Sub-Split Gengar.)

Sceptile is fine. Gengar however does not resist electric. In OU, you might want to try Roserade (more power, less speed). It's half poison, though.
Life Orb Sceptile is a LOT better than Specs Sceptile in OU as you won't be easily walled and be setup fodder. Timid Shaymin is fine also, as Timid is better for today's metagame. A Rotom forme, Flygon or Gliscor can all work well also because they resist Electric/Ground.
Then why did my thread about it get deleted?
Celebi is a good counter. It doesn't fear Focus Punch, Seed Bomb or Leech Seed. With Natural Cure it also doesn't fear Sleep.
I know but that why I also suggested Metagross as his question was which 2 pokemon can replace Heatran (2 for 1).
Considering the fact that you're on shoddy, it's probably a glitch. Shoddy is very accurately named in my opinion, there are a lot of glitches that will never be worked out on Shoddy and we can only hope they will be fixed when Shoddy 2 comes around
I'm trying to catch Lugia with a Premier Ball. Out of of 4 attempts, I have not caught him; he has escaped out of a total of 339 Premier Balls, each one while at 1 HP and while sleeping, and each time eventually Struggled himself to death. Am I EXTREMELY unlucky, or what?
Um, I don't even see why you posted this becasue...it's not really a question. Obviously you ARE unlucky so far and you know that.
Well the catch rate calculator I used gave me a 1.9% success chance for each ball, which means that the odds are in my favor to catch it out of 339 attempts, but my experience leads me to believe that this percentage might not be correct and that it may be much lower. I suppose I should have asked for verification on the number.
