Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thank you. I found that Zapdos is a really bastard vs this team. It's really important to keep Excadrill alive sometimes, which is hard with his lack of recovery.
Great suggestion but I would
I'd have to agree with your suggestion on Tyranitar as well. Also, I still need Rapid Spin on Excadrill. It's a must for Mega Pinsir.

My GXE is pretty low because I usually toy around with new teams and never took laddering too seriously until I started rolling with this team.

Good point about the Excadrill. I used that set with my Mega Pinsir team which really helped with many electric types that otherwise wall him. However, your Excadrill set is much better overall. Especially for setting up rock and statusing the two Magic Bounce Megas.
Here is a pretty effective Defensive core that I have used on a few teams. I don't post often or play too competitively so please have mercy but I think I found a pretty nice core here.
Rotom-W + Clefable + Excadrill

At first glance, this seems like a very uncommon defensive core...
I was honestly really shocked that Altaria didn't get slapped with the Dragon/Fairy typing this gen. It's easily the "friendliest" Dragon type around and is the only Dragon capable of learning Moonblast and the only non-fairy to learn it besides Cresselia. Honestly, I think we'll see a mega evo...
SwagPlay makes ParaFlinch look elementary. I used to have feel shame when using Togekiss but not anymore! Regardless, I think the Prankster ability was a bad addition to the game in the first place. The Ditto + SwagPlay poke is nearly too good and can turn any opponent against them in a...
Genesect is bar far more deserving of a ban than Deo-S and Deo-D. If Lucario could only sweep on one side of the spectrum (physical or special) I feel that it would be a lot eaiser to counter but by the time you find out what set the opposing Lucario is running, it's too late. I feel all 4 need...
I finally got the Shiny Charm so I will contribute when I can. I hatched 20 yesterday with a Spanish Ditto with no success. I will add my contributions to the spread sheet.
Since when do people run SpA Aegislash? I have honestly seen it once since the OU beta started. Quagsire also counters Talonflame and Scizor as well. He's got a spot on my OU team.
From my experience, Unaware Quagsire (Relaxed 252HP/Def) is one of the best counters for Aegislash. Ignoring stat boosts and resistant to Iron Head while Shadow Sneak and Sacred Sword do minimal damage. Just Quake and Recover, Quake and Recover.
