Rhyperior and Nidoking would make infinitely better Physical and Special Sweepers that get the advantages of sand. You can replace Tyranitar and Reuniclus/Slowking with those two.
 
Hrm...you have 3 trick roomers, but only 2 abusers? (shuckle doesn't count). I would suggest replacing either shuckle or one of the TR users for another sweeper, like ryperior, azumarill, or aggron.
 
Marowak is a nice pokemon under trick room, and you should replace the Adamant nature on your Excadrill to a Brave nature. Here are other pokemon who do well under trick room: Conkeldurr, Metagross, Gigalith, Octillery, Emboar, Bisharp, Druddigon, Scizor, Ursaring, Breloom, Heatran, Exeggutor, Tangrowth, Vaporeon, Magnezone, Chandelure, Darmanitan(Zen Mode), Eeleketross, Rotom-A,

Excadrill doesn't need brave because of macho brace.


And I might try some of those guys over Shuckle
 
I know having Trick Room on three different pokes makes it more convenient and easier to get off multiple successful Trick Rooms, but note that Reuni and Slowking have similar typing, allowing a lead Tyranitar or a Hippowdon w/ Crunch take down 2/3 of your Trick Room-ers. Also, a random threat I thought of while I was writing this is Choice Band/Life Orb lead Arcanine. It might not be able to OHKO your Bronzong, but it could:
1) Burn it --> bye bye Bronzong
2) crit --> be able to Crunch Reuni + Slowking
3) just be strong enough or happen to have a Fire Gem

Shouldn't be a giant problem, since they're a bit uncommon right now, but just a heads-up.

Great RMT!
 
No Escavalier? Under TR, he's "faster" than opposing Renniculus and can OHKO with STAB Megahorn. Furthermore, he has Pursuit. Max HP no def makes him take only around 60% from a Latios Draco Meteor while he one hits it with Pursuit. High attack and no speed just screams Trick Room.

Also, any attack aimed at Bronzong is not resisted my Excadrill. Fire attacks are what are usually aimed at him, which is definitely not resisted by Excadrill. Why doesn't Bronzong have Gyro Ball?? It threatens other Sand Storm teams and Chlorophyll sweepers so well.

On Slowking, I would replace Nasty Plot with Flamethrower to hit things like Ferrothorn. Which also reminds me that your whole team is very weak to Ferrothorn. It can switch in and "outspeed" everything under TR conditions if it's Sassy and 0 Spe IVs.

haven't ran into any Arcanine so far, but thanks for the heads up.

I'm liking the idea of Escaliver over shuckle. What's a good set? Not to experienced with him.
 
I've been working on a Shuckle repacement and I have a question

What could a brave nature Scizor "outspeed" in TR?

Also(noob question) how do you get sprites on your post?
 
I believe a 0 speed IV brave Scizor should be able to outspeed anything neutral natured with a base speed of 58 or higher (Scrafty, Rampardos, Swampert, Empoleon, Abomasnow, Magnezone, Jellicent, Tyranitar (that could be helpful) and Vaporeon).
