RMT: OU team ( for wifi battles )

sha

I'm trying to put a good team together for wifi battles.
A few pokemons on my team work great together, but I'm not sure yet.
So your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Here's the team I had in mind:
I know that my pokemon roles aren't balanced, but that's why I need your help :)
Changes are in bold.

Thundurus @ Lum Berry ( special scouter )
Prankster
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- U-turn

I first used a Thundurus with Taunt and Thunder Wave, but went back to this build because of u-turn.
I've found u-turn very usefull for switching to a pokemon that covers thundurus' weaknesses like Lucario.
STAB thunderbolt and hidden power ice cover most other threaths.
I gave him Lum Berry instead of Leftovers, because my new leader has leftovers now.

Lucario @ Life Orb ( special sweeper )
Inner Focus
4 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
Modest
- Nasty Plot
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Vacuum Wave

Lucario is here for back-up purposes on Thundurus resisting ice and rock.
After a u-turn from thundurus a Nasty Plot is common while resisting an ice or rock attack.
Then sweep with Aura Sphere or Dark Pulse. Vacuum Wave finishes opponents off who are already hurt badly.
Due to the suggestion of cartercr i've changed Lucario to another special sweeper, who now can counter Excadrill.
Dark Pulse gives my team extra coverage ( dropped ice fang on the old build, because i had enough ice type attacks ).

Swampert @ Leftovers ( Leader )
Torrent
240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpD
Relaxed
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Roar

I've dropped Terrakion for Swampert.
I've chosen Swampert for 2 reasons:
First, setting up stealth rock with swampert as a leader is very easy due to his bulky-ness
Second, his weakness is grass and I don't encounter much pokemon who can OHKO him.
Ice beam is there for hurting dragon types like dragonite, salamence and even hurting latios/latias.
Gliscor will also think twice before switching in, if they expect it ,otherwise he'll criple gliscor.
Earthquake is STAB, so he hurts everything that doesn't resist it and gives good type coverage.
Roar is chosen over scald or toxic for phazing everything that you can't hurt with ice beam or earthquake.

Latios @ Expert Belt ( special sweeper )
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Hidden Power Fire
- Psyshock

Latios is here mainly to deal with psychic weak opponents and his special def.
I could switch to Latias, but Latios is more aggressive.
Draco meteor is for dealing with Rotom-W and other Dragon types.
Surf and Hidden Power Fire is for dealing with walls and type coverage.
Latios has good synergie with Lucario and Heatran.

Heatran @ Air Balloon ( special sweeper )
Flash Fire
252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Grass
- Stealth Rock

Heatran in his turn protects Lucario, by resisting fire-type attacks and getting a boost with flash fire.
As a leader setting up stealth rock is easy, just watch out for water-type attacks.
After his balloon pops he's very fragile to earthquake, but Thundurus covers that.
Earthpower is for dealing with other Heatran and Hidden Power Grass is mainly here against Swampert and other bulky water types.
It hurts Rotom-W also badly, but he can return the pain with hydro pump.
Fire blast is less accurate than flamethrower, but the power difference is massive.

Starmie @ Sitrus Berry ( special spinner )
Natural Cure
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin

This is one of my most favorite pokemon.
The old build had psychic instead of rapid spin, but i wanted to give entry hazard users a hard time dealing with Starmie.
Combined with Starmie's speed he alone can cripple entire teams due to its great move coverage.
Starmie can also take a water type hit that otherwise OHKO Heatran.
 
I would start by suggesting to make this a hyper-offensive team. You have the general feel here, so maybe put in a lead such as Aerodactyl or Deoxys-S. Either one can set up hazards or screens, and from there you can attack the opponent. I would suggest you go all Special from that point. If you do go all Special, you'd have to worry about only a couple walls before you can win the battle. Blissey/Chansey are both taken out by Psyshock from Latios, and Ferrothorn is destroyed by Heatran. If you go ahead and switch Lucario to the NP set, it can effectively counter Excadrill. I would drop Terrakion if you chose to make these changes.
 
Thx, I will test your suggestions
I've changed Lucario to a nasty plot build.
As a lead i've chosen aerodactyl because deoxys-s can't enter random wifi battles
 
Yes he is. I was doubting between an anti-lead and a normal lead, but choose Swampert for setting up stealth rock easy.
