I use this team in Pokémon Showdown for OU and it seems to work really good. I still feel like my team is missing something and I still find some Pokémon tricky to face. I do try to be original, but I'm open-minded.

My Team:

Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Sp.Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -Sp.Atk)

-Will-O-Wisp

Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

Serperior @ Lum Berry
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

-Transform
-(No Move)
-(No Move)

Notes:

For Landorus, I was going to have a Choice Band to bypass Item Clause (even though it isn't in effect for most battles), but Landorus just isn't fast enough.

For Heatran, Lava Plume does have a decent 30% to burn (same as Scald) although only having 80 base power. I know Flamethrower and Fire Blast have greater power, but I don't like Fire Blast for its accuracy. Also, Lava Plume's base power would be boosted to 120 because of Flash Fire.

For Serperior, I know its special movepool is terrible, so I do the best that I can. I run Nature Power (which turns into Tri-Attack) instead of Wring Out because if my opponent is less than full health, Dragon Pulse or Hidden Power would be better. Also, Nature Power isn't too bad for hax. And in the chance that my opponent runs Electric Terrain, Misty Terrain, or Grassy Terrain, Nature Power turns to Thunderbolt, Moonblast, and Energy Ball, respectively, which are all special moves. The reason I run a Lum Berry is because I found that an easy way to shut down Serperior is through status ailments. My only pet peeve with Serperior is that Leaf Storm misses once in a while. Also, if you find a better type for Hidden Power, please tell me.

For Sableye, a priority attacking move would be nice, but I can only use 4 moves and what it has is decent enough.

For Ditto, the primary reason I use it is for a revenge-killer and also to switch in to something that set up Attack or Sp. Atk boosts.

For Chansey, I'm debating whether or not I should change it to Blissey. Sure, Blissey is UU but having that Eviolite knocked off is very devastating. Also, none of my Pokémon have Leftovers.

Sorry if I ranted.

I have never seen a person use a terrain move in showdown
I think HP Rock would suit Serperior better than HP Fire. The only weaknesses HP Fire covers are Bug and Ice but Hp Rock covers Bug, Ice, Flying, and Fire making it much better. This is a pretty good team and doesn't need too many improvements in my opinion. Keep Chansey because even in the case of the item being Knocked off, Blissey only has slightly more HP.
