Personally, I hate Chancy stallers, but if you have Chancy, I will not hate. But I would use Shuckle instead of Ferrothorn for traps;

Shuckle @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpD / 4 HP
nature Nature
- Sticky Web
- Stealth Rocks
- Toxic/Rock Slide
- Rest

This will further better your traps game because of Shuckle's defenses. Switch to Chancy if Shuckle is in danger; it is only in danger if you have already rested once(Chesto eaten) and very low, a.e. don't want to risk another rest. Chancy will bulk hits until all of your traps are set. After that, it's game to your power houses.

I do have a problem with your Lando-T. Sash on a Lando doesn't work in my opinion because there is nothing that can one shot it without taking an Earthquake or weak to Greninja and Medicham. Using Shuckle would also free up a slot on Lando-T. Mago Berry heals about half when your Health is 25% or lower. Psychic Seed gives Lando-T 1.5 SpD boost for Psychic Terrain(Lele)

Landorus-Therian @ Mago Berry/Psychic Seed
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance/Explosion

With Medicham, I prefer Drain Punch(75 power) over High Jump Kick. It is more powerful than High Jump Kick(130 Power), but Drain Punch lets you heal.

I noticed that you don't have a Rapid Spinner, although your mons aren't affected by Stealth Rocks too much.

Good Luck!

There are a bunch of reasons why Ferrothorn is better than Shuckle. Ferrothorn's HP is much higher, so Shuckle isn't really better at taking hits.
252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja-Ash Dark Pulse vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Shuckle: 93-111 (51 - 60.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja-Ash Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 232+ SpD Ferrothorn: 145-172 (41.1 - 48.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Ferrothorn's type gives it a lot more resistances, including water, electric, and a key resistance to stealth rock. Ferrothorn's spikes hurt a lot more than Shuckle's sticky web, and Ferrothorn can use leech seed to force switches. Ferrothorn can also directly attack opponents and sometimes do decent amounts of damage, while Shuckle passively lets opponents use moves like stealth rock or swords dance.

It's a pretty well built team. Just missing a fire type coverage to deal with the everpresent scissor, forretress, ferrothorn and others... Medicham would be great, breaking focus sashes with fake out and then finishing them with fire punch.

Talking about the movesets, i'm seeing you're setting spikes with ferrothorn... I think it can be more practical swapping it by stealth rock. Therefore, Landorus would have a free moveslot with which can bring any other coverage move. Contrarily, having two stealth rock setters it's somewhat unnecessary. A flying stab move wouldn't be bad as it will help dealing with your multiple fighting weakness. I would recommend u-turn too, for keeping momentum while also taking advantage of that Intimidate.

Also I'm seeing the fact tapu lele is setting up psiquic terrain which makes priority moves fail. Thus, when that terrain is active greninja's water suriken will fail. Moreover, greninja is holding a choice item, what makes him even more susceptible. That's something to have in mind. Just swap life orb for choice item if concerned, or can swap tapu lele for gardevoir, which has a lot more power and has the same tipyng, with a pretty good ability in trace.

But overall, your team is very well already. Hope I helped. It's my first time commenting.

Greninja needs choice specs to one-shot certain things and not take damage, which makes form changing easier. Also Landorus has no good flying attacks.
I was thinking about fly + flyiumZ. I have seen many Landorus using supersonic skystrike and it seems to work well..
Having a spikes Ferrothorn and a stealth rock Landorus is probably better than having only stealth rock. Also I think if he/she/it did want to change a move on Landorus, U-turn is by far the best option because it lets Landorus mindlessly switch into physical attackers and U-turn right after the opponent switches.
