Use Earthquake on Excadrill instead of Drill Run and consider swapping X-scissor for Swords Dance. On Heatran I recommend a trapper set to remover defensive Pokemon like Blissey. The Heatran set would be Magma Storm, Taunt, Toxic, and Earth Power with Leftovers and a specially defensive EV spread. You can also try switching Poison Jab on Garchomp to Stone Edge.
do Thunderbolt instead of Thunder on Nihilego
Also if Excadrill is a hazard remover use leftovers instead of focus sash. If you switch into stealth rocks, for example, Focus sash is useless.
Why flamethrower and iron defense on heatran? Why roar on ttar over crunch? Why poison jab on garchomp? Why drill run, x scissor, and focus sash on excadrill? Why rocky helmet, analytic, gyro ball, and thunder wave on magnezone? Why clear smog on nihilego?
Flamethrower and iron defence is to have stab and get bulkier. Roar is to remove stat changes like swords dance boosts. Drill run is for a high critical hit chance x scissors is for grass types and coverage. I’m jus’ gonna say focus sash should’ve been leftovers so my bad. Rocky helmet is to pair with magnezones defences analytic is to go with gyro ball. I know magnezones att isn’t good but it’s slowness and analytic makes up for it. Thunder wave is to slow opponents down if I need to and clear smog on nihilego to fulfill the same thing as tyranitar and remove any stat changes.
Thanks for the answer I will try it out soon so thx. It is very appreciated
Thunder Wave and Gyro Ball?

I'm just gonna make this quick

First off, do not use sand veil Garchomp on a sand team. It is fine if it's gen eight since Garchomp can actually sweep but in gen seven, never use it. You will be horribly inconsistent if you do. Next is don't use Magnezone, Heatran, Excadrill and Nihelego on the same team. You do not want to be vulnerable to the Landorus that is prowling at every god damn corner

The only things I'll keep are Tyranitar and Excadrill. Everything else will be dropped from the team

Use this Tyranitar spread. It is meant to outspeed uninvested Rotom while still pressuring defoggers with stab stone miss

If you insist on using Tyranitar's sand, then it's better if you take advantage of Drill's unique qualities, namely rapid spin. It also allows you to compress the role of z user and sweeper

I put Lele on the team because it's just a good fit. Excadrill appreciates it's terrain which protects it against Greninja's shuriken. It's not a good answer but at least it buys you time to revenge kill it, or at the very least, stop it from spamming shuriken

Slowbro and Amoonguss serve as your defensive core. Bro handles the ground types and kills them while Amoonguss is your main Greninja check

Celesteela is to help Slowbro and Amoonguss against the stuff they cannot handle such as Mega Zam, Kartana and Bulu. Also provides a ground immunity which is helpful
