If you aren't using a special move, then I prefer double-edge on mence.

Rock slide > Sludge bomb on gross
 
Not really... Ludicolo is annoying, SB inflicts more damage to Celebi, and it does decent damage against Zappy and Gyara. Besides, Laxen owns Zappy.

Dugtrio can kill half of your team, and it's like on every OU team, so be careful.

Give some defense to Swampert (a 260-270 def stat is usually good enough), since that is like the only way you're going to stop a DDMence who will otherwise easily 6-0 you.

Lax needs more hp, like 140 or 204 EVs, and Heracross likes some hp as well, to switch into **** better.

Looks good otherwise.

HP [Rock] is always an option. And Explosion Choice band is just evil.

Dugtrio kills this with Aerial Ace.
As said above, your team has a Dugtrio weak. Toss in Spikes from Dugtrio's buddy Skarm and you're screwed if you don't have Salamence out.
You need a good special sweeper. And Magneton/Swampert do not count. I mean a GOOD Special sweeper (i.e. Starmie, Porygon2, Houndoom).
