Happy Friday everyone! I'm looking for some input on my current team. One issue that I'm facing is that both my Heatran and Excadrill both run Stealth Rock. Personally, I HATE having Pokémon with the same moves but I don't know whether Excadrill or Heatran should drop Stealth Rock. Here are their current move sets:

Heatran (Leftovers)
Calm 252 HP / 252 SP. DEF / 4 HP
- Flamethrower
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Roar

Excadrill (Air Balloon)
Adamant 252 ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 DEF
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide

If this help with your suggestions, the other 4 members of my team are Charizard X, Substitute + Baton Pass Leafeon, Prankster Sableye, and Choice Scarf Rotom-W.

Full move sets for each member is appreciated.

Lava Plume is the preferred option on Heatran for the higher burn chance.

Charizard is vulnerable to Stealth Rock, so give Excadrill Rapid Spin over Stealth Rock. It should look like this:
-Earthquake
-Iron Head/Rock Slide
-Rapid Spin
-Swords Dance/Rock Slide
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Air Balloon/Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker

Preferred movesets for each Pokemon:

Charizard:
-Dragon Dance
-Flare Blitz
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake/Roost
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Fire Punch
-Dragon Claw
-Will-o-Wisp
-Roost
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 248 HP/84 Def/176 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

Leafeon is outclassed by a lot of things in OU, particularly SubPassing. I think Scolipede fits the bill better:
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-Protect/Megahorn
-Swords Dance
Nature: Timid/Jolly
EVs: 248 HP/208 SDef/52 Spe
Item: Mental Herb/Black Sludge
Ability: Speed Boost

Sableye:
-Taunt
-Will-o-Wisp
-Recover
-Night Shade/Foul Play/Knock Off
Nature: Calm/Careful
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Prankster

Wash Rotom:
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Ice)
-Trick
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

Both Excadrill and Heatran are good Stealth Rock setters, so which one you wanna have as the Stealth Rocker is up to you. But I think it would be best to give Excadrill Rapid Spin to clear off hazards.
