If thundurus' role is to get KO's on kyogre, you already have a ferrothorn to do so (replacing seed bomb with power whip, you'll really want the power), there's not much of a point to it. A couple interesting VGC16 choices ago, my first team of the season had Leafeon for that exact purpose, but it did not get me that far. Terrakion might be a good Kang counter, but im not confident in the dent it can leave in the rest of the meta. Not a lot of fighting type pokemon in general are being used, even the usually present Conkeldurr. It's tempting to land something STAB-SuperEffective, but there are many other ways to deal Kangaskhan massive damage without having a fragile pokemon invested on specifically taking it out. I would at least replace your thundurus with it's other bulkier form and set, taking advantage of prankster and tbolt doing decent enough damage on kyogre. Kangaskhan could have Low Kick instead of protect to take out other Kang's and the terrakion slot could be something entirely different, according to the needs of your team.
I agree with Miguel. Maybe you already know about showdown, you should test your team there, to see what facets of your team need improvement. Regarding the HP-Ground, I used it myself, not just for groudon but also for other pesky steel types. I thought it could help against the thorns but it doesn't knock it out, I'm considering HP-Fire now, or a new partner to deal with it aside from groudon.
I literally copied the team from my showdown. I was gonna get rid of the terrakion because its literally a sitting duck and is only good when there is a kang about. As for the Thundy I may replace it with either cress or crobat for speed control. I'm not 100% sure about the terrakion. Maybe an amoonguss for redirect or something.
