How Can I Improve my Electric Team?

This was about the highlight of the battles, otherwise I lose sorely. I really want to try a team centered around Ion Deluge, Magnetic Flux, and Electric Terrain.

My current team is:

Ampharos @ Leftovers
Ability: Plus
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Def
Calm Nature
- Ion Deluge
- Magnetic Flux
- Eerie Impulse
- Electric Terrain

Heliolisk @ Life Orb
Ability: Solar Power
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Electrify
- Thunder
- Glare
- Surf

Magnezone @ Light Clay
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Electric Terrain
- Magnetic Flux

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Double-Edge
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Power-Up Punch

Klinklang @ King's Rock
Ability: Plus
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Shift Gear
- Gear Grind
- Return
- Volt Switch

Lanturn @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Ion Deluge
- Scald
- Discharge
- Thunder Wave

I kind of want to replace Heliolisk's item with something else but I'm not sure what. I'm also not sure if I want to keep Magnezone, as it hasn't really made any differences in battles, but I suppose it's handy to keep an extra Terrainer.

Ion Deluge is used on Klinklang and Electivire to change Return and Double Edge into high-powered Electric moves. Electrify is on Heliolisk to catch stuff like Earthquakers and Heat Wavers off guard and nab boosts for Electivire and restore HP for Lanturn. Electric Terrain shuts spore down. Eerie Impulse along with Magnetic Flux makes Ampharos and Klinklang bulkier.

I'm thinking of replacing Klinklang with Manectric so it could make use of the SpA boost from Plus/Minus, but Klinklang can really make use of Ion Deluge and has Shift Gear.

Has anybody else tried this, even for shits and giggles? Thoughts?

Also gimmick battle strats general I guess
