As the title says, I am making an RMT about my sandstorm team, that i am soon to obtain. If you play competitively, you will see that weather teams are very popular in today's meta game. Which is why I decided to make this team, along with [TRDRS]PokeTrader's help. Some of the information on the thread is out of [TRDRS]PokeTrader's words. Well here it is.
The Lead:
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sandstream
Nature: Sassy
EVs: 252 HP/160 Sp.Atk/96 Sp.Def
~Stealth Rock
~Pursuit
~Ice Beam
~Fire Blast
This set is good for getting rid of Drought Ninetails and Drizzle Politoed. Tyranitar is slower than both of these pesky Pokemon so at the beginning of the battle when he is your lead then Sandstorm is set up, not Sun or Rain, so the other pokemon might be scared out and when they do then you Pursuit them, which in some case can KO them both. This pokemon can set up stealth rocks.
Water Weakness: Jellicent Ferrothorn
Grass Weakness: Ferrothorn
Fighting Weakness: Jellicent Gliscor
Ground Weakness: Gliscor
Bug Weakness: Gliscor Excadrill Jellethorn
Steel Weakness: Gliscor Excadrill Ferrothorn Jellicent
Stallin'
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP/80 Atk/176 Spd
~Protect
~Fling
~Earthquake
~Acrobatics
Gliscor is a great staller because he can activate Toxic Orb, get healed, use protect and stall. Earthquake is great for a STAB move
Water Weakness: Jellicent Ferrothorn
Ice Weakness: Jellicent Ferrothorn Tyranitar
Sweeper #1:
Excadrill @ Air Baloon
Ability: Sand Rush
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
~Swords Dancehttp://victoryroad.net/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=85
~X-Scissor
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake
Who doesn't love this epic mole! This set is basic except for Jolly which is to outspeed other Excadrill. With sandstorm on the field, this thing is faster than a lot of pokes.
Fire Weakness: Jellicent Tyranitar
Water Weakness: Jellicent Ferrothorn
Fighting Weakness: Jellicent Gliscor
Ground Weakness: Gliscor
Sweeper #2
Stoutland @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Rush
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
~Fire Fang
~Crunch
~Wild Bolt
~Return
This ugly little puppy has a good perk. Sand Rush. Just like its pal excadrill, this thing is incredibly fast in sand. With very strong moves, he is very capable of a sweep.
Fighting Weakness: Jellicent Gliscor
Wall #1
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/48 Def/208 Sp.Def
~Thunder Wave
~Spikes
~Leech Seed
~Gyro Ball
The thorny pokemon of doom. This thing deals MASSIVE damage, and is a great physical wall. It covers some type weaknesses. And because it is a steel type, he isn't affected by the storm. Physical attacker vs Leech seed, Spikes, Iron Barbs, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, and Rocky Helmet= Ferrothorn wins!
Fire Weakness: Jellicent Tyranitar
Fighting Weakness: Jellicent Gliscor
Wall #2
Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/4 Spd
~Recover
~Taunt
~Toxic
~Scald
Compliments the Jellithorn combo nicely. It defends against my fighting weakness very well. It makes a very good spin blocker. And for my water weaknesses, it absorbs it with its ability.
Electric Weakness: Ferrothorn Excadrill Gliscor
Grass Weakness: Ferrothorn
Ghost Weakness: Ferrothorn Stoutland Excadrill Tyranitar
