Sandstorm Team - WARNING: POKÉMON CONTAIN IMPROPRIATE NICKNAMES!

SandtormShit (Tyranitar) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Crunch

Lead Tyranitar for the Sandstorm. The strategy is, SUB while the other leads put up Stealth rock, then attack.


SuckITSpunk (Garchomp) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Fang
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance

Swords Dancer. Make him come in on something that has to switch and BOOM! Intant Sweep.


ZeSpeedIzCol (Doryuuzu) (M) @ Balloon
Trait: Sand Throw
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

Revenge Killer. Baloon instead of Life Orb 'cause of the EQ.


OhYeah! (Heatran) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 36 HP / 252 SAtk / 220 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Explosion

Just to scare of any Grass/Ice types.


WallMe! (Hippowdon) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 104 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Fang

Physical Wall. Stall, stall, and more stall. He comes when anybody uses Rain Dance, Sunny Day, etc...


Stupid*****! (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic

STALL! STALL! Blissey is here just for the stalling.

Hippowdon has to switch spots with Tyranitar because Hippowdon has the bulk to survive an attack and then set up SR. Hippowdon can provide SS as well. I'd tweak his set so that you can deal with stall teams a bit better:
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Crunch/Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Flamethrower
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 252 HP/60 Atk/176 SAtk/20 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Just curious, how are you going to deal with Bulky Water Pokemon? I see you don't have anything to take down any. Just saying.

Stalling :D


What else?

Hi, we have a four word / 25 character minimum at PC for all posts, please try to follow this rule in the future.

What would happen if, perchance, someone had fainted your Tyranitar and then used Rain Dance or Sunny day (Etc.)? Your Sandstorm set would be useless.

Thats a problem all weather teams face. You have to conserve your weather starter. That and he has 2 SS starters lol.

But yes, bulky waters troll this team to hell and back. You cant do anything to a Will-o-Wisp/Taunt Jellicent or even CroCune which is rather sad considering that sucks lol.

Put in an electric type or something.

You are also rather foe Excadrill weak so you need a check to that too.

Lastly, you cant do anything to Bulk Up Conkeldurr, period lol.

You have 3 useless slots imo, so sort out those aforementioned problems by replacing the dead weight (see : Heatran [uhh doesn't revenge kill anything that Excadrill wont], Hippowdon [you dont need 2 ss starters] and Blissey [slows down momentum etc]).

Use my threat list if you need help on the checks and counters.
