LOLOL QUICK CLAW MAMO WEAK! [OU RMT]

Yeah, I made a sandstorm offense team, but, honestly, it's bad (or maybe I'm just bad). I don't know how I'm winning ~75% of my battles (maybe because it's netbattle, lol), but I need help. =| My team absolutely lacks synergy and is really, really, weak to Physical walls and anything carrying EQ/Earth Power.

Tyranitar @ Lum Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 32 Atk / 224 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Payback
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge

Standard T-Tar anti-lead to get the Sandstorm off straight away and take out opposing leads. Works well against a lot of stuff, except stuff with fighting moves, in which case I go to this:

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Trait: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance

Bog-standard Swords Dance Gliscor. Debating whether I should switch Hyper Cutter for Sand Veil. Cutter's shown very useful when Salamence or Gyarados thinks they can Intimidate me away somehow. With bulky EVs, I can easily tank Mence's Draco Meteor, although it leaves me much weaker in terms of offense and i don't need that much defensive power to tank it, either. Recommendation on a new EV spread?

Empoleon @ Life Orb
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 24 HP / 232 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Grass Knot
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

Agility sweeping Empoleon for mid-late-game or when I'm getting screwed by opposing Sandstorm Stall teams, which really kill me dead.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 84 Atk / 252 Spd / 172 SAtk
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Iron Head
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn

Mixed Scarf Jirachi. I dunno where I came up with this, but I was sort of Ground-type Physical Wall weak and, well, HP Ice has the capability to surprise and deal decent damage. Weird EVs (?). Can 2HKO most things that wall the rest of my guys. Except Swampert. =(

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Outrage
- U-turn

Second revenge killer (lol) and useful late-game sweeper with Outrage. Blast for Skarms, etc. Also, double U-turn is fun and very useful.

Regirock @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 196 HP / 60 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Stone Edge

This guy...I sort of threw in at the end. He really tanks, but I also really dislike letting Sleep Talk run half the game for me so I'd prefer it if it were replaceable.

So, yeah. Go rip it apart. Please.

Actually, half your team loses to mamo lol if Empoleon doesnt get a Agility before it switches in. Empoleon also needs T-Spikes support to work properly.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

Right now you're 3x Water weak , 3x Fighting weak, 4x Ground weak, and have 2 Pokemon with 4x Ice weaknesses.

Replace Empoleon with Vaporeon. One less Ground/Fighting weakness to worry about, as well as a reliable Water immunity and team healer.

Vaporeon @Leftovers
Bold Nature
188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spd
-Surf
-HP Electric
-Wish
-Protect

Redo that Gliscor. It's all wrong. Gliscor has no business trying to defend against Special Attacks. If you really want a Gliscor that does well in the sand, use this:

Gliscor @Leftovers
Jolly Nature
Sand Veil
252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
-Earthquake
-Toxic
-Taunt
-Roost

ToxicStall Gliscor cripples all the bulky waters even Gyarados/Suicune with Rest. You can then switch to Vaporeon to stall them out.

Replace Flygon with Scizor. Scizor terrorizes all Ice types and is still an effective scout/revenge killer. You have plenty of Fire resists already.

Scizor @Choice Band
Adamant Nature
248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Technician
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Pursuit
-Superpower

Replace Jirachi's Scarf with an Expert Belt. You can bluff a Scarf, but you won't be stuck in one attack like your opponent expects.

I realised that, but I couldn't really think of anything to put. ;-;

I will attempt to take these suggestions into consideration. =|

Just to add on what the others have said, I would suggest expert belt jirachi

Jirachi@Expert Belt
Naive Nature
252Atk, 252Spe, 4Spa
-Iron Head
-Ice Punch
-Fire Punch
-Grass Knot

This guy lures and kills most physical walls that troubles your team, including Swampert, way better than HP Ice ever can. I feel like you don't need 2 revenge killers anyway.


Lol who uses quick claw Mamoswine anyways? :)
