  • 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

    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.
