Tyranitar (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Earthquake
---
One of my favorite pokes, a DD T-Tar. Its bulky as hell and with a few DD's It can sweep pretty much anything.

Garchomp (F) @ Yache Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Outrage
- Fire Fang
---
This build is the reason their thinking of making Chompy Uber, so I thought I'd add it. Especially since this is a sandstorm team.
Metagross @ Expert Belt
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 244 HP/252 Atk/14 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Magnet Rise
- Ice Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Thunderpunch
---
Another team favorite. With a magnet rise and a general lack of good fire pokemon in the metagame, this guy only fears ScarfTran and a mixape.
Gengar (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
---
One of my favorite revenge killers. This guy will easily sweep a DD Gyarados, and when I think they'll switch, Hypnosis is a good choice.
Lucario (F) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Vacuum Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Hidden Power [Ice]
---
My favorite sweeper, I put the Expert Belt on him as a surprise. People think I'm spec'd and switch in a ghost and BAM hit with a dark pulse.
Deoxys-e @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 160 HP/112 Spd/236 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Superpower
---
Another good one they're thinking of getting rid of, so I thought I'd add him as well. Another good sweeper.

Alright, that's fine. However, for the DD Variant without any EVs for defenses, consider Life Orb to give much more sting.

Just know not to use Outrage too early, and you'll be fine.


Metagross @ Expert Belt/Choice Band

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Magnet Rise/Meteor Mash
- Ice Punch
- Bullet Punch/Earthquake

Even on something like Metagross, Magnet Rise doesn't pose much of a good choice. You can drop it for Meteor Mash and slap on a Choice Band. You could also go with Agiligross with some EV fixing.


Gengar (F) @ Life Orb

Sweep a DD Gyarados??? Gyarados is quicker then Gengar after a Dragon Dance these days. However, set looks good enough.


Lucario (F) @ Expert Belt/Choice Specs
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Vacuum Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Hidden Power [Ice]

This is SpecsLuke without the Specs. Just know you can't 2HKO Blissey unless you used Focus Blast, which I think even that requires Specs.


Deoxys-e @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 160 HP/112 Spd/236 SAtk

- Superpower

Fair enough; don't be an idiot with this thing and Superpower Blissey unless it's coming in, seeing as they'll just Softboil off the damage when you use it, cutting away at your health.


Lack of a sturdy fighting resist means something like SD or CBLuke will give you a lot of problems. Meta would probably love getting Earthquake because unless you do that, your Metagross is walled by Lucario...which is sad really. Fortunately, that's all Lucario can switch in against, so if you fix that gap, then you're fine since it'll have to resort to revenging.

Very offensive team, just like most of the teams today.
