Sandstorm Team
This is for shoddy, suspect ladder, assuming Garchomp will soon be Uber, Garchamp isn't a part of this team. If Garchomp doesn't go Uber, then that's a different story, let's just not bring him up in suggestions.
Funny thing, I make this team, after not having seen it in ANY battle for months, and when I first try it out, I face a rain dance team, then a sandstorm team, and I thought weather effects weren't being used so much anymore. http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/hippowdon.png [email protected] leftovers Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP, 140 Sp. def. , 118 def Moves: 1.Stealth Rock 2.Ice Fang 3.Earthqauke 4. Slack off http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/gliscor.png Gliscor @ leftovers Nature: impish Ability: sand veil EVs: 252 Def, 252 HP, 4 Atk Moves: 1.Fire Fang 2.Thunderfang 3.Toxic 4.Roost http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/tentacruel.png Tentacruel @ leftovers Nature: Calm Ability:Clear body EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp.def., 3 Sp.atk Moves: 1.Rapid Spin 2.Ice Bea, 3.Surf 4.Sludge Bomb http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/tyranitar.png Tyranitar @ leftovers Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP Moves: 1.Earthquake 2.Crunch 3.Dragon Dance 4.Stone Edge http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/lucario.png Lucario @ life orb Nature: timid Ability: steadfast EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 hp Moves: 1.Aura Sphere 2.Dragon Pulse 3.Dark Pulse 4.Psychic http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh168/Ben_king18/pokemon/dragonite.png Dragonite @ leftovers Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 152 Speed, 100 HP Moves: 1.Firepunch 2.Thunderpunch 3.Outrage 4.Brick Break This is how it works: Hippowdon starts the sandstorm, gets stealth rock in, hold out as long as it can. Switch to Tentacruel or Gliscor, at the sight of a special/ physical sweeper, respectively. Gliscor poisons with toxic, the sandstorm, the poison and stealth rock, should be able to take a chunk out. (Originally had toxic spikes on tentacruel, but then saw I needed a water move somewhere). I prefered tentacruel over forretress, to not add another fire weakness, and to deal with grass and ground types easier. Then there's tyrannitar, who can wipp up another sandstorm, if another weather effect is activated (whoich seems to happen a lot). Lucario as a special sweeper, and Dragonite as a physical sweeper, the both of them can hanlde various types, also Dragonite resists grass and water, which is a great help. |
your team needs another ice move with those never ending dragons
give tentacruel ice beam over confuse ray tyranitar need stone edge over outrage since it will get stab lucario isnt weak to fighting +psychic coverage is terrible try vaccume wave or hidden power of your choice Edit:sorry about that frgot+it isnt 100% certain garchomps band is it? |

I only tried out this team last night, late, and never ran a sandstorm team. And I came to the conclusion, that Tentacruel does need ice beam (which I though unnecessary as Garchomp is getting banned) . I will be switching outrage with stone edge, but not as much for the STAB (because outrage is powerful enough + more accuraccy), but because of the teams need of switching and the need to deal with Zapdos. |

Just something to keep in mind, but if you are going to forgo Outrage for a zapdos counter then Mence's faster and stronger Stone Edges will be of more use to you. |

[email protected] Choice Scarf Modest Nature 236 Speed/ 252 Sp. Atk./ 20 HP Fire Blast HP Ice Explosion Earth power This is the standard Scarftran set. Fire Blast for STAB, Hp Ice for Chompy and the other dragons, Explosion to engshplode on opponents that can wall you(aka Bliss), and Earth Power for coverage. Also, this team is DD Gyara LO carrying earthquake weak. You could try filling in Scarf Dos>> Tar to help with that. |

Outrage on Tyranitar is a waste. Stone Edge is stronger after STAB (150)
Anyway, for that Lucario, I'd go SpecsLuke >>>> That abominal creature. Lucario @ Choice Specs Modest 252 SpA/252 Spe/6 HP Focus Blast/Aura Sphere Vacuum Wave HP Ice/Dragon Pulse Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse |
