Yay evilcheese is here. I haven't built a team in a while. Actually for a long time. I tested this team for a while and it has done very good (either that or the people i battled weren't very good). Right now it's 3 out of 3. In fact it's so good I didn't even use all of the pokemon yet.

Sandy (Hippowdon) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Ice Fang
- Slack Off

Starts everything up with sandstorm. My physical wall
---
you = x_x (Tyranitar) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/68 Spd/188 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

This actually runs very good. this is the first time i've used this set and it's awsome. also my back up sand streamer. meh mixed sweeper.
---
Ball & In (Garchomp) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang

Thank god he is unbanned. my favorite sweeper.

Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Stealth Rock

Ignore the nickname xD. If you read the intro this is the pokemon i have not yet used. i don't know if this is good with hippowadan. might be a baton passer? my physical wall.

Plant Ballin (Cradily) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Suction Cups
EVs: 252 HP/164 Def/92 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

I dislike the usage of Cradily altogether. It gets Toxic stalled by too many things. If you're going to use it, use Rest, or just use Regirock:

Regirock @ Leftovers
Careful
252 HP, 252 SpD, 6 Att
Hammer Arm/Earthquake
Stone Edge
Rest
Sleep Talk

This thing isn't doomed by Toxic since it absorbs status. If you want a more defensive type, try out the Curse set:

Regirock @ Leftovers
Careful
252 HP, 252 SpD, 6 Att
Curse
Stone Edge
Earthquake/Fire Punch
Ice Punch/Explosion/Rest

I highly reccomend using Rest, since Regirock makes a fantastic wall.

I noticed you don't have a cleric/rest talker. Status will kill you. >_<

You do realize not ALL of the members of a SS team have to resist Sandstorm, right? That mentality is just silly. Blissey would fit nicely over Cradily since it takes no damage since Lefties cancels out SS.

Cradily is so meh...

This team is insanely weak to any sort of rain dance and even some sunny day teams. Stuff like Mixed Kingdra will easily run right through you.

Itachi is right - status just rapes this team. I'd go Snorlax >>> Cradily, who is a better wall that isn't totally pathetic at doing damage and it also absorbs status. The entire team doesn't need to be SS resistant as KT said...there's no point. Honestly the team is really easy to wall (yeah Scarfchomp isn't so great...)

Also Hippowdon/Gliscor don't work well together. Use Weezing over Gliscor or something...

In case you're intested, in the area of weakneses Gyarados is a big one. All of the typing similarities make for some big defense issues honestly. Even stuff like Torterra causes pain.
