    Hello this is my OU sandstorm team (or what i have so far) im not sure on my 6th pokemon so advice would be great!




    Tyranitar life orb
    sand stream
    Not sure on nature yet
    or evs either
    earthquake
    stone edge
    payback
    rocksmash


    Rotom-W Leftovers
    levitate
    Bold
    252 sdef 100 HP 100 Def 50 satk
    Hydro pump
    tbolt
    substitute
    confuse ray

    Ferrothorn leftovers
    iron barbs
    relaxed
    252 HP 252 Sdef
    stealth rock
    leech seed
    gyro ball
    pow whip

    Donphan leftovers
    sturdy
    adament
    252 atk 252 HP
    ice shard
    rapid spin
    EQ
    stone edge

    Mandibuzz leftovers
    overcoat
    impish
    252 HP 252 def
    whirlwind
    taunt
    toxic
    roost
     
    Life Orb just detracts from Tyranitar's good bulk, unless you're using Dragon Dance. It has enough bulk to set up Stealth Rock for the team:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Crunch
    -Fire Blast
    -Ice Beam/Superpower/Stone Edge
    Nature: Sassy/Hasty
    EVs: 252 HP/64 SAtk/192 SDef or 56 Atk/252 SAtk/200 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sand Stream

    Use Will-o-Wisp and Pain Split on Rotom-W over Subsitute and Confuse Ray. Sub in conjunction wears Rotom down over time and Confuse Ray is relatively unreliable. Use Modest and this EV spread: 112 HP/252 SAtk/144 Spe

    You already have Tyranitar to set up Stealth Rock for you, like I suggested, so I'd use Landorus over Ferrothorn to take advantage of Sandstorm:
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge/Rock Slide
    -U-turn
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Hammer Arm
    Nature: Naive/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    Skarmory outclasses Mandibuzz in OU; it can actually hit back with Brave Bird:
    -Brave Bird
    -Spikes
    -Roost
    -Whirlwind
    Nature: Impish/Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/232 Def/24 Spe or 252 HP/252 SDef/24 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sturdy

    I'd recommend Virizion in the last slot, since it has good synergy with Tyranitar; it can help against bulky Water Pokemon:
    -Calm Mind
    -Giga Drain
    -Focus Blast
    -Hidden Power (Ice)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Life Orb
     
    What about a wish jirachi in the last slot it could heal the team and not get damaged by sand.
