Sandstorm Team - Help Needed!

[ultradarkrai]

I dont know about really competitive teams like this because i just use whatever Pokemon i damn well feel like, but..... WHY DONT ANY OF THEM KNOW SANDSTORM unless one of them has an ability that trigger a sand storm

EDIT: oh hippowdon has Sand Stream but instead of ice fang you should use Dig.

Wow, thats the most unhelpful post I think I've evr seen at PC ever. Dig is a terrible move and i dont see how the rest of that post is beneficial to the poster

EDIT: VacuumWave>>>FlashCannon on lucario, steel offers terrible coverage. Priority ftw, it works wonders on pokes like weavile

Read the stickies before posting, as you need to have proper knowledge. Thanks.

I'll just quote from the sticky:

They have decent power, and they can avoid the opponents attack for once. Sounds neat, right? If you said no, you're not getting a cookie this time, but you are still right. Remember that the opponent carries defensive moves too. So if you used Fly / Dig / Dive on the same turn they chose to use defense, you just gave them a free turn! Not to mention that the opponent can use Protect on the turn you attack. So Fly, Dig, or Dive should nevar (xD) be used.

Oh noez!

Anyways, EQ > Dig.

Dig? Ice Fang walks all over that horrible move.

Eww, Chomp has Suckage sp.att, and Draco meteor should never be used on any chomp set apart from Chain Chomp, which this quite clearly isnt. Dragon Claw or Outrage please on CB set.

Choice Band powers up physical attacks btw, not special.
