    Sandstorm Team v2.0



    Righto, this is the second version of my sandstorm team. It's done fairly well on shoddy, especially with the Scarftar lead. Please rate and help me with suggestions.



    [PokeCommunity.com] Sandstorm Team v.2

    Tyranitar@Choice Scarf
    Hasty
    200 Atk/56 Sp Atk/252 Spd
    Stone Edge
    Crunch
    Fire Blast
    Ice Beam


    A beastly lead. No joke. With his Scarf he generates 364 speed. This outruns most starters, notably Timid Gengar and unScarfed Nape. Weavile remains faster, but I've got a counter for him in Forretress, seen below. So basically, a sweeper lead thinks they're fast enough to get the KO, and boom. They're dead.

    Gliscor@Leftovers
    Jolly
    116 HP/136 Atk/40 Def/216 Spd
    Earthquake
    Ice Fang
    Swords Dance
    Roost


    Rather than going with the standard support Gliscor, I've got a Jolly SDer. With his already high defense and Sand Veil, he's basically guaranteed at least one SD when put in at the right time. From that, he can sweep from 306 speed, Roost when he needs to, and SD when he can. Without a fast Ice Beamer or powerful Ice Puncher with more that 306 speed, most teams would fall to this.

    Vaporeon@Leftovers
    Bold
    188 HP/252 Def/68 Sp Atk
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    HP Electric
    Wish


    A very handy pokemon indeed. Looks can be deceiving, as is the case with Vaporeon. The little demon is an excellent counter to Gyara and most Napes. Wish support and countering. What more could this guy do?


    [PokeCommunity.com] Sandstorm Team v.2

    Jirachi@Leftovers
    Impish
    252 HP/80 Def/176 Spd
    Substitute
    Calm Mind
    Psychic
    Thunderbolt/HP Fighting


    CM Jirachi. Because I lacked a special sweeper, I changed Jirachi into a CMer. Incredibly handy, especially with the resistances he has. The only problem I have is his fourth moveslot. On shoddy I have HP fighting as my choice, but there are plenty of instances where T-bolt would be better. What do you think?


    [PokeCommunity.com] Sandstorm Team v.2

    Forretress@Leftovers
    Bold
    252 HP/162 Atk/96 Def
    Spikes
    Rapid Spin
    Gyro Ball
    Explosion


    The Weavile Counter mentioned above. When Weavile comes in to Brick Break T-tar, Forretress comes out to set up Spikes and do what he can. Since Rest allows for opponent set ups, I opted for Explosion so if I'm about to die, I go boom and the opponent dies. Pretty simple.

    Snorlax@Leftovers
    Careful
    244 HP/28 Def/236 Sp Def
    Body Slam
    Earthquake
    Rest
    Sleep Talk


    Your standard RestTalker. Screwed against ghosts, but he can take on Heatran with ease.



    So this is v.2. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
