    I was trying to think up a good Sandstorm team, but it turns out that all the pokemon are slow, and so I thought I'd make it a Trick Room team as well

    Tyranitar@Life Orb
    Adament/Brave Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 152 Def, 106 HP
    -Crunch
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Elemental Fang/Dragon Claw/Outrage

    Bronzong@Leftovers
    Relaxed Nature
    EVs: 252 Def, 152 HP, 106 Atk
    -Gyro Ball
    -Explosion/Earthquake
    -Light Screen/Reflect
    -Trick Room

    Claydol@Leftovers
    Calm/Sassy Nature
    EVs: 252 Sp Def, 252 HP, 6 Sp Atk
    -Ice Beam/Charge Beam
    -Earth Power
    -Light Screen
    -Rapid Spin

    Rhyperior@Life Orb/Expert Belt
    Relaxed/Brave Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 152 HP, 106 Def
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Megahorn
    -Hammer Arm

    Steelix@Leftovers
    Relaxed Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Atk
    -Gyro Ball
    -Earthquake
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk

    Empoleon@Choice Specs
    Quiet Nature
    EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 152 HP, 106 Sp Def
    -Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Grass Knot
    -Flash Cannon

    So yeah, help is required, not sure on EVs and some movesets. Any help will be appriciated. And any garbage will be discarded
     
    Just one glance tells me that Swampert and/or Heracross can completely shred through that team.
     
    Hmm Grass Knot might be able to take Swampy down, but that's only if Empoleon strikes before Swampert does...

    As for Hera... I guess Psychic on Claydol/Bronzong might help in that department, but then speed plays priority as well

    But I guess having a weakness to an OU and BL pokemon ain't the best way to go about things... Hmm I'll have to think about a revamp
     
    A Trick Room team is hard to pull off, since it only lasts for 5 turns before having to be redone. So if your Trick Roomer dies, you're basically done for against a fast sweeper. I would put at least one faster Pokemon as backup.

    Also, Claydol makes a better physical wall than special wall. Being weak to Surf, Shadow Ball and Grass moves (commonly special attacks) really cuts his walling potential. His main role in most teams is to back up Skarmory and Blissey with his awesome resistance to Fighting moves. But he can't wall by himself.

    I would make Empoleon into a special wall, just to help Claydol out. Empoleon basically resists everything Claydol is weak to, and Claydol is immune to Empoleon's biggest threats: Electric, Ground and Fighting (resists this one, but resists it awesomely).
     
    there is only one person that has successfully did a trick room team and it's luckyCHARMs, talk to him about that.
     
    Am i rite in thinkin pretty much every pokemon in that team either is weak to grass or wud be if it werent for thweir 2nd type? against a sweeper like gallade with magical leaf this team wug go down quick, especially if the opponent had leftovers to counter the sandstorm

    ooh forgot about trick room lol, but im sure a good opponent cud work their way round, possibly by using a wall to endure while trick room is active
