.....Cause Ima bedrill-ing you all night.
Welcome to the RMT
This is a sandstorm team but is not as traditional as most sandstorm teams are
Many teams are often built around a single member of the team. I however have never built pokemon teams like this, I believe a team should work together in all situations and everyone should be covering everyone else's weakness. This team is not as "traditional" as other sandstorm teams right now because I use a couple different pokemon and do not use excadrill. This is the team, if you scroll down you can see all their descriptions and sets in detail, enjoy! Why no excadrill? Well everyone brings a counter to him now so I considered options and they have worked out.
Changes to the team will be in Red
The Team
The Lead
Tyra Banks
Tyranitar@Choice Band
Ability:Sandstream
Nature:Adamant
EVS:252HP/36Atk/220SpD
Moveset-
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Superpower
-Stone Edge
Tyranitar, almost always the lead for my team. Tyranitar's goal in the match is to hit things very hard and also have the durability to set up sandstorm when needed throughout the match. Tyranitar is also very effective at pursuit trapping psychic and ghost types. Superpower is chosen over aqua tail as it hits Ferrothorn harder than anything else, It also hits common steel types who think they can switch into tyranitar without problems amazingly hard. I am looking for an EV spread that will let Superpower 1HKO standard ferrothorn while remaining as bulky as possible. Choice Band tyranitar has some amazing power and not many people suspect choice band because he is such a versatile pokemon. I am considering fire punch over superpower possibly.

Landorus@Choice Scarf
Ability:Sand Force
Nature:Adamant
EVS:252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Moveset-
Earthquake
Stone Edge
U-Turn
Hammer Arm
This Landorus set was changed from a Rock Polish to a choice Scarf set. Choice scard landorus in the Sand is a very effective Revenge Killer and abuser of the sand because his primary STAB Earthquake gets a boost along with Stone Edge. Landorus can preform as a scout with the move U-Turn and give me switch advantage. Landorus can run many different sets and people are often forgetful of scarfed variants. Landorus has decent resistances and hits many pokemon hard when he needs to. Hammer Arm is chosen over outrage because I do not want to lock Landorus into outrage for death fodder after he has revenge killed what he is supposed to kill. Rotom-W loves to take the moves that Landorus does not.

Heatran is a very crucial member of my team. I could find few pokemon with what heatran could bring to the table. Heatran has the task of setting stealth rocks for my team and is very rarely my lead. Heatran is my counter to the pokemon who wall landorus, mostly steel types and also takes grass and ice attacks for the team exceptionally well. I use life orb on heatran as it gets a real boost in power, I do not see a reason to run HP ice on heatran so I run dragon pulse as it hits the dragon switch in's harder and fire blast can OHKO most gliscor's although I have not ran calcs. Heatran provides key resistances to the team and is one of the few pokemon with special attacks on the team which is greaty appreciated.

EVS:252HP/108Def/144Spe
Moveset-
-Hydro Pump
-Thunderbolt
-Will-O-Wisp
-Pain Split
Rotom-W has taken the place of vaporeon for several reasons. Wish support is not needed by the team and Rotom covers one of my weaknesses to Mamoswine really nicely. Rotom-W's natural bulk is really taken advantage of with this set while managing to still inflict some good damage. Will-O-Wisp is used over HP Fire or ice to cripple certain pokemon because Heatran is usually in charge of countering those types of pokemon. Pain Split is the only recovery move Rotom-W has besides leftovers. Rotom-W has only one weakness, grass which my team really does not have a problem handling. Rotom-W has added a great versatility to the team and more offensive presence. His main goal on the team is to sponge the Ice and Water attacks that the other members of the team don't like and pain split the damage off so he can do it again. The EV spread is kind of weird on this set but it seems to be working for what it is supposed to do. why is Rotom-W the team's mom, well Rotom takes the moves no one else wants to take and then after the battle, does the laundry.

Gliscor@Toxic Orb
Ability:Poison Heal
Nature:Impish
EVS:252HP/180Def/76SpD
Moveset-
-Swords Dance
-Protect
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang
Gliscor is my primary physical wall for this team and is a counter to a couple pokemon who can destroy this team. Gliscor counter's excadrill who otherwise kills this entire team, Gliscor also counters Conkeldurr who can also wreak havoc on this team. Landorus also resists fighting moves but he doesn't have the same bulk or recovery gliscor has to offer. Gliscor also has the job of killing certain variants of scizor, if they do not carry a fighting move heatran is the perfect counter, if they do gliscor is doing the job. Gliscor is named the counter because sometimes half the game is him countering the opponents pokemon. I use protect over taunt because it has saved my life with poison heal recovery several times and swords dance also gets gliscor some kills if the opportunity arises.

Ferrothorn@Leftovers
Ability:Iron Barbs
Nature:Relaxed
EVS:252HP/48Def/208SpD
Moveset-
-Power Whip
-Gyro Ball
-Leech Seed
-Spikes
Ferrothorn is the pokemon who connects this team and makes everything easier. Ferrothorn is often the pokemon taking electric moves or really any move he is neutral to. Ferrothorn is my primary counter to bulky water pokemon as he is the only pokemon who likes switching in on them. Starmie without ferrothorn is a huge annoyance to this team. Ferrothorn is also very good against enemy rain teams and certain sweepers, his only two weaknesses (Fire and Fighting) are already handled very nice by other members of the team. Setting up spikes when possible is very helpful to the team as vaporeon has access to roar and can rack up a lot of entry hazard damage. Ferrothorn's Gyro Ball's and Power Whip's actually pack a punch and wish support gives him more time to attack and lets him spend less time leech seeding.

Thank you for reading this RMT, I would highly appreciate any advice you have to offer this team. be it a new member or moveset.
+1 If you get Heatran name reference, will add a team building process if this RMT gets a decent number of responses. Currently this team has no huge weaknesses I can see but Bronzong and Mixape are currently annoying to the team.
