My OU Trick Room Team ( aka SandBox)
The main goal of this Sandbox team is to eliminate leftovers while I have magic guard users which both can apply trick room and switch in without taking extra damage. The majority of my team is EV trained in HP and Attack or Special Attack and they have decent Defenses and Special Defenses to be able to take draco meteors from Non-specs Latios. I carry a ferrothorn for dragons mostly and my team provides absolute coverage over ferrothorn‘s weaknesses. I also use the magic guard users to take status conditions such as burn.
Here are the pokemon in use. Detailed description will be below the list of pokemon. Please Rate J
