XY OU Trapped In the Sandstorm(Peaked 1845) Help is wanted on improvement

[Terry24]

Hello everyone this is my 2nd RMT for a Sand offensive team. The reason i built this team because I wanted a sand offense team that counter most if not all the weaknesses of my last one. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/my-zard-y-sand-offensive-team-peaked-1843.3515766/#post-5688638. Truthfully this team is very weird to me and im still surpised that i got this high with it. A friend gave me advice to relax when using this team and after that I was able to get this far after he said that. Any Positive criticism and opinions about the team is very much appreciated and welcomed. Also any Ideas for OU HO Teams you would like to give me is also appreciated(No shitty gimmicks)

Heres a song to listen to while u read this RMT :

Jessie (Wobbuffet) (F) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 28 HP / 232 Def / 248 SpD
Bold Nature
- Encore
- Safeguard
- Counter
- Mirror Coat

Role: Lead, Support, Anti Lead

Truthfully the reason why Wobbufet is on the team because I just really wanted to use it.
It helps me kill a poke when my opponent leads against scarf Lando-T. Lum berry is on it is too help counter lead breloom. mostly like the first move from lead breloom is spore so i safeguard + lum berry forces it to attack and then u can use counter.



Robin (Scizor-Mega) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 116 Def / 4 SpD / 136 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bug Bite
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance

Role: Set up Sweeper

Offensive SD mega scisor is a set i really wanted to use. After a swords dance this scizor can do massive damage if not OK pokes like ferrothorn, slowbro, standard defensive rotom-w, magic guard defensieclefable, chansey etc... This scizor usually helps me against most stall pokes after it sets up an SD. Its Speed evs is to help outspeed standard defensive rotom-w and standard SR heatran. The defense evs is to helpme set up against scarf landorus-t.



Reptar (Tyranitar) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Stealth Rock

Role: Weather starter, Hazard setter

This is the standard Ttar set i like using in general. i prefer special ttar because it helps against pokes like gliscor, scizor, ferrothorn, skarmory and bulky lando-t that doesnt outspeed me. Also because i swear ttar has a sign on it that says please will o wisp me. SO i dont like using the standard physical set or mix set because of that. Thereason why it has a focus sash is to help perseve the sand by giving him the ability to switch in an out whenever i need more sand support for excadrill.

Grand Mole (Excadrill) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake

Role: Weather Sweeper

This Excadrill is pretty much the standard set for sand offense. Kinda self explanatory.
I chose jolly nature because I hate adamant speed ties and life orb for my damage. I dont use air balloon because i already have 2 ground type immunites



Baal (Thundurus) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Superpower
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder Wave

Role: Mix sweeper, Support

This Thundurus set is one I really love. Most hes on the team to deal with Mega Gyarados. If it cant kill it because it already dragon dance'd Prio thunder wave helps me able to revenge kill it. Superpower does help me 2HKO Chansey. Also helps against bird core along with Excadrill in the sand. Also thundurus can take a adamant choice bandedpro brave bird from talonflame. 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 157-186 (52.5 - 62.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO



Heero (Latios) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Trick
- Ice Beam
- Psyshock
- Draco Meteor

Role: Trick user. Revenge Killer

Latios is my favorite Legendary of all time. I love using him The reason why he's the trixk scarf let of this team is because I really wanted a check to scarf Lando T. Trick also helps me against stall and set up pokes by locking it into that move. Ths latios also really helps me against baton pass teams as seen in few of the replays below.

Hey there Terry24, nice team there. First of all you might want to replace ice beam for surf on latios, it checks lando just like you want and can even put dents in heatran etc. Draco Meteor can take care of other dragon types and does overall better damage to grass types and flying types, not that you're gonna do a lot with ice beam unless their defenses are weak.

Give t-tar pursuit over dark pulse, it traps latis and other things or crunch it will hit harder.

Surprised you got that high :o Any proof? Otherwise the team seems fairly decent.

Hi Terry, nice team.

I saw your team and the first thing I noticed is the weak to Bisharp/Crawdaunt, i have a purpose for your team.
U-Turn on Scizor, U-turn give you momentum for trap with Wobbufett, and i give to scizor 176 EVs in Spe, with that EVs it can outspeed Jolly max Crawduant and can beat it with u-turn, the second change is Hawlucha>Latios, why that ? Mew is a big threath of your team and Hawlucha can sub on it and can take a knock off, so it can use sword dance and clean the game, also, it have sinergy with u-turn zor because it can enter in the right moment for stapupping like in a u-turn of scizor on heatran.

Here the set.

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Def / 176 Spe
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Roost
- Swords Dance

With that spread can outspeed jollycrawduant, can tank bisharp easily and can clean with bpunch + sd, u-turn give you momuntem, in some cases, for your team the momentum is very important because you need to trap any annoying pokemon with wobbufett.

Hawlucha @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Acrobatics
- Swords Dance
- Substitute

Mew is a big threath for your team and this Hawlucha can beat it easily, sub on wow and SD easily, have sinergy with scizor and is the late game cleaner.

Hope I helped, bye.

I personally do not like Sand Rush Excadrill without Smooth Rock Tyranitar. Have you used Smooth Rock and found Focus Sash was better for your team?

Wobbuffet is cool though, it is so underrated.

Will give more input later.

 

[Terry24]

I actually havent used smooth rock on Tyranitar before which this team. Focus sash is my personal choice because 1. I believe Tyranitar is pretty fragile and 2. It helps me preserve the sand more because im able to switch it in and out when I need extra weather. Also It helps as death fodder so i can get a free switch in when needed and extra 5 turns of weather. But ill try using smooth rock later when play testing to see if the changes really help. Thank you

In no way is Tyranitar highly fragile. 100 / 110 / 100 defenses is solid, especially since Tyranitar has a 1.5 Special Defense boost under sand (Rock TYping). A Smooth Rock Tyranitar usually invests in physical defense and looks like this:

Smooth Rock Tar

Reptar (Tyranitar) @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam / Pursuit
