Skarmory will love switching into Tyranitar once it knows you're all physical, and that gives you a chance to paralyze it.

Now, your two sand sweepers have a much easier time with Skarmory. Excadrill, for one, is able to get past a paralyzed Skarmory more often than not (54% of the time to be exact), if you carry Life Orb. +2 Adamant Life Orb Rock Slide 2HKOes phycially defensive Skarmory after Stealth Rock, unless it carries Leftovers, in which case Chandelure can trap it anyway. Now, if Rock Slide flinches the first use, or Skarmory is fully paralyzed, Excadrill can sweep right through Skarmory, and then their whole team.

And for Garchomp, this is rather obvious. Sand Veil + Thunder Wave means a 100% accurate attack, which in this case is Whirlwind or Brave Bird, only has a 60% chance of hitting, which makes fishing for a Sub that much easier.

Anyways, solid team, good luck.

I think I will consider using Thunder Wave; at least Skamory can't always phaze me out when it fully paralyzes.

A few nitpicks I would use (though I would never use Chandelure, such a bs mon') if I utilized the team would be to try out Overheat on Chandelure instead of Flamethrower, since you're going to be switching out after trapping something anyways, so I don't see why Flamethrower is in any way better. I would also try out Frustration instead of Rock Slide on Excadrill, since it allows you to hit Rotom-W hard who seems to be a threat due to the major Water weakness and lack of a resist. I hate SashTar since it's such a waste in my opinion, but I have long before told you that and you declined my advice, so be it. Also, I would try out Bulk Up instead of Swords Dance on Blaziken, and Baton Pass to pass off boosts to either Excadrill or Garchomp since that's broken. With this in mind, I'd use Lum Berry on Garchomp instead of Salac Berry, and Outrage instead of Dragon Claw, for power! Also, you're desperately weak to Rain and Keldeo, so keep that in mind.

Love you! <3

I have a Baton Pass Blaziken on a different Garchomp team, but will consider Outrage or the standard Yache (maybe Haban x) berry set. I'm keen on trying Bulk Up on that team though, darling. Frustration/Brick Break/X-Scissor doesn't appeal to me in Dream World when I can rely on QuakeSlide and Chandelure together.

I want to use my beloved ScarfTar set as it seems useful for the first OHKO, but if they can capitalize on resisting the move you're locked into, this isn't the type of team that can switch around TOO often.

Did I forget to mention I had no Water resistance? I was thinking that when I was writing this up lol.
