Hello people, welcome to another one of my rate my team threads.
This time, I bring to you a Sand Stall OU team, with the challenge of having 3 ground types, so don't comment about that. :P
Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Ice Fang
Originally, when I was deciding through Tyranitar and Hippowdon as a weather starter, I went for Tyranitar. However, I found that it didn't exactly fit my needs. This is pretty much the standard Hippowdon set, with Stealth Rock and Slack Off. Ice Fang takes care of Dragons easily, and Earthquake takes care of pesky Pokemon such as Terrakion or Ferrothorn.
Slowbro (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Psychic
- Slack Off
- Thunder Wave
Another standard set, rocky helmet for those people who actually attempt U-Turn on Slowbro. Scald, Psychic and Thunderwave make great coverage, and Thunderwave will make a sweeper have a very good time against this time.
Slowbro can even take down Scizor, with T-Wave and Rocky Helmet + Slack Off stall, since most people will expect Slowbro to have leftovers.
Heatran (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SDef / 8 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power
- Protect
- Will-O-Wisp
Heatran is pretty much what pulls this entire team together, takes care of ice, grass, fire, and sometimes even water, it completely destroys Jirachi, and can use Will-O-Wisp on switch ins to cripple pokemon dangerous to Heatran.
Landorus (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Landorus is my check to many opposing threats to this team, and covers the massive weaknesses to this team. Since all the Pokemon in this team are very slow, Landorus having a choice scarf is a very easy choice to have on the team.
The set checks a huge portion of the OU tier.
Gastrodon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 212 HP / 44 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Recover
A simple stall set, Recover + Toxic to stall the opponent out, and ice beam and Earth Power for coverage. Toxic can completely obliterate a team, and Earth Power kills Jirachi and Fire types.
Other than that, Gastrodon just protects the team from weaknesses that would otherwise tear huge holes into my entire team.
Amoonguss (F) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 224 HP / 184 Def / 28 SAtk / 72 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog
- Stun Spore
- Hidden Power [Ice]
As part of the regenerator core, comes Amoonguss.
Clear Smog takes care of sweeping threats, and Stun Spore can cripple Pokemon, really Giga Drain and HP Ice won't be used much unless I'm in real trouble, as Amoonguss is not very reliable with it's Special Attack.
Remember, I MUST have 3 ground type Pokemon.
