OU Sand Team (RMT)

Hey guys! This is gonna be my first RMT ever. And just a little side note, I'm new to the competitive battling scene but not new to pokemon :P. So if you notice any mistakes or anything tell me and I will fix it immediately. Here we go!



Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 HP / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Pursuit
- Crunch
- Stone Edge

I picked Tyranitar for very obvious reasons. Very good bulk and attack plus the ability Sand Stream. Stealth Rock for Hazards, Pursuit for switch-ins, Crunch for some nice STAB and Stone Edge for coverage.



Heatran @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Quiet Nature
- Protect
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Ice

I picked Heatran because he could be a very good lead. Protect for just blocking attacks and predicting EQs. Magma Storm for nice damage and traps the opponent. Earth Power just for coverage. Hidden Power Ice for Dragons and Ground types.



Donphan @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Brave Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Seed Bomb
- Rapid Spin

I picked Donphan because... I CAN. He looks epic plus he has access to some sweet moves. Ice Shard for coverage and priority, EQ for STAB and for nice damage, Seed Bomb for major coverage and Rapid Spin for removing entry hazards.



Garchomp @ Life Orb
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance

I picked Garchomp cause this guy is speedy and powerful. Outrage for sweeping, EQ for STAB, Fire Fang for coverage and Swords Dance to just make him even more OP.


(Couldn't find Landorus-Therian GIF)

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Landorus-Therian is another favorite of mines. He has high attack and nice bulk from stats overall and even more from his ability, Intimidate. EQ just for STAB, U-Turn for super-effective damage or to switch, Stone Edge for coverage and HP Ice for Dragons.



Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball

This set for Alakazam has worked me wonders. Magic Guard is to protect him from Sandstorm. Calm Mind to power up your moves and with the help of the Focus Sash, you would at least get 1 CM up. Psychic For STAB, Focus Blast for coverage and Shadow Ball for coverage as well.

Thx guys for reading through the whole thing xD! I hope you like my setup for a Sand Team and hopefully I will see you guys later ;D!
 
If Donphan is going to not be a SR+RS lead, I recommend removing it for another sweeper/spinner.

Possibly:

Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 8 SDef / 248 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Toxic
- Knock Off / Acid Spray

Physical investment gives at least 1 Physical wall on your team, also a good check to Cloyster, which your team is weak to.

Still rapid spins and scares away special attackers without a supereffective move, as it is usually a special wall

Hope I helped :D
