Haxorus- 252 Atk./252 Spd./4 Def.
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Adamant

Dragon Dance
Outrage
Brick Break
Earthquake

This guy's my attack sweeper. He has great type coverage with Earthquake and Brick Break. Outrage gets a STAB, and when I can set it up, Dragon Dance is invaluable. The main problems that I've been running into with him are Volcarona (Outspeeding me), and Mamoswine (Ice Shard).

Chandelure- 6 HP/252 Sp. Atk./252 Sp. Def.
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Quirky

Shadow Ball
Flamethrower
Psychic
Energy Ball

This guy is a work in progress. I will soon IV and Nature breed him, but for now, he's my placeholder. The current Variant Has max IV's in Sp. Atk, and 30 in Sp. Def., but all of it's other stats are really low.

Tyranitar- 252 HP/66 Sp. Atk./192 Sp. Def.
Item: Chopple Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Sassy

Crunch
Fire Blast
Stealth Rock
Ice Beam

This guy is also somewhat of a revolving door. I'm not quite sure as to where to put him, and who to pair him with. Suggestions would be very welcome!

Latios- 6 HP/252 Sp. Atk./252 Spd.
Item: Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid

Dragon Pulse
Surf
Hidden Power (Fire)
Psyschock

This guy is one of the big anchors on my team. He can take fire type moves by switching out with Ferrothorn, and fighting type moves as well as being stronger defensively then Haxorus. He outspeeds most threats to my team, but doesn't have the same attacking force as Haxorus.

Ferrothorn- 128 HP/252 Def./130 Sp. Def.
Item: Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Relaxed

Curse
Protect
Power Whip
Gyro Ball

This guy is my main wall. Curse powers up Gyro Ball, while rasing his (already massive) defense. Latios can cover his fire and fighting weaknesses, and protect allows a good chance at scouting out wether a pokemon has a fire type move.

The final spot is up in thin air, suggestions would be appreciated
 
What are you striving for a sand team? A hyper-offense, a bulky offense, a stall team? A balanced? Always have that in mind, I really want to help as when I was a beginner, people did not help me and it was really frustrating

To begin with you have no entry hazards, you could use your Ferrothorn to lay hazards for you. Since you are using the CurseBall set I do not want to change it. Use Stealth Rock instead of Power Whip. The IV's should run more to the Specially Defensive side, since Curse will do the trick, first of all have 252 HP and 252 SpD and the FINAL 4 (should be 6 but if you do the math the remainder two won't add any points to any stat) in Atk.

Haxorus looks fine, you might want some support for him though something like a SubPassing Vaporeon or a Dual Screen Espeon in your 6th slot. Your team is not done yet, and I believe they will close the thread, if you want help message me through the forum, btw do you play on an R4, Acekard or anything of the type, or do you play in the actual Pokemon cartridge?

I'm trying to go for a quick, offensive team that can stall (Ferrothorn) when needed (For Random Matchup- singles). I'll definetly have to look into a Vaporeon w/baton Pass, It'll allow me to setup my Haxorus much eaiser. A double Screener (Posibly Bronzong) might work well. The way I've got it going right now, Ferrothorn is working well w/Power Whip (Good at getting at bulky Waters. Thanks for the advice, it's well received!
 
You really need to decide on what type of team you're wanting to run. Also, it's against forum rules to post incomplete teams.
 
You might consider new nature and EVs for Chandelure. Either go bulky with max health and special attack, modest and choice specs OR scarf where EVs should go into speed and special attack, with modest or timid.
 
closing until sufficient changes have been made. contact me or mostwanted through pm once you have more material to include in this thread.
