Sand Storm Team

vansonbee

My last time I played Pokemon was Plat, so bare with me on the new pokemons. I usually start off with Tyranitar, to either kill their soft lead or set-up Rocks.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers - I try to keep him alive, because there so many weather switchers out there.
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Fire Blast

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers - She a bit slow, might go for Celebi and the metal one instead.
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 HP
Calm Nature
- Seismic Toss
- Protect
- Wish
- Toxic

Forretress @ Leftovers - difficult to set spikes, just here to block physical attacks and suprise monstesr with my hidden power. I hate that new steel/grass monster.
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature
- Volt Switch
- Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Heatran @ Choice Scarf - Sometime a lead, it surprise a few people.
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature
- Overheat
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Flamethrower

Mamoswine @ Life Orb - sweeps mid game
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Superpower

Terrakion @ Choice Band - late sweeper, when I took out the faster one's
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
- Quick Attack
 
Ok, there's one thing about this team that is absolutely horrible. Every single pokemon except Forretress is weak to Fighting type attacks. That means Breloom, Conkledurr, Toxicroak- anything carrying a fighting move can smash holes in this team too large to recover from. Seriously, you'll have to replace a lot of your team to make it more balanced.

Yes, he is quite correct. You absolutely need a Psychic Type to reliably take on Fighting Types. I suggest something like Alakazam, Reuniclus, or one of the Latis. It's worthwhile to note that the former two are not affected by Sandstorm.

You might also want to put Jellicient on your team instead of Blissey. She spinblocks, has good special bulk like Blissey, but, unlike Blissey, has good Dual STABS. I would use a Specially Defensive set, with Scald, Shadow Ball, Recover, and Will-O-Wisp. 252 HP/36 Def/220 SpD (special defense). Leftovers and a Calm Nature.

Hope I helped.
 
Oh, and for priority, instead of Mammoswine, consider Azumarill. With a Choice Band and STAB Aqua Jet, she can seriously fuck up big threats to your team like Terrakion and Landorus, as well as Volcarona.
