(coundnt find the toxapex sprite so rip) This is some sand balance i´ve been using lately. I decided to add hippo instead of ttar because I wanted sand up for more turns (and because smooth rock ttar sucks) with hippo I added excadrill obviously,being him a staple on sand teams. I decided to add sd mega chomp to help against my matchup against stall and ceelestela balance; I then added tnagrowth, for a reliable counter to koko, and toxapex to setup toxic spikes, which excadrill appreciates. weavile was added as a pursuit trapper, and also help my team agaosnt bulky grasses
Weavile @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pursuit
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off
-This thing does its job amazingly well. It helps a lot against offense, since sand isn’t always going to be up, and it practically gets a kill every game; it can even help by revenging setup mons like minior, which exca or toxapex cannot deal with.
Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 244 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Knock Off
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Earthquake
-tangrowth is a criminally underrated wall. It counters so much with a mono grass typing, its scary. It serves as a reliable ground resist, and counters lots of offensive threats like ash Gren, Koko, mega Gyarados, Latios, and Kingdra. Basically a god send for my team.
Hippowdon @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 128 Def / 124 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Slack Off
-hippo is the heart of my team. Simply put. This mon checks almost all physical threats in the tier, such as mega pinsir, zard x,lando, mega metagross, etc and also is a hard stop to koko (if it happens to have brave bird instead of grass knot.) I decided to add toxic instead of roar because I can worn down lando turn 1, which both mega chomp and Excadrill appreciate.
Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
-excadrill is the perfect sand mon. it does so much, such as being one of the most fearsome late game sweepers, being also a amazing wallbreaker, and on the top of it, it has a blazing 500 speed under sand, making it a complete offensive mon.
grape (Toxapex) @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Recover
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Haze
-if excadrill is the complete offensive mon, then toxapex is the complete support mon. it has a amazing typing, access to hazards, defeats basically almost all setup mons with haze, and has both regen and reliable recovery.
Garchomp-Mega @ Garchompite
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Fang
-Mega chomp is a amazing wallbreaker under sand. Nothing switches in fire/ground/grass. You basically have to either: have fully phydef skarm on your team, or just sack something when against this monster of a mon.
Anyways guys, hope yall liked the team. Any tips would be appreaciated. http://pastebin.com/1KrLYxCN <----- link to the team
