A Sandstorm RMT.

[B1001]

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Careful, 252 HP/42 Attack/216 Sp. Def
Sandstream

-Stone Edge
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Earthquake

----
Special Defensive CBTar. Survives Focus Blast from Life Orb Gengar and Aura Sphere from a Nasty Plotted Togekiss. Will survive a Scarfchomp's EQ for what it's worth while still having good attacking power. Moves listed are standard, Pursuit for any fleeing Starmie/Azelf/Cresselia/Celebi, and some Gengar.
----

Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Adamant, 252 Attack/240 Speed/16 HP
Sand Veil

-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Fang

----
The obligatory Garchomp of this SS team. Yache Berry let's it survive the ice attack that would otherwise stop him, and the many things that bank on that ice attack to kill Garchomp will be subject to another SD or a most likely KO. Fire Fang for a 2HKO on Skarmory and Bronzong(IIRC) after a Swords Dance.
----

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Impish, 252 HP/252 Def/6 Atk
Keen Eye

-Stealth Rock
-Brave Bird
-Roar
-Roost

----
Standard. Mostly included because of the need for a phazer and something to defend against the ever-popular SD Chomp.
----

Starmie @ Leftovers
Bold, 252 HP/192 Def/18 Speed/48 Sp Def
Natural Cure

----
Bulky Starmie. With the EV Spread, it is 2HKO'ed by Adamant Max Attack Gyarados's Stone Edge/Earthquake AFTER a Dragon Dance, and that variant is rare. Moves are for coverage, though I might want Rapid Spin. Reaches 270 Speed incase it ever needs to finish off a CB Hera, though I might reallocate them to a defense.
----

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Modest, 252 Sp Atk/236 Speed/22 HP
Flash Fire

-Fire Blast
-HP Ice
-Earth Power
-Dark Pulse/Explosion

----
Scarf Heatran. EV's outspeed and KO max speed Dugtrio. Dark Pulse helps against Starmie and Cresselia, but I may want Explosion for Blissey.
----

Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant, 252 Atk/252 Speed/6 HP
Steadfast

-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Extremespeed
-Crunch

----
Swords Dance Cario. Pretty standard, not much to be said here. Set and sweep if it gets the chance, and good damage otherwise.
----



That's the team. Looking for suggestions, comments welcome.

That's the team. Looking for suggestions, comments welcome.

Your team has massive problem with Mamoswine, Gengar. Your team can't counter Gengar at all since he have no problem sweeping your entire team. Moreover, Mamoswine kill your Tyranitar, Garchomp, Lucario, Heatran. Infernape, Gyarados, Electvire, and ironically other Lucario is also your team's massive problem. Yes, your team have Yache Berry Garchomp who will OHKO Gengar back but if it just use Hypnosis?? Not only it make you switch and he will come back later and slap your entire team. pretty badly. Cresselia can solve problem of all your team's threat except Gengar. You can put Metagross and Cresselia in your team. But again Gengar can just Hypnosis Metagross switch-in and cripple them. Having Weavile as your team's revenge killer helps to since it can counter all Dragon including Chain Chomp which is your team's another threat, Mamoswine, Gengar, Tyranitar, Lucario. but not solve the problem of Electvire, Gyarados, Infernape. Yes your team have Starmie but he can cripple 4 of your team.

Noted. I may consider Weavile, but I'm not sure who he should be replaced with.

Looking for more opinions.

Basically everything he about said problem pokemon was true. The fixes were not. The only things that Weavile will kill are Gengar and an Outraging Dragons. Cresselia, however will help this team out alot. This team has way too many glass cannons and gets raped by pretty much any good offensive pokemon. It is also ass slow.

I seriously don't see why you don't max speed on Garchomp. It is the most overused pokemon in the game and you do not want to be outsped by an opposing Garchomp. If you must keep those HP EV's then take them from attack.

Is there a reason why Starmie has no moves?

Whirlwind>Roar on Skarm because it is not blocked by Soundproof.

Cress>Luke/Chomp depending on which you want to be your focus. There's no need for 2 SDers on one team. If you do that you are left with Specs Luke and Gengar weaks. Unfortunately I can't think of one Pokemon that counters both.

Missing something? lol:kongler::happybrain:

Don't you think your team would lose to another Garchomp of the EXACT same kind? Actually they could just not even boost and still end up probably sweeping.

Actually if you think about it, your team is 100% weak to another team of the exact same kind. Tyranitar locks itself in, a Lucario comes out, could either SD or CC right away, either killing something slower coming in, or killing Heatran on the straight switch. It's just kind of -weird.-

What I'll try to do here is to add Gliscor over Skarmory. Hell you can abuse Sand Veil a bit, and it could stop that ridiculous Heracross thing you got going on. It'll still keep its role as a Stealth Rocker though!
