After being bored and randomly doing stuff that provided absolutely no use, I decided to use my 1/2 of a brain cell to try to make something somewhat ok. It has been working(barely) and struggles a bit so help would be useful.
Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 100 Def / 152 SpD
Careful Nature
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
Tyranitar is the sand setter allowing for Dracozolt and Excadrill to break the team down. It can pressure many pokemon and can take one +1 Bug Buzz in sand, so as long as you come in on the quiver dance, you can stop the sweep provided stone edge accuracy doesn't kill you. I decided to run Stealth Rock so I could lead and just start with pressure. The ev's are kind of random to make sure that bug buzz doesn't do as much.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Toxic
- Protect
This was originally the stealth rocker, but I noticed that my team's longevity was absolute trash, so Wish Clefable comes in. Toxic can wear things down until it is in range for any of my breakers and is just kind of annoying to wear things down if it comes down to Clef vs not steel type pokemon. Moonblast is a nice stab and can do lots to dragapult, kyruem, etc.
Dracozolt @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bolt Beak
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Outrage
Dracozolt is honestly a really good pokemon. Bolt Beak is great stab and high damage. LO allows it to get kills that it wouldn't have without it. Outrage is strong dragon stab, EQ+ Stone edge is just random coverage I slapped on because why not and the EV's are just what showdown gave me because I don't know how to ev and am to lazy to try to figure it out as well.
Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Draco Meteor
- U-turn
- Flamethrower
Dragapult is here to also punch holes in teams/clean up after the sand bois die. It provides very vital speed control if Tyranitar dies early on I guess? Shadow Ball and Draco for stab, U-Turn to pivot, and Flamethrower to hit steel types I guess. Dragapult is very useful if you need to chip/pivot/sack something for a safe switch to something. Its a good all around pokemon.
Excadrill @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Iron Head
I decided not to use Choice Band because SD looked cool, but SD has not proved useful so it might be turned to band. EQ and Iron Head for stab, Rock Blast to hit flying and just in general try to sweep or just trying to get massive damage. Adamant is obvious as speed isn't an issue in sand. Honestly I wasn't thinking when I made the set but it seemed funny and cool.
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Psychic
I wanted a special sweeper so Volcarona was very obvious. If you run into HO or a bulky lead w/o toxic hopefully, you can just try to end the game instantly with Volcarona. Usually, the sand bois can lure heatran in to try to do something I guess so Volcarona is free to just run through with its dancing. Flamethrower could be used as well but Fiery Dance gives change for SPA boost I guess?
Pokepaste :D
This is my team of weirdos and I hope you can help me make this team somewhat good.
