I love pokemon that can take their opponents attacks easily, before destroying them with a well timed attack.This is shown in my team which is made up of both defensive and offensive pokemon . Also this team contains my favorite weather form: SANDSTORM.
Lead:
Tyranitar
Nature:Jolly
Ability:Sand Stream
Item:Choice scarf
EVS:252 att. 252 spe. 4 hp.
Crunch
Stone edge
Earthquake
Aqua tail
My team lead and one of my favorite pokemon. My tyranitar loses its speed downfall with its choice scarf and can outspeed neutral natured 115 speed base pokemon.This destroys azelf leads, ninjask leads (unless they sub protect sub etc. before baton passing),uxie leads,moltres leads and many others.My tyranitar can quite easily deal with latias' which were a major pain on my previous teams.It can OHKO abomasnows with stone edge if im against a hail team and can then switch out and back in to bring back sandstorm.I have noticed though that aqua tail is rarely used as my swampert can deal with threats weak to water better.Also my tyranitar is handy against trick users who usually have choice scarfs which he will happily take.

Item:Leftovers
EVS: 240 hp. 216 def. 52 sp. atk.
Surf
Ice beam
Earthquake
Roar
A good stall who also fares well against my team's biggest weakness water. It can phase away my oppenents stat raises and can inflict damage once my forretress has set up spikes and stealth rock. Ice beam can OHKO salamence and flygon, surf deals with other ground types or pokemon i know have bad sp. def and earthquake deals with steels, blissey if she has low enough hp and fire types.
Gliscor
Nature:Adamant
Ability: Sand veil
Item: Yache berry
EVS: 252 att. 42 def. 216 spe.
Earthquake
Aerial ace
Rock slide
X-scissor
My favorite pokemon on this team as it can take physical abuse and dish out loads of its own.Rockslide deals with gyrados and other flying types.
Aerial ace deals with the fighting threat to my team. Im not sure about X-scissor as it isnt really needed.Gliscor is also probably one of the best lucario counters that exist, able to withstand a sword dance extremespeed easily and an ice punch thanks to the yache berry and can OHKO with earthquake.
