Currently building a Sandstorm/Misty terrain team for OU Doubles. It’s based around a Mega Garchomp offensive core. Utilising Sand Force and nullifying the dragon-type weakness on top of mega Garchomp’s bonkers stats seems like a fantastic sweeping tactic. I have 5 of my 6 mons built in-game and showdown but struggling to find a good fit for slot 6.
I’m thinking something with either telepathy, levitate or a ground resistance to let Garchomp spam earthquake. Maybe a utility to keep Garchomp safe from status? Maybe a helping hand to add extra sweepability? Idk. Haven’t found anything to fit this slot yet
Full team below:
Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 236 HP / 240 Atk / 32 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Payback
- Thunder Fang
- Ice Fang
- Rock Slide
Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Moonblast
- Aqua Ring
- Ice Beam
Garchomp @ Garchompite
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Outrage
Palossand @ Bright Powder
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Stockpile
- Infestation
- Shore Up
- Giga Drain
Goodra @ Icium Z (or any valid Z Crystal really)
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Def / 160 SpA / 16 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Sludge Bomb
- Ice Beam
I’d be willing to swap out Goodra as well but the set I’ve used has served me well in the past and sits nicely in this team so I’ll probably only swap it if someone suggests something I’d completely overlooked for that slot
