Gen 3 Help with Team Sandstream

psydragon

I've always seen teams revolved around T-Tar but I haven't used him since Gold Version. Any suggestions on the team I've got planned ? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. This is for link battles and also please don't put in HP moves. I don't feel like breeding that much because it has to be ready REALLY SOON. I don't have the time to breed and test for HP's. Here's what I'm thinking of for my sanstream team:


T-Tar ShellBell
Sandstream Hardy
Rockslide
EQ
Crunch
Dragon Claw

Forretress Salac Berry/Leftovers
(Sturdy ?) Jolly
Spikes
Rapid Spin
Explosion
???

Cradily Leftovers
SuctionCups Calm
Ingrain
Toxic
Recover
Double Team

Swampert ShellBell/Leftovers
Torrent Hardy
Surf
EQ
IB
Brick Break/Mirror Coat

Metagross ShellBell/MetalCoat
ClearBody Adamant/Hardy
Meteor Mash
EQ
Brick Break
Iron Defense/Psychic

Flygon SoftSand/ShellBell/Leftovers
Levitate Hardy/Adamant
EQ
Steel Wing
Rock Slide
Dragon Claw/Bulk Up
 
Didn't mom serebii teach you u shouldn't have Soft Sand/Metal Coat etc. you should use berrys. And you got kinda many Leftovers ;)
 
1. If you have Emerald, get as many Lefties as you can and replace all the shell bells with them.

2. On Metagross, replace BB and move #4 with agility and explosion (that's the standard ms, anyway)

3. Flygon... I recommend this moveset... It works well in NB, but I don't know how it would fare in link...
-EQ
-Rock Slide
-Substitute
-Fire Blast (for skarm)

4. Cradily: You shouldn't really use DT... Replace it with RS and use Adamant Nature if you have the time.

5. Forretress: Why do you have Salac Berry on there? It doesn't really need speed... Other than that, given your current situation, I can't really give you much help here...

6. Ttar: Dragon is a horrible attacking type. RockSlide already hits everything Dragon Claw does except Flygon, and Swampert can kill that. Also, personally, I never really like mixed Ttars unless they're boahs, and Swampy already handles skarmbliss decently, so get rid of crunch, too. Use this moveset with a choice band:

-EQ
-Rock Slide
-Focus Punch
-Well... usually I use a HP Bug or HP Ghost here, but you're not using HP, and I can't think of another move offhand that would be good here...

7. EV's, please.
 
Okay...How's this ?

Which one should go first: T-Tar or Forry ? I don't know if I should Sstream or spike first.... Also, I was thinking of switching out one of them for Maggie to take care of the water pokes I know I'll face since I have a Sstream team. Any good movesets for Maggie ? And who should I switch out ? Maybe Flygon...... And mixed T-Tar has won me alot of battles with Crunch. Mainly because of all the Mewtwo trainers I've battled, and Focus Punch never hits for me. I always get flinched B4 I can use it......
 
TTar is fine as a lead, but it needs Dragon Dance or Thunderbolt or some better move over Dragon Claw. I'd also put Toxic over Steel Wing on Flygon, if you truly want a TSS team. Not to mention Steel Wing doesn't do anything that a STABed Earthquake or Rock Slide won't handle. I also suggest Giga Drain or Mirror Coat on Cradily over Ingain; You'd don't want to be against a Guts Heracross that just absorbed your Toxic without the choice of switching out. Also, if you choose Mirror Coat, you can sub Mirror Coat on Swampert for Counter or Toxic if you need to switch things up.
