So, this is the latest model of my Sandstorm team...still trying to fix tweaks and get this baby set up....I'd love advice if you have it.
Tyranitar (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 42 HP/252 Def/216 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Slide
- Roar
Works as my lead. He comes out and starts with a Twave. From there I use SR and if the time allows it, I can roar and Paraflinch it from there. Effectively defeating at least 1 pokemon, his main, and only, problem area is opening fighting attacks.

Empoleon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 28 HP/12 Def/218 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
Empoleon covers my Special Sweeping. He comes out during a Pokemon who will not kill him and uses a sub. From there, agility makes him faster than most Pokemon's base speed and the subs drain the Hp so Petaya activates as well as Torrent. He is then at massive strangth and he is able to sweep up a few pokemon.

Cradily (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Suction Cups
EVs: 252 HP/176 Def/80 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Barrier
- Recover
- Toxic
- Rock Slide
My Wall. Cradily gets all the defense it needs from Barriers, making even the strongest pokemon's physical attacks amount to nothing. From there, he uses his toxic and Rock Slides to slowly kill off the opponent. Recover when needed. Don't forget that his Special Defense is nothing to laugh at either. With a sandstorm in play it comes out to around 420 SpDef.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 SAtk
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Yawn
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Wish
I found that a lot of my guys had the EQ weakness, so this was my answer. A Wish Vaporeon who also doubles as a sleeper s able to put 1 pokemon to sleep, take an EQ to the face, and can give some HP back via Wish.

Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 180 HP/56 Atk/56 Def/218 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Aerial Ace
- Swords Dance
An offensive wall, Gliscor is able to take big hits and dish them right back. I'd like to replace him if I could, but as it stands he seems way too good. His major weakness is Ice Beam, an all-too-common move today.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
- Extremespeed
My Quick-hitter. He replaced Metagross for the speed that he has to back his power. Plus, his ES is better than BP by a mile. He's a good physical hitter, able to take out Stat-increased pokemon who are getting hurt by sandstorm.
I am all for completely new Pokemon and will sincerely be grateful for ANY advice, no matter how hasrh. thank you!
