My first sand team

[Reshiram69]

Hey Smogon!

Reshiram69 here. I'm a new member and a relatively new competative battler, and, as the title suggests, this is my first sand team. I thought of it at like 3 in the morning when I was half asleep, playing PO, and I got wrecked late game by dark arceus. Thats why this team mostly centers around Terrakion, which, after the sandstorm boost, can take 1 unboosted judgement, get a justified boost, set up on the swich, and wreck. Thats the main theme of this team. Anyways, constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome, and without further rambling, lets get into it
At a glance: (sorry no pictures)

Tarzan (Tyranitar) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/64Attack/192 SpD
Adamant Nature: (-SpA, +Atk)
-Pursuit
-Payback
-Stone Edge
-Low Kick
This thing hits hard, is unexpected, and generally works. Evs are for survivability, power, and a huge spec D. Payback is there because Ttar is slow but powerful. Pursuit inflicts heavy damage on the switch. Stone Edge is for flyers + Stab, Low kick is for Dialga and other such pokes. Also its a sand team, so... needs sand

Oh Shit (Terrakion) @ Life Orb
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 attack/56 defence/200 Speed
Adamant Nature: (-SpA, +Atk)
-Rock Polish
-Swords Dance
-Stone Edge
-Close Combat
Terrakion and I have a love-hate relationship... I love using it and hate facing it (badum tish) Anyway, this thing is great in ubers. Evs allow it to outspeed a lot of things, take some hits, potentially boost up, and hit like a truck. I also love this thing since it partners perfectly with Mewtwo, since it resists bug and gets a boost from dark.

Boo!!! (Darkrai) @ choice scarf
Trait: Bad dreams
EVs: 252 Spe and SpA/4 Hp
Timid Nature: (-Atk, +Spe)
-Trick
-Dark Void
-Dark Pulse
-Focus Blast
Saw this on an NBZ video, figured id give it a shot. It works well as it outspeeds or speed ties most choice users, including Groudon and Kyogre, and can put them to sleep, allowing for a later revenge killing. It can also cripple defencive things like ferrothorn, forretress, etc by trick scarfing them. Evs and attacks are self-explanitory.

Sweep Me? (Forretress)[/B] @ Red Card
Trait: Sturdy
Evs: 252 HP and SpD/ 4 Defence
Bold Nature: (-Atk, +Def)
-Stealth Rocks
-Toxic Spikes
-Volt Switch
-Rapid Spin
Words can not describe how in love with this thing i am. It works so well, I made six guys on PO rage quit after they set up early. Stealth Rocks cripple fire types, t-spikes wear down bulky set up pokes, volt switch is for switching, and Rapid spin is.. rapid spin. Need I say more?

DudeImMew2 (Mewtwo) @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure (unnerve if its out, idk)
Evs: same as darkrais
Timid Nature: (-Atk, +Spe)
-Calm Mind
-Recover
-Psystrike
-Ice Beam
Nickname is inspired by a friend of mine who got high and said "dude, im a mewtwo. Ima kick your ass" XD. and this mewtwo does exactly that. Calm mind and Recover are explanitory. Psystrike is stab and hits kyogre and blissy hard. Ice Beam takes out dragons.

ArceYES (Arceus) @ Lum berry
Trait: Multitype
Evs: 88 Hp/252 Atk/168 Spe
Adamant Nature: (+ Atk, -SpA)
-Swords Dance
-Extreme Speed
-Shadow Claw
-Recover
If I your good enough to give me good advice, I dont need to explain this.

This team will struggle against Rain Teams. One word: Kyogre. Especially a scarfed one.

Your team has nothing to resist that terrible Water Spout and Tyranitar won't survive for long against Rain so eventually you'll lose the weather war. The only thing you can do is to get Darkrai to revenge kill it by putting it to sleep but then you'll have to worry about the potential Palkia that almost always comes with Rain Teams.

Maybe you should ditch Forretress for Blissey. She can stand up to most variants of Kyogre and Palkia and works well with the rest of your team, providing Aromatheorapy for Darkrai after it's had a run with Prankster Thundurus, or heal off Burn to Terrakion or Bad Poison from Tyranitar. Blissey also heals HP with enourmous Wishes which will no doubt help the rest of the team. If you're worried about lack of entry hazards then you could give Stealth Rock to Tyranitar and Toxic to Blissey so she can spread Poison easily.
