:D Sandstorm D:
Hey guize this is my first competitive team I've build for the 5th Generation. I haven't had much practice with this team but ive always wanted to build a sandstorm team around Garchomp and since he isnt a uber anymore i thought id make it my first team for the 5th generation :D
At A Glance:
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 104 SpD
Nature: Impish
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Toxic
My Lead pokemon and the key sandstormer. Supports all my other pokemon with constant damage to all other pokemon making lefties and other healing items useless aswell and boosting the speed of Excadrill and the evasion of garchomp =]. Has huge physical bulk and can take a special hit most of the time to set up stealth rock. Has toxic to wear down other walls and pokemon and slack off to give it the survivability it needs with a power stab move in earthquake.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpDef
Nature: Sassy
- Curse
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
My special wall goes hand in hand with hippowdon laying down stealth rock and 3 layers of spikes is deadly. Have curse to futher increase its amazing defense that it already has to go with its Special defense and leech seed for constant healing. Power whip for the annoying water/ground pokemon.
Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
- X-Scissor
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Sword Dance
One of my main physical sweepers. One sword dance along with the sandstorm makes Excadrill a force to be reckon with almost guaranteeing certain win if allowed to set up. Air balloon to cover his ground weakness atleast for a turn to set up. X-Scissor to take out psychic dark and grass pokemon.
Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 128 HP / 252 SpA / 128 Spe
Nature: Modest
- Thunder Wave
- Thunder Bolt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump
Will-O-Wisp to stop physical sweepers in their track and power stab in hydro pump and thunder bolt to take out any other pokemon my others cant.
Reuniclus @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Bold
- Psyshic
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Focus Blast
My special sweeper extremely hard to kill with max ev's and when allowed to set up its nearly unstoppable focus blast to cover its weaknesses recover for added survivability and left overs for a constant gain of health
Garchomp @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature:
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Fire Fang
My main sweeper with choice band he nearly one hits even the bulkiest pokemon even though i think choice scraf might be better since ive been getting outspeed by other dragons namely latios grr fire fang for steal pokemon outrage for the rest tho getting locked to it sucks thought perhaps dragon claw might be better instead of stone edge since excadrill already has rock slide
