OU SandStorm

Gliscor@ Leftovers
Impish
40def/216spe/252atk/
-Earthquake
-Roost
-Stealth Rock
-Night Slash 
This pokemon Is One Of my favorites and the Robin of this team. He will Set of Stealth Which Is One of his most importent jobs. But If A lead like Azelf comes out I will maybe be able to take him out with Night slash in two moves before he can Explode. Then There is Roost which is more of insurence and in case a Ice pokemon like mamoswine comes out so I can drop one of my types to make it x2 instead of x4. Then My last move EQ, No Ground type is complete without Earthquake.
Now lets talk EVs I put the Attack EV on him Because of his overall Atack stat and to help Night slash 2HKO a Azelf. Then the 40 def EVs they are to servive a ice punch by a Lead weville And last but not least The 216 spe. basicly to help it out speed some pokemon that would normalty be faster. Ok thats it To the next pokemon
 
 
 
Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Adament
160Hp/252Atk/96Spe
-Persuit
-Crunch
-Taunt
-Stone Edge
 
Now Here he is Batman first Off he will start sand storm with his abilty Sand Stream then Use Stone Edge which combined with Choice band And his monsterous Attack Stat will own tons of pesky pokemon. Now let me talk about the rest of the awsomeness that is this pokemon. First Persuit which if I catch a cowerd pokemon who is retreting I will Destroy Him With Stab Persuit but not many uses besides that and Now to the next Move. Crunch I am Cosidering swiching this for Earth Quake But I might not. The Last move I have is Taunt for is if Glicor susscessfuly Defeats Azelf I will send out Tyranitar to Tuant anybody that trys to get SR off.
Now to EVs atk to enhance that already great atk stat. Hp to give him extra bulkyness. And spe to just make him faster then some other taunter after the swich. And again Next pokemon.
 
 
Scizor@Focas Sash
252Spe/252atk/4defence
Adament
~Uturn
~Swords Dance
~Bullet Punch
~Roost
I Replaced Lucario with this pokemon because of his Strangth aginst pokemon like tyranitar I made this set all by my self and I like it because it lets him heal fromat low damage with roost and can throw Bullet punches like no one has ever seen after one swords dance and then if a fire pokemon comes out he can uturn to swampert or glicor
EVs/ Atk 252 to inhance his strong attak and Speed to out speed pokemon like garodos that laq speed EVs
 
Swampert@ Leftovers
Relaxed
4atk/252hp/252def
-Earthquake
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Protect
 
I saw this set on Smogon, And I thought it looked awsome, and the reasons I like it are. number 1, is that it is really bulky and can take meny attacks with the High Hp and Defence EVs. And the the Great moves like EQ and Ice Beam, Also leftovers give it even more bulkyness and Ice beam gives it a nice last shot at a grass type pokemon even though they are rare. Well that is About it for this pokemon.
 
 
Heatran@ Life Orb
Timid
4atk/252spa/252spe
-Fire Blast
-HP Grass
-Earth Power
-Taunt
 
Heatran is on this team to swich in on any Grass type pokemon that threaten swampert also any Ice Types that are threating any of my ground pokemon he also has HP Grass so that he might get a hit on a pokemon like swampert and taunt to stop a setup sweep. This pokemon also is my only Spa attacker which could be a problem against gengar and other SpWalls

Mamoswine@LifeOrb
Naughty
244atk/64spa/200spe
-Earthquake
-Blizzard
-Ice Shard
-Stone Edge

This pokemon Will probably save me from many Defeats in the future Because of its awsome typing its Abilty is Snow cloack by the way Ok lets talk moveset. EQ is strong against Fire types and any Birds that Excape EQ with be frozen By Blizzard Or Ice Shard depending on the pokeon
Then Stone edge For Insurence. Since this is mixed Attacker since It has Spa This then is a Elephant sized problem for the other pokemon. and on that I say farewell.

 Ok Tell me what you think i am sorry for the bad spelling and smogon staff I am tring to write the roles of each pokemon on my team the best I can.
 
You have a horrific weakness to Taunt Gyarados and Mixed Infernape. Gyarados has an ample opportunity to set up a Dragon Dance on Scizor or Gliscor. Once it fires off a Dragon Dance, it can proceed to highly dent your team with a STAB Waterfall, which strikes every Pokemon on your team for neutral / super effective damage. Infernape's typical moveset is Hidden Power Ice, Close Combat, Fire Blast , and Grass Knot. Each one of those moves hits one of your team members for super effective damage. In order remedy the aforementioned problem, I recommend removing Swampert for a Vaporeon. I find Swampert's position in this team unnecessary for quite a few reasons. Below I will outline the main uses Swampert has on your team. Next to the reason, I will explain why you don't need Swampert to fulfill that role.

1) Swampert is used on your team as a way to handle Tyranitar - you aren't in need of a Pokémon that can keep Tyranitar in its place. You handle Tyranitar perfectly fine with the combination of Gliscor and Scizor. Gliscor can threaten Tyranitar with Earthquake while Scizor can use Bullet Punch / U-turn to highly damage Tyranitar.

2) Swampert is used as a means to keep Salamence in check on your team - you don't need Swampert to handle Salamence. Mamoswine's Ice Shard and Scizor's Bullet Punch handle Salamence perfectly fine.

As you can see, the roles Swampert plays on this team are already filled by the other Pokémon that reside on your team, making Swampert an unnecessary addition. If you swap Swampert for a Vaporeon, you'll be provided with a way of preventing Gyarados and Infernape from running through your team. Vaporeon also retains the Fire resistance Swampert has, allowing it to serve as a handy switch-in on opposing Fire-types like Heatran. Additionally, your Pokémon will greatly appreciate the healing Vaporeon provides with Wish. Here's the set I suggest using:

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP | 252 Def | 68 Spe
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)

  • Wish
  • Protect
  • Surf
  • Hidden Power [Electric]
The set is pretty self explanatory, so I will refrain from explaining it. If you want an explanation of the set, take a look at Vaporeon's analysis. It'd be wise to change Focus Sash to Leftovers on Scizor to give it more longevity. You don't need Focus Sash on Scizor if you're using Roost. Roost replenishes Scizor's health, so Focus Sash is unneeded to keep Scizor alive. Additionally, Scizor is susceptible to Stealth Rock, taking 12% away from its HP every time it switches in, meaning Focus Sash's effect will be negated (assuming Stealth Rock is on the field, which it likely will be by the time Scizor reveals itself). These two factors make Focus Sash worthless and Leftovers the better option. Also, 252 Speed isn't needed on Scizor since you have Bullet Punch for priority. You should be focusing your EVs more on HP to give Scizor the best possible chance to set up SD's. Use an EV spread such as 188 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spe. You still retain the ability to hit hard while gaining more durability with the added HP EVs.

I would consider using Explosion over Taunt on Heatran since you don't have much use for it. Taunt is typically used on Heatran to prevent any of your opponent's attempts to heal or set up. The main Pokémon that you will be trying to prevent from healing is Blissey, a Pokemon which poses little trouble for your team. Other Pokémon that'll try to set up on you are DD Gyarados (who is handled by Vaporeon if you decide to use it) and DD Tyranitar (who is handled by Gliscor + Scizor). This makes Taunt unnecessary. Explosion will allow you to eliminate the likes of Blissey and dent CroCune - a Pokémon which has the potential to run through your team. If you run Explosion, naive would be the better nature to use because it doesn't lower Heatran's attack stat.

I don't see the point of Night Slash on Gliscor when you have Tyranitar to deal with Azelf. I would suggest changing Night Slash for taunt to prevent any attempts to Stealth Rock from the start of the match. If Gliscor carries Taunt, Tyranitar doesn't need it. Over it, use a move such as Aqua tail to strike defensive walls such as Hippowdon for a 2HKO. Lastly, I don't see why you would use Blizzard on Mamoswine. Nowadays, Skarmory run Special Defense EVs, meaning Blizzard will not 2HKO. Skarmory will just repeatedly use Roost and lay down Spikes as you use Blizzard (keep in mind that Blizzard's accuracy isn't spectacular). I would just run the physical attacker set found here with Life Orb over Choice Band and Superpower over Ice Fang.

Good luck
