OU-Standard Sand Team

[LilOu]

Introduction:
This is a team used to destroy other teams using its offensive threats.
I made this team in cooperation with a partner (T-tarIsBroken, actually Stoned RG), using as a lead Tyranitar (obviously)

At a Glance:

In Depth:

BarneyxD (Tyranitar) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Atk / 44 SDef / 52 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Pursuit
- Fire Punch​

This baby is using the SubPunch set, but with some variations:
1. 52 Speed: This allows T-tar to outspeed those annoying Scizors.
2. Fire Punch: Making a nice combination with the 52 EV's on speed it can OHKO Scizor (this technique have been tested and it works really nice)
But, im thinking about using Superpower to face other T-tars that are not allowing me to sub-punch.
And, as the Smog #20 says, this is a featured pokemon, using its awesome attack stats of 134, Def and SDef of 110 and 100 and its HP of 100 too.
The speed is not really a big problem because it can wall many pokemons also using the 50% SDef boost from sandstorm.​

I Can Fly! (Gliscor) (M) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Substitute​

Gliscor. What this winged-scorpion can make?
Well, its ability Sand Veil allows it to troll the opponent avoiding those low accuracy-powerful attacks and then subbing to use Swords Dance and sweep the whole team with earthquake, in other case it can use Flying Gem-Acrobatics combination, making it a BAZOOKA.
It respected Def of 125 is used to wall the mounstrous terrakion and its close combat, however Gliscor doesn't make a good game against Politoed and its stab hydropump or ice beam.​

AK47 (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 216 HP / 252 Atk / 40 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Quick Attack
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower​

This pokemon is rated the #1 in OU.
The reason is because its OverPowered ability and its OverPowered base attack and its OverPowered power with a Choice Banded-Technician-Stab Bullet Punch.
This makes it to be called "Terrakion's Nightmare", and can deal 88% - 103.8% to a Mixed Attacker T-tar.

Scizor is indisputably one of the top threats in today's metagame. Not only does its Bug / Steel typing give it a host of useful resistances to complement its respectable bulk, Scizor also has a great ability, Technician, to abuse in tandem with its base 130 Attack, making it a real offensive terror

Smogon
Nothing else to say.​

Wash WASH! (Rotom-W) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Trick
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Fire]​

Another good pokemon, it can troll opponents Ferrothorns with only using trick. Then Volt Switch for the technique of Volt-Turn with Scizor.
Hydro pump for the stab and hp fire for steel pokemons or grass pokemons.
Rotom-W is separated from other Electric type pokemons because of its access to Hydro Pump, its best water type move to deal with ground type pokemons (thats the reason why it is on the team), and obviously for levitate to switch in against powerful earthquake users.​

TAS ? dude (Heatran) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 100 SDef / 160 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Roar
- Protect
- Toxic​

This Heatran cover the weakness to fire of Scizor and also of Skarm that's going to be right down. It is also made to wall the annoying Sub CM Jirachi using roar, also toxic for making the longevity of some pokes drop and protect to gain some hp with leftovers. Also stab lava plume and its SDef makes it a counter for the stealth rocks and spikes setter Forretress.​

iLuvHazards (Skarmory) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Whirlwind
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Brave Bird​

Resisiting physical moves and setting stealth rocks are the two jobs of this pokemon, also whirlwinding others forcing them to took the damage. Im thinking about using Rocky Helmet, i tryed it with other teams and it works well against those Outrages users that are trapped in their own Outrage.
The fire weakness is covered by Heatran as i said before with flash fire, raising Heatrans's SAtk.​

Conclusion:
This team is kinda "hyper offense" and its based on attacking and attacking and attacking, please rate it because i need your important opinions about it.
Also i need a counter for Rotom-W so please (i know about gastrodon) give me advices.

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Please improve your descriptions as they are not quite up to Rule 3 of the RMT Rules.

As you have noticed, your team is weak to Water-type pokemon, especially Rotom-W. A solution for this could be using Celebi over Skarmory. Since you already have 2 Steel-types, you don't really need another pokemon to tank Outrages. Of course, you're losing Stealth Rock, something that can be easily fixed by using Stealth Rock over Toxic on Heatran.

Celebi@Leftovers | Natural Cure
Modest Nature | 220 HP / 252 SpA / 36 Spe
Nasty Plot / Giga Drain / Hidden Power Fire / Psychic

I also think you should use Fire Blast on Tyranitar (over Fire Punch)with a Lonely Nature. Substitute Tyranitar is an excellent Skarmory's lure, and if you can remove/weaken it, Gliscor will have a much easier time sweeping later in the game. Oh, and I think you should use a 252 HP / 160 Atk / 16 SAtk / 80 Spd EV spread on Tyranitar instead, as it allows you to outrun Skarmory and 2HKO it before it can roost.

Good Luck!

Thanks! im going to try it :D

I encourage you to replace Hp fire on Rotom with Hp ice. HP allows you to check +1 Dnite, and seeing as I agree with replacing Skarmory as mentioned by DestinyUnknown, this is necessary. Especially as you already have Fire Moves in the form of Fire Punch/Fire Blast from TTar and Lava Plume from Heatran. Also your team seems like it would have problems with Trick Room Reuniclus so I would suggest you try a bulkier variant of TTar. I encourage you to at least try out these changes, good luck!
