Alright, a guild I'm in is hosting a 3-man theme based tournament "shin-dig". Of course I signed up to fight, and of course I'm choosing my favorite weather, Sandstorm. Now my idea here basically tarted from my love of Garchomp. We all know it's Uber, but I really don't see how Smogon classifies him as Uber when Salamence was also praised as much as Garchomp in its prime time. So.. I'm using my Garchomp! Now to the team.
Skarmory@Shed shell.
Impish nature
252Hp/176Def/64Atk/16Spe
Spikes
Roost
Brave bird
Whirlwind
Now Skarmory is going to be my lead unless I decide to use my Sandstreamer. It's basic purpose it to set up spikes, roost if it took to much damage(Which is highly unlikely), then whirlwind the Opponent until either something Skarmory can take out is here or to just scout the oponents pokemon. It's also acting like a wall in my team somewhat.
Tyranitar@Leftovers.
Adamant nature
252Atl/252Spe/6Hp.
Dragon dance
Crunch
Stone edge
Aqua tail
The Streamer and a powerhouse in the team. A standard DDtar I suppoe. I chose Aqua tail over Fire punch for more type coverage, but those pesky steel types are basically going to wall my enitre team if Garchomp is defeated. Stone edge and Crunch are basic STAB's and after a few DD's I don't plan on being taken out.
Garchomp@life orb.
252Spe/252Atk/4Hp.
Sword dance
Dragon claw/Outrage
Fire fang
Earthquake
Garchomp is my buddy... Well probably SD once, then start the sweeping unless theres more openings to go. I'd rather Dragon claw over Outrage due to no confusion afterwards. But the power of outrage is just outstanding. The other reason I prefer D. claw is because I swear I don't recall Garchomp being able to learn Outrage. How do you get it on 1?
Now Fire fang is for the steel/Ice types and other types weak to fire. Plus we love burning stuff, yet at the same time ripping it apart. Earthquake is his strongest and most basic STAB.
I started with Garchomp over favoritism, then eventually laid out his weaknesses and such. Grachomp can take care of himself, but I needed more Poke anyway.
So Tyranitar joined the team due to his ability. I'd rather him over Hippowdown because hes just beasty in my eyes. Plus I have like 10 Larvitar's with DD. Breeders do that kind of stuff. But we still needed 1 more, preferably a wall or something of the sort.
Skarmory or Bronzong due to the steel and not being affected by Sandstorm. Bronzong has it's advantages, but Skarmory is something I've never raised. so it joined my team. Now if Bronzong is more suggested over Skarmory then I'd definetly go to my inbox and get them out.
WEll, that's my Mini-Sandstorm team.. SO many suggestions or reviews would be greatly welcomed.
