Hello, this is my first Rate My Team so it can have alot of errors.
After battling a bit in the OU tier I noticed that there were 3 styles that dominated the tier. Hyper Offensive, Stall, and Sandstorm teams. Out of the 3, I decided to do a sandstorm team. So here it is:
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Fire Punch
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
Tyranitar this gen is a monster, even with the introduction of the Fairy type it still gets to shine with its amazing movepool and stats. In this case am using Banded Tyranitar. Normal EVs and normal moveset. Am using Tyranitar mainly for killing annoying pokemon for my teammates, those are pokemon like Talonflame, Latios and Latias in which Tyranitar can take all of their hits and when they try switch out they will be OHKOd by the Pursuit.
Landorus @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Psychic
- Sludge Wave
- Stealth Rock
I will have to admit, the 1st time I saw Landorus, I saw nothing special about it, decent stats and a good movepool. Then I decided I can give it a try and holy shit this thing is amazing. Thanks to Sheer Force, all his special moves get a nice 1.3x damage boost and when used with Life Orb it is another 1.3x boost without any recoil damage. Landorus main job is to get Stealth Rocks and to destroy treaths like Venusaur-Mega and all the Fairy pokemon.
Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Scald
The 1st time they talked about a pokemon based on a pony the first thing i tought was that it was going to suck. But oh boy I was wrong. Great stats and a decent design but ita movepool is what ruined all, and now in gen 6 with all the fairies Keldeo isnt a good option. BUT when it is used with a Choice Specs and te right support, it is a monster. When the Latis are out of the way (thanks to Tyranitar) and when Venusaur-Mega and some fairies are out too (thanks to Landorus) theres nothing left to Keldeo other than just tear apart teams.
Excadrill (M) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance/Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
Excadrill is gonna be my replacement for Aegi, even tho the loss of Aegi is gonna be bad into this team, I always considered to use Excadrill, Excadrill is an amazing pokemon, great stats and movepool. It has the power to break trough alot of teams and revenge kill alot of pokemons, and with hazzards support, it is a powerful treath.
Breloom (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Rock Tomb
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed
Breloom is an aweosme pokemon and my lead 90% of the times. It prevent hazzards making my opponent sleep thanks to Spore (unless it is Ferrothorn). Even tho it loss Low Sweep (thanks to it being now 65 base power) it got an even better move with more coverage and a great side effect in this case being Rock Tomb, Bullet Seed is the normal multi-hitting move with Technician boost and Mach Punch for strong priority.
Gyarados (M) @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Substitute
Megados is an amazing pokemon, even tho its new typing ist useful it has a pretty high attack and the HIGHER bulk than Umbreon thanks to Intimidate. Its EVs are the most used, max speed to outspeed treaths with DD and max attack with Adamant for doing the best damage it can.
Treath List:
Then of laddering with this team I have found out that my biggest treath is:
I kill it most of the times with Gyarados-Mega unless he carries Bug Bite and if he does use Bug Bite I kill it with Keldeo but usually he kills like 1 or 2 of my pokemons.
It usually depends on the coverage move it carries. If it carries Earthquake it becomes harder to kill, I usually kill it with Breloom and I stay my Sash safe, but if it carries Stone Edge it is easily killed by Aegislash.
