This is my first Sandstorm team, and I'd like to know what you people think of it.
*Note* Because this is a team for Random Wi-Fi battles, there are a few problems I ran into such as Item Clause.
Well, here it is.
Jolly Tyranitar @ Lum Berry(or Chople)
Ability: Sand Stream
252Atk/252Speed/4HP
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Rock Slide
Fire Punch
This is a set that sort of fell off the face of the earth, and I use it to catch opponents off guard somewhat. The moveset lets me get good STAB coverage and hit things such as Scizor and Ferrothorn. After 1 DD I can get enough Speed to outrun neutral Life Orb Starmie. He is not really a sweeper though, he's just there to get up Sandstorm.
Primary Function: Weather support
Jolly Garchomp@Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Veil
252Atk/252Speed/4HP
Outrage
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Aqua Tail
This is my revenge killer, used to take out anything that takes me out. Usually I just spam Outrage with it to get the KOs. Earthquake is for STAB, and Aqua Tail is for coverage against.. um.. yeah.. I brought this over from Platinum, and I can't for the life of me remember why I had Aqua Tail on there. Another thing to note is Sand Veil (TROLOLO SANDSTORM ABUSE) gives me 20% evasion rate, which comes in handy once in a while.
Primary Function: Revenge Killer
Modest Reuniclus@Sitrus Berry(dang item clause, would have run lefties)
Ability: Magic Guard
252HP/252Def/4Sp.Def
Calm Mind
Recover
Psychic
Focus Blast
This is used to sponge Close Combats/Brick Breaks/Earthquakes aimed at Tyranitar. Then he promptly fires of a Calm Mind, and proceeds to search and destroy. Recover is in case I get in a jam, and Magic Guard keeps the sand out of his eyes.
Primary Function: Hit taker/Special Sweeper
Adamant Scizor@Leftovers
Ability: Technician
252HP/40Atk/216Sp.Def
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Bug Bite
Roost
Right here is the best player on the team. He supports well on the type distribution end. He can switch into Dragon/Dark hits with ease, do a little dance move, and then smack you down with a STAB Technician Bullet Punch. The EV spread is for bulk, and Swords Dance boosts Attack to very respectable levels.
Primary Function: Set up sweeper/Hit taker for Reuniclus/Garchomp
Timid Rotom@Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
252Sp.Atk/252Speed/4HP
Thunderbolt
Hydro Pump
HP Fire
Trick
The washing machine is used for taking Water/Fire hits aimed at Tyranitar and Scizor respectively. HP Fire hits Ferrothorn/Scizor/Steelix(I see this way too much for some strange reason). Thunderbolt/Hydro Pump gives solid STAB coverage, and Trick is for people who I want to lock in.
Primary Function: Special Sweeper
Known Threats: Excadrill, Mixmence.
These are the pokes I have trouble with. If you know any more threats, I will be glad to know of them.
Final Notes: You may have noticed that there are only 5 members on this team. It is a Random Wi-Fi team so I only need 3-4 members. However, variety is always good. I'm open to any suggestions for member #6 (900 Sp. Def Shuckle??)
So, go ahead and rate please!
