XY OU Sand Rush ( 1740 in 2 days)

[Ukku]

Hi everyone this is my first RTM , I use this team 2 days and i peak 1740 elo (My first time in the ladder) ( Sorry for my English i am from Rumania )

TEAM PREVIEW

Tyranitar (F) @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge

M-Tyranitar is a great support and trapper , i use m-ttar over smooth rock ttar because this version is more bulky and i can win the weather war , Stealth rock is the best support move right now to break focus sash , multiscale , and bird spam , Fire blast is nice against ferro and skarmory , pursuit over ice punch because i need stop lati@s and volt turn (raikou , m-manectric)

Excadrill (F) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide

Excadrill is my rapid spinner , EQ / Iron head /Rock slide is the standard set , Excadrill brings me a perfect control against enemy hazards , air balloon brings a safe switch against EQ.

Amoonguss (F) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Clear Smog
- Giga Drain
- Spore
- Foul Play

Amooungus is a great pivot and my check against keldeo , azumarill and mega gyarados , m-ttar + Amoonguss forms a great core because m-ttar can trap lati@s and gothitelle and Amooungus stops water pokes , this core cover 12 types .

Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind

In the start i try to use azumarill but lando t , skarmory . ferro and m scizor walls my team i use keldeo to break all this pokes , many teams run lati@s to check keldeo for this reason m-ttar becomes a great partner.

Talonflame (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Tailwind

CB Talonflame is my late game sweeper BB/Flare Blitz/Uturn is the standard set , i add Tailwind this move brings 1 chance more to win and my ultimate recourse in the match

Latias (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish
- Trick

Scarf latias is really nice revenge killer and a big surprise , trick help me a lot against clefable , slowbro and stall teams , healing wish bring me back 1 poke to finish the game .

Threat List

Bisharp destroys latias , excadrill , talonflame and m-ttar, only keldeo can beat bisharp

252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Tyranitar: 198-234 (49 - 57.9%) -- 93.8% chance to 2HKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Excadrill: 274-324 (75.6 - 89.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 242-285 (81.2 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Latias: 398-471 (132.2 - 156.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

gardevoir-mega is really dangerous i need excadrill with 60% to beat this threat or sak any poke and talonflame can revenge kill.

m-roach is not a big thread but cc + frustation can make big holes in my team

Mamoswine is a big thread , excadrill or keldeo are my best options to kill this monster .

Hi there, nice team overall! Just two small suggestions:
DD-Gyarados, if mega or not, is a huge problem, because it can afford to set-up on many of your Pokémon (due to the fact that you have 3 potential choice-locked mons) and sweep your team if it is at good health. For Non-Mega-Gyarados, it is not too unusual to run Bounce, so your Amoonguss is not longer a switch-in (+1 Bounce KO's after Rocks damage). Even if it lacks Bounce, Amoonguss might also be in Ice Fang range as it it is your usual switch-in against Keldeo and Azumarill. Therefore I would recommend to use Hidden Power Electric over Icy Wind on your Keldeo. You don't need Icy Wind that much, as the usual Keldeo switchins that are faster, i.e. Latias and Latios, can be pursuited by Tyranitar anyway.

I also don't like three choice-users in one team, as they do potentially create set-up. Maybe you could use the standard Life Orb set on Latias, since you already have a Priority revenge killer / Excadrill / Tailwind, so your Team is already pretty fast. Without Trick on Latias you can use Roost, which lets you deal with Landorus-I and Venusaur better. You might give the Scarf to Keldeo instead, but I don't think that is necessary due to a possible Tailwind support.

At last just a small change: Move 4 HP on Talonflame into 4 Def. This makes you have an unequal HP number, so that you are able to switch into Stealth Rocks twice if you have to.

Hope this helped, good luck!

Nice team, but here are a few Adjustments that may end in helping you in the long run.

Tyranitar

Instead of so much HP, why not invest a bit into Special attack as well? Though Fire blast does check Skarm and Ferrothorn, Ice beam checks Stallgor and Lando-T, two of which can do a decent deal of damage to the team if he isn't played around carefully. Here's the spread.

Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Def / 176 SpA / 76 HP
Relaxed Nature
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit / Fire Blast

Excadrill

Standard, though Life Orb over Air Balloon would be appreciable. LO gives that power to 2HKO Ferrothorn, and to run through mons that otherwise were around the 2HKO to 3HKO range. Priority users are such a big threat in thr meta, so it's unlikely your Air Balloon will last long enough to be as effective as you want it to be.

Keldeo

Once again, pretty standard, except I'd suggest Hidden Power Grass, Fire, or Electric two water moves. Scald gives guaranteed accuracy and a chance to burn while Hydro Pump gives power, but now you're walled by a lot of common mons. Finally, I'd run Expert Belt over Specs. You have ALOT of Choice users and being locked in is destined to make you prime for getting set up on. With Expert belt you're bluffing specs and they're pulling in something you can catch by surprise and kill. It's a more efficient set in general.

Talonflame

CB Talonflame is simply outplayed by Itemless, flying plate, leftovers, or Sharp beak. I'd instead suggest Sharp Beak so you can use Support like Roost and Swords Dance, which make this Late game sweeper even more of a threat. Here's a set that should fit well

Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Swords Dance

See how these work with the team

Betapf thanks for your suggestions , i change icy wind for hp electric and works really nice against dd gyara slowbro and azumarill , i test roost+ LO in latias is pretty useful and bring me more control against set up pokes .

KMizfit_PE thanks for your suggestions, i test m ttar EVs: 252 Def / 176 SpA / 76 HP but i need bulky m ttar a lot to beat lati@s and ice beam only help against lando t , LO excadrill is a beast, i need think about this change because air ballon is the best option against sand rush xD and scarf lando t ,i gonna test your suggestion about Sharp Beak Talonflame maybe adamant nature over jolly nature replace the power lost by CB.

Hey Ukku unfortunately you didn't follow the RMT Rules when making this RMT. You did not comply with Rule 2 (descriptions) You can find the rules here. For now I am locking this thread. PM me when you have applied the changes.
