This is my first comp team that i've tried putting together. So far I really like it but clefable feels useless and I am thinking of reworking/replacing her. Anything is greatly appreciated!
Tyranitar @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Fire Punch
Tyranitar is my sandstorm setter (surprise). I have dragon dance on him so he can sweep if I need to and fire punch to deal with corvinight (with whom this team struggles). I either lead with him and a hazard setter or both my hazard setters, not sure which is better to lead on. I have considered investing in Def more instead of Atk for EVs and making him more of a defensive setter but i'm not sure.
Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
Excadrill is the damage dealer. I have him here to help with mons I cant stall out or mons with taunt. Rapid spin clears hazards for me. I put a life orb on him but i'm not sure if that is the best choice. His main use is eliminating big threats that could dynamax or punch holes in my wall mons. Adamant might be a better nature than jolly, but he needs the speed if sand isnt out.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Aromatherapy
Clefable I am still unsure about. I wanted a SpD wall but I don't usually end up using her. Wish and aromatherapy are incredibly useful when I do nee to use her, but she usually just dies (to corviknight for example) before I can do anything. I like using calm mind to bulk her up more to do a little damage with moon blast and magic guard lets her stay out in sandstorm.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Knock Off
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Protect
I use ferrothorn to set stall out dynamax/gigantamax mostly. I feel like he does a really good job at this. Personally I think ferrothorn is the most useful mon on this team aside from G-Corsola with Knock Off as i've noticed leftovers is pretty popular these days. Gyro Ball deals with fairies and faster mons and power whip takes care of the gyarados threat pretty well.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Haze
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Recover
I usually lead with a combination of Tyranitar, Toxapex or G-Corsola to set up sand and hazards depending on my opponents team. Haze has proven invaluable at stopping the snowballing of GMax mons. Scald hasn't been especially useful so I might swap it out for toxic later on. Recovering on switch out with regenerator constantly keeps toxapex available to switch in and use haze.
Corsola-Galar @ Eviolite
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Night Shade
- Strength Sap
- Stealth Rock
This is my favorite mon this gen. In my experience, G-Corsola is almost impossible to kill without exploiting its weaknesses. Will-O-Wisp cripples sweepers alongside strength sap. Stealth rock is interchangeable with a better move i feel like (I've seen people use whirlpool on some builds) but night shade is my only way of doing decent damage.
