So here I have a Sand Storm team. I have used it on PO and against clan members, and it has worked alright. I would just like to get some input on how to make it a better OU team. Some of you will question my Natures/EV spreads, but they have worked for me, and I like to do my own custom sets.
Tyranitar(M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 Att/252 Def/ 252 Sp.Def
Nature: Careful
-Protect
-Pursuit
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
Good ol' Tyranitar. I chose a more defensive set, and it has worked really well. I love him because in the Sand, his Special Defense gets to around 450. With this EV spread, not only does he take hits like a boss, but delivers some too.
Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 128 HP/252 Def/128 Spd
Nature: Impish
-Protect
-Facade
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
This set is meant to absorb any kind of hit. I gave him full Defensive investment, and 128 on HP and Speed. I did this so he can take hits and have the HP to back it up, and with the speed, he is able to out speed many pokemon.
(Sorry I couldn't find a picture to match the others)
Rotom-W @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp.Att/ 252 Spd
Nature: Timid
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Hidden Power Ice
-Trick
I love this set. It hits really hard with about 450 Special Attack. Not only that, but I can bring him on a physical attacker, and cripple it with choice specs. I use him sometimes as a lead, and Volt Switch to scout. He also covers some of my teams weaknesses, like Water and Ice.
Landorus (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Force
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Att/ 252 Spd
Nature: Adamant
- U-Turn
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
- Hidden Power Ice
I love this guy. Between him and Rotom switching into each other with Volt-Switch and U-Turn, he is just a mofo. With his 383 Attack, and 450 Speed, people have a hard time with him. And on top of that, most people dont see a Landorus with a Choice Scarf coming. The best part of it is, its a greet sweeper all around. Even the great Ferrothorn has a hard time walling him, I have easily 2 hit killed them on many occasions.
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 Att/252 HP/252 Sp.Def
Nature: Careful
-Wish
-Stealth Rock
-Body Slam
- Iron Head
This set is amazing on Jirachi. Jirachi is my Special Defensive wall, and she does a hell of a job. With her ability to 60% Flinch and Paralyze, I am able to take out many sweepers, or at least slow them down. I have him as wish support for my whole team, and she also occasionally sets up some Rocks
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Sp.Att/ 252 Spd
Nature: Timid
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Dragon Pulse
Oh boy, Latios, one of the most feared pokemon in the game. I chose him last because I wanted a pokemon that could take water, and grass and be a Special Attacker. I like this set because with a few, or even 1 Calm mind, he does so much damage. Because of his unique typing he takes special attacks well, even more-so with calm minds. He is one of my deadly sweepers on this team.
Team in a nut-shell:
Tyranitar: Sets up my Sandstorm and takes hits while giving some.
Gliscor: Teams Defensive wall. Able to give hits after Swords Dance(s).
Rotom-W: One of my Special Attackers, also tricks some physical attackers. Resists some key weaknesses in team.
Landuros: Teams physical attacker. Hits teams wicked hard and fast.
Jirachi: Wish/rock supporter. She also paralyzes and iron heads pokes to death!
Latios: One of my Special Attackers, who takes some hits that my team resists. Heavy hitter.
All your advice will be greatly appreciated!
