Trust

Sand Storm teams are very popular now, because we have two pokes which turn on it. Furthermore, it has a plus of 50% of SpDef in Rock types.

I would like to read some pokemons which work well in Sand Storm, and if you want, a set too.

I can think about Cradily as a Special Wall, and Hippowdon as a Physical Wall, with the classic sets

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Roar
Slack Off
nature: Impish
evs: 252HP/4Atk/252Def

Cradily @ Leftovers
Toxic
Rock Slide
Recover
Stealth Rock / Earthquake
nature: Careful
evs: 252HP/164Def/92SpDef
 
Shuckle @ leftovers
Calm - Sturdy
252 Hp, 252 Sp. Defense, 6 HP

~Knock Off
~Rest
~Toxic
~Stealth Rock

922 sp. def in a SS rawks
 
Yeah, T-Tar or Hippowdon, or both. Sandstorm teams are fun. This is another I used a few times that annoys the hell out'a people :

Aerodactyl @ leftovers
Jolly - Pressure
252 Attack, 252 speed, 6 hp

~Substitute
~Protect
~Earthquake
~Rock Slide

Sub / protect stalls so well with leftovers and sandstorm eating your opponent and they completely loose their PP. Earthquake is to hit the rocks and steels immune to SS and Rock Slide is for STAB. Rock Slide > Stone Edge 'cause the 30% Flinch chance can really save your ass sometimes when you need that leftovers recovery for another sub / protect.

Does it only boost the SpDef. of Rock types or are there others?

Yeah, it boosts Sp. Defense of Rock types. Unless you count stuff like Sand Veil boosting evasion :\
