Chi-Yu @ Focus Sash
Ability: Beads of Ruin
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 6 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Protect
- Tera Blast
why would I have a chi yu with focus sash on a sand team you might be asking, good question. For the most success with my team I almost never lead Tyranitar instead going for chi yu and glimmora, the goal of the fish being to poke as many holes in their defence as possible. I am debating on changing heatwave to something perhaps more accurate but not sure. also wondering if ting lu would be a better fit for this role as chi makes it harder to lead with anything other than glimmora or houndstone(who would typically not be lead anyways) as it lowers the spD of its partner. I think tera water tera blast is a good option but maybe y'all know of something better.
Tyranitar @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Tera Blast
super strong dude, not sure if Lum berry is necessary but it helps not loosing off of an unfortunate sleep or burn etc. tera fairy tera blast is a great option and solos any of those regidrago teams that you see around.
Corviknight @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Mirror Armor
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 58 HP / 100 Atk / 180 Def / 170 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Light Screen
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Tailwind
Great Pokemon, not sure I would change anything on it other than the tera type but even then not sure. pretty much guaranteed tailwind setter, bullies intimidators and icy winders, etc...
Glimmora @ Focus Sash
Ability: Toxic Debris
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 SpA / 6 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Mortal Spin
- Sludge Bomb
- Spiky Shield
- Power Gem
I think that the glimmora set is also fairly sound, not sure I would change anything.

Ability: Stamina
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 116 HP / 182 Def / 212 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Body Press
- Focus Energy
- Rest
- Draco Meteor
I know what you're thinking, archaludon on a sand team?? yes and its surprisingly good. If you can remove the checks then this guy just runs away with the game, set up a tailwind, who cares if you get hit by a super effective move, rest + Lum berry now your full health again and you have usually at least + 2 defence. focus everydraco is funny cause it means I don't have to invest into special attack at all to get the benefits of archaludons naturally high special attack.
