ORAS OU Sandstorm team Of Doom

Hi guys i wanted to show u my team i gained a lot of expierienc with it and want to share it with you, lets start!

Hippowdon (M) @
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
– Stealth Rock
– Earthquake
– Whirlwind
– Slack Off

Hippowdon has a very important role in this team: to get the sand up so that Stoutland can sweep. I use Hippowdon over Tyranitar because Hippowdon has a better defensive typing, better physical defences, access to Whirlwind, and it can deal with Dugtrio. Because of Hippowdon’s incredible physical bulk, he’s able to tank a lot of hits from just about every physical threat in OU, and Slack Off the damage away. This bulk also allows Hippowdon to reliably set up Stealth Rocks and phaze out threats that like to boost their stats. Max HP with 244 Defence and an Impish nature give Hippowdon it’s great defence, and the 12 Special Defence EVs let it survive 2 Hidden Power Ice’s from Expert Belt Landorus after Stealth Rocks.

Dog(Stoutland) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
– Return
– Play rough
– Super power
– Crunch

Stoutland is arguably one of the best Pokemon introduced in Black and White, in both looks and function. With Sand Rush and 252 Speed EVs, Stoutland hits 518 Speed, which is only beaten by the rare +Speed natured Scarfers like Terrakion and Lati@s. Return is Stoutlands STAB attack of choice, having 110 base power. Superpower is a powerful super effective attack that hits Rock, Dark, and Steel types hard, while Wild Charge does big damage on Water types like Politoed, who naturally gives Stoutland problems. Crunch is in the last slot to hit Ghost types like Gengar, who are immune to Stoutlands Return, and it also OHKOs Lati@s. Max Attack and Speed with an Adamant nature and Choice Band let Stoutland wreak havoc on opposing teams.

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 68 Def / 252 SAtk / 188 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd
– Flash Cannon
– Thunderbolt
– Volt switch
– Hidden Power [Fire]

Because Steel-types can easily stop Stoutland from Return’ing everything to death, Choice Specs Magnezone is a great partner for him. Choice Specs Magnezone is capable of 2HKO’ing Ferrothorn in the rain with Hidden Power Fire, whereas Choice Scarf or Sub Charge Beam Magnezone can only manage to 4HKO it. Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon are strong STAB attacks, Thunderbolt doing serious damage to threats like Politoed and Skarmory, and Flash Cannon can hit various Rock and Ice types. Because Breloom with Spore is so common, I have Sleep Talk in the last slot. With Sleep Talk, Magnezone can switch in on a predicted Spore, protecting the rest of my team from sleep, while still being able to attack the opponent. 252 Special Attack with a Modest nature gives Magnezone maximum attacking power, the 120 Speed EVs let Magnezone outspeed Skarmory and standard Scizor, and the 136 Defence EVs let Magnezone survive a non-boosted Mach Punch from Breloom and OHKO back with Flash Cannon or Hidden Power.

Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtck / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
– Volt Switch
– Hydro Pump
– Pain Split
– Thunder Wave

Specially defensive Rotom-W is usually the MVP of a battle, taking lots of special hits, tanking the attacks from Rain-based teams with ease, and healing most of it off with Pain Split, as well as spreading paralysis with Thunder Wave, crippling opposing sweepers and walls that don’t have Natural Cure. Volt Switch gives me switch initiative, and Hydro Pump with 32 Special Attack EVs gets a guaranteed OHKO on standard Gliscor. Pain Split with Leftovers is Rotom’s most reliable recovery option, and it can also do a lot of damage on high HP Pokemon like Blissey. Thunder Wave is my status of choice, as the speed drop and chance of full paralysis is nice. I used to run Will-o-Wisp to cripple physical attackers and cause extra residual damage, but Will-o-Wisp’s 75% accuracy has screwed me over before. Lastly, the 248 HP and 228 Special Defence EVs let Rotom-W survive a Choice Specs Draco Meteor from Hydreigon and Pain Split most of the damage back.

Latias (F) @ Latiasite
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
– Recover
– Draco Meteor
– Psyshock
– Defog

Latias plays a very similar role to Life Orb Latios, but has the surprise factor, as well as much better defences. Latias helps check Sun teams and various Fighting-types, and she works with Rotom-W to stop Rain teams from gaining too much momentum. 72 HP EVs gives an HP number of 319, which gives Latias a bit of extra bulk. 252 Speed EVs lets Latias outspeed non-scarfed Musketeers, which are a big threat to any team, and the rest is dumped into Special Attack. For Latias’ attacks, Draco Meteor and Psyshock are great dual-STABs, the former putting a heavy dent into anything that doesn’t resist it/have a lot of special bulk, and the latter hits things like Blissey harder than Psychic would. Recover lets Latias stick around longer, especially with Sandstorm recoil damage building up over time. For the last slot, I use Defog cause sandstorm +entry hazards are too much

Excadrill (M) @ Lifeorb
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Swords dance
- Rock Slide Evs: 4 hp/252 attack/ 252 spd Adamant (att+ sp att-) Trait: sand rush




Why i used Excadrill instead of Mamoswine? Cause ots way better and its helping on this sandstorm team veryy much.I made some 6-0 sweeps with him cause 1 swords dance amd the whole team of the oponnent will get sweeped. I also wanted someone who is using sandstorm better than Mamoswine.

Closing Comments: Even though I didn’t create this team myself, it has led me to discovering great Pokemon like specially defensive Rotom-W, Choice Specs Magnezone, and offensive Latias. I plan on making new OU teams, which will hopefully feature one or more of these sets. I’ve had a lot of fun using this team, both on Pokemon Online/Showdown.
Anyway give ideas if i should replace pkmn (beside Stoutland) like: Excadrill for Mamoswine or something like that.

Wow, Stoutland! I haven't seen his sand sweeper set since early BW!
Though none of your teammates can take a spore, Breloom is threatened by a majority of your team. So if you can keep your rocks up, Volt Switch is a superior option on Magnezone, as slow pivots are appreciated on offensive teams. Definitely use superpower on Stoutland, or you can use Fire Fang to avoid power drops. However, Banded Stoutland should function as a revenge killer for your Mega Latias, eliminating things such as Gengar and Bisharp (w/ Superpower), so he should not stay in on consecutive times anyway.
 
Yeah Breelom is doing problems but he mostly get rekt by my stoutland. I gave Magnezone volt switch and irs working perfect and breelom isnt doing many problems now anymore cause Latias can stall him out aswell :)
 
Looks like a BW team lol

Anyways I have a few suggestions for this team:

First, I suggest knock off over super power on Mamoswine. The reason for this is because it allows you to lure in Skarm and remove it's shed shell so you can trap it with mag.

Next, I feel that mag should be running volt switch over sleep talk. Sleep isn't that common and the momentum provided with volt switch would definitely be more useful. Additionally, an EV spread of 68 HP / 252 SAtk / 188 Spe would suit it better, as it outspeeds uninvested base 80s and below which also hits Skarm and defensive mega Scizor.

Finally, I feel that will o wisp should be run over t wave on Rotom, as it has more overall utility and gets Chip damage on common switch ins. Additionally, an EV spread of 248 HP / 156 Def / 104 SDef with a bold nature would work better. Specs Hydreigon doesn't really exist and the EVs I mentioned live two dark pulses from Greninja after stealth rocks, which is important since it kinda threatens your team.

Cool team and hope I helped =]
 
Yeah thanks i tried will o wisp rotom wash and it really working better, the reason why i used thunder wave is that i wanted something unobvious.Also thanks for the ev spread of magnezone i tried it out and it worked perfect thanks! The ev spread of rotom wash semes nice but i want that my rotom wash isnt specially defensive and greninja is getting countered by my 2 Sandstorm sweepers so im gomma try the ev spread of rotom wash but i dont think im gonna use it. Anyway thanks for the rating and yes this was a BW team but it just worked perfect in orss/xy too so i sugguessted to post it here :)
