Hello im back with my second RMT this time ive got a sand team
Hits 1100 and stops functioning
Lets get into it
Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Roar
- Scald
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
He's my special wall obviously i never have too much of a problem with it mainly i use him to take on/out latios/latias and the like...as he was made to do. People run Heatran or jellicent over him and looking back at it i do like jellicent for this role but i just feel like without stealth rocks i may run into problems with KO'ing other pokes but on another note i think itll solve my problem with scizor i would really like suggestions on this one
If you have anything to fill his role better or even another set that'll work better with my team that would be greatly appreciated
Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Counter
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
My physical wall, pretty generic i run counter on him to take on scizor, conkeldurr, virizion, terrakion etc. etc. anything that will take an ice fang/EQ
that doesnt expect to be in turn ohko'd by counter. I'd like to remove him or Landorus because i feel like i have a huge ice weakness (barring empoleon)
This guy makes me pretty happy most of the time because he does his job well, i just dont feel like he's enough of a physical wall i guess? if that makes any sense i dont run roost on this thing because i feel like it wouldnt be the best thing, but im pretty sure thats my problem
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
This guy is my weather set up (obviously) and the one thing that clears Terrakion or Landorus for a sweep with pursuit to take the psychics or superpower for ice Again pretty obvious
*i do apologize for this one being so short but i cant really say much its a pretty straightforward mon*
Hydreigon (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 255 SAtk / 255 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
- Earth Power
- Focus Blast
I have a real problem with him, ill get to a point where hes just useless
either it cant do enough damage or its simply outsped and ko'd
i would really like an alternative or another set
Terrakion @ Choice Band
Trait: Justified
EVs: 255 Atk / 255 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- X-Scissor
- Sacred Sword
Hes another one of my pokemon that really holds this team together. Ohko's or 2hko's pretty much everything. the only thing is that im not really a genius with predictions or outsmarting people so i seem to run into holes ALOT
if you have any suggestions as to softening predictions i would love that
Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Force
EVs: 255 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- U-turn
In my own little way i built the team around him :3
Outrage to take out those stray dragons
EQ for stab and sand force making it deadly even without the boost
U-turn to scout out sets or do massive damage with an SD boost
Hits 1100 and stops functioning

Checks and counters:
Rotom: Scarf rotom comes in multiple times and with my predictions being so bad itll basically destroy my team piece by piece
or if empoleon is taken out prior will completely run through my team like a hot knife through butter
Politoed: just the name makes me shiver, seeing as nothing on my team can come in safely other than empoleon, and i dont like that because he can carry focus blast to decimate me and all i could do in defense is roar it out
Scizor: mainly choice band scizor, now this im pretty sure is a problem with most teams but mine is significantly weak to it as you can see to more experienced people of this thread you can probably see why just by looking at my thread
to anyone less experienced look at smogon's choice band scizor set, look at my team and youll see the obvious holes itll punch in my team and the huge problem is that i simply dont have one thing that can reliably take it out
Bulky fighting types: Conkeldurr, Scrafty, Machamp basically come in and crap on my team, mostly because i lack any kind of strong flying/psychic sorta deal but i can find a way to incorperate a latios or the sort into my team and me being the horrible teambuilder i am would never know that its a bad idea

I hope i made this interesting enough, if not sorry im kinda new with this and if theres any more description needed or i made a mistake please tell me as i am pretty new to this and simply posting on smogon at all
Thanks for taking time to read it
