Back again with another team , first of all , sorry I don't know how to get sprite images right now , If someone could tell me thanks. Now anyway this is a standard sandstorm team which I pretty much made out of the blue. Let's see what I've got.
Tyranitar/Devastater
leftovers
hp 182 atk 252 sp def 74
Lonely
sandstream (obviously)
stealth rock
crunch
fire punch
stone edge
Tyranitar is my weather-setter , stealth rocker , and late physical sweeper , stealth rocks ... , crunch is to hit something for heavy damage on the switch and for the possible defense drop , fire punch knocks out just about any grass pokemon on the switch if predicted correctly , and to scare away Ferrothorn leads , and it can also surprise Skarmory for a 2HKO , Stone edge is for a strong STAB move.
Landorus/Surodnal
life orb
hp 4 atk 252 spe 252
jolly
Sand Force
swords dance
earthquake
stone edge
Hp (water)
Landorus is my sand sweeper , If it gets a swords dance it becomes a Terrifying force to deal with with its potent EdgeQuake combo whic needs no explanation , I know i'm gonna catch some heat for having hp water instead of ice but I think it's pretty manageable , plus half the time it will scare off Gliscor anyways
Ferrothorn/SPIKES
leftovers
iron barbs
hp 252 def 74 sp def 182
Relaxed
spikes
leech seed
gyro ball
power whip
My other hazard setter and general annoyance , Ferrothorn is a great check to many OU threats , thanks to its awesome grass / steel typing. leech seed is to prevent anything from staying in and setting up on it. with its slow nature and decent attack stat , a STAB Gyro ball from this thing will leave quite a dent on unresisting targets , Power whip also hits hard for powerful STAB damage , easily knocking out anything weak to grass
Scizor
choice-band
hp 4 atk 252 spe 252
technician
jolly
bullet punch
u-turn
superpower
double hit
Easily one of the most important pokemon on this team , Scizor is my only form of strong priority and a great physical sweeper , bullet punch to knock off that last 15-20% off opponents and with a Technician boost and STAB it becomes a surprisingly threatening move , u-turn to keep momentum going and to get some decent damage on certain things. , Superpower combined with Scizors high attack and choice-band it can easily put a huge dent in even some physical "walls" , double hit can easily corner pokemon whose lively-hood depends on sub.
Alakazam/T.E
focus sash
hp 4 sp atk 252 spe 252
magic guard
psyshock
calm mind
shadow ball
focus blast
In my opinion , MG Alakazam is a perfect candidate for a sandstorm team , It is not injured by passive damage whatsoever so it doesn't care about being hit by toxic , its 120 base speed coupled with a speed nature means very few things (if any) outside of choice-scarf users will be able to hit outside of priority. , psyshock is a powerful STAB move and it also scares away the ever-so-annoying Blissey and Chansey. calm mind is the focus of this set , as with a boost it become an incredibly dangerous special sweeper or just an even more dangerous one , shadow is a move for good coverage. Focust blast with shadow ball has Great coverage and Focus blast allows it to tag the many steel types running around in OU (Ferrothorn , Skarmory , Registeel).
Slowbro/The brains
leftovers
hp 252 def 252 sp atk 4
regenerator
scald
psychic
flamethrower
slackoff
To be honest , I only put Slowbro on this team because I need something that can effectively sponge fire and fighting attacks , with leftovers , reliable recovery and free health on every switch it sounds like the best candidate. scald is a great STAB water that can burn targets , effectively hampering or outright crippling them , psychic is just a STAB move (it's not like fighting types will often stay in on this thing) flamethrower will make the opponent think twice about switching in Ferrothorn or Forretress , slackoff is a great move because it is reliable recovery.
Well that my sandstorm team , comment , Rate , and give me any suggestions!
