Sandy Stall Forever

Epic OU

Intro: This is my First team and yes it is a Sand Stall team. I've loved Stall for along time but never did well so now I think I have created a effective Team.

Hippowdon@Leftovers
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Stock Pile
-Ice Fang
252hp/252def/4spd
Adamant(+atk-spa)
Sand Stream

This is a Stock Pile Hippowdon With a pretty Standard Moves. But it is weird to see Stock Pile Hippo, also he is needed for sand Stalling. Why use Hippowdon over Tyraniar? Well Hippowdon has better bulk overall and can use Stock Pile making him the better Pokemon. Also Tyranitar is the number one used OU making Hippowdon Very cheap.

Team Help: Hippowdon let's my team stall better with is rocks and Sand. This already makes effective stall and topped on with my Skarmory they oppose a huge threat.

Skarmory@Leftovers
-Spikes
-Roost
-Brave Bird
-Whirl Wind
252hp/96atk/162def
Impish(+def-spa)
Sturdy
This really is a must to the team Why? Skarmory is a steel so Sand Storm can't touch this bird. He also gets up Spikes which is really helpful to the rest of the Team. Also it's not Fortress who never does well for me weird! Him and the Hippo do really well Tyranitar now with Fire Blast can beat the bird who Hippowdon walls. So Skarmory is a great member to the team.

Team Help: Skarmory mostly just gets up Spikes But also can stop setup sweepers in their tracks.

Latias@Leftovers
-Dragon Pulse
-Wish
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
252hp/4spa/252spe
Timid(+spe-atk)
Levitate

Latias was a idea from the Tyranitar which I think is very good. Latias will wish for my whole team this way Archeops will be a monster, every time I get to 50% Latias can wish him to full health. Also Latias can support the whole team plus herself also my Toxic Spikes will kill the oppent. Now Latias can also pull off a sweep with ease, out speeding other Dragons and substituting plus Calm Mind .
Team Help: Latias plays the role of the healer for pokemon with no recovery like Fortress or Archeops.

Forretress@Leftovers
-Rapid Spin
-Toxic Spikes
-Gyro Ball
-Volt Switch
252hp/4def/252spd
Relaxed(+def-spe)
Sturdy
Forretress is also an Idea but this time from Rofellos. Forretress is way better than Donphan the Dolphan. See Donphan only does Rapid Spin but Forretress does that and Toxic Spikes Support. Now what's different here Volt Switch. Volt Switch allows me to switch to Jellicent if Starmie is going to switch in. Also Latias can wish for him if he didn't get is job done by layering. Also I thought every Stall needs Toxic Spikes so Bye.

Team Help: Forretress puts down Toxic Spikes but also stops my stall from getting hit bye does pesky Spikes so He can Rapid Spin Yeah.

Jellicent@Leftovers
-Scald
-Toxic
-Recover
-Taunt
252hp/200def/52spd/4spe
Bold(+def-atk)
Water absorb
This guy is the blocker of my Rocks and Spikes. Plus he will wall with the team. Wait I just Realized something I have a core with the Thorn and the Jelly Fish. Yes how great so my ghost is safe electric yes the Hippo. I also take fire attacks thrown at my steels. That's him as you can see five down.

Team Help: Alright let me say he is 100% team helper. Blocking and taking attacks he is a great helper.

Archeops@Flight Gem
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Acrobatics
-Crunch
4hp/252atk/252spe
Jolly(+spe-spa)
Defitest
What again, yes again? Archeops may have the worst ability in the game but that's only happens at 50% or less. Something that will not happen see Acrobatics will KO almost everything in OU so he's solid. Also he is over kill first let me say he will kill 3 or 2 pokemon every battle so that's the team.

Team Help: Like Gengar he only uses the team not help.
 
Well wel someone is finaly usig archeops good for you! I just have two nitpicks to mention. I really think you should try and fit in a rapid spinner. Stealthrock goes both ways and you obviously know from archeops ability he's only broken if his hp stays safe. I might suggest a donphan since your team is all about sandstorm. I also am wondering why you don't have slack off on the hippo? It's his signature recovery move an would work a lot better than stockpile.

All in all I think it's awesome you chose to use archeops and really nice sandstorm theme going!

Agree with the above, Donphan would really help. I feel Ferrothorn is deadweight so I would use Donphan over it.

Donphan@Leftovers
-Earthquake
-Ice Shard
-Assurance
-Rapid Spin
252hp/252def/4spe
Impish (+Def, -SpA)
Sturdy

also you can use a sub cm Latias over Jellicent who honestly is Gengar with a different typing for further insurance against Gyarados and a better weapon against offense.

Timid (+Spe, -Atk)

Wish might be better to heal Archeops incase he gets below 50%.
 
I concur with the above! With wish being applied to your team you would be able to worry less about not having enough hp for archeops. His trAit would kick in less often and you would also have some decent recovery to spread to the rest of the
team . Your a stall team which means you need to last indefinitely on the battle and use whatever you can to keep the pressure on
 
Not neccessarily. Remember your a stall team and besides hail or sandstorm poison is one of the most solid stall tools available. Consider it like this. Your jellicent is already runnig
toxic. So what if you ran a toxic spikes forretress an replace
toxic with WoW? If you did this you would be adding a valuable stall option since toxic can really do a number on most pokes except posion types and breloom and gliscor
or flying types. But then for those teams who use roserade or tentacruel to remove toxic spikes. Instead of toxic jellicent has scald and wil o wisp to burn the pesky poison types who would stop your stall sweep!
 
Good idea Fortress will be a good replacement for the jelly fish. Well I have a lot of work to do with this team soon I can start laddering
