semi-sandstorm offense Veteran RMT

hai

So, this team did me good for a while, I was in the top 100, but now my ranking plunged to about 1600. So I need advice for this team. Its an offensive team, kind of sandstorm offense.

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Prankster (mischevious heart)
Impish
Leech seed
Substitute
Taunt
Encore
252 Hp/252 Def/4 Spe

This guy is a serious troll. Leech seed, leftovers substitute...Depending on the opponent i could be GAINING Hp every turn by repeatedly using substitute. The Ev's are to help survive Physical hits better. I don't need speed due to prankster, but i didn't know where to put the last 4 evs...except maybe Sdef.

Serperior @ Leftovers
Contrary (perserverity)
Timid
Leaf storm
Hidden power [ice]
Reflect
Light screen
252 Satk/252 Spe/4 Def

As If the set didn't explain itself, but I'll still post a description so my thread doesn't get locked xp. So, contrary reverses stat changes, which works stupid well with leaf storm. This thing is a BEHEMOTH after 3 leaf storms. Hidden power [ice] is for coverage, but I might turn to ground since even at +6 im walled by heatran. Reflect and Light screen are filler, but it's nice to have dual screens if i get time. This thing almost never fails at it's job.

Reuniclus @ life orb
Magic guard
Quiet
Trick room
Psyshock
Hidden power [fire]
Focus blast
252 Hp/252 Satk/4 Def

Who ever thinks that all psychic types are bad i will take this thing's arm off and slap you with it. Trick room makes it rediculously fast, only ferrothorn (Nattorei) can out slow it, but can't do much before being hit by Hp [fire]. Psyshock is for security against blissey, even though my team does good against it, i dont want trick room letting it hit hitmonlee with toxic or some other shit :s.

Hitmonlee @ Normal gem
Unburden
Adament
Fake out
Close combat
Stone edge
Pursuit
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def

Hitmonlee got a damn good dream world ability. Fake out gets rid of Normal gem, activating unburden, doubling my speed. This thing is so damn fast not even choice scarf chandelure can out speed it. The rest of my moves are for sweeping. Close combat for power and stab (obvious). Stone edge so that out speeding chandelure isn't pointless (and for coverage). Pursuit...I'm really pissed all his good dark moves are illegal with unburden. I might get a lucky prediction on a switch, but that still isn't that good. Even super effective pursuit isn't as strong as stone edge. If anyone wants to add anything to this guy, take off pursuit.

Excadrill @ life orb
Sand rush (sand throw)
Adament
Earthquake
Rock slide
Swords dance
X-scissor
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def

Ah, can't wait to hear everyone saying THIS THING IS BROKEN DXDXDXDXDX. Gliscor walls this thing so easily it isn't funny. But once gliscor is no more, swords dance and sweep. Earthquake and rock slide are good for coverage, x-scissor is better against bronzong, but he's gotten rare now for some reason...Ev's and nature for maximum damage output, and dont give the "it needs a balloon" crap. Its a sweeper not a ground type poke check. Same with nature, dont care if it loses speed ties with other excadrill, i can use hitmonlee for that.

Tyrantitar @ Leftovers
Sandstream
Sassy
Stealth rock
Fire blast
Crunch
Superpower
252 Hp/76 Atk/180 Satk

Anyone reconize this set? MixTar with the 76 Sdef evs moved to atk. Just because I put it last doesn't mean i dont switch it to first sometimes. Stealth rock is for my other sweepers, fire blast for skarm, forretress, ferrothorn...Crunch if I see an espeon on their team trying to switch in on stealth rock. Superpower for blissey and other ttars. Overall, this thing is more support than anything else.

So that's my team. My problems are that whimsicott isn't really pulling its weight. I had a gliscor in its postition for a bit...should i go back to it? Please help!
 
Your only steel poke is very weak on the SDEF side, and this really contributes with your weakness to Specs Latios.

As you use Trick Room Reuniclus, and as pointed out above (though with no real suggestion to help you) you're weak to bug moves, I suggest you to run Excavalier.

It sponges draco meteors, has a huge atk that matches to your offensive purpose and can ruin sweepers with TR up.

I suggest something like adamant, max attack, max sdef with Megahorn, Iron Head, Sub, Reversal / Return / Aerial Ace (for the yet much more common fighting types) or even SD (though I think sub and SW is too much as TR lasts few turns and bug+steel has poor coverage)

Edit: In the place of Erufuun, naturally. The post sounded like I wanted you to replace Dory, lol!

Edit2: Try Blaze Kick on Lee. It will help with Skarm, Natt, and overall increase your coverage.

the thing about adding escavalier is that it gives you an even bigger fire weakness. and without whimsicott, you only have one ground resist. I suggest switching reunculis with an OTR bronzong. It gives you a ground immunity and another dragon resist(one that wont fall to a light breeze)
then maybe you should replace whimsicott with jellicent. it gives you a fire resist as well as a fight immunity. hope it helps:toast:
 
thx

I'll try Esca, it sounds good enuogh to replace whimsy. Anything would be better than pursuit on lee...
 
I dont understand why you would run trick room on a team in which you have 3 pokemon with max speed the only pokemon which benefit from it are Reuniclus and tyranitar. Why not run calm mind to boost your damage output and increase your bulk or even run a 4 attack set with shadow ball? I think you definitely want a fire resist not a 4x weak so I would say Escavalier is a bad idea however specs lati does wreck your team which is why you should add Heatran. Heatrans gives you a nice bulky dragon resist as well as a fire immunity. You could run either the more defensive (and incredibly annoying) tormentran Which would provide a great check to latios or a more offensive variant, you could also run stealth rocks on heatran freeing a spot on tyranitar for ice beam which is great for catching gliscors by surprise. I think tormentran would complement Serperiors typing well especially with screens up. Also if Erufuun isn't cutting it but you still want an anti lead why not try thundurus? He still has mischivous heart taunt and can spread paralysis, paralyzing latios would be nice, and can switch out when he has done his job with volt change. He gives you a nice secondary resistance to fighting which has become a rather dominant type this gen. Your team looks pretty solid other then the trick room on Reuniclus and your fire weakness!
