Sweeping suprisingly does well

hi all. This is a team i threw together because with all thees different strategies running around i wanted to see if they could match a team made of sheer power. So far it is done quite well (i was about 800 from testing bad teams) and now i am up to 1050 and still rising. They have great coverage and great counters for both sandstorm and drizzle teams and imo have great type synergy. Here is my team



At a Glance:









In Depth:

Gyarados
Moxie
Adamant
Choice Band
252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 hp
MOVESET:
Waterfall
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Dragon Tail




THIS GUY IS BEAST. Choice band lets him get his first kill easily. Once he gets that he gets an attack boost. If the opponent isnt observant enough to see the words "gyarados' attack rose" and just switch to something like a skarmory or blissey then i get another KO which boosts attack even more. If this guy can get +2 or two kills before he meets ferrothorn then he can 3HKO ferrothorn even if it leech seeds. I can usually get about 2 KOs with this guy. Dragon tail is for if they are setting up a sweeper i just use it and they screwed.
overall my best physical sweeper IF he can setup




Hydreigon
Levitate
Timid
Choice Specs
252 spa, 252 spe, 4 hp
MOVESET:
Surf
Flamethrower
Earthpower
Dragon Pulse



K i know most of you are probably thinking why the heck am i running this moveset and it is this simple WEATHER TEAMS. I can boost my moves by another 1.5 in any type of weather except for hail. I got flamethrower for drought, Earthpower for Sandstream, And Surf for drizzle. Dragon Pulse is for those annoying latias/latios' and or garchomps, salamences, etc. Overall my best special sweeper.





Landorus
Sand Force
Choice Scarf
Adamant
252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 hp
MOVESET:
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Outrage
Explosion (need suggestions as this is just a filler)



This guy is my beastly sandstorm counter. He laughs at excadrils who aren't holding the balloon and can sweep entire sandstorm teams if they do not have balloons. EQ is his awesome stab move. He can outspeed almost everything in OU. The only thing he can't outspeed is other Scarfs and Deoxys S. He also can not outspeed ninjask but that is only if it has a full 252 speed evs and a speed boosting nature. He is my fastest sweeper and a strong one as well.
overall best sweeper in sandstorm and if gyarados doesnt set up.




Conkeldurr
Guts
Leftovers
Adamant
252 att, 120 hp, 136 sdef
MOVESET:
payback
bulk up
drain punch
mach punch




Standard conkeldurr set. He tries to get as many bulk ups as possible in then just drain punches. If he gets in 3 or more drain punches he can OHKO drain punch dragonites. I might replace leftovers with life orb just for that extra power. Mach punch for those who are close to KOd





Metagross
Clear Body
Life Orb
Adamant
252 hp, 252 Att, 4 spe
MOVESET:
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Meteor Mash
Hammer Arm


This is my last resort physical sweeper. He has a STAB meteor mash which also has a chance at increasing attack. Earthquake for other steels ice punch for birds and dragons and hammer arm for those annoying ferrothorns.







Ludicolo
Rain Dish
Leftovers
252 hp, 252 Satt, 4 spe
Modest
MOVESET:
Giga Drain
Hydro Pump
Leech Seed
Rain Dance




This GUY IS BEAST. He is the best staller i know. If drizzle is out there and he manages to leech seed. Then it is gameover for that rain dance team. Most people are thinking WHY NOT GO SWIFT SWIM!!!!! I say for this one reason. He is more bulky and not as fast. He needs more recovery then speed. I also gave him rain dance in case opponents T-tar/ Hippowdon/ Ninetails/ Abomasnow is KOd and i can screw their team by changing weather. He can crush entire teams if he sets up.






Overall i have played ten battles with this team so far and i have only lost 1 and it was extremely close. We both had one pokemon left and both only had like 25 % health left. Only reason i lost was they had bullet punch (dumb scizor). Tell me what ya think. If you have anything negative to say please say it in a KIND manner. Even if it is negative you can still be nice about how you say it.
 
Well you seem to be running a strange Landerus set... maybe instead of Explosion you should run Rock Polish to outspeed other offensive teams =)
