THE RAGE OF SANDSTORM
ULYCxb4B7H.jpg


Hey guys, I post this for rmt you tell me what's wrong and what to improve, I learned that with the 5G it was very hard to build a Clear Sky perfectly countered that climate, so I said I would build a weather between the three, the one with which I felt was the most hauled SandStorm So I have a build I upgraded to achieve this result:

Stealth Rock
Superpower
Fire Blast
Pursuit
item : Chople Berry
nature : Brave
evs : 252 HP / 188 ATK / 68 SPD

Why him and not another ?
Simply because there are only two pitchers of climates, and it seems to be most appropriate to my team because it has a huge SPD and allows me to earn more easily weather the war, he taught me Moove These can manage threats such as Hippodown noacier gliscor or does not support, with ice fang it is not very difficult to gliscor, Tyranitar, while the OHKO with Ice Beam

Earthquake
Rock Slide
Return
Swords Dance
item : Life Orb
nature : Adamant
ev's : 252 ATK/ 252 SPE/ 6 HP

Why him and not another ?
As the best late game sweeper game in the SS, it can take a blast of a Tyranitar, with a SD and being placed on having eliminated these cons (Gliscor, Skarmory, Bronzong) It is the opposing team. If the opponent does not have its victory against it. Rock Slide for Gyarados, dragonite, salamence, volcarona. Earthquake stab it can make big OHKO or 2HKO, SD After the damage is heavy. X - Cissors For Lati @ s. Sword Dance in moove set-up

Hydro Pump
Volt Change
Pain Split
WoW
item : lefties
nature : modest
evs : 112 HP / 252 SPA / 144 SPE

Why him and not another ?
Because it is perfect in a TSS for the rains hinder and kill Gliscor, Skarmory, Bronzong, cons a major excadrill. SPA with its high it can get very big damage even tyranitar an opponent (in approximately 50% with Hydro pump) Volt Change to scout and stab, stab Hydro pump in the second and it hinders the rains, to burn the WoW Pokemon as Scizor, Machamp, Pain Split to regain HP, Counter Blissey is perfect because it has a lot of pvs, even if it is damaged I can regain my life.

Swords Dance
Ice Fang
EarthQuake
Taunt
item : toxic orb
nature : impish
evs : 184 DEF / 252 HP / 76 SPE

Why him and not another ?
because it allows me to manage threats adverse enjoying my SS as terrakion or excadrill, Taunt for stallers as Skarmory and I can still put on them, stab in the earthquake, ice fang is for dragon types, sword dance in moove set-up, all that to say it's like a pillar in my team so I can not lose against a excadrill or terrakion, something wonderfully against gliscor

Calm Mind
Subtitute
Recover
Dragon Pulse
item : lefties
nature : timid
ev's : 252 HP / 252 SPE / 06 SPA

Why him and not another ?
It's because I'm only Rotom Hydro pumps to cash and the cash very badly (2HKO) So I took Latios initially for cash balances but also very bad (2HKO) So I decided to his sister Latias Latios on, it's clearly better cash flow, and calm mind can use to better cash them and care for health care in case of danger, dragon pulse to sweep a minimum and regeneration to treat burn toxic & co, it also allows me to generate the Suns, including ninetales & Venusaur, which I can place quietly calm mind.

Jirachi.png

Iron Head
Body Slam
Wish
Protect
item : lefties
nature : careful
evs : 224 SPD / 252 HP / 32 SPE

Why him and not another ?
Because I need a special pokemon that can counter the neutral, and with iron head and body slam, it hinders a lot of things trying to put on me, especially Landorus, it also allows me to counter tornadus is a real pain for my team. Wish to treat my teammates and myself, wish to have the shelter on. iron head that couple perfectly with body slam, body slam paralyzes and iron head flinch, so the opponent does not have much Ocassion to place an attack.

This follow-up thank you for this rmt, if you have any advice to give me please, I am open to any proposals. ^ ^​

Wait...do you mean Refresh? I strongly suggest Substitute over that since Refresh can't cure freeze and sleep, and Substitute protects you from just that. Also, with enough Calm Minds you can actually set up on Ice Beams.
 
I'm also going to have to go with min min and say that substitute is much better on latias as opposed to refresh. it also means u can get away from pursuit users because they'll just hit the sub as opposed to your latias.
 
Hey there. Cool team.

First off, XcRunner is right, and also your Gliscor should have 72 Speed, not 76, as 76 speed with the rest evs adds up to 512.

I don't particularly think that you need Air Balloon on Excadrill, so I would replace it with a Life Orb, as that will let you hit much harder. Also, run Return over X-Scissor, as it hits most pokemon harder, especially Gliscor. Lati@s are still hit pretty hard by it, and because of your own Latias, your team doesn't have many problems with Celebi. Return would also allow you to ohko Landorous after +2 if you have Life Orb, which can do some nice damage to your team otherwise.

Overall, this is a very solid team; you seem to have all of the major threats covered. Good Luck.
 
You'll have problems with sun teams, since Ninetales can burn Tyranitar and wear it down easily, paving a path for Chlorophyll sweepers, not to mention the fact that Tyranitar can't really do anything to these sweepers even after it's changed the weather. A Scarf Tyranitar set would work wonders on this team, as it can check Chlorophyll sweepers on its own, and it can catch overzealous Ninetales trying to burn you with an unexpectedly speedy Rock Slide. It also brings a revenge killer you can fall back on to beat a threat that your core may have failed to stop - for instance, if Gliscor got crit by Air Balloon Terrakion's +2 Stone Edge, you can simply revenge with Tyranitar instead of getting outright swept. The last thing Scarftar brings to the table is a solid check to Sigilyph, who can be quite annoying once it's obtained some Cosmic Powers. Rock Slide is chosen over Stone Edge because of the latter's horrible accuracy and Tyranitar can abuse RS's flinch rate with its newfound speed.

Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf | Jolly | EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Crunch | Pursuit | Superpower | Rock Slide

Making this change leaves you without a Stealth Rock user, so I'd use it in place of Jirachi's Protect. Serene Grace Body Slam+Iron Head hax abuse is often reliable enough for recovery. Finally, try using Rapid Spin over X-Scissor on Excadrill; the latter is really only useful for Celebi but you have that countered between Latias and Jirachi. Rapid Spin will greatly increase Tyranitar and Rachi's longevity because they won't have to take large amounts of spikes damage each time they want to switch in.

Good luck with your team!
 
Threats
  1. 560.png
    Dragon Dance Scrafty
Hey, good team, not a whole lot of threats that trouble you. Scrafty is the only notable problem I see, being able to come in on Tyranitar's Crunch, taking a Fire Blast / Ice Beam with its good bulk, and setting-up a DD which can allow it to OHKO pretty much every member with a little prior damage. Excadrill is the only thing faster, but I doubt it will be OHKOing Scrafty with EQ without set-up (Non LO Non SD EQ vs 60 HP / 115 Def), while Scrafty will be able to OHKO it with ease, provided HJK hits.

Solutions:

  • Solution: Chople Berry + Superpower on Tyranitar
I think the main reason Scrafty is a threat is because it gets its opportunity on Tyranitar. Giving Tyranitar a Chople Berry and Superpower will ensure Scrafty doesn't get that Dragon Dance in safe and sound as Superpower will do boatloads of damage to it. Chople Berry can help you if it goes for the Hi Jump Kick straight away (which still does 90% maximum damage), but most Scrafty that come in usually go straight for the DD then HJK expecting you to switch. Use Superpower over Fire Blast or Ice Beam (preferably Fire Blast); IMO Ice Beam makes sure Landorus doesn't get Swords Dance on you which could be bothersome, while you still handle Ferrothorn with Superpower. Also look into giving Tyranitar a spread of 252 HP / 188 Atk / 68 SDef to do tons more damage to Scrafty and Ferrothorn while still being able to KO the threats Ice Beam is mainly for (Gliscor / Landorus switching in). Brave nature is the way to go IMO (doesn't harm SAtk, reduces Speed), since even with 188 Atk, Crunch is not a KO on Latias, lol. (with Brave you do 84.6% - 100.5%, which is better)

Optional Changes:
If Scrafty still is a problem for whatever reason (I doubt it) and you find Jolly Excadrill coming on top of your Excadrill every time, you could try out Brick Break over X-Scissor, but there isn't much use for it outside of that.

Movesets:

248.png

Tyranitar (F) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 188 Atk / 68 SDef
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Crunch
- Superpower
- Ice Beam / Fire Blast / Rock Slide
---

So to summarize:
  • Alternate spread on Tyranitar
  • (Optional) Brick Brick > X-Scissor on Excadrill
 
I'd definitely try out Pursuit > Ice Beam on Tyranitar. This gives you a guaranteed way to trap Latios / Latias, instead of continuously switching in Jirachi. Ice Beam tends to be expected on Tyranitar, so competent Gliscor users will be wary of it. The Chople Berry suggestion is also solid, as it gives you extra insurance against Thundurus and Reuniclus.

I also recommend having at least 152 Speed EVs on Rotom to speed creep other Gliscor / Jirachi / Rotom. You can add more if you like, but this is enough to outspeed most variants of the above threats. HP Fire also 2HKOes Ferrothorn, making it a good option if you want to limit opposing hazards.

This team is solid, but its biggest issue is that it runs all standard sets. Competent opponents will have every individual threat covered, and you may struggle offensively as a result. With the Tyranitar changes implemented, Jirachi can afford to run a different set. The mixed attacker from the franky / ojama joint RMT could be a great fit; it breaks through common counters to allow teammates to sweep.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 108 HP / 148 Atk / 100 SAtk / 56 SDef / 96 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Common switch-ins to Jirachi include Gliscor and Skarmory. These two also counter Excadrill. Jirachi can lure out and KO Gliscor with HP Ice, allowing Excadrill to sweep freely. Against Skarmory, you can paralyze it so that Excadrill's Rock Slide only gives it a 60% chance to move. After a Swords Dance, Excadrill is powerful enough to power through Skarmory after a few flinches.
 
Hi, thank you for the advice ^ ^
I think making my own version of Jirachi's counters that will kill a excadrill because if I take one of my Ojama team will look like too: /
Thanks!
 
Hi! This is a relatively solid team so I am just going to suggest some small changes that I think will really improve its performance. That Tyranitar spread that you're running seems to be a bit inefficient as it is 2HKOed by surf from the likes of specs Latios. I agree with Faladran here in that you should run a chople berry on Tyranitar so that you can check threats such as Thundurus and Gengar in a pinch. Although I would simply maximize hp and special defense so that you have a reliable initial switch in to the lati twins, Heatran, and other specially based threats. I really think that Excadrill would do much better with a set of swords dance / earthquake / rock slide / rapid spin on this team. Skarmory and Ferrothor have multiple opportunities to get up layers of spikes so Excadrill running rapid spin would really help you out in not letting Jirachi get worn down especially if you decide to opt for the mixed set that was suggested earlier.

Substitute Landorus seems to be a pain for this team to face. It can force out a few things and grab a free substitute in which it always weakens one of your team members quite a lot or kos something. Rotom-W should run a much bulkier spread so that it can sponge some hits from Landorus and it won't be as much of a nuisance. A spread of 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe with a bold nature will really help you out here in tanking hits from Landorus. As for some small changes, substitute would work very well over refresh on Latias. Substitute really helps Latias scout for incoming Tyranitar and Scizor switch ins as well as block you from random critical hits in a calm mind war which can be especially helpful if you happen to get into a last pokemon sweeper situation.

Overall, this is a very solid team. Good Luck.
