The Sand Nightmare (first HO team)

Heeeeeeello smogon! Its me again, pokelegend with my first HO (hyper offensive) team. I need some help, even if it seem work well. So lets start with the team!

The Lead

Tyranitar @ chople berry
Evs : 252 hp / 248 Sdef/ 8 sp atk
Trait : sand stream
Nature : sassy
Moveset:
- stealth rock
- stone edge
- fire blast
- pursuit

Tyranitar is a really strong poke. SR for residual damage on switch that is a good combo with pursuit and sand damage, Stone strong stab move for dragons (better if combo with flying) and nine, pursuit for trap some escaping latwins. He really no need other explains. Fire blast is for some Ferro, forretress, skarmory that think to be safe. He really fear terrakion, especially CB ones. So I decide to use :

The Intimidator

Landorus-t @ choice scarf
Nature : naive
Trait : intimidate
Evs : 180 hp / 252 speed / 4 sp atk / 72 atk
Moveset
- earthquake
- stone edge
- u-turn
- hidden power (fire/ice)

Is my first time I use landy-t and I am very proud. He is my answer to terrakion, even the CB ones. Even with low atk investiment, he still hit hard. EQ main stab move, stone edge for dragons and flying in general or for neutral damage to much things, u-turn for keep momentum and I was unsure in the hp. Hp fire help me with scizor and other steels immune or not weak to EQ, but hp ice help me better with the dragons... Help me pls. Up to now celebi and rotom are problematic. So the first I put is:

The SubSweeper

terrakion @ salac berry
Nature : adamant
Trait : justfield
Evs : 4 hp / 252 atk / 252 speed
moveset:
- Substitute
- Stone edge
- Close combact
- X-scissor

This is the sub set. Stone edge is main stab, like close combact that toghether hit almost everything for neutral damage at least. I was unsure for the last move. I was using x-scissor mainly for celebi, and latwins (but they are hit harder with stone) but I was thinking to use EQ.. I was thinking to remove him but really, I no know who else to put. I thought to use Ferro or skarmory, cuz I am weak to the dspammers and dragon in general if they get some boosts.

I am weak to some celebi and rotoms, so why do not fight fire with fire?

Celebi @ leftovers
Nature : modest
Trait : natural cure
Evs : 252 hp / 252 sp atk / 4 SDef
Moveset :
- giga drain
- hp fire
- thunder wave
- recover

once I tryed this celebi set, I fell in love with it. Giga drain is the main stab, hp fire for troll some scizor that try to pursuit me and twave for Latios or scarfers. Recover is another recovering move. I like him. I was thinking to put u-turn over recover, but I am slower than other celebi, so I do not care xD celebi is my answer to fight types, rotoms and status moves. He saved my life so much. I chose a bulky offensive set. He can wall moves and strike back with no much problems.
the other choose for my team was a strong dragon. He is...

The Slayer

Dragonite @ lum berry
Nature : jolly
Trait : multiscale
Evs : 4 hp / 252 atk / 252 speed
Moves :
- dragon dance
- fire punch
- outrage
- extremespeed

Dragonite is one of the strongest dragons in the tier thank to multiscale. He is my answer to celebi and breloom and rotom thanks to his type , multiscale and Lum berry. Ddance main boost move, outrage main stab move, fire punch for destroy stupid steels and jirachi, and extreme speed for an powerful priority. No other things to say. Just awesome
The last one is my sand abuser, a must In all my sands...

Stoutland @ choice band
Nature : adamant
Trait : sand rush
Evs : 4 hp / 252 atk / 252 speed
Moveset :
- return
- superpower
- crunch
- ice fang/ wild charge

I love stoutland! After garchomp he's my secon favourite pok. Standard CB set. Return main stab that hurt everything, superpower for coverage, crunch for latwins, gengar and jellicents and the last move is problematic. With ice fang I deal with dragons, but wild charge help me a lot with bulky water. ok this is the team.
My main problems are mamoswine, that can kill almost my entire team. Celebi with u-turn and psychic hurt, much more if it has hp ice, rotom is quite problematic, but i have some answers, and keldeo too give me some problems. Exept celebi, he can OHKO everything. I wait for some replies, thank you all and see ya :D
 
ye i know, i was trying garchomp, but dnite has more chance to setup and after one Ddance is faster and stronger.. But he cannot switch in spore breloom, celebi and rotom like dnite...
 
My suggestions are swap Crunch for fire blast because of its inaccuracy and T-tar's lack of SpA and put the EVs into Att or Def it doesn't really matter. Then for D-nite change Dragon Claw for Outrage and change Lefties for Lum so sand and hail doesn't break the multiscale. Hope this helped! :D
 
I prefer fire blast on tyra, cuz he really hate steel ones. And with crunch I cannot do nothing to them... On dnite I really didn't know... I use him with the Lum for get some setups, and I really not fear to be killed by sand, once he setup, my opponent team will die before him. Dragon claw is a good option for no be locked... I will try it, but it is much weaker than outrage, but thank for the rate too riley :)
