this...is...SANDSTREAM!

Hello smogon, i was some time without post a team... And yes this time i am going to post a sand (another one!?, yes sorry but my other teams really s###s xD) so, let's start!

Lead : tyranitar @ chople berry
trait : sand stream
EVS : 252 hp, 252 spdef, 4 atk, nature : sassy.
Moveset :
stealthrock
pursuit
stone edge
fireblast

Easy moveset, self explanatory: SR obvius, break sashes, sturdy and multiscale, and good Conbo with sand and pursuit, Pursuit is for Trap some escaping, expecially scarftios, and other psychic, i prefer stone edge over ice beam cuz it is a stab that hit hard the dragons too and kill problems like volcarona. Fire blast help me to kill scizor, skar ferro and other Steel types... With this set tyra have problems with hippo, a kind of problem that ice beam tyra will solve, this is why i am using...

Celebi @ leftovers
nature: timid
EVS : 252 sp atk, 252 speed,4 hp
Trait: natural cure .
Moveset :
giga drain
hp(Fire)
Earth power
psychic

YES! LOL a pure offensive celebi, and i like it, after SR he can OHKO scizor w hp(fire) and kill with no problems rotom-w and recover damage taken w lefty and giga. Giga drain is main stab move, psychic hit dragons switch in hard, earth power help me with some heatran... But i am not sure about this move, celebi kill breloom, leech seed, and is a good status absorber thank to natural cure.nothing else to say. I like him.

Revenge killer / phisical sweeper:

Stoutland @ choice band
EVS: 252 atk,252 speed, 4 hp
Trait: sand Rush
nature : timid/adamant.
Moveset:
Return
Fire fang/wild charge (testing move)
superpower
crunch

This moveset is just EPIC! he can kill almost everything, rakion, tyra, lucario etc, w superpower, scizor and other bugs with fire fang, return main stab move that destroy everything and FINALLY crunch, that destroy latios, jellicent, gengar, chandelure and others that was my Little doggy worst nightmare.. Problem with dragons, i am feared to switch in, cuz i am not sure to kill them all with return. Crunch replaced ice fang in my new moveset (this). Jolly nature outspeed jolly scarfkion, a problem for me.
ok looking my team bug and fight move DESTROY ME, so who is better than...

special sweeper:
landorus @ life orb
trait: sheer force
EVS : 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 hp
Nature : modest.
Moveset:
Rock polish
earth power
focus blast
Hp(ice)

Lando is really a BEAST, after a RP he outspeed everything, rexist to him only celebi, latios, gengar and bulky water like rotom-w. Earth power main stab that Hurt everything, RP speed boost move, focus blast for coverage and hp ice for dragons. Nothing to say for him just BEAUTIFUL!!
look now, ice weakness and scarfkion is still a problem with stone edge, looking at Lando counters i chose to put...

revenge killer 2:
Scizor @ choice band
Nature : adamant
EVS: 252 atk, 8 speed, 248 hp
trait : tecnician.
Moveset :
Bullet punch
superpower
pursuit
u-turn

Main scizor moveset, self explanatory. U-turn keep momentum, Bpunch priority for tyra, rakion and others, superpower destroy switching heatrans and hit hard rotoms, pursuit for Trap Someone trying to escape, like scarftios. Nothing to say, this pok no need explayns.
by looking my team , fire types and rotoms( and water in General) are still a problem, so i was thinking to someone for block this types... I think to... Like my Last pok:

Jellicent @ leftovers
trait : water absorb
EVS : 252 hp, 202 sp def, 54 speed
nature : calm.
moveset:
Scald
recover
taunt
toxic

Jellicent is a really good pok, scald stab that in 30% can burn, recover for a recovery move, taunt for taunt some niggaz and toxic for troll some volcaronas, yes I know I still have tyra like special wall, but really I no know who else to put. Jelly mainly block much moves thank to his type and to water absorb. the speed evs help me to outspeed scizor and try to burn it, and try to outspeed someone that try to use some pups.

So, mainly this is the team, see you guys and please tell me everythink you think I should change, see you and good day :)
 
Hi there!

This is a real solid Sand team, using huge threats in the current metagame such as Choice Band Stoutland and Rock Polish Landorus, so huge props for using them. However, I do see some devastating and fatal flaws with the team, and hopefully iwth my rate they will be ironed out and this team can improve even more. With all that out of the way, let's get on to my rate, now shall we? Alright, first and foremost, I would like to suggest running an EV spread of 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD over your current one on Tyranitar. This EV spread allows Tyranitar to take on Latios, Jolteon, and Ninetales much easier. Up next, I would like to suggest using a Bulky Offensive Celebi over your current Celebi set. This Celebi takes on a rather offensive role, dishing out some huge damage to threats, while still maintaining the bulk it has to take some hard hits from top threats as well. Up next on your team, I would definitely recommend running Wild Charge and Pursuit over your current choices of Fire Fang and Crunch. With Wild Charge, Stoutland is able to KO many bulky water types in the tier, most notably Jellicent, Suicune, Politoed, Vaporeon, and even opposing Starmie, while also being a weapon to 2HKO Skarmory. Now, with Pursuit, you put opposing Pokemon, Gengar and Latios being the main culprits here, in a checkmate position for a KO if they try and switch out. Finally, an EV spread of 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD over your current one would be optimal here. The 248 HP EVs maximize Scizors bulk while giving it an extra opportunity to switch in to Stealth Rock. Well, that's all I have to say for now. I hope my advice helped. Have fun and good luck in your future endeavours!

thank ciel for help, i will change scizor and tyra evs, with stoutland i think wild change may work, but i prefer crunch over pursuit, cuz i still have scizor and tyra with it, and life orb celebi i think that in a sand team should have short live so sorry, but i like more this current celebi set, i find me better with this. thanks for help :)
