WiFi RMT SandStorm Team

[Fierce Deity]

This is a team, that after a great amount of thinking, i came up with for WiFi, because i rarely see weather teams there, due to the extra effort needed to make sure all the types are valid, etc.

Here they are:

Two Physical walls, two Special walls, two sweepers. Like stall teams are meant to be.

Hippowdon@Leftovers
Ice Fang
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Slack Off
Nature: Impish
Evs: 252hp/252Def/6Atk

By the book hippo. Sets up the sand i need, and can also set up rocks if my foe sends out a physcial attacker, or something i can live through. Unfortunatly, he doesn't do too well against Hypnosis/Spore starters. Slack Off for important recovery and Ice Fang gives excellent coverage.

Skarmory@Leftovers
Spikes
Roost
Whirlwind
Brave Bird
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252Hp/252Def/6Atk

Can't have a SS team without him. Adds to the residual damage that Hippo gives, and can send away anything that used Hippo to set up (i.e Gyarados) with whirlwind. Roost for important recovery and Brave Bird to help him be unexpected and strike out every now and again, OHKO's both Breloom and Heracross.

Clefable@Leftovers
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Softboiled
Calm Mind/Cosmic Power
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252HP/252Sp.Def/4Def

Blissey with weight loss version. Its basically the sandstorm version of SkarmBliss (SkarmClef) and works very well. She resists sandstorm due to Magic Guard, and can Paralyze anything that may threaten the team (Heatran and friends), as well as switching in on anything Special and statting up. I am torn between the two options, both are incredibly useful, but Calm Mind will give me the edge in stall wars, whereas it can stand up to even Heracross is i get enough Cosmic Powers under my belt.

Cradily@Leftovers
Toxic
Recover
Rock Slide
Protect
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 SpD

The other UU on my team, he adds wonderful variety. Sandstorm ups his Sp.Def and makes him a fantastic counter to many OU Special Sweepers, such as Salamence and Yanmega. Rock Slide has STAB and OHKOs Yanmega, and i use Protect a lot to scout and help it recover from possible 2HKO's. Toxic cripples most sweepers, and allows Cradily to ToxiStall with Protect. Very annoying.

Magnezone@Choice Scarf
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon
HP [Ice]
Explosion
Nature: Naive
EVs: 56Atk/200sp.Atk/252Spd

This took so long to breed, but it is amazing. Those EVs along with Choice scarf give it 300 Sp.Atk and 360 Spd. This allows it to outspeed the base 600 dragons, Infernape, Starmie, and many others. It gets so many suprise kills due to both its speed, power, and versatile moveset. TB and FC are for STAB, HP[Ice] for the Dragons, and Explosion for Blissey or anything else that may lose me the match. With Stealth Rock he kills Blissey with Explosion, so he is indeed valuable as a SkarmBliss killer.

Garchomp@Choice Band
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Fire Blast
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 200Atk/252Spd/56Sp.Atk

A sandstorm team needs a physical sweeper. Who possibly fills that slot? Good coverage, Fire Blast for steels, and Dragon Claw takes a good chunk out of just about anything, even Shuckle. The only problem is that he may fair better with Adamant and Choice scarf, but thats for YOU to decide.


So thats my team, thanks for reading. Improvements are most welcome.

Life orb is a better choice, what if the opponent dicides to switch into skarmory wahn you use EQ, life orb will allow you to use the whole moveset
Toxic is an option, not very good but just in case a slowbro decides to show up, slowbro wont like poison.


So thats my team, thanks for reading. Improvements are most welcome.

Garchomp is never having Toxic as long as i live.

Shed Shell on Skarm is a very good idea, thanks for that, though.

Please read the rules before posting. You're supposed to test your team before putting it up for rate and for your information Garchomp is banned in OU hence you need to find another Pkm to replace it.
