Tyranitar@Leftovers
Adamant
252 hp, 158 Attack, 100 Speed
Dragon Dance
Taunt
Crunch
Stone Edge
like the EV spread, and I'd assume this is the lead to get the sandstorm going in an instant, good taunter, though it's weaknesses are easyily hit, and it gets painful when they are.
Forretress@Ledtovers
Impish
252 Hp, 152 Defense, 100 Sp.Defense
Spikes
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin
Explosion
one of the few people here who realizes that uber-defensive pokemon need HP and the opposite of their strong Def, I like it, same set I've got on mine, as well, you'll need the spinner, saved my life more than once, even when taunted, so that you're not just instantly screwed xD
Cradily@Leftovers
Careful
252 Hp, 164 Defense, 92 Sp.Defense
Stealth Rock
Toxic
Recover
Rock Slide
one. of. my. FAVORITES. sandstorm beast, to be sure, and brutal when it comes to sandstorm teams, toxic and sandstorm((in case toxispikes haven't been laid, or it's a flyer)) slowly eat them away, while your incredible defenses and ability to recover keep you alive. about the only thing tha can take you out in one hit with this guy is a maxxed alakazam with a critical focus blast.
Donphan@Leftovers
Impish
252 Hp, 6 Attack, 252 Defense
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Roar
Knock Off
good, you've got a roar-er, that was a mistake I made in my team, I didn't have one, and I paid dearly for it. knock off is pretty useful, and can even deal some damage((surprisingly)) when you've got attack like donphan does.
Lucario@Focus Sash
Modest
6 Hp, 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed
Aura Sphere
HP Ice
Dark Pulse
Flash Cannon
make sure to get a good strong HP on this guy, he'll be pretty lost without it. dark pulse has never been a big need for me, and flash cannon, though it is good STAB, doesn't give a whole lot of coverage. go with water pulse instead of flash, it's great for all the rocks that HP and aura sphere don't quite get to, not to mention, heatrans can suck.
Garchomp@Choice Scarf
Adamant
6 Hp, 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Outrage
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Crunch
scarfchomp, onoez. not a big fan of this set myself, and though it's ability is quite useful, this one pokemon could really screw you if it's your last resort. the team, as it is, is VERY physically based, and your only special attacker is a difficult one to switch in, due to low defenses, halfway decent speed, and high sp. atk. also, your fighting and ice weaknesses are VERY high, and the team sort of abuses leftovers.
to add to the special side, and to aid in warding off skarmbliss, try a tyraniboah, which attacks both physically and special, meaning your EV spread and nature will have to change. either that, or change cradily's rock slide over to an ancientpower or energy ball.
How does it look?
