Some advice to users:
Read the rules thoroughly, don't be a jerk to others, use good grammar, explain your answers clearly
~ Giga Blade X
If you get the answer to a question from a site, make sure to leave a source. A link to said site is also nice. Don't get upset if your question or answer is flagged. If you ask a dupe question, you can learn from the original. If it's low-quality, use it to improve your later questions/answers.

Looking for more advice for users. Please post on my wall if you have good advice for users.
 For new users who post movesets, here is a reference on how movesets should be formatted so they can be easier to read:

[Pokemon] @ [Item]
Ability: [Ability]
EVs: [#] [Stat] / [#] [Stat] / ...
[Nature] Nature
- [Move 1]
- [Move 2]
- [Move 3]
- [Move 4]

Those who get Expert, please, please, please don't misuse your powers like Gligurr did.

Big fan of the fact that you're responsible for about half of the movesets for Oricorio xD

Not entirely, since Klutz prevents you from receiving the burn which means the parts about immunity to para etc. don't apply. It is probably worth mentioning that ability anyway.

I was going to suggest you could use Clear Amulet which prevents stat drops all of the time, but then I realized that you wanted to have no items to get the Acrobatics boost. oops O_o

i braved it... i edited it for you/ but if you go CTRL+F and swearch the keyword (Trolling), it'll bring you to the line. Then, replace ??? with <td><ins>Pass</ins></td>

No problem!

I think "benefit" can be defined as anything a Pokemon gains from Sandstorm that is not a result of being Ground/RockSteel. This includes...

Sand Rush
Sand Veil
Sand Force
Weather Ball

I wouldn't say Overcoat and Magic Guard are direct benefits of sand; instead, it's an indirect benefit by nerfing the opponent. Same applies to moves that perform worse in Sandstorm.
