I had a hankering to use Choice Band Tyranitar, so of course he was the first one, starting the sand and what not. After that I went with Gengar, as Gengar synergies exceptionally well with t-tar, can be incredibly annpying with a Sub-Pain Split set, and is devastating if played to it's strengths. Next I noticed that the team so far gets buried alive by CB Scizor, or just Scizor in general, so as a Scizor counter I decided on bulky Rotom-W, as it can take a Bullet Punch with little trouble and cripple Scizor with W.O.W. and hit it relatively hard with Hydro Pump. Next, a CB Scizor of my own sounded good, creating the famous Rotom-W + Scizor core. Next I noticed that should I lose the weather war to a sun team, I would be annihilated by Chlorophyll Venusaur, so to counter Venu I decided to fight fire with fire (grass with grass?) and give Whimiscott a shot, as it can use Prankster to Encore growth variants and overall Stun Spore Venu to make it easily revenged, Whimsicott is also a deadly subseeder, and can really support the team with Leech Seed, Stun Spore, and Encore. Originally I had Scarfed Raikou in the last spot but it quickly became evident that Raikou was not the one for the job, and I needed rocks. LeBoss suggested Landorus-T to me, and although Landorus is weak Water and Ice, which are two weaknesses I could surely do without, Intimidate supports the team really well, and he has yet to disappoint me.
