This is the first LC team I have ever made, and I've been using it in my gym, as it is the only LC team I possess that is tested and battle proven. I've been wanting to post it for a while, and I think that now that many people have seen it in my gym, I am gonna post it. I'd like the element of surprise on my side and enough people have seen it that it may not possess that surprise anymore. Originally I had Focus Sash Treecko in my lead position, but after I posted the team on Smogon, a gracious soul named Raseri suggested I use Croagunk instead. Originally I wasn't too keen on it, as I had grown to like Treecko, but Croagunk has proven to be a massively destructive force. Since it was my gym team, there are no rocks, but if I was using this team anywhere else I would have Rocks > Yawn on Hippopotas. Croagunk proclivities support by being able to switch into Water type moves, and is extremely bulky. Hippopotas sets the sand and can potentially put an opposing Pokemon to sleep with Yawn. Drilbur is a devastating sand sweeper, and Abra takes the role if the team's special sweeper. Pawniard is my backup physical sweeper, and after a Swords Dance, he is extremely hard to attack, as anything that tried to usually eats a +2 STAB Sucker Punch. Gastly is my revenge killer and late game sweeper, and Trick works well as it can lock things like Scraggy into Dragon Dance, which always works well as he usually gets an Eviolite. I really like this team but I fear it's too standard, though I'm an LC nub and I have no idea if it's standard or not. Descriptions and sprites coming later today ;)
