Can Someone Please Help Me With My OU Sand Team

Question

Tyranitar (Godzilla) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
TTar is my sand streamer of choice cuz i found Hippowdon to be too weak since it dies to rotom w and politoads way too easily. Plus in the sand TTar gets that extra bulk of SDef

Terrakion @ Choice Band
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
Ever since Excadrill got banned this is what took his. Before Terrakion had was CB it was CS however i thought it just didnt pack enough power and plus i have hav a CS pokemon.

Three Some (Hydreigon) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Surf
This is my revenge killer and dragon killer. Since i found that sometimes gettin rid of salamence and dragonite was a bit difficult sometimes i use this guy. The original pokemon that was here was actully latios but i needed some type coverage so i threw in this guy

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
skarmory makes a hell of a physical wall since it helps me set up spikes and break setups.

Jelly (Reuniclus) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Focus Blast
- Psychic
- Trick Room
- Shadow Ball
Okay way too many people under estimate the power the reuniclus, but trust me this guy has helped me win 8/10 of my battles and guarantees a kill 100% of the time is there is no scizor, but even with scizor it still has a 90% chance of gettin a kill. Overall this is my late game sweeper and if trick room is up late game nothing stops it.

Iron Man (Scizor) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bug Bite
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Swords Dance
life orb scizor is deadly i tell you. i used to run CB but this is sooooo much better. After a swords dance its sweeps entire teams with its stab priority bullet punch.

U have a pretty good team but your three first pokemon are all weak to fighing type moves,
and one choice scarfed mienshao can really wipe your team, so i recommend that u should replace hydreigon with latios again. It has better speed, special defense and special attack,
so I think that would be a little better, I would personaly replace skarmory with gliscor, but thats not a major problem, but for the rest u have yourself a pretty good team.

I used a similar team to this a while ago. Perhaps putting in Gangar somewhere for a full offensive core with Hydreigon and Terra. Also, you don't seem to have any real sand abusers. If you want to get rid of Hydreigon like Ben suggested, then you could afford to possible put in a real sand abuser.

---

thx for tellin me i have two copies i didnt know . what moveset should i use for latios and what do u recomend for a sand abuser and what should i switch out for it. BTW thx for support i appreciate it.

---

you could try using krookodile.

---

Why not landorus? Fighting resistance, sand force and great speed Now there's a guy who takes advantage of the sand, and he can physical mixed and special to suit your needs

---

^ I was about to say that xD. Lando's sheer force or sand force powers up many attacks, and it can pull of many sets, Physical or special. You wanted a Latios set right? Offensive or Defensive (most Latios are offensive btw)

---

Well if he he wants to go defensive Latias would probably be the way to go, and considering hoothoot would probably be getting rid of a choiced hydreigon a choiced latios would seem a logical replacement.

Latios choice scarf/choice specs
Nature: timid
Ability: levitate
Evs: 4 hp 252 sp atk 252 spd
Draco meteor
Hidden power fire
Surf/dragon pulse
Psyshock/dragon pulse

Also, life orb scizor does take decent advantage of sand, so if hoot hoot likes using scizor, scizors fine. Of course he could also give scizor a choice band and give terrakion a swords dance or double dancer set, as terrakion also can be a great sand sweeper

---

Thx for the latios set. interesting theory about terrakion i like the double set i think ill give it a try

---

I prefer Scarf terrakion. Double Dance doesn't give enough coverage if you want to use CC and Stonede like most people do. Feel free to try it, but yeah.

---

yea i know thats what i hav know dd got taken down way too easily and plus scarf help me sweep late game and got me out of some sticky situations
