This is an OU sand team that I use, it works quite well, but there's always room for improvement.

Garchomp @ Garchompite
Ability: Sand Veil ---> Sand Force
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Jolly nature
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Outrage

My sand sweeper. I'm considering swapping Outrage for Dragon Claw, with all these fairies around.


Mandibuzz @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Spe
Impish nature
-Toxic
-Roost
-Taunt
-Foul Play

Defensive wall. Overcoat protects him from sandstorm damage, so it doesn't hinder him.


Reuniclus @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Evs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SpA
-Toxic
-Recover
-Psyshock
-Calm Mind

I prefer to run specially defensive Reuniclus. Reuniclus is also immune to sandstorm due to Magic Guard.


Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sandstream
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SpA
Brave nature
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit
-Flamethrower

Sand summoner and Stealth Rock support. I have Flamethrower so that Ferrothorn can't wall me. I previously had Fire Blast, but it missed in so many crucial moments that I gave up on it.


Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Timid nature
-Hydro Pump
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot

I have this guy on almost all of my teams, because his moves provide amazing coverage with Protean.


Landorus @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Timid nature
-Earth Power
-Focus Blast
-Sludge Wave
-Extrasensory

I am unsure about wether to put a Choice Scarf or Choice Specs on this one, so I just scarfed it for now.


That's all,I know I have a weakness to Ice and Fighting, but please give your opinion and suggestions for improvements.

Landarous you should put choice spec on it if it max special or high special.
Tyraintar take off pursuit and add rock slide. And these team has multi Pokemon who weakness is fairy type. You need a team member that can cover for that weakness like duration. Same goes for fighting tyranitar and greninja open to fighting attacks and electric greninja and manibuzz and ice attacks manibuzz and garchomp.

Choice Scarf Landorus.
Maybe replace toxic on the Reuniclus with shadow ball or another move with type coverage.
For your Greninja replace hydro canon with scald.
For your Tyranitar replace stone edge with Rock Slide because it has a more reliable accuracy with a flinching chance.

Aside from that I like your team.
