It's as much a first try as this team looks like, I figured it's quite weak to pokemon like Togekiss and Rotom-W, so that's why I wanted it rated!

Comments

Aegislash is ubers now. Maybe replace it with another sand stream Pokémon like hippowdon because you are reliant on keeping Ttar alive

---

I dun really mind Aegislash being Ubers, this team is not for me. It's for one of my friends, and he does not believe in Smogon.
Another Sand Stream user is very risky, and Hippowdon increases my water weakness.

---

I think the Aegislash ban is stupid anyway. I don't know loads about sand teams but you definitely need a sandstorm user. Replace one of the moves. The togekiss weakness isn't too bad and Excadrill can kill rotom W with mild breaker EQ. Maybe scarf it instead

---

Sandstorm is not even the most necessary thing here, as most pokemon on this team live through sandstorm rather than abuse it.
Exceptions being Tyranitar and Yanmega. I don't thing another Sand Storm user is needed.
I wanted the Salamence to have the scarf to function as a revenge-killer, and because of item clauses, I can't have another scarf :/

---

Just make mence a specs user then and increase it's speed EVs. Or use the life orb dragon dance set to increase it's speed

---

Yanmega doesn't really fit with the Sand at all, neither does Salamence

---

Also DD+Stealth Rock is very redundant on Tyranitar. You lose great coverage in Ice Punch by adding that in.

---

I put them for coverage really, and Ice Punch is a transfer only move, so I was not sure whether Iron Head is even worth it.

---

Azumarill's EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 HP

Pretty sure the 4 is supposed to go elsewhere :3

---
