Heya guys,
I love Tyranitar, especially the Adamant DD-Tyranitar, thats why I wanted to create a sandstorm team. Here comes my Sandstorm Team:
Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk, 6 SpD, 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Crunch
Tyranitar is the Sandstorm setter and beside Sand Stream the item Assault Vest gives Tyranitar alot of SpD during a Sandstorm. This is a set which will stay like it is, since I love the EV spread on Tyranitar #Remembering Diamond Times. Not so much to say here, everyone should know the Dragon Dancing Tyranitar.
Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk, 6 HP, 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
Excadrill is a great Sweeper in combinition with Tyranitar. Tyranitar is setting the Sandstorm while Excadrill is able to get a huge benefit from the Sandstorm since Excadrill has the ability Sand Rush.
Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP, 140 Atk, 120 Def
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Superpower
- X-Scissor
- Bullet Punch
Scizor-Mega is pretty bulky and helps out the team alot. Beside that, the sandstorm cant hit Scizor, which is another great benefit. U-turn allows me to switch out of the game if a big threat is incoming. The ability Technician and the attack Bullet Punch go hand in hand, so I wouldnt see any reason here to change this combination.
Azumarill @ Normalium Z
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
One of the most run Azumarill sets out there, not much to say here. Azumarill helps great as a Pivot, since Scizor is extremely weak against fire attacks. It also is a good Pivot for Tyranitar, since Azumarill doesnt care alot about fight attacks. I prefer Azumarill over Manaphy because Azumarill has not so much weaknesses.
Latios @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA, 6 SpD ,252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Recover
- Defog
I needed something to deal with Mega Charizard Y, Keldeo and Manaphy, so Latios is a great option. Its also a great Pivot for Tyranitar and Excadrill because of Levitate. I also needed a Defogger, and Latios is known for being one. So Latios fits awesome in this team.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 SpD
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Stealth Rock
So I had all five Pokemon together, but i really needed something against fight types and something against stall teams. I also had no pokemon to set up rocks, so Clefairy was the ideal Pokemon which fits great into the team.
All in all I think I need more special defense here. I also have too much pokemon with the nature Adamant. Beside these, I also dont know if my EV spreads are good or bad. The only Pokemon I dont want to change i Tyranitar, so I hope some of you guys can help me out here to make this team better :-)
I also want to mention Twilight here which is just awesome. Thanks alot for alway helping me out on building teams and learning how to build them step by step!
Thanks alot for your time on rating my team guys, Florian
