(this team has CBTAR)

But no Garchomp. It is based around Sandstorm since +SDef boost/Sand Stream is the sex.

Rhyperior @ Leftovers -- Hard Rock
EVs: 196 HP/200 Atk/112 SDef -- Adamant (+Attk, -SAttk)
Stone Edge
Megahorn
Swords Dance
Earthquake

SDPerior.

Tyranitar @ Choice Band -- Sandstream
EVs: 252 HP/252 Attk/6 Spd -- Adamant (+Attk, -SAttk)
Stone Edge
Crunch
Earthquake
Pursuit

CBTar.

Swampert @ Leftovers -- Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/120 Attk/136 Def -- Impish (+Def, -SAttk)
Snow Slide
Earthquake
Protect
Hydro Pump

Yay Swampert.

Gliscor @ Leftovers -- Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef -- Impish (+Def, -SAttk)
Aerial Ace
Knock Off
Stealth Rock
Roost

This is Hera walling at its finest. Lols at Pursuit/Megahorn/CC/Stone Edge. SR set up and Knock Off so SS does more damage.

Cradily @ Leftovers -- Suction Cups
EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 SDef -- Calm (+SDef, -Attk)
Recover
Mirror Coat
Grass Knot
Toxic

This is the special wall. I used Rest/Barrier/Mirror Coat/Toxic in ADV, and it pwned anything Toxic could hit, walled Curselax, and Mirror Coated pesky Ice Beams. Modified for DP. Recover over Rest to not give free setups, and Grass Knot for some actual attacking.

Ludicolo @ Leftovers -- Swift Swim
EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/56 SAttk -- Bold (+Def, -Attk)
Surf
Ice Beam
Leech Seed
Hidden Power Electric

This is Ludicolo and it is good. Subseed + Lefties recovers from SS. EV'd to ohko 4x IB/Surf weaks.

---------

HERE is the threat list so I don't get mobbed.

Tyranitar: Gliscor Knocks Off CB and EQ fails. Ttar can resist Crunches and Rhyperior can resist Stone Edge. Both can OHKO/2HKO.
Gyarados: Depends on the set. EQ is easily taken by Gliscor, but not Ice Fang. Aerial Ace is taken care of with Tar/Rhyperior, but Tar can't take EQ as well. Also it takes 25% from SR.
Infernape: Rhyperior can take non-Grass Rope and an unboosted HP Ice or two. Gliscor easily handles non HP Ice versions, and Cradily can switch in and Mirror Coat HP Ice back for the KO.
Azelf: Can't switch in on much, is Mirror Coated by Cradily.
Rhyperior: Cradily Grass Rope? Though Sandstorm gives it that SDef boost.
Electivire: Can't switch in on Rhy/Tar. Mirror Coated and Toxic'd by Cradily.
Heracross: Gliscor.
Salamence: Cradily Coats AG, AG/CB are easily walled with prediction. DD is more of a problem, but SS negates Lefties and hurts non-lefties. Does not like SR.
Togekiss: Cannot switch in at all. Ever.
Gengar: Rhyperior survives Energy Ball and OHKOs. Cradily Coats.
Garchomp: Sand Veil could pose some trouble, but Gliscor can Knock Off LO/CB. Cradily Toxics.
Raikou: Rhyperior (If HP Ice), Cradily (If HP Grass). Coated by Cradily
Lucario: ...Rhyperior?
Rampardos: Cannot switch in at all.
Tauros: CB is walled like lol.
Starmie: AG is Coated by Cradily. Others don't have as much diversity and can be walled with prediction and finding out its set.
Weavile: Can't switch in. Pursuit does shit to this team except maybe Cradily. It's not going to get a chance to SD. Does not like SR.
Dugtrio: The only thing it could really OHKO is Ludicolo. Maybe.
Alakazam: Cradily Coat. Can't switch in and can't OHKO Rhyperior. Or Tar without HP Fight.
PorygonZ: Rhyperior can take TBolt/Scheme, Cradily coats.
Medicham: Can't switch in at all. AS/CB are walled with prediction, Gliscor Knocks Off AS/CB/LO/whatever.
Staraptor: Most of the team can take Brave Bird/Double-Edge/Somersault/Pursuit. Close Combat may pose a problem, but Rhyperior can survive and OHKO. Does not like SR.
Slowbro: Can't really switch in on Tar Crunch or Rhyperior. Grass Roped/Toxic'd/Coated by Cradily.
Jolteon: Rhyperior (If HP Ice), Cradily (If HP Grass). Can't really switch in. Coated by Cradily
Aerodactyl: Rhyperior, can't really switch in. Does not like SR.
Snorlax: Toxic'd by Cradily. If it rests, then it's free Rhy setup.
Zapdos: Rhyperior (If HP Ice), Cradily (If HP Grass). Coated by Cradily. Does not like SR.
Blissey: Y halo thar free Rhyperior setup.
Suicune: Rhyperior/Tar.
Sceptile: Rhyperior for physical. Cradily for special.
Slaking: Oh look it is CBSlaking. What ever shall I do. Rhyperior setup on normal attacks. Gliscor on EQ.
Ninjask: Does not like SR or the free Rhyperior setup I get from it.
Metagross: Swampert.
Celebi: Yeah. Try switching in Celebi. (except on pert)
Jirachi: Wishpassing could be a problem. Mostly KO'd quickly, though.
Manaphy: Pert gets non Grass Rope/Energy Ball versions. Also Coated by Cradily. Leech Seeded by Ludi.
 
You've got a nasty weakness to Manaphy. Swampert's Earthquake does bugger all and it doesn't need a Grass attack to beat him, just Rain Dance/Tail Glow and Surf. Cradily's Grass Knot does nothing to him, and he'll just set up Tail Glows if he gets wise to Mirror Coat. If it's got Rain Dance/Rest/Tail Glow/Surf you're screwed even worse.

Like any team based around Rock/Ground types, you need something to handle Waters. Ludicolo or CM Blissey would help.
 
Probably Cradily. You've also got a lot of 4x weaknesses to Grass (technically Rhy is 2.66x) so Sceptile is huge pain in the arse too. Cradily doesn't really help against Sceptile if it gets a Sub up, you'll just get into a stall war. Ludi can actually hurt Sceptile with Ice Beam, so I'd throw him in.

I'd ditch at least one from Rhy, Swampy and Relicanth too.
 
Relicanth is not as good as you think in OU.
I can see him doing crazy shit in UU or even BL but not OU.

I would really, really put Grass Rope or the ultimate "pokemon beats pokemon with move" in HP Electric over Sub on Ludicolo, as, like it or not, you are not going to match up well with a DDed Gyarados with Waterfall and Taunt. Bekins made a thread about Return over Earthquake/Ice Fang in reply to mine "not sweeping enough" (even though it was conceived as a Garchomp counter) and that has a lot of merit — I'm going to try out Return on one of my teams for sure, and I wouldn't be surprised if that caught on as an actual sweeper.

Ok, one thing that will be a huge boost to your team is putting Pursuit on Tyranitar. TBH it is just too good to pass up.. Allows you to pursuit pesky AGers if they should ever use a non SE attack..And generally kicks ass. Gliscor offers enough defense against Heracross that you shouldnt need AA.

I dont really like the fact that your team is kinda reusing the same types to quite the degree that it is.. A Bug and Grass combination might be unlikely, but it would give you a whole lot of grief..

I dont know why you need Swampert. It is useful as a Metagross counter, but not all that much else for your team. You already have two other grounds, and Ludicolo makes quite an effective Metagross counter. You could replace it with something like Zapdos or Skarm or Gyarados or any other Meta counter, just to add more diversity.

Also I think Cradily another weak point of this team, but TBH I dont know if it is that important to replace it as it seems to be a favourite of yours.

(lol TTar is broken)

Have a nice day.
 
Ok, Ludi has HP Electric. I might replace Swampert, as he was really just thrown on there. I think I still might have Gross/Rhy trouble.
