As someone relatively new to competitive battling, I'm building a sandstorm team in-game, mostly via Smogon stuff that looks like it works together. Here's my rough outline so far.
Shuckle @ (IDK) [Role: Silly Strings setter/lead, wall-trapper]
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sturdy
252 HP 252 Def 4 Sdef
- Sticky Web
- Knock Off
- Rest
- Infestation
Tyranitar @ Assault Vest [Role: Special wall, sandstorm setter]
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Sand Stream
(Unknown spread)
(Unknown attacks)
Hippowdon @ Smooth Stone [Role: Sandstorm setter, physical wall, pebble placer]
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sand Stream
252 HP 252 Def 4 Sdef
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Whirlwind
Reuniclus @ Life Orb [Role: Special sweeper, trick room setter]
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Magic Guard
192 HP 64 Def 252 SpA
- Trick Room
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
Excadrill @ Life Orb [Role: Rapid spinner, Physical sweeper]
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Sand Rush
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
Garchomp @ Garchompite [Role: Sweeper of some kind]
Nature: (Undecided)
Ability: Sand Force
(Spread undecided)
(Moves undecided)
The idea is to use Sand Rush / Sticky Web / Trick Room to speed up bulky, sand-supported attackers. I'm not quite sure on Tyranitar and Garchomp, and I don't know where to make alterations to the base Smogon copypasta.
Any tips?
