Mixed Sandstorm Team

[Sevenl]

So this is my actual PvP team and i play just little with, so i can't talk much, you guys have any suggestion or comments to do about this team? i will appreciate any help, thanks :D

 

(Lead?)

[Nathan]

It looks like a well rounded team, you should test it on Pokemon Showdown first so you can figure out some cool strategies.

 

Good luck :Exclam: :Cool:

ill recommend firestorm on your tyranitar. you can eliminate common physical walls or heavily damage them.

[Hakunon]

Tyranitar is a good lead and you should try to fit Stealth Rock in there.

U-Turn is nice on Scizor too.

Maybe Thunderbolt on Starmie is better than Recover for more coverage and Starmie isn't too much of a stall poke

[Sevenl]

i will train spatk evs on starmie and train thunderbolt / u-turn i remove of scizor to put swords dance / stealth rock in a adamant tyranitar can work?

[Hakunon]

Yeah, a dedicated wall Tyranitar doesn't work so much because of it's typing, but Stealth Rock is very useful even if he is adamant and works well if you use him as a lead. As for Scizor, do what you think is best for your team

Don't ever lead w/ a defensive pokemon unless it can set up entry hazard. So NO, that defensive Starmie shouldn't be a leader.

And just my opinion, I would love to have a Grass type in sandteam, something like Celebi, Ferrothorn, Venu or Roserade..

I agree, should have change Earthquake to Fireblast, even w/ - nature, Fireblast is the best thing u can count on vs Skarmory/Ferrothorn - otherwise they will be good checks vs ur team (and that 31iv on sp.atk of ur Tyr is too good to be wasted).

And I prefer leftovers over smooth rock for Tyranitars since it doesn't have any other recovery method.

Showdown meta and PRO meta is two completely different things. I wouldn't bother testing my PRO team there, if I were you. Going to battle channel and type "b100" is easier way to test.

i change for a more agressive starmie and put she with lead

 

for fireblast you don't think better put flamethrower in Togekiss?

 

i can change one or two pkms if someone explain why too / i have one Venusaur

Really nice team and i am so shocked right now because i don't even know you and i have the exact same team planned out to pvp here.

Still shocked at this deja vu.

 

1) First i would recommend removing earthquake from tyranitar and replace it with stealth rock. Rocks put in work and earthquake is a sub-par move on tyranitar at best as most of it's switch-ins are not threatened by it and some flying types are dead if rocks are up for a good time. Fire blast or ice beam won't net you the dmg needed with that nature, hunt a relaxed one for that set (that ttar is much better). Stealth Rock > Earthquake on Tyranitar.

 

2) Remove rapid spin from excadrill and replace it with iron head, you really should not be so defensive on hazards to run 2 rapid spinners in the process, keep rapid spin on starmie as its a better spinner and no use of a steel type that can't smoke a fairy it sees. Iron head > Rapid Spin on Excadrill.

 

3) Thunderbolt instead of recover on starmie because your starmie is already weak on the defensive side and starmie can't stall or be annoying.

Thunderbolt helps you deal with bulky waters and some flying types as well as nail azumarill who things it can fire off freely. Thunderbolt > Recover on Starmie.

 

Thats it, have fun. I might have to change my lineup now lol.
