kithas Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I made a similar team some time ago but as I'm still not very good with this I'll ask again for help: I've got this sandstorm team: Spoiler Behemoth (Hippowdon) (F) @ Smooth Rock Ability: Sand Stream Level: 87 EVs: 198 HP / 4 Atk / 170 Def / 4 SpA / 126 SpD / 8 Spe Careful Nature IVs: 21 HP / 19 Def / 3 SpA / 15 SpD / 0 Spe - Stealth Rock - Fire Fang - Earthquake - Slack Off Toph (Excadrill) (F) @ Focus Sash Ability: Mold Breaker Level: 88 EVs: 28 HP / 242 Atk / 133 Def / 50 SpD / 57 Spe Mild Nature IVs: 29 HP / 16 Atk / 25 Def / 3 SpA / 29 SpD / 22 Spe - Shadow Claw - Rock Slide - Smart Strike - Earthquake Barad Dûr (Palossand) @ Leftovers Ability: Water Compaction EVs: 19 HP / 36 Atk / 184 Def / 252 SpA / 1 SpD / 18 Spe Relaxed Nature IVs: 11 Atk - Earth Power - Giga Drain - Shadow Ball - Shore Up Kipp (Swampert) (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Damp Level: 85 EVs: 104 HP / 14 Atk / 224 Def / 11 SpA / 138 SpD / 19 Spe Mild Nature IVs: 22 HP / 19 Atk / 7 Def / 18 SpA / 18 SpD / 17 Spe - Ice Punch - Waterfall - Protect - Earthquake Grion (Gliscor) (M) @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal Level: 86 Shiny: Yes EVs: 220 HP / 29 Atk / 7 Def / 247 Spe Bashful Nature IVs: 28 HP / 6 Atk / 19 Def / 15 SpA / 3 SpD / 0 Spe - Sky Uppercut - Rock Polish - Baton Pass - Acrobatics It works good in most cases, I've got Hippowdon for sandstorm and rock traps, and then I go on depending on the type of enemy I go against. So I need to have viable choices to that last spot, and I wanted to include a rock type just for the Sp. Def boost the sandstorm provides. Some of the candidates are Mamoswine (For the Physical bulk and Ice cover), Cradily (Rock type for the said above, plus its Storm Drain + Sludge wave totally saved me agains Amaria) or even a defensive Mega Steelix... Or maybe It would be better to just keep Sp. Atk Lucario or Physical Metagross there, but I fear that would leave a lot of weaknesses or slow mons... When EP18 comes around, I'm going to get Tyranitar for sure, but I will probably intersect it in another mons' space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv7500 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I feel like you are lacking like another offensive force, you should try krookodile you could also try a mamoswine for those ice shards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenEric Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 its best if you give exca sand rush and put it behind don so it gets to sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kithas Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Well, I'm not fond of changing Mold Breaker since it allowed me to destroy the last PULSE, I'd wish I could get Choice Scarf to boost its speed but well, Sand Rush will have to do. And would krookodile be a good addition to the team? I feel like I have too much offensive power already, but I haven't considered using it... Thanks!
