This team aims to have as much Sandstorm abuse as possible. It's pretty old, and it needs improvement, especially because of the overload of physical sweepers. The team needs less physical sweepers while keeping the Sandstorm abuse.
The Team
Ridge Racer (Giant Enemy Crab) (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Crabhammer
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
The Sandstorm activator. I chose to give GEC four Physical attacks so he has a lot of damage dealing options (and is super effective a lot). The Lum Berry is to counter tentaquil leads with
Spore, which will get X-Scissored in return.
nope.avi (Engineer) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 204 HP / 52 Def / 252 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Bulk Up
- Slack Off
Thanks to Sand Rush, great physical Defense and Bulk Up, Engineer can be fast, take hits and deal damage at the same time. He can heal as well. I should've said enough now.
Dead Bones (Dry Bowser) (M) @ Dragon Gem
Trait: Heatproof
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Dry Bone
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz
The other boosting sweeper. I gave it a Dragon Gem because I didn't want Life Orb's recoil; Flare Blitz is recoil enough.
Strawberry (VIVIT-A) (F) @ Salac Berry
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Flash Cannon
- Energy Ball
- Endure
Endure allows the Salac Berry and Blaze to activate, making VIVIT-A's Flamethrowers lethal to almost everything unresistant. Flash Cannon is for secondary STAB and Energy Ball for Water coverage.
LOL WUT (Lolwut Pear) (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 116 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Gunk Shot
- Protect
- Toxic
- Earthquake
This team's only true wall, sadly. I need another wall. Anyway, Toxic should not need explaining, nor should Protect together with it, and the pear also has two STAB attacks.
L. Jenkins (Leeroy Jenkins) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Scrappy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Electric]
The team's Special sweeper. Due to Scrappy, Focus Blast hits Ghosts, which can be surprising for the opponent. Overheat is super effective on Medicine, Shadow Ball is for Psychic coverage,
and Hidden Power's because this team lacks Electric.
