My Pearl/BR Team

[Rhypertank]

Well, my team isn't complete or finished yet but I tested a part of it, hehe.
So, here we go!


;464; Rhyperior @ Focus Sash
Adamant Nature
Ability : Solid Rock
6 HP / 100 Atk / 152 Def / 252 Sp. Def

- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
- Avalance

Earthquake and Stone Edge are its STAB moves. Megahorn is against any Grass/Dark/Psychic Pokémon. Avalanche is good, thanks to double-power if Rhyperior is hit.

;445; Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Jolly Nature
Ability : Sand Veil
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Swords Dance
- Brick Break

With the powerful Outrage, I can take out Rayquaza and Palkia one shot. Earthquake is a good STAB move for its Ground-Type to take out Rock/Steel. Brick Break for any Normal or Dark-type and Steel that resists to Dragon.


;248; Tyranitar @ Focus Sash
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Ability : Sand Stream
6 HP / 100 Atk / 151 Def / 252 Sp. Def

- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

Stone Edge and Crunch are its Type-moves. Earthquake is a finish move. Dragon Dance to boost its Attack, using the Focus Sash and making sure to attack next turn.


;141; Kabutops @ Leftovers
Jolly Nature
Ability : Battle Armor
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Rock Slide
- Waterfall
- X-Scissor/Night Slash
- Swords Dance

Rock Slide is good for its Type and have a better accuracy than Stone Edge and the foe can flinch. Waterfall can make the user flinch. X-Scissor for Grass/Psychic/Dark or Night Slash for Psychic/Ghost.


;461; Weavile @ Yache Berry
Jolly Nature
Ability : Pressure
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Night Slash
- Ice Punch
- Pursuit
- Brick Break/Focus Punch

Night Slash and Ice Punch are its main STAB moves. Pursuit against changing foes like Deoxys or Mewtwo. Brick Break/Focus Punch to take out Rock/Steel or other Weavile.


;484; Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Timid Nature
Ability : Pressure
6 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spd

- Surf
- Spacial Rend
- Aura Sphere
- Thunder

Surf as a main STAB move with Spacial Rend and its high-critical ratio to take out other Palkia and Rayquaza and slower Garchomp. Aura Sphere can take out Steel like Dialga and Normal like Blissey and Thunder is for Kyogre, naturally.

Changes/Suggestions in bold.

Well, my team isn't complete or finished yet but I tested a part of it, hehe.
So, here we go!


;464; Rhyperior @Choice Band/Leftovers/Muscle Band
Adamant Nature
Ability : Solid Rock
6 HP / 100 Atk / 152 Def / 252 Sp. Def

- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
- Avalance

You don't really need a Focus Sash here, to be honest. Having something that gives you recovery or boosts your Attacks is a better choice.

Earthquake and Stone Edge are its STAB moves. Megahorn is against any Grass/Dark/Psychic Pokémon. Avalanche is good, thanks to double-power if Rhyperior is hit.

;445; Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Jolly Nature
Ability : Sand Veil
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Swords Dance
- Fire Fang/Stone Edge

Fire Fang/Stone Edge gives you another way to hit Ice Pokemon, among other types.

With the powerful Outrage, I can take out Rayquaza and Palkia one shot. Earthquake is a good STAB move for its Ground-Type to take out Rock/Steel. Brick Break for any Normal or Dark-type and Steel that resists to Dragon.


;248; Tyranitar @ Life Orb/Leftovers
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Ability : Sand Stream
6 HP / 100 Atk Max Attack/Speed would've been better... / 151 Def / 252 Sp. Def

- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

Looks good.

Stone Edge and Crunch are its Type-moves. Earthquake is a finish move. Dragon Dance to boost its Attack, using the Focus Sash and making sure to attack next turn.


;141; Kabutops @ Leftovers
Jolly Nature
Ability : Battle Armor
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Rock Slide
- Waterfall
- X-Scissor/Night Slash
- Swords Dance Or Aqua Jet

Rock Slide is good for its Type and have a better accuracy than Stone Edge and the foe can flinch. Waterfall can make the user flinch. X-Scissor for Grass/Psychic/Dark or Night Slash for Psychic/Ghost.


;461; Weavile @ Choice Band
Jolly Nature
Ability : Pressure
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

- Night Slash
- Ice Punch
- Aerial Ace
- Brick Break

Pursuit doesn't have much use at all ingame, as the CPU rarely switches Pokemon. This thing makes a good lead/revenge killer. You also don't need a Yache Berry here. Weavile is pretty frail...

Night Slash and Ice Punch are its main STAB moves. Pursuit against changing foes like Deoxys or Mewtwo. Brick Break/Focus Punch to take out Rock/Steel or other Weavile.


;484; Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Timid Nature
Ability : Pressure
6 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spd

- Surf
- Spacial Rend
- Aura Sphere
- Thunderbolt

I know that when Kyogre comes out, that Drizzle starts.... but what if you have Palkia out with a Sandstorm? Tyranitar is part of your team too... and that makes her Thunder even less accurate iirc. (or I might be thinking Sunny Day... lol...

Surf as a main STAB move with Spacial Rend and its high-critical ratio to take out other Palkia and Rayquaza and slower Garchomp. Aura Sphere can take out Steel like Dialga and Normal like Blissey and Thunder is for Kyogre, naturally.

Overall, this team is a little too physically oriented, especially on the offensive side. Besides Rhyperior, there isn't much Defense/Sp.Defense to this team. Ground/Fighting/Water/Ice isn't too kind to this team either. You might want to consider dropping one of your physical sweepers for something that's a Sp.Sweeper (who works well in the Sand?).

 

[Rhypertank]

Well, I could drop my Kabutops or Garchomp (especially this one because of Palkia) for a Fire-type because of Bronzong. I could use Charizard because this one is unaffected by Ground-type moves, especially because I often use Earthquake in my movesets or Magmortar for Flamethrower and Solarbeam using Sunny Day. I can't use my Heatran because of its GROUND weakness x 4 that makes me angry about this... but if I use with Kabutops, I shall not have trouble.

But nothing is official about this team right now. I could change it anytime.

My Tyranitar is not trained yet. My Garchomp is done. Kabutops isn't ready yet. About Weavile, I made an error : I wanted to write Focus Sash but I was too fast.

 

[SapphireL]

If you have a Focus Sash Weavile on the same team as Tyranitar, you're making that item completely useless. When Weavile gets hit by the Sandstorm, she'll lose health, and that makes her Focus Sash pointless. Focus Sash only works when your Pokemon is at complete full health. In this case, she won't be.

Charizard will just get hit by Tyranitar's Sandstorm too. You need more bulky Pokemon anyway. Something like Blissey or Cresselia when equipped with the Leftovers are okay on a Sand team...

 

[Poke-friend]

Well, try to get Weavile out before Tyranitar. It's Weavile @ Focus Sash+Swords Dance, I think. This team needs little to no improvement. And I think Sandstorm doesn't do anything to Thunder, SapphireL. Not entirely sure though. If you want, you could try add Ludicolo to your team.

Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
Ability: Swift Swim/Rain Dish<---Doesn't matter I guess...
252 HP/252 sp.atk/6 spd<-???
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Energy Ball
-Focus Blast

Your Grass-, Water-, Ice-type resist.

 

[SapphireL]

^But when Weavile takes damage from Sandstorm, the Focus Sash becomes useless.

If you're wanting Ludicolo...

Ludicolo (Calm Nature) @Leftovers
-Surf/Energy Ball/Grass Knot
-Protect
-Leech Seed
-Toxic/Ice Beam

More of a stalling set. Ludicolo isn't meant for pure offense. There are better bulkier sweepers. If you don't want Protect, you could put Ice Beam in that slot.

But anyways, I would suggest getting rid of Tyranitar, to be honest. Sandstream is going to limit your choices... :/

Actually,you're right.Sandstorm only lowers the healing of indirect health healers,and Solar Beam's Power becomes 60.
