My sandstorm team

[AJslashSD]

Okay, me n' my buddies are gonna have a battle next week with teams with a theme. One of'em are gonna specialize in NORMAL-type pokemon, and the other a defensive. Don't know the other two's theme. I'm gonna have a sandstorm team, but I ain't that confident with it so I need help.

Argh, stop using caps!
And don't use two of the same Pokemon on one team. You're basically doubling your weaknesses.

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 84 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Rock Slide

CBTar is the best starter for a Sandstorm team.

Dugtrio @ Choice Band
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Sludge Bomb

Don't use Dugtrio without Arena Trap!

Cacturne @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Atk / 176 SAtk
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Focus Punch
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Thunderpunch

Don't be a noob. Double Team and Brightpowder are gay and should never be used in competitive battles.

Sandslash @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Counter
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Metagross Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Def / 96 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash

Your team dies so bad to Water types. You need something that can actually take special hits.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Seismic Toss
- Ice Beam
- Softboiled

+Should I include a sandstorm move in one of'em just in case?
No, that totally defeats the point of using Tyranitar in the first place.

Blissey is good, and I don't know but maybe scizor, or skarmory?
