Im in a rock type tourney, and I need some help. I think this will be more of a defensive tournament since most rock types have killer defense and there will usually be a sandstorm up, which will give every Pokemon a special defense boost.

Tyranitar (Tyranitar may end up being banned from this tourney)
@Choice Band
Adamant
Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Focus Punch/Pursuit

Nice base 150 Special Defense from Sandstream. All that I can see that counters this well is Rhyperior.

Regirock
@Leftovers
Careful
Stone Edge
Hammer Arm (Kills Tyranitar)
Thunder Wave (Helps make up for poor speed)
Stealth Rock

Like Tyranitar, base 150 Special Defense under Sandstorms. Gets countered by Rhyperior again.

@Leftovers
Adamant
Earthquake

My own Rhyperior. Over 400 HP, over 300 Defense, potentially over 300 Special Defense in a Sandstorm. Best counter for this seems to be Omastar.

The predator awaits.
A Rock based team is not complete without Cradily, especially when you've got Sandstorm up.

Impish Nature for Rhyperior IMO.

I don't see what Magcargo's going to do with a x4 Earthquake weak, and this being a Mono-Rock Tourney, Earthquakes are going to be there fairly often.
