Rate my sandstorm team plz.

[CreepacisT]

yeah, what the title says. Got this great idea for sandstorm, and it turned out as good as I wanted it to be

LEAD
Aerodactyl;142; @ focus sash , pressure
jolly/252 atk 252 spd 4hp
~taunt
~stealth rock
~ice fang
~rock slide

so I made this lead to be an antilead as well...taunt to stop the setting up of light screen, etc. Focus sash so that It cant be ohko'ed and It can be useful later on, stealth rock just cuz every team needs it, ice fang and rock slide so that again its useful late game, atk ev's are just for those 2 moves' sake

Tyranitar;248; @ leftovers
careful/ 252 hp 56 SpD 100 spd 100 atk(need a lil help as far as EVs go)
~curse
~payback
~rest
~sleep talk
so Tyranitar fits into sandstorm team cuz it gives me the sandstorm with sandstream. I also wanted him to be a bit bulky so that if the other team does a different weather I can jump back in with him. curse and payback work well cuz of speed drop from curse, atk plus defense boost from curse, and then speed drop lets payback have more power. rest and sleep talk are for the sake of tyranitar being bulky

Cacturne;332; @ brightpowder, sand veil
adamant/252 atk 252 spd 4def
~sucker punch
~substitute
~focus punch
~swords dance
this lil guy is gonna be my late game sweeper. its PERFECT for late game sweeper. sand veil plus bright powder make 100 accuracy moves only have 72 accuracy unless I calculated wrong. sucker punch plus sd plus hi atk plus 252 atk plus adamant makes untouchable. sub so that I can set up an sd at the beginning, and sub also comes into play with focus punch, so that works well, too.

then we got
Empoleon;395; @ life orb
modest/ 24 hp 252 SpA 232 spd
~surf
~ice beam
~grass knot
~agility
Idk y, but I just like this build...his steel part makes sure sandstorm does not hurt him, the rest is for coverage, agility makes him a possible late game sweeper, and it couldnt hurt to give him a speed boost. I think grass knot is somewhat necessary on every team, also so I threw it in.

Garchomp;445; @ razor fang
adamant/ 252 atk 252 spd 4hp
~dragon claw
~earthquake
~fire fang
~stone edge
standard Garchomp, fits well. pretty strong, also sand veil makes it work great in sandstorm as well. EQ doesnt fit in anywhere else, either, so that worked well. Rest is for coverage. Maybe stone edge could be changed out, in which case stone edge can be given to aerodactyl.

Lucario;448; @ choice band/choice scarf(not sure if I want power or revenge killer)
jolly/252 atk, 252 spd, 4hp
~close combat
~crunch
~thunder punch
~extremespeed
for Lucario choice set works perfectly for me...and now that I think about it choice band still lets it be revenge killer since it has extremespeed. Still want some opinions on that, please.close combat could be switched out for brick break incase they get in screens.

sandstorm set I think is great because not only will it not hurt any of my pokemon, but it will hurt theirs. It will also make some of my pokemon untouchable because of sand veil.

So what do you think?
(btw to anyone who noticed, I also posted this in ingame team rate, then realized that was for ingame, so now I'm posting it here. Sry mods xP)

Are you using this in ubers of standard> because garchomp is an uber.

ubers of standard? sry im new to wifi lol
I kno what most terms mean but not all, and besides I thought garchomp was OU

 

[Wizard of 'Cos]

When you say 'plz' instead of 'please' I feel justified in saying 'no' because it is shorter than 'yes'.

And he meant are you using this team in Ubers or Standard (Over Used). No sorry, Garchomp is Uber as of like 6 months ago.

then say no next time...
and id rather use it in standard, is that bad?

 

[Wizard of 'Cos]

It's not bad, it is against the rules of competitive play (banned from OU matches), so good luck trying to battle anyone.

well, that's kinda bad...so I have 5 pokemon on my team. New goal. Can I get suggestions on my team right now and what I need?

 

[ShadowBlaze15]

Well brightpowder is a banned item so you can't use it on cacturne

Garchomp @ razor fang
adamant/ 252 atk 252 spd 4hp
~dragon claw
~earthquake
~fire fang
~stone edge

Seeing as Garchomp is Uber, you can try using a Flygon instead if you're intent on using a Dragon/Ground type. Try this set:

Flygon@Choice Scarf
Jolly Nature
4 HP/ 252 Att / 252 Speed
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-U-Turn
-Fire Blast

Fairly simple to use. It's designed to hit and run. Earthquake and Outrage for STAB. U-Turn for scouting, Fire Blast for coverage on Steels. The disadvantage to using Outrage is that you're locked into it for 2-3 turns, so use it at your own discretion. While this is no Garchomp by any means, this thing is still a beast.

Is Gliscor a possibility? I know that has a sand veil, too.
Thinking
Gliscor @ razor fang/choice scarf
jolly, 252 atk 252 spd 4hp
~fire fang
~stone edge
~earthquake
~knock off(or toxic or whatever I can use, I don't know what to put there)

and I g2take out the bright powder, I guess...any other item I can put on cacturne maybe?

 

[Mat the Ranger]

I don't like the move sets but overall the pokemon are good except empolean and lucario.I don't like them,they were OHKO too easily <_<

well my plan for empoleon is to move it in on a pokemon that cannot hurt or handle at all due to not very effective moves, agility, then either attack or switch out.
And Lucario is going to be choice banded, so I think thats going to be for quick and easy takeouts.

What dont you like on the movesets? cuz they are not close to perfect, I know...but I'm like 100 percent new to this and dont even kno how to train them. Like I know how to but I think there's a way that takes less time, you know?
