NickLetts Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) New to building teams and I made a Rain team and now building a Sand team. On my sand team, I have the following Pokemon, and was going to add Gengar, until I was told it loses Levitate soon. What are another 2 Pokemon that are good for this team? Tyranitar @ Chople Berry Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 220 Atk / 36 Def IVs: 0 Spe Adamant Nature - Rock Slide - Crunch - Low Kick - Protect Garchomp @ Yache Berry Ability: Rough Skin EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Protect Salamence @ Dragon Gem Level: 50 Ability: Intimidate EVs: 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Dragon Pulse - Flamethrower - Hidden Power Flying - Protect Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Level: 50 Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 158 SpD IVs: 0 Spe Relaxed Nature - Leech Seed - Toxic - Power Whip - Thunder Wave Edited June 29, 2020 by NickLetts Link to comment
hannahtaylor Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I would say a Rotom, I'm not completely knowledgeable in OU at the moment so I can't say which one but it seems to fit good and also has levitate. Link to comment
CaptnBaklava Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Played with the same core and added slowbro for the fighting weakness as well as scarfed magnezone but I'm not entirely sure with it. It helps trapping opposing steel types aswell against pelipper and togekiss. Edit: did not read correctly I used excadrill over garchomp cause I played the team pre sinnoh Edited June 29, 2020 by CaptnBaklava Link to comment

Zam isn't all that common, and you outspeed reuni, and still tank an unboosted focus blast if you're with those EV's. SE>rock slide, Superpower> Low kick, and make a choice for the last 2, Stealth rocks and a coverage move, albeit special or physical, can do fine there, depends on what you need. Quote Garchomp @ Yache Berry Ability: Rough Skin EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Protect No protect needed, especially since no lefties or the fact that you're not running any stall to benefit from the free protect turn. Make it a sdance set or a scarf revenge killer, both are rather op. Quote Salamence @ Dragon Gem Level: 50 Ability: Intimidate EVs: 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Dragon Pulse - Flamethrower - Hidden Power Flying - Protect Yikes, just no, why both flame and hp flying? Only thing hp flying would be more beneficial than the other 2 would be vs volcarona. If you fear volc so much, scarf jolly chomp can help you with that.And again, no need for protect, same situation as before. Kupokun 1 Link to comment
