Alright I've got this new team here. Honestly I've just put some random Pokemon together again without any strategy plans, but somehow it works well. So since it works pretty well can someone maybe give me a few suggestions how to make it better so it doesn't seem like a randomly thrown-together team ._.

Edit: there is a sandstorm team right below this one.

Lead:Metagross@Occa Berry
HP:252
ATK:236
DEF:12
SPE:8
Adamant
Clear Body

-Bullet Punch
-EQ
-Explosion
-Steal Rock

So it's pretty much a normal Lead-Gross. Although most battles I don't start out with the ever obvious SR, but I switch it around to either EQ or Bullet Punch if either move will do super effective damage.

???-Aerodactyl@Lefties
HP:80
ATK:100
SPE:176
SPDEF:154
Jolly
Pressure

-Sub
-Protect
-Roost
-Rock Slide

So far when it was used in battle it was OHKO'd or slowly worn down because of the pathetic RS accuracy and really has shown no good on this team. Will replace him if someone has a better suggestion.

Trick-Azelf@Choice Specs
HP:40
SPE:216
SPATK:252
Timid
Levitate

-Flamethrower
-Grass Knot
-Psychic
-Trick

Instead of U-Turn I put a Trick on this dude. It really pays off giving a wall Specs and without Specs this Azelf can OHKO Scizors, 2HKO Tars. I put a Trick one on here specifically to cripple walls but it does a damn good job at sweeping.

Standard Wall-Bronzong@Lefties
HP:252
ATK:86
DEF:80
SPDEF:92
Sassy
Levitate

-EQ
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion
-Stealth Rock

Similar to my Metagross huh. Well it is, but this thing, SOMEHOW, can actually pull off a small sweep -_- which is kinda sad. It's just here to wall the shit out of things and if Metagross's SR was blown away he sets it up. If things get serious I just explode on a sweeper trying to set up on me.

Physical Wall-Weezing@Lefites
HP:252
DEF:252
SPATK:4
Bold
Levitate

-Fire Blast
-Thunderbolt
-Will-O-Wisp
-Pain Split

Well it is what it is, a physical wall and pretty much walls all physical attackers in OU. Sometimes I don't even need Wisp to wall which is pretty funny. I put Wisp on it instead of Haze because most of the time when I Haze things they just set the fuck back up and I rather burn them then sit there all day Hazing until they sweep me.

Torment-Heatran@Lefties
HP:244
SPE:220
SPATK:32
SPDEF:12
Calm
Flash Fire

-Torment
-Sub
-Protect
-Lava Plume

OK so this set is by far my favorite Heatran set. I can just waltz in on a fire attack which boost Heatrans attack and then proceed to sub down on a incoming (Starmie, Gyara, Empoleon, Lucario, ETC) and then to test what move they wanna use I Protect and after I Torment, most of the time they have to struggle but I don't worry since I just Lava Plume until they die.

Any sort of tip or suggestion will be taken under consideration since this team, after all, started without any real strategy and has somehow proven to be good. I need to get Aero out of here so a replacement for him will be very good.

Sandstrom team below
Replacement for Metagross
Hippowdon@Lefties
HP:252
ATK:168
SPDEF:88
Impish
Sand Stream

-EQ
-Ice Fang
-Slack Off
-Stealth Rock

Does a good job at walling things. I just Slack Off whenever my health is low but basically I SR and try to take things down with EQ or Ice Fang. Also I like Ice Fangs freeze hax.

Replacement for Aerodactyl
Vaporeon@Lefites
DEF:188
SPE:68
SPATK:252
Modest
Water Absorb

-HP Electric
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Wish

I hate the standard Wallporeon so I made this set as a kind of Sweeper type. It's on this team just for Water Absorb and HP Elec stops Gyarados and other mons.

Replacement for Weezing
Gliscor@Lefties
HP:252
DEF:40
SPE:216
Impish
Sand Veil

-EQ
-Stone Edge
-Knock Off
-Roost

I still love my Weezing but this dude can wall things very well. If it encounters a Scizor it's pretty much DEAD. Knock Off pretty much just raped Choice Band Scizor and all of Scizors attacks are Not Very Effective. Plus Roost is there just to get back up to health.

So that's pretty much it for the sandstorm part. I still have very big trouble with Swamperts but any other Pokemon I can take care of. The things that give me most trouble are: Waterfall, Surf, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, Spore, Trick, Substitute, Gengars @_@, and I think that's it.

Sorry, i didnt see this thread. I will give a detailed rate in a bit.
I could see this functioning quite well as a sandstorm team.
If you do so, i suggest dropping Weezing for Gliscor. Really, there is no competition between the two. Gliscor has much better typing, a full recovery move, and if you choose for this to be a sandstorm team, gets the evasion boost.
If you do so, i would bump back metagross for a hippowdown. Stealth Rock on turn one, and you already have the added sandstorm, as well as beautiful Defense.
However, if you do so, you would need a good water resist. I would run Vaporeon or Suicine as a Special wall-ish pokemon. Vaporeon can also be great as a supporter, with wish pass.

Chill like a vill. I'll get to it when I have some free time.

Quick note though: That Aerodactyl set seems to rely heavily on the special defense boost he gains from a sandstorm. If you want to keep him, put a sandstorm pokemon on your team. Otherwise he just seems too fragile for this set to be worth it over an all out attacking set.
 
zomg thx guys. I'll try a Sandstorm team of this and will edit the first post if something good happens.
