DCM: The Sandstorm version.

[DCM]

This is a sandstorm team I have been testing out. Its mostly done, and working out well.

Hippowdown@Leftovers
252 HP / 152 Def / 100 SP Def
Curse
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Slack Off

My lead, hes...unexpected. First turn he Curses, and second turn its based upon the opponents move. Generally, I Try Slacking Off, or I curse again. Set up until desired, then sweep. Its fun

Cacturne@Bright Powder
252 Attack/252 Speed
Subsitute
Swords Dance
Focus Punch
Sucker Punch


Great in a Sandstorm. Subsitutes First turn, swords dance and either sucker punch or Focus Punch. Is a bugger to hit though

Lucario@Life Orb
252 Att/ 252 Speed
Swords Dance
Extreme Speed
Close Combat
Ice Punch

This is a fairly standard set. Extreme speed for priority, Close Combat for damage+STAB, Ice Punch to hit gliscor, Garchomp, and other dragons

Garchomp@Bright Powder
252 attack/252 speed
Outrage
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Stone Edge

General Sweeper. Hits hard on the physical Side, outrage was chosen over dragon claw just for pure power.

Gliscor@Bright Powder
252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
Ice Fang
Roost
Earthquake
U-Turn

Ice Fang and Earthquake for Coverage, Roost if Health Gets low, U-Turn anything you cant defeat.

Tyranitar@Leftovers
252 Attack/252 Speed
Dragon Dance
Aqua Tail
Earthquake
Crunch

Ooh. Physcial Sweeper. Again. The Moveset is for coverage, and one or two dragon Dances makes him unstoppable

I find it a little odd that you don't any Special Attackers. Or any Special Attacks at all. Couldn't that become a problem?

 

[DCM]

Oh My, you are indeed correct. Suggestions? I threw this together without thinking about it

 

[Squitle]

Magnizone would work well in here since its fine in Sandstorm and it can take care of those pesky Water types that walk all over Sandstorm teams. I saw an entire Sandstorm team taken down by a Gyarados before.

Or you can go Water with a Swampert or Quagsire but then you need to watch out for Grass types.

 

[The Outrage]

I don't see how a special attacker is at all necessary when not having one actually manages to make the opponent's Blissey useless.

YOu might aswell try Tyranniboah sets since you have a lot of SD sweepers.

 

[The Fool on the Hill]

Special Lucario is good, and doesn't take damage from Sandstorm.

 

[Wiilio]

If you do end up wanting Special Attackers, Lucario can run full special, Cacturne can run full special (although the set you have on it now is good as it is), Tyranitar can run full special or mixed (Tyraniboah), and Garchomp can run a mixed set (it's really just Draco Meteor over Outrage/Dragon Claw, and change the nature/EVs so it actually does a considerable amount of damage).
