Oops, i meant for the title to be sandy team, not snady team. oh well, without further ado, here is my sandstorm wifi battling team:
question marks around something signal that it is temporary, and changeable quickly.

Tyrannitar

- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Stone Edge / Crunch
Item : ?Chople Berry?/Leftovers
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 180 Spd
Adamant

OR

Hippowdown

- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Evs: 252 HP/ 168 Defense/ 88 Sp Def

Those two are up for spot one. The next five are relatively set:

Swampert

- Curse
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Waterfall / Rest
Item Attached: ???
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SDef
Relaxed

Magnazone

- Substitute
- Magnet Rise
- Thunderbolt
- HP(grass)
Item Attached: Leftovers
172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest
Magnet Pull

Gliscor

- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance
- Roost
Item Attached: ???
Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish

Lucario

- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Substitute / Dragon Pulse / Psychic
Item Attached: Expert Belt
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid

Shuckle

- Rest
- Encore
- Toxic
- Knock Off
Item Attached: Leftovers
Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SDef
Bold


My sandstorm team. Ttar come in first to ddance sweep as many pokemon as possible. this is where the hardest pokemon will likely be overcome and defeated. Next pokemon will depend on what my opponent has out, but it will likely be gliscor. shuckle is there to hold out an wear down opponents with toxic at the same time as sandstorm, KOing them fast, even if they leftovers/a healing move. lucario is a special sweeper, not much to say there, and swampert is my bulky water. Finally, magnazone is there to take out the rock/ground/steel types that will try to counter the sandstorm. I really need help with the items and moves that have two choices(eg: Stone Edge / Crunch).

Re: snady team

i would recommend either a focus sash or chople berry for T-tar, so it can get at least one Dragon Dance up, but that's just my opinion

maybe, but i'll take a chance that the opponent's first pokemon won't be fighting. but for now that'll work.
 
Re: snady team

Dragon Dance T-tar is really not as good as he looks on paper.
Trust me, i have used it extensively before trashing it.
Its apalling base 61 speed is murdered by its common weaknesses make it far more efficient as a late game sweeper, after you scout for the teams counters to him.

also, shuckle is not very effective as a wall as it seems. i recommend bumping down T-tar and using hippowdown lead.

A good set for a sandstorm setup, but you should also look into something that can set up entry hazards. Maybe a look or two at hippowdon?

Swampert

- Curse
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Waterfall / Rest
Item Attached: ???

Good.

Magnazone

- Substitute
- Magnet Rise
- Thunderbolt

Modest
Magnet Pull

If you're running a substitute set, i'd recommend leftovers.

Gliscor

- Earthquake
- Ice Fang / Stone Edge
- Taunt
- Roost
Item Attached: ???
Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish

Gliscor is usually a decent attacker who can take some hits. i'd suggest swords dance out for taunt, fire fang out for ice fang / stone edge, and give it leftovers

Lucario

- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Substitute / Dragon Pulse / Psychic
Item Attached: Expert Belt
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid

Good.

Shuckle

- Rest
- Encore
- Toxic
- Knock Off

It's a decent sandstorm team, but i suggest putting scizor in there at some point. The added special defense boost from sandstorm makes it a bitch to OHKO with fire type attacks.

Re: snady team

can't give two pokemon leftovers. item clause.
I'll consider a hippowdon if someone gives me a good sweeper setup for it.

why does it have to be a good sweeper?
Item Clause is never, ever enforced.
i recommend (if you want one that can bite back)
Hippowdown@Leftovers
252 Attack/252 Defense
Curse
Slack Off
Earthquake
Ice Fang

or you could use the much better..

Hippowdown@Leftovers
252 HP/ 168 Defense/ 88 Sp Def
Impish
Slack Off
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Toxic

Sets up Stealth Rock, uses toxic. Slack off the damage recieved, Earthquake for STAB
and yes, it cant hit flying pokemon.
thats why you have six pokemon, not one.

i like the second one, but i'm still thinking about a ddance ttar.
 
Well, clearly, 1337R34P3R did not, so I was just clearing it up.
