Well, my last team went great on shoddy and i got bored using it so I decided to make another team. The whole strategy is to wither away the opponents Hp either slowly in the sandstorm or kill them quckly with my attackers. So, please rate away.(Ps.This is a shoddy team so the stats won't be posted.)

Bronzong@Leftovers
Ability:Levitate
Relaxed
EV's:252 hp/252 sp.def/ 6atk
-Stealth rock
-Gyroball
-Light screen
-Earthquake
You see, this guy has a huge weakness.Magnezones.I got rid of this weak spot by putting in earthquake.Gyro ball is for weaviles.Light screen is for support and stealth rock is for obvious reasons.

Clefable@Leftovers
Ability:MagicGaurd
Calm
EV's:152 def/252 hp/100 sp.def/4 spe
-Thunder wave
-encore
-softboiled
-seismictoss
Who ever heard of a blissey on a sandstorm team? Well this guy is just like blissey and doesn't get affected by sandstorm.What makes him better is that he can learn encore which is a pain in the neck to take down.Thunder wave is for status and he comes in on toxic spikes for the team.

Heatran@Expertbelt
Ability:Flashfire
modest
EV's:252 spatk/252 spe/6 hp
-Flamethrower
-earthpower
-hp. grass
-dragon pulse
My special sweeper and fire absorber. Now my Bronzong has no weaknesses (not taking into account gravity and mold breaker).Flamethrower is there for stab and can be deadly with his ability activated.Earth power, Hp grass, and dragon pulse are there for coverage so I gave him an expert belt.

Tyranitar@Lifeorb
Ability:Sandstream
Adamant
EV's:252 atk/252 spe/6 hp
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-taunt
-dragon dance
This guy sets up the sandstorm for all of my pokemon and is my physical sweeper. Taunt is to keep skarmory from whirlwinding my dragondances away.Earthquake and crunch are there for coverage and stab.

Donphan@Leftovers
Ability:sturdy
Impish
EV's:252 Def/252 hp/6 atk
-ice shard
-roar
-rapidspin
-earthquake
This is my rapidspinner and has a pretty useable attack stat. So now those dragons have to be a lot more careful switching in. Roar is there to rack up stealth rock damage.Earthquake is there for a form of offense just in case I get taunted.

Cradily@Leftovers
Ability:Suction cups
Careful
EV's:252 spdef/116 hp/140 atk
-Recover
-rock slide
-earthquake
-swordsdance
This monster of the sand (Gaara) is fierce in a sandstorm. Especially with a ton of special defence and swords dance. Recover is to heal off that damage and because of his ability skarmory won't be able to do his job.Earthquake and rockslide are for coverage.

Well from how isee it youve got just about everything covered but my opinion would be to put a lightning atack in there for good measure Its just a sujestion and my opinion dosent mater much but since nothing else is going on I felt like I needed to say something and by the way you nicknamed your crawdilly Gaara? wasent my first choise but thats a good pokemon to have his name especaly because crwdilly has a good defence.

Ps I named my starter pokemon larvitar Gaara because he was lonely and his defence stats were high and he always has a frown.

I guess I could put in a lightning attack but the only pokemon which can learn an electric attack are clefable, bronzong, and tyranitar.I figured out that clefable gets completely walled by ghost pokemon but I really need the other moves if he is going to do his job.And seismic toss gives him a more efficient way to attack Blisseys.Tyranitar is my physical atttacker so I can't put thunder bolt or thunder on him and Bronzong stays as my mixed wall so I can't take out any moves on him unless they can actually do something to magnezone and some other threats to him and my team.

If you want to wither away opponents with SS, then start with T-tar, not Bronzong. You also may want to consider Reflect over light screen on Bronzong, since you have EVd it all in Sp.Def. And rock types like T-tar get the Sp.Def. boost from SS.

I know.I accidentally put the pokemon in the wrong order and I'm too lazy to fix it know but light screen is there for bronzong to take the special fire attacks and magnezones thunder bolts before it takes a huge dent in its hp since magnezone's faster.But, I guess reflect is a possibility and it could help cradily take care of that unboosted defense.I'll have to think about it more.Thanks for the suggestion though.

No I don't think it's good simply beacuse CB/CSHeracross, CB/CSGallade, CBMachamp, Any Lucario, CSMedicham runs through your whole team. It's a problem that nearly every Sandstorm team have an amazing fighting weak.

You have a grand total of four pokemon weak to fighting, and I'd say that's the worst type to be weak too due to how common Heracross and Machamp are.

Bronzong gets 2HKO'd by CBHeracross/CBGallade/CBMachamp SDLucario
Clefable gets destroyed by any fighting moves.
Heatran gets destroyed by fighting moves.
Cradily gets destroyed by fighting moves.
Donphan may be able to switch in once but it can't switch in twice and so it dies.
T-Tar gets DESTROYED by any fighter and it's slow too.

To stop this fighting weak, put Gliscor in over Donphan and maybe Gyarados over Clefable.

So, uh. I have a Swampert. How will you kill it qithout taking ridiculous damage?

Heatran can't switch in, Cradily can't really hurt it without a lot of set up, TTar eats STAB EQ, Bronzong can't hurt it (or get hurt, but that's another story), Donphan takes Waterfall/Surf.

Really, this team relies a lot on Clefable's encore, and Clefable isn't *that* durable.

Swampert could actually take out Bronzong if it packed hydro pump, so yeah you also have a Swampert weak.

i don't think swampert's hydro pump is really going to be a problem because of light screen and his average or below average(I don't remember) special attack stat.earthquake has no effect on bronzong.Really all I have to worry abot is a swampert carrying hammer arm.Here's two problem if I switch out donphan for gliscor,I lose a spinner and a psuedo hazer.I have to think of something else.I can switch it for a fortress because it can rapidspin but it can't take fighting tpe attack well.

Magnezone weakness is not completely removed. what if the magnezone is faster and uses magnet rise? Then you can't hurt it at all. There really is nothing you can do about that, just don't assume that you will definitely defeat all magnezone.

Also have more than one sandstormer.

that is 3 special walls, and 1 physical wall. 4/6 for defense, maybe drop one for another attacker, perhaps a chomp? Not using chomp in the sand = sin.
