Introduction:​
Well, I took a break from VG, until a few guys left the meta. Upon my return, most of my old teams, such as; a Gatr Team in which I had mastered, got boring, and was shifted out of meta. I began to search for new tiers, fun ways to play, and a more interesting VG experience. I didn't like NU, or UU. RU, was always a favorite, but no one played that, so I went straight to Dream World. I began to read around sites, with Dream World tiers, and Speed Tiers. I noticed a few guys in particular that were just so hyped, every team had them. One of them was Chandelure. That became the star of this team. He's the only veteran in a band full of young ones.

With him, I began to think of amazing techs, and teammates for him. That is where sandstorms came. With that, I'd like you to see the team.

In Depth:​

Gastrodon-Ea (Gastrodon-East) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 140 Def / 252 SAtk / 116 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Muddy Water
- Icy Wind
- Earth Power
- Recover
Team Use:
Gastrodon is there as my water resistance. He can absorb that attacks, and then hit back much harder. Icy wind is for those pesky little dragons, that like to become the lead, almost always 2HKO'ing them, or even OHKO'ing them. Recover keeps him in the game, long enough to do his damage. He's the backup sweeper if I were ever to need him.

Tyranitar (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
Team Use:
Tyranitar is my weather inducer. He can come in, get sand going, set up Stealth Rocks, he also can hit that pesky little Chandelure harder than my old hippo could. Crunch takes care of Gengar, very nicely. Pursuit keeps them from retreating, so that you can pull up Chandelure and attack harder. Superpower gives Ferrothorn a run for it's money. I've gotten loads of crap, from people saying that Tyranitar should be lead, but then what happens against rain teams? Yes, their weather comes after mine. This makes anti-weather teams much weaker also. I get rid of their sand counter, then boom, SAND BABY!

Landorus (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Sand Force
EVs: 228 Atk / 28 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Team Use:
Landorus Replace Excadrill, making this team OU. He was a great sweeper when I used him with Excadrill, and now he's even better on his own. I use guys like Chandy, and T Tar to spread around damage, and make sure that they cannot KO Landorus. HP Ice 2HKO's those dragons, that were a huge threat to my team. He can also U-Turn if he's in trouble, to some one that has water/grass resistance.

Jellicent (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs:
Hardy Nature
- Water Spout
- Shadow Ball
- Surf
- Energy Ball
Team Use:
Jellicent is another water counter. Making use of Sands arch-enemy, Rain. Rain gives Jellicent more power, and with Water spout, Jellicent does loads'o'damage.
Damage Calcs:
Water Spout vs 4 HP / 252 SpD Calm Blissey: 40.81% - 48.29%
Water Spout vs 112 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-W: 79.18% - 93.31%
Water Spout vs 4 HP / 0 SpD Latios: 68.54% - 81.13%
Water Spout vs 252 HP / 208 SpD Ferrothorn: 47.44% - 55.97%
Water Spout vs 0 HP / 0 SpD Virizion: 56.04% - 65.94%
Water Spout vs 252 HP / 0 SpD Reuniclus: 121.70% - 143.16%
Water Spout vs 28 HP / 252 SpD Calm Wobbuffet: 85.23% - 100.57%
Water Spout vs 252 HP / 192 SpD Sassy Tyranitar (Sand): 75.74% - 89.60%
Water Spout vs 252 HP / 92 SpD Ninetales (Sun): 78.86% - 93.14%
Shadow Ball vs 252 HP / 0 SpD Latias: 70.88% - 84.07%
Shadow Ball vs 220 HP / 0 SpD Celebi: 80.81% - 95.96%
With this, I can actively get rid of major threats to my team. As Rotom-W Takes a huge chunk out of my team, I can 2HKO it. Ferrothorn has weakness to most of if not all of my team, so It hurts him to. This is why I have Jellicent (and Bippa told me too thanks :D)

Chandelure (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
Team Use:
Chandelure is to trap, and kill. He can trap other rock types, Sub, and CM up, and then Energy Ball! He also has Shadow Ball for Gengar. Chandy can also be an annoyance, keeping in guys, that really cannot do damage to him. This makes them Rage, more than I thought it would. Eventually his SPa gets so high, he can almost OHKO everything, and not much can KO him. This is exactly why he is on my team.

Tornadus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Hurricane
- Hammer Arm
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn
Team Use:
Tornadus, comes in to hit very nicely with Hurricane. I've played with this set before, and it's very haxy. I usually confuse them, then they kill themselves. Eventually they begin to just switch, and get confused more. He spreads damage around more than anyone on my team. HP Ice gets rid of those annoying dragons again, this allows him almost flawless coverage. Hammer Arm for Magnezone, and that's a huge threat for him. This is the set I'm most proud of.

Threat List:​
Comin Soon!​

That's the Team, hope you all like it. Thanks for all the help.​
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

Nice team! by the looks of it, Genesect will probably be Uber or OU... havent seen its base stats. But bug/steel sp atker is pretty sweet.
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

It will be ubers, I've been testing all day, and it hits really hard when it can. Thanks.
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

I don't really feel your team needs two scarfers, or three choiced Pokemon for that matter. I'd suggest dropping Terrakion for a Water-resist, because as it stands right now, you have five Pokemon weak to Water without a single resist or immunity. I'd like to drop more Pokemon to further fix this problem, however I feel this would be a complete remake of your team.

You say you have Hippo > TTar because "I chose him over Tyranitar, because of biased reasons the fact that he has most of the same moves, besides Pursuit, and doesn't have that weakness to Psychic, Dark, or Ghost types. This makes his much better against the common sight of Chandelure." This is completely false. TTar isn't weak to Psychic, Ghost, or Dark (in fact he's imune to the former and resists the latter two), and performs better against Chandelure thanks to its typing and Sp. Def under Sandstorm. I'd really suggest dropping Hippodown for Tyranitar. Hippo just seems like a bad choice in Dream World with the terrible Sp. Def.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower

Instead of Scarf Chandelure, who is rather mediocre compared to Genesect, I recommend SubCM as it abuses Shadow Tag to the fullest. It won't sweep an entire team, but it will weaken up the opposing team so that Excadrill or Landorus can sweep freely.

Chandelure (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower / Hidden Power Fighting

On the subject of Genesect for Ubers, all I can say is no. It's an amazing scarfer. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

I don't mind tiers much, but I wouldn't use it bc its event only. I looked at ur team again and i think Flamethrower on Chandelure might be better than overheat, bc switching with it an stealth rocks can be an issue.
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

TDL:
Thanks, I'll take all that into consideration

Luxray :D
Flamethrower hits a lot less harder. I had major issues with it, until Shadow Scyther pointed that out. By the way, Stealth Rocks isn't an issue at all on my team. I've tested against it. Thanks though
 
RE: (Dream World) Grey Fiction, A Band of Young Rockers!

I don't really think you need Landorus, because Chandelure removes the awful Skarmory and Gliscor that wall Excadrill, as well as Breloom, which basically means that Excadrill can sweep unhindered. Replacing it with a Jellicent will help you greatly, because it stops the main sweeper of Rain teams, Keldeo. I would still try to fit in one more water resistance though.

You'd be better off running Rapid Spin on Excadrill, instead of X-Scissor. Everything that X-Scissor would hit harder gets hit by Chandelure, and Chandelure loves Spin support, especially with a Scarf Set.
 
Well guys, this team got revamped, and is now OU. Thanks to everyone that has helped so far. Anymore people to come tear it apart to help??
 
Leftovers on Gastrodon will heal much more damage than Sitrus Berry will.

Jellicent needs a nature that has some effect. The Utility Counter set is much better than the Specs Jellicent set, so I'd switch to that.

Chandelure with Shadow Tag isn't released, so you can't use it in OU. I would run Flamethrower instead of Energy Ball for double STAB.

Tornadus with Hurricane should only be used on rain teams, because relying on a 70% move as your only STAB isn't reliable at all. I would use a Calm Mind Virizion instead, because it beats rain teams.

Landorus (M) @ Eviolite

EVs: 228 Atk / 28 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Wut
 
It was a misclick, I thought I told you that on PO...

I'm gonna update this after about 5 min of testing. Thanks for all the help guys.
 
There's a set on Landorus that I've used, and it's really useful once you get the hang of it.

Moves are Earthquake, Rock Slide, Protect, Imprison. Shuts down almost everything on another sandstorm... not that you would be needing to counter those, but hey, just throwing that set out there. Make sure it has max speed!
 
Isn't Ice Beam a superior option to Icy Wind?? Or do you really need that speed drop? This is just from a quick glance at the team, there might be other things that could be done to improve this.
 
Icy Wind is just a preference with this team. I do need the speed drop though, it has helped before.

Thanks :D
