    First off, if this is in the wrong section, let me know...

    I've been working on a Sandstorm team for a bit now, and I have a pretty good idea of what I want to include. I intend to use this for both the Battle Subway (Double Battles) and possibly the PWT. So far, I have these prepared:

    [​IMG]
    Hippowdon (still training)
    Ability: Sand Stream
    Nature: Brave
    Moveset: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Crunch (to be replaced with Ice Fang), Slack Off
    [​IMG]
    Landorus (still training)
    Ability: Sand Force
    Nature: Naughty
    Moveset: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Brick Break (will replace with U-Turn once acquired), Bulk Up
    [​IMG]
    Excadrill Lv. 85
    Ability: Sand Rush
    Nature: Adamant
    Moveset: Drill Run, Iron Head, X-Scissor, Sandstorm (as backup)
    [​IMG]
    Gliscor Lv. 85
    Ability: Sand Veil
    Nature: Jolly
    Moveset: Earthquake, Acrobatics, Stone Edge, undecided move

    I'm working on getting a Ferrothorn as a possible wall and to counter Water-types, as well as a Spike layer. I was considering adding Shuckle because of it's walling abilities as well as access to Stealth Rock. Shuckle also isn't deathly afraid of Fire. A mixed Lucario set could be viable. Metagross could replace Landorus if I wanted to. I could also run a Sand Rush Stoutland for some variation...

    All I'm looking for is a little feedback. Would what I have prepared be useful in the Battle Subway and/or the PWT? What could I add or replace?

    My main problem is that I don't have access to a lot of the items that would make this team stand out. I don't have any Choice items, a Life Orb, or... well, anything else you've listed. I'm still scrounging around for a Flying Gem for Gliscor. I can give Landorus an Expert Belt. Hippowdon may have Leftovers, seeing as it's built like a tank and soak up physical attacks.
    I can replace Excadrill or Gliscor with any of these:
    [​IMG]
    Nature: Quirky
    Ability: Iron Fist
    Moveset: Shadow Punch, Earthquake, Drain Punch, Ice Punch
    [​IMG]
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Intimidate
    Moveset: Earthquake, Crunch, Stone Edge, Outrage (may change)
    [​IMG]
    Nature: Lax
    Ability: Clear Body
    Moveset: Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Earthquake, Hammer Arm (may switch for Magnet Rise)

    Again, these are just what I have on-hand. I can easily get an Adamant Golurk or Moxie Krookodile.

    You can easily get the items you require at the PWT, I believe. Choice Items can be found at either PWT or Subway, or traded. This is the same for the Flame, Life and Toxic Orbs. Also, if you're in B2 (ie, not W2) you can get a Toxic Orb from Reversal Mountain.

    You can find the Air Balloon in Driftveil City in B2/W2, and Flying Gems can be found randomly in dust clouds (Repel helps I think) or one in Mistralton City.

    I don't think any of your team needs replacing with those 3. Swapping the movesets and EVs around of your current team is fine :)
