Need Direction for Sand-Trick Room VGC Team

Mostly, I want a way to make a combination of sandstorm and trick room work, and I figure with the life orb back in play that Reuniclus can be a good stepping stone to accommodate both

It was to cover for Grass weak Pokemon before I added Sinistcha

Would Houndstone work as a Lycanroc replacement since Ttar-Steelix is a core built with Zard Y in mind

Plus Chomp’s natural good matchup into Zard Y?

I suppose Lycanroc isn’t reliant on sand as much as Houndstone would be, though it would help alleviate the fighting weaknesses currently plaguing the team

Tested this team three times in casuals, felt really good, never needed to actually bring in Ttar he was always in the back, or Lycanroc at all. Might consider Chople Berry on Ttar to survive Low Kick from Mega Ttar and Kingambit, if the focus is on one Mega. Incin/Chomp lead vs Whim/Zard Y lead is stupidly one sided, and between Disguise and Fake Out support Mimikyu gets trick room up more reliably than I thought.

Ok so um

Don't use mega steelix cuz as cool as he is life orb sheer force steelix hits harder and its not a good mega to combine with ttar defencively

Which matters given they are both kinda sluggish

I’m not sure I follow
Take the Life Orb off of Mimikyu, give it to Steelix, make Ttar my sole Mega, and give Mimikyu what? Mental Herb?

My idea is two variant sand modes; one in Trick Room and one without, using Chomp and Lycanroc for the faster version, and Steelix and Mimikyu for the other.

No no

I meant to try find another secondary mega or just replace steelix all together

Cuz they both share fighting, ground and water weaknesses while both being somewhat bulky and slow (atleast to begin with) and both being physical attackers weak to intimidate

They don't rly have good synergy

Mawile would prob fit similarly while the only weakness they would share is ground

Mawile is good ye

I’ll consider Mawile, just gotta dig her out the box
