So i came across this sand team by the Sand Guy himself, Joseph Ugarte, and i really like it
https://pokebase.app/pokemon-champions/team-builder?team=6a06db1bed189d665f165790
Well its a bit outdated so i tried to improvise it and guess what i ended up with.
A standard, boring sand team.
Well if you guys have any suggestions or know how to make the team a bit more interesting, do let me know.

Leftovers and grassy terrain is an excellent combo for milotic but in considering the electric resist berry just so i can live a yaichu zap cannon and then fire a hypnosis in return. Idk if i should
, some advice maybe 🥲
idk
maybe i want to actually be able to some damage
if uh
if i cant hypnosis or the opponent is sleeping or sth
Lmao fair
Well i guess i always have incin for that competitive
Still think its a good idea to at least have some sp atk
And with the remaining points idk where to put them. Speed maybe
I considered this set
I generally prefer it actually
But i thought hypnosis would be good
If im using that set then im gonna change ice punch on ttar for dragon dance

You took out mimikyu💔 🥀
Had me excited for a sec 💔

Yeah lmao
I tried to make something different
But like
I considered literally every option
All roads leads to this
I could make something different
But its just gonna be a worse version of this team
I tried corv i tried hydreigon i tried rotom
Tried rilla
Rilla worked fine tbh
