Sand Team Build Guide: Excadrill Tyranitar Ursaluna

Yeah, that was the issue I was getting in as well, could a tailwind setter work though? Or would it be better to just make two teams

Would something like this work?

Coaching in sneasler isn’t really a thing add protect instead the rest seems ok

Thanks!

Now that we know the ability of excadrill, is it safe to assume that the mega won’t have the same synergy as it loses sand force, therefore another mega could be added to this team?

Mega t tar and focus sash excadrill seems to be the play

If I were to take sash for excadrill, what would whim get? As dire claw sneasler, of probably most poison moves would end it 😅

Poison moves won’t effect excadrill I think ? Or am I wrong ?

Mental herb is good on a bulky whimscott

I know, I meant poison would kill whimsicott :)

Oh definetly haha !
And yeah no bulk will save whimsi from a strong poison move

Mental herb to prevent taunt?

Yeah!

But their is a lot of snealzer at the moment

You do have a point

Yeah, thats why I gave it sash haha, so I get to setup a bit

I guess you’re stuck with sash for what you’re dealing with rn

So this is why teambuilding takes so long, taking a lot into consideration.

Life orb excadrill it is, will start testing with mega ttar then

Heaps ! One random thought I had idk if it works with your team is Corviknight

You’ll just need to play him carefully because he does get one tapped

Can also tailwind

Tailwind corv, which would mean I don’t need whimsicott

Haha same thought

Also has sync with sandstorm

Immune to eq

And no sandstorm damage

I just wanted to say the same, might take that into account

Corv is more popular in this experimental ladder for pre champions vgc then I swear it’s ever been

I’m going to build something with it

Bye whimsicott… for now at least

Yeah don’t commit just yet haha test it

But I run mental herb and I’ve been tainted only twice now

Getting more flinch’s from rockslide spam then anything else

Little bit of sleep

I haven’t had much time to test yet, mainly brainstorming between breaks at work, just as I am doing now

The list is weird I gotta keep looking at it to remind myself what available

Corviknight @ Leftovers
Ability: Mirror Armor
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 140 SpD /

• Brave Bird
• Body Press
• Tailwind
• Roost

same nice exists tho

This birb might do, need to tweak defenses probably

Or go with mental herb to prevent taunt

However as you said, it doesnt pop up much

Posted another team with trick room rain ursa utilizing mega gardevoir :D
