I'll be in a small gen 5 tourney and i'm thinking of playing a sandstorm team. Now, since we will only be playing gen 5 pokemon i need a good lead. No one in gen 5 has the ability sand stream and thats a problem... Any ideas on who would be a good lead to start sandstorm? The pokemon i have ready are;

Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Reuniclus, Carracosta, Crustle and Archeops.

Which two (at least two) are the best to have sandstorm and who should be the lead?


 
^Well they still aren't gen 5 pokemon... I do wish that it worked like that but it don't (at least from what i'we heard). So i can only use pokemon only available in the unova region.

 
Ok, then that should be a fun challenge.

Go with gigalith, terakion, landorus, reunclus excadrill and other like that.
Gigalith can set up you sandstorm, and is sure to survive atleast one hit.

Terakion is one of you main sweepers. It can kill with its grea speed and attack. Also gets a sp def boost in sand.

Landorus is you strong ground type pokemon wcich loves its STAB, sand boosted earthquake.

Reuclus wont get hurt by sand and provides a unique typing, special attack power and access to a non hurt life orb.

Excadrill is your man sweeper. Have it learn sandstorm for a quick set up if your original sandstorm peters out. It can hit pretty hard with eq and other naturally strong moves.

You can really use another defensive pokemon such as ferrothorn. Great towards the beginnning of the game and can set up more sandstorm, spikes and/or leech seed.

Because you dont have access to either tyranitar or hippowdon, you need to make sure you have 2 or 3 pokemon that can sandstorm for a while.
 
OK, I have some pokemon up and ready and i'm just wondering about Terakion a move-set. I have a jolly so far UT terakion and will Ev train it in speed and attack. But what moves should it have, my try is. Earthquake, Sacred sword, stone edge and sword dance. Sounds good?
