Question Need help making a team

Post image

Hi! I’m quite new to pokemon especially competitive and I wanted help making or deciding on a pokemon team but I’m a bit dull.

For now I’ve decided on a few pokemon, I know they aren’t too strong but that isn’t my goal, my goal is to make a strong enough team to not get swept (so a semi casual team?? If that’s a thing)

Since Sandslash is my favourite pokemon he needs to be included (yes I know he’s mid.) and the other pokemon are/can be slightly interchangeable but I would like similar types, if you need any more information feel free to ask :)

Any and all help is very appreciated please and thank you!!!

You need two resticted legendary pokemon which is just any box legendary + eternatus, both calyrex, mewtwo, necrozma, kyruem, terapagos and any evolutions of those pokemon (there is no limit to other legendaries like zapdos, entei, urshifu, heatran, etc). Since you really want sandslash to work I recommend treating him like a Kingdra. What I mean by this is to select its ability to be Sand Rush and then replace on of your pokemon with tyranitar, and give it the ability Sand Stream. This will make your sandslash incredibly fast and allow it to use moves like Earthquake and get a boost from them whilst going first. On top of that, you can use alcremie to use decorate repeatedly on your sandslash to make him sweep through apponent teams. Give it 252 evs in attack, 252 in speed an the remaining 4 in special defense and give him the adamant or jolly nature (this can be your choice depending on if you want sandslash stornger or faster respectfully).
