Mega Metagross/Tyranitar Sandstorm

Doubles • Regulation Set M-B

Synergy

Tyranitar sets Sandstorm in both its base and mega forms, feeding Excadrill's Sand Rush sweep while letting Mega Metagross clean up with Tough Claws boosted contact moves. Grimmsnarl's Prankster screens and Foul Play protect the sweepers, and Sinistcha's Rage Powder redirects damage away from Sneasler while it looks for an Unburden speed spike.

Win Conditions

Tyranitar sets Sandstorm to unlock Excadrill's doubled Sand Rush speed or free up Mega Metagross's Tough Claws boosted attacks, while Sneasler's Unburden speed and Grimmsnarl's screens close out the game once a sweeper is loose.

Lead Options

Sneasler + Metagross, Tyranitar + Excadrill, Sneasler + Grimmsnarl

Threats

Rain teams that overwrite the sandstorm, Frostlass and Kingambit as answers to Mega Metagross, and Basculegion's coverage across the whole team.
