Dumaco Sand

WeatherStar Player: Excadrill

Sand Stream plus Sand Rush is the tempo engine: Excadrill threatens double-target rolls while Tyranitar and Kingambit anchor the slow game. Dragonite and Primarina give you flexible damage profiles so you are not locked into one win condition when the field gets weird.

Gameplan

Opening

Lead Tyranitar with Excadrill when you want sand immediately and can afford the typing preview — Protect reads matter because Excadrill often closes games once Speed doubles.

Mid-game

Rotate Incineroar for Fake Out and Intimidate when you need to steal a turn; Primarina checks Dragons and Fighting stacks that sand cores hate.

End-game

Save Kingambit for late-game trades — Sucker Punch punishes faster cleaners after sand chip adds up.
