I'll finally present you my sand offense team I made about 2 months ago, which was the most successful sand team I've ever made. After Landorus-I's ban, I expect this team to perform even better as Landorus-I could wipe the floor with my team if it managed to use Rock Polish and Weavile was dead.

The team at a glance

A closer look

lol (Tyranitar) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 76 Spd / 180 HP
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Stone Miss
- Earthquake
- Pursuit

Tyranitar is the base of the team, because it provides the sand necessary for Stoutland to clean up. With a Choice Band, Tyranitar reaches a jaw-dropping 604 Attack. Stone Miss allows it to OHKO or 2HKO almost everything that does not resist it. Crunch OHKOes Jellicent, which is a common switch-in on Tyranitar thinking it's the specially defensive variant and thus burning it, and it's also a reliable attack that I use when I'm not feeling lucky. Earthquake takes care of many steel-types, including Jirachi, and OHKOes Terrakion. Finally Pursuit allows Tyranitar to check Latios, Latias, Gengar and other ghost-types and psychic-types, trapping them.

You Don't Say? (Gothitelle) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Trick
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Gothitelle is one of the three members of the team that carries a Fire-type attack. The reason for this is because I ****ing hate that ******* Ferrothorn, especially in rain, where it's ridiculously hard to take down. It also traps Politoed and Ninetales and 2HKOes Politoed with Thunderbolt. As for Ninetales, I spam Psychic for the 3HKO. Trick absolutely destroys Ferrothorn, Jellicent, Forretress, Skarmory, you name it. Hidden Power Fire OHKOes that ****ing Ferrothorn, while also 2HKOing Forretress and Skarmory. It's also Gothitelle's strongest option against Jirachi, which is another big threat to the team. That Shadow Tag ability really helps Gothitelle beat some other threatening members to my team, such as Focus Sash Mamoswine.

Mrs. G&W (Latias) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 HP / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Roost
- Hidden Power [Fire]

I love Latios and I'd use it on my team, but some genius from GameFreak decided to invent a creature that looks like a My Little Pony character. Yes, I'm talking about Keldeo. Latios is not a reliable counter because it is 2HKOed by Specs Hydro Pump in the rain and Hidden Power Ghost. As a result, I'm using Latias, which is a pretty good check to Keldeo, avoiding the 2HKO from Specs Icy Wind and OHKOing it with a Psyshock. Draco Meteor is that overpowered attack that allows Latias to hit any non-steel-type/Chansey/Blissey for major damage. Roost keeps Latias in good shape, while Hidden Power Fire is for that stupid Ferrothorn and it also hits Jirachi. Also, Latias synergizes well with Cobalion. She and Cobalion actually make an awesome defensive core, with her covering all of Cobalion's weaknesses(though Latios also does that).
If Keldeo gets banned, I will immediately replace her with Latios. I hope Keldeo becomes Uber, because I hate that thing, it's so overpowered it's not even funny.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/638.gif
DERP! (Cobalion) @ Life Orb
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 228 SAtk / 28 Atk
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Stealth Rock
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Cobalion is very underrated. It's the lure of the team and also the one who sets up Stealth Rock. Because it is so rare, I love how Gliscor and Landorus-T switch in only to get OHKOed by Hidden Power Ice. Combined with Volt Switch, it creates a weaker BoltBeam combination that only Magnezone resists, but Magnezone doesn't enjoy Close Combat so yeah. It's awesome base 129 Defense also makes Cobalion pretty sturdy on the physical side, so it forms a defensive duo with Latias as she has that 130 base special defense. Cobalion also resists Dark-, Ghost-, Ice-, Bug- and Dragon-type moves aimed at Latias, which makes him an awesome partner for her.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/508.gif
Crap Land (Stoutland) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Fire Fang
- Superpower
- Wild Charge

The MVP of the team. With a Choice Band, Stoutland becomes a powerful revenge killer in sand, as well as the cleaner. Return is very powerful and seriously dents anything that does not resist it. Fire Fang is yet another Fire-type attack used solely for Ferrothorn and Jirachi, and it also OHKOes Scizor, which is a common switch-in. Superpower dents steels, blah blah blah. And then there's Wild Charge. It's Stoutland's best option against Ghost-types, nails Skarmory, OHKOes Gyarados and threatens Tornadus and Politoed.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/461.gif
lolmamoswine (Weavile) @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Pursuit
- Night Slash
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick

Because Mamoswine is ugly, I will use Weavile. Please don't ask me to remove it, because Mamoswine simply does not work on this team as it has way too many weaknesses and it would make the team weak to Terrakion(No, Latias is not a counter to Terrakion, Choice Band Stone Edge and X-Scissor OHKO her). Cloyster can't really set up in this metagame, and Kyurem-B is just too slow. Weavile is the backup Pursuiter and also beats dragons, like non-ExtremeSpeed packing Dragonite (although it should be noted that Weavile can take one +1 ExtremeSpeed), Salamence, Garchomp, Haxorus, Lati@s, etc. Night Slash is Weavile's reliable STAB and Low Kick OHKOes Terrakion (I've seen a lot of people switching in Terrakion on Weavile), Magnezone, offensive Heatran and 2HKOes Ferrothorn and many other steel-types.

And here's how I got 1900:

THREAT LIST

Minor threat: Green
A bit annoying: Lime
Mediocre threat: Yellow
Major threat: Orange
Huge threat: Red
Enormous threat: Indigo

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/598.gif Ferrothorn
Standard: If you've ever thought Dawn's Piplup was the most annoying thing to embrace the Pokemon world, think again. He was the most annoying thing back in Gen 4. However, Black and White came in September 2010 and brought with them this ridiculous thing, which not only looks ugly, but it's also extremely irritating to face. At first it was called Natorrei, then eventually it became Ferrothorn.
Almost all members of the team carry super effective moves against Ferrothorn. And yet it is annoying, especially in rain. It just won't die thanks to Leech Seed, Protect, an absolutely amazing typing defensively and a move called either Stealth Rock or Spikes. Its base 94 Attack stat is not that bad either, allowing it to hit Tyranitar or Weavile hard with Gyro Ball or Power Whip. Oh yeah, and there's also Thunder Wave, which seriously cripples Stoutland, Latias, Cobalion and Weavile. I despise Ferrothorn so much because even when you're fully prepared for it, it might still annoy you. While I do have Gothitelle to remove Politoed, if it's the Specs variant I'm OHKOed by Hydro Pump and then have to switch to Tyranitar, and Specs Politoed, when used by good players, usually switches out... Ferrothorn is annoying even in sand because it can make Leech Seed, Iron Barbs and sandstorm damage stack. Cobalion is usually what I use to take on Ferrothorn, but I might resort to the three Pokemon carrying Fire-type attacks, or even Weavile if it's weakened. However, absolutely no move my team uses OHKOes Ferrothorn in the rain, which says something. This thing is absolutely overpowered and needs to go to Uber.
Choice Band: Kinda annoying considering how rare it is. Cobalion pretty much walls it (I do need to look out for Bulldoze, though). However, it's once again irritating to face if it's raining, because it's still hard to take out (even though it doesn't have the bulk Standard Ferro has) and it's actually pretty strong. I think 2/3 of my team is OHKOed by Gyro Ball.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/212.gifScizor
Choice Band: OHKOed by Hidden Power Fire from Latias and Gothitelle. If Scizor switches on Weavile or Tyranitar, switch to Cobalion.
Bulky Swords Dance: Revenge killed by Latias 81.25% of the time, who is able to take a +2 Bullet Punch. Gothitelle can also OHKO it.
Offensive Swords Dance: Scizor will usually come on Weavile, which 2HKOes with Low Kick. However, that will allow Scizor to get the Swords Dance and OHKO with Bullet Punch after taking 15% from Ice Shard. After that, Cobalion can come in and KO with Close Combat. However, Offensive Swords Dance Scizor is actually a huge threat because Weavile tends to switch out when Scizor comes into play, thinking it's the Choice Band variant. Additionally, if Scizor has Brick Break, it's pretty much gg as Cobalion is cleanly OHKOed. Latias and Gothitelle are both wiped out by +2 Bullet Punch, and Stoutland has a ~15% chance of surviving, which becomes 0% if Stealth Rock has been set up. It's also gg if Cobalion is dead when Scizor sets up.
Choice Scarf: A very effective lure. It's revenge killed by Stoutland in the sand.
Trapper: OHKOed by Latias and Gothitelle, which makes me laugh out loud since this set is actually supposed to trap and beat them.
Baton Pass: Never saw one of these.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/186.gif Politoed
Defensive: I once got muted on the chat for saying "WHY DO PEOPLE USE DEFENSIVE POLITOED, Specs Politoed is better". Defensive Politoed is horrible imo. Gothitelle 2HKOes it with Thunderbolt.
Choice Specs: It can take one Thunderbolt and OHKO Gothitelle with Hydro Pump, and then I have to switch Tyranitar in and KO it with Pursuit, since the 76 EVs in Speed allow it to outspeed uninvested base 70s.
Choice Scarf: Even 0/0 Politoed can take one Thunderbolt and 2HKO with Hydro Pump, but this time it outspeeds Gothitelle as well. However, it's called Hydro Miss, so I might have a chance of surviving. It can be revenge killed.
Special Attacker: No Life Orb means Gothitelle can take care of it.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/149.gif Dragonite

Offensive Dragon Dance: To tell the truth, I've never got swept by a Dragonite. If Stealth Rock is set up, switch to Weavile as he uses Dragon Dance, as it can take one +1 ExtremeSpeed and OHKO with Ice Shard. If SR is not set up I have to perform some switching shenaningans. Sand cripples its Multiscale which is nice. I might stay in with Latias or Tyranitar and use Stone Edge or Draco Meteor respectively, then switch to Cobalion. Stoutland might revenge kill it if it's still at +1.
Choice Band: If it locks itself into Outrage, then Weavile with Ice Shard or Cobalion.
Substitute + Dragon Dance: Can't really set up if SR is down. Cobalion can OHKO with Hidden Power Ice, Latias with Draco Meteor, Weavile with Ice Shard, and so on. If SR is not down, Weavile can still outspeed Dragonite at +1.
Multiscale Shuffler: I hate this one. Paralysis destroys my entire team and Dragon Tail makes my life hellish in conjunction with entry hazards. Weavile can OHKO with Ice Shard after SR, but I have to get it in, which isn't that easy. Especially when Substitute's around.
Rain Attacker: Latias can 2HKO with Draco Meteor while tanking Hurricanes pretty well.
Tank (Rain): A bit annoying, since Dragon Tail actually deals some damage to Latias. Tyranitar can take care of this one.
Tank: Damn paralysis. Other than that, fairly easy to take out.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/385.gif Jirachi

Although I carry so many super effective attacks against it, Jirachi is actually one of the biggest threats to my team because it's often accompanied by rain, and Choice Band Earthquake might fail to OHKO some variants even after Stealth Rock damage (not to mention Tyranitar is slower and thus might succumb to paraflinch).
Specially Defensive: Arghhhhh. This one's annoying as hell. Even if I win the weather war, I have to either Trick it a pair of Choice Specs, or try to damage it with my three Pokemon carrying Fire-type attacks, which don't deal that much due to its ridiculous special defense. Tyranitar might OHKO it with Earthquake after Stealth Rock damage.
Substitute + Calm Mind: This one's also irritating. Even in sand SubCM Jirachi can still be a pain as it actually outspeeds my Gothitelle. However, Tyranitar can actually beat it as it doesn't take much from Thunder and Water Pulse, and even Flash Cannon can't really 2HKO if Jirachi hasn't had the chance to boost. In return, Tyranitar can 2HKO with Earthquake.
Choice Scarf: This one is fairly weak and only Cobalion really detests being tricked a Choice Scarf. Still hate that 60% chance to flinch, but Stoutland actually outspeeds it in the sand.
Superachi! (Offensive CM): Tyranitar can barely take one Grass Knot and OHKO with Earthquake.
Substitute + Status: Very annoying if it hides behind a Substitute. If it has Toxic, it's less painful, but if it has Body Slam... again, a 32% chance of moving every turn. I'll have to break its sub and then revenge kill it, which isn't really that easy... Tyranitar can take care of it with Earthquake.
Mixed Attacker: This one is actually pretty easy. Latias can 2HKO it with Hidden Power Fire.
Wish + Calm Mind: A bit annoying because of the parafusion, but Tyranitar can 2HKO with Earthquake while not taking too much damage from its attacks.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/485.gifHeatran

Choice Scarf: A very good revenge killer as it can outspeed even Latias and 2HKO her with Dragon Pulse. Tyranitar can take care of this one as it doesn't really fear Fire Blast. Also, Weavile outspeeds and OHKOes with Low Kick (guaranteed after Stealth Rock damage, as this Heatran invests 112 EVs into HP).
Defensive: Gothitelle can Trick it a pair of Choice Specs, and then switch to Tyranitar. Weavile can KO a 75% Heatran with Low Kick, and weakening Heatran isn't that hard considering it lacks access to any recovery moves.
Offensive: Weavile can OHKO with Low Kick, but I have to get it in... which isn't that easy. also, Tyranitar doesn't like Earth Power that much. Stoutland can revenge kill it with Superpower in any weather, as it outspeeds Heatran naturally.
Weather Trapper: 2HKOed by Stone Edge from Tyranitar and OHKOed by Earthquake, so it can't really trap it. Weavile and Stoutland can revenge kill it.
Substitute: A bit on the annoying side if it comes on Latias or Gothitelle, but Tyranitar can beat it if it doesn't have Earth Power.
Choice Specs: This one hurts like a truck, but Tyranitar can handle it. Weavile and Stoutland can revenge kill it.

Massive weakness to Mach Punch (Tyranitar x2, Weavile x2, Cobalion, Stoutland) but I assume you know that already.

Also. YOU. NEED. TO. EXPLAIN. YOUR. NICkNAMES! That's like 65% of the fun!

Mach Punch is tanked by Latias. Also, Cobalion and Stoutland have the bulk to take one Mach Punch and severely dent the Mach Punch user.

lol = uncreative name.
You Don't Say? = a reference to trollface.
Mrs. G&W = Mr. G&W's wife is Latias.
DERP! = uncreative name. Cobalion looks derpy after all.
Crap Land = uncreative name.
lolmamoswine = Mamoswine is ugly.

THREAT LIST - Part 2

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/248.gifTyranitar

Choice Band: Because this thing hits extremely hard, it can be a bit annoying. I can't really play mindgames with it because of Pursuit. However, if I do predict correctly, I might be able to switch in Cobalion and get a free attack boost before pulverizing it with Close Combat. To show Tyranitar's power, all members of my team are OHKOed by something Bandtar carries. Latias and Gothitelle are both OHKOed by Pursuit and even Cobalion is annihilated by a Superpower. However, thanks to its low speed, it's extremely easy to revenge kill. Usually I let something die and then bring in Weavile or Stoutland for the OHKO.
Support: Not really that strong. My own Tyranitar can handle it, while Cobalion and Stoutland can also OHKO it with their Fighting-type attacks.
Choice Scarf: It outspeeds Latias and Gothitelle and 2HKOes them with Pursuit (or OHKO on the switch). Cobalion can take one Superpower and OHKO with Close Combat. Weavile and Stoutland also outspeed it and OHKO with Low Kick and Superpower, respectively.
Lead: This one's annoying. Thanks to its Focus Sash, it will be able to set up Stealth Rock or heavily damage something thanks to its impressive coverage. Tyranitar is OHKOed by Low Kick, Weavile the same. If I suspect a Lead set, I might start with Gothitelle and Trick it a pair of Choice Specs, but I might still be OHKOed by Crunch and Focus Sash does nothing because of the sandstorm. Usually, I will need 2 Pokemon to beat this thing. Even Cobalion doesn't really want to take a Low Kick thanks to Close Combat's defense stats drop.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/381.gifLatios

Choice Specs: Oh boy. This is why I decided to go with Draco Meteor in the Battle Rankings. I love spamming Choice Specs Draco Meteor with Latios. However, I'm not using him in this team (not yet, we'll see if Keldeo gets the boot). When used against me, I'll usually take care of him with a double switch (Tyranitar into Cobalion) and 3HKO him with Hidden Power Ice. Weavile can also Pursuit trap him. He's extremely powerful, though, so I have to be careful!
Life Orb: Annoying because he has the ability to switch moves, but once again, probably a double switch or let something die and then bring in Weavile.
Choice Scarf:Faster than Stoutland so he has the ability to revenge kill it with a Draco Meteor. Tyranitar can OHKO this Latios with Pursuit.
Calm Mind: Tyranitar, and if it's dead, revenge kill with Stoutland or Weavile.
Dual Screens: Gothitelle can put a halt to his plans by Tricking him a pair of Choice Specs. Beaten by Weavile and Tyranitar(preferably Weavile since it won't allow Latios to get any screens).

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/445.gif Garchomp
Choice Band: Choice Band Garchomp is very powerful. Nothing really wants to take an Outrage, with the exception of Cobalion, who is OHKOed by Earthquake. However, Cobalion can switch in on a predicted Outrage and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice, or revenge kill him before being OHKOed back by Earthquake. Latias and Weavile can also KO him.
Stealth Rock: Annoying because of the Focus Sash, which allows him to either hit hard my check or set up Stealth Rock. Cobalion, Latias and Weavile can all 2HKO him.
Swords Dance: Latias can switch on a predicted Earthquake and OHKO with Draco Meteor, unless he decides to be a jerk and equip himself with a Haban Berry. If that's the case, Weavile and Cobalion can revenge kill him. Stoutland can at least prevent it from getting too far.
SubSD: If he manages to set up a Substitute he's annoying. Cobalion, Latias and Weavile can revenge kill him, but only after I sack something. At least Sand Veil is banned.
Choice Scarf: He'll probably revenge kill something, but after that he will get OHKOed by a swift Ice Shard from Weavile, or a Return from Stoutland if he's weakened.
Support: Never saw Support Garchomp, yet.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/479-wash.gif Rotom-W

Bulky Attacker: Latias has little to fear from it. Volt Switch allows it to escape, though, and possibly bring in something like Tyranitar or Weavile, considering Rotom-W is slower than Latias. She also needs watch out for Hidden Power Ice on the switch. Pain Split can be a bit annoying if Rotom-W has low health, especially since even Draco Meteor will never OHKO Rotom-W and Psyshock might fail to 2HKO without Stealth Rock. So, while Latias normally beats Rotom-W, it might still have a chance of weakening her enough or maybe bring in a Pursuit user.
Specially Defensive: Thunder Wave completely neuters Latias, but other than that Rotom-W can't really do much bar Volt Switch.
Choice Scarf: Latias has to watch out for Trick and she's outsped and 3HKOed by Hidden Power Ice, but she does have Roost and can 2HKO with Psyshock. Once again, watch out for Volt Switch.
Choice Specs: Latias fears a predicted Hidden Power Ice, but if Rotom-W decides to use Trick, it's not a big deal as Latias doesn't really mind Choice Specs, since it powers up Draco Meteor. In return, she 2HKOes it with Psyshock, or maybe OHKO it with Draco Meteor.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/286.gif Breloom
Physical Attacker: Because of Spore, Breloom is not very easy to counter. I have to sack something to sleep (usually T-tar), then switch in Latias or Gothitelle and OHKO. Another notable thing is that I'm quite weak to Mach Punch. Weavile can revenge kill a weakened Breloom with Ice Shard. Some Breloom might use Stone Edge over Spore to OHKO things like Salamence, but if it forgoes Spore Breloom suddenly becomes a lot easier to deal with.
Swords Dance: +2 Mach Punch actually does pack a punch, and again I have to sack something to sleep if it comes on something like Tyranitar. Latias can beat it.
Choice Scarf: Never saw it and would be quite annoying to fight. Stoutland can revenge kill it though since it doesn't have Mach Punch.
SubSeed: He doesn't really hit that hard, but there's Spore. Latias can take care of it.
SubPunch: He hits really hard and if he manages to set up a Substitute he can become annoying. However, Latias and Gothitelle can still take Focus Punches, outspeed and 2HKO it through the sub.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/121.gif Starmie

Offensive Rapid Spin: Weavile can take a Hydro Pump if it's not raining and OHKO it. Tyranitar can switch into a predicted Rapid Spin and trap it with Pursuit. Latias can also beat it with Draco Meteor if Starmie doesn't predict the switch as she can take one Ice Beam. Stoutland can revenge kill it in sandstorm. Generally, Starmie is a very good offensive spinner that happens to outspeed Latias, but I don't really have problems with it.
Bulky Rapid Spin: Tyranitar has nothing to fear from it, unless it gets burned. Stoutland and Weavile can still revenge kill it.
Choice Specs: Specs Starmie actually OHKOes Weavile with Hydro Pump so I have to predict a Thunderbolt/Ice Beam to get it in and trap it with Pursuit, Psyshock is a perfect invitation for Weavile too. He has to watch out for Trick though. Latias can wall it if it doesn't lock itself into Ice Beam. Same for Tyranitar if it doesn't lock itself into Hydro Pump. Stoutland can also revenge kill it.
Choice Scarf: Argh. This one. Weavile can take one Hydro Pump and OHKO it, but Scarf Starmie is extremely rare so Weavile tends to stay in, only to get Tricked a Choice Scarf, OHKO with Night Slash and then allow something to come in and set up. It outspeeds Stoutland, too, even in sand. Tyranitar doesn't care about anything Starmie has except for Hydro Pump. Latias completely walls it.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/647.gif Keldeo

Choice Scarf: I hate this thing and I think it should go Uber. It's the reason I don't use Latios on my team. It's annoying because it can outspeed Stoutland even in sand and OHKO it with Secret Sword. Latias is 3HKOed by Hidden Power Ghost, but she can OHKO in return with Psyshock. Gothitelle can also OHKO it. If they're dead, however, I'm doomed (unless Hydro Pump misses).
Calm Mind: Latias doesn't care about how many Calm Mind boosts Keldeo has got and OHKO with Psyshock. Stoutland can revenge kill it.
Choice Specs: While she's 2HKOed by Hidden Power Ghost, Latias can outspeed it and OHKO. Stoutland can revenge kill it.
All-out Attacker: See Choice Specs.
SubCM: If Latias is dead (and she usually is, since SubCM Keldeo is used as a last Pokemon setup sweeper) I'm in trouble. Weavile's Low Kick can break its sub and then Stoutland can proceed to OHKO it with Wild Charge. However, if Weavile is also dead, I have to force a speed tie with Cobalion, and if I lose it, its gg.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/094.gif Gengar

SubDisable: Gengar will usually come on Gothitelle or Tyranitar and attempt to set up a Substitute. I'll have to force a speed tie with Latias or revenge kill it with Weavile. This would be a big threat (and thus colored orange), but Focus Blast (or Unfocused Blast, Focus Miss and so on) has only 70% accuracy so Tyranitar, Stoutland and Cobalion can sometimes beat it.
SubSplit: Again, I have to force a speed tie with Latias or revenge kill it with Weavile, or pray for a Focus Blast miss. Pain Split is a bit annoying.
Offensive 3 Attacks: Gengar in general is somewhat annoying just because of Substitute. Hidden Power Fire doesn't affect the team very much, though, and it still has to rely on that pathetic Focus Blast. As with the other variants, force a speed tie with Latias or revenge kill it with Weavile.
Choice Scarf: If it locks itself into Shadow Ball, Tyranitar is a perfect switch-in to trap it with Pursuit, Weavile can trap it too. While it's faster than Stoutland, the dog is immune to Shadow Ball and can beat it with Wild Charge. If it locks itself into Focus Blast Latias can beat it. HP Ice is another invitation for Weavile to come in and trap it. However, the fun stops here: Gengar can Trick them a Choice Scarf, which can be annoying for the rest of the match. My Tyranitar is slower even after being Tricked a Choice Scarf and OHKOed by Focus Blast, unless it misses.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/065.gif Alakazam

Special Attacker: Annoying. Very annoying. Thanks to its Focus Sash and Magic Guard ability, Alakazam doesn't care about sand and will most likely revenge kill one member of my team. Tyranitar must pray for two Focus Blast misses to beat it, while Weavile has a 30% chance to beat it. Latias is 2HKOed by Signal Beam after Stealth Rock damage and can't OHKO in return. Alakazam outspeeds 4 members of my team and beats the other two 70% of the time. I can try to Trick it a pair of Choice Specs, lock it into Shadow Ball or Signal Beam, and then switch in Tyranitar and trap it, but Alakazam is usually seen in weatherless teams, and Gothitelle is less useful against that type of teams. If it somehow decides to use a Life Orb, however, it's not as annoying. Weavile can OHKO it this time with Night Slash, while Stoutland can revenge kill it.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/637.gif Volcarona

Offensive Quiver Dance: Tyranitar can take one +1 Bug Buzz and OHKO with Stone Edge. Stoutland outspeeds it in sand. Heavily crippled by Stealth Rock.
Rain Quiver Dance: See Offensive Quiver Dance.
Bulky Quiver Dance: See Offensive Quiver Dance.
ChestoRest: See Offensive Quiver Dance.
Choice Scarf: I faced Scarf Volcarona only once. If Tyranitar switches in as it uses Bug Buzz, it loses. Stoutland can still outspeed it in sand and 2HKO with Return, though. Very rarely seen, so it's a bit of a threat, as it might net surprise kills against Weavile and Latias because they don't expect it. This is why it's colored yellow.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/373.gif Salamence

Choice Scarf: Let itself lock into Outrage, switch to Cobalion, and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice. Weavile can revenge kill it with Ice Shard. It does hit very hard, but it won't be sweeping anytime soon. Stoutland can also outspeed it in sand and OHKO it with Return after Stealth Rock damage, or sometimes only after sand damage. Note that Stoutland has a chance to OHKO Mence with Return without Stealth Rock if the dragon has a Hasty nature, but it has a small chance to survive even after sand damage. Stealth Rock will guarantee the OHKO.
Dragon Dance: As I usually leave Weavile for late-game, it's not hard to stop its sweep, especially if it already revealed its DD set. Weavile can revenge kill with Ice Shard. Cobalion can take a +1 Earthquake or Fire Blast and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice, though it will likely die in the process due to Life Orb recoil. Stoutland revenge kills it with Return.
MixMence: Latias can OHKO with Draco Meteor. Weavile and Stoutland can revenge kill it(the latter after Stealth Rock damage). Cobalion must avoid a Fire Blast, but it can too outspeed and KO with Hidden Power Ice.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/639.gif Terrakion

Choice Band: I have to force a speed tie with Cobalion or revenge kill it. Nothing really can switch into this *******. Even Latias takes a ton from Close Combat and is OHKOed by Stone Miss after Stealth Rock damage. Weavile can revenge kill it with Low Kick, and if there's sandstorm, Stoutland can do the same. Good news is that Stone Miss likes to miss a lot.
Choice Scarf: If there's something that my team fears more than the end of the world, then it has to be Scarf Terrakion. This is why I'm trembling in fear whenever I see Terrakion. This set. This ****ing set. This stupid Choice Scarf set. I hate it so much. Scarf Terrakion was the key of herothezero's victory against me in the final match of the first OU tourney we had. If it's used by a smart player, it can revenge kill my entire team. It outspeeds Stoutland even in sand and OHKOes with Close Combat, Cobalion is OHKOed by Close Combat after Stealth Rock damage(yes, that 3% damage Cobalion takes from SR is just enough to guarantee the OHKO), Latias is outsped and 2HKOed by X-Scissor... Gothitelle can try to trick it a pair of Choice Specs, and that will severely cripple it, or simply go for the kill with Psychic. However, even Gothitelle is 2HKOed by X-Scissor. Oh yeah, and if the sandstorm is raging, Gothitelle's Psychic fails to OHKO Terrakion even after Stealth Rock damage (although it will put it in Ice Shard's KO range).
I can only beat Choice Scarf Terrakion by prediction. I can predict it switching in and OHKO with Superpower from Stoutland, Earthquake from Tyranitar, or Low Kick from Weavile. However, I need absolutely perfect prediction, else I'll have to sacrifice something and then try again. If Latias and Gothitelle are taken care of, Terrakion has no problem wiping my team out with Close Combat, and Ice Shard doesn't even come close to OHKOing it at -3.
There's also something I can use as a last resort if Terrakion revenge killed Latias or Gothitelle. Hilariously, Weavile can actually take an X-Scissor at 100% health and sacrifice itself to Life Orb recoil by OHKOing this stupid thing. However, this doesn't work if entry hazards are up.
Double Dancer: Can't really set up. If it sets up Rock Polish, Gothitelle can beat it with Psychic. Latias can also force it out. However, I mustn't let it set up both Rock Polish and Swords Dance, else it's gg.
Stealth Rock: Gothitelle can Trick it a pair of Choice Specs and then OHKO it.
SubSD: He'll probably kill one or two members of my team, but then something is going to revenge kill it, probably Weavile or Latias.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/205.gif Forretress

Rapid Spin: It will be able to set up Stealth Rock or Spikes thanks to Sturdy, but Latias and Gothitelle have no problems beating it with Hidden Power Fire, even in rain, because Forretress doesn't really invest into special defense. Volt Switch is a bit annoying, though.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/038.gif Ninetales

Defensive: Ninetales itself is not a big threat. However, the sun is. Gothitelle can trap it with Shadow Tag, but it normally loses against Ninetales unless it gets high damage rolls. Tyranitar can OHKO with Stone Edge, but beware of Will-o-Wisp. Note that Sunny Day can screw Tyranitar up and thus reverse the momentum, but as long as Tyranitar is still alive, Venusaur and Volcarona won't be sweeping anytime soon. Latias can beat it. Stoutland can also 2HKO it with Return, but once again, beware of Will-o-Wisp.
Special Attacker: Tyranitar has nothing to fear from it except for a predicted Sunny Day and can OHKO with Stone Edge.

http://media.pldh.net/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/645-therian.gif Landorus-T

Offensive Pivot: Landorus-T will usually come on Cobalion, thinking it has nothing to fear from the musketeer since it's so rare. Cobalion can thus take advantage of this and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice. Because of its Intimidate ability and excellent physical bulk, Landorus-T will often set up Stealth Rock, especially against Tyranitar. This would leave me time to switch to Weavile and OHKO with Ice Shard, but I have to hope its actually the Offensive Pivot set. Latias and Stoutland can also deal heavy damage to it.
Double Booster: If it uses Rock Polish I'm in trouble, especially if Weavile is dead. At +2, Landorus-T will manage to outspeed Stoutland in sandstorm and possibly OHKO it. Latias can still OHKO it with Draco Meteor. Cobalion can OHKO with Hidden Power Ice but must beware of Rock Polish.
Choice Scarf: Latias can switch into an Earthquake and OHKO with Draco Meteor, but she still needs to watch out for U-turn. Tyranitar or Gothitelle will probably be revenge killed, but after that Weavile and Stoutland can take care of it.
Gravity: Gravity helps Landorus-T beat Latias, Earthquake having a 50% chance to OHKO it. However, if Latias is lucky, she can OHKO it with Draco Meteor before dying to Life Orb recoil. Weavile and Stoutland can once again revenge kill it. Cobalion can OHKO an unsuspecting Landorus-T with HP Ice.
Substitute: Never saw one of these but it would probably be the most threatening Landorus-T set to my team.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/227.gif SuperEyan (Skarmory)

Physically Defensive: It'll probably get to set up one layer of Spikes or Stealth Rock or hit something with Brave Bird, but Gothitelle can Trick it a pair of Choice Specs to render it useless. Cobalion and Latias can also take care of it. Stoutland can revenge kill it with Wild Charge which 2HKOes.
Custap Lead: This set is normally used on hyperoffensive teams, and thanks to Sturdy and its very low special bulk, it'll probably set up two layers of Spikes or maybe even three. It's not hard to take down, but it's the rest of its team that might be a problem.
Specially Defensive: A bit tougher on the special side, but Latias can still 2HKO it. Stoutland can revenge kill it with Wild Charge if it's weakened.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/472.gif Gliscor

Substitute: This set's purpose is to try and outstall me with a combination of Substitute and Protect, aided by Poison Heal and possibly Toxic. However, it's actually extremely easy to take out. Latias is immune to Earthquake and even if Gliscor carries Ice Fang, Latias can swallow it and OHKO with Draco Meteor or break its Substitutes with Hidden Power Fire. Cobalion can lure it in and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice. Weavile can revenge kill a weakened Gliscor with Ice Shard and doesn't really care about Toxic.
AcroBat: A very effective lure. Stoutland is beaten by this set unless the sandstorm is raging. Latias takes a ton from Flying Gem Acrobatics but can still outspeed and OHKO with Draco Meteor. Weavile can revenge kill it.
Swords Dance: Can only really set up against Tyranitar, and even if it does, it can be revenge killed by the likes of Latias and Cobalion.
Defensive: It doesn't carry Substitute, so Latias has no problem OHKOing it with Draco Meteor. However, she does need to watch out for Toxic on the switch.
SubPass: Can only set up against Tyranitar. However, it's actually annoying if it manages to set up a Substitute thanks to Baton Pass keeping its momentum. It can easily Baton Pass to something like Tyranitar to finish off my Latias while all she can do in return is break its sub with Draco Meteor, or to Scizor to ruin my Weavile with Bullet Punch or set up a Swords Dance, especially if it's the Offensive Swords Dance set. Annoying, indeed. It can be taken down in the same way the other defensive sets are eliminated.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/473.gif Mamoswine

Physical Attacker: Although Hitler's rage video about fighting a Dawn-based team says that my team is weak to this Pokemon, Mamoswine is actually very easy to take care of. It'll probably come on Latias, since that's Mamoswine's job anyway. As it uses Ice Shard or Icicle Crash, and since Latias is immune to Earthquake, I can simply switch to Weavile / Cobalion and deliver an easy OHKO with Low Kick / Close Combat. Gothitelle can also Trick it a pair of Choice Specs or hit it hard with Psychic before attempting a double switch. If it comes on Tyranitar, a double switch is once again the most useful. Stoutland can also OHKO it with Superpower.
Focus Sash: A bit annoying, since it'll probably set up Stealth Rock and maybe severely weaken one of my Pokemon. Gothitelle can Trick it a pair of Choice Specs, possibly lock it into Earthquake, and then switch to Latias. If it decides to use Stealth Rock and is Tricked, Gothitelle stays in and slays Mamoswine with Psychic. That Focus Sash might also help Gothitelle, since it'll weaken something.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/251.gif Celebi

Specially Defensive: Tyranitar really has nothing to fear from it bar U-turn. It doesn't really care about Thunder Wave thanks to its low speed, and it's already slower than Celebi, so Pursuit will OHKO it if it decides to use U-turn. Giga Drain deals next to nothing thanks to Tyranitar's very good special bulk. If Celebi has Psychic, Tyranitar completely walls it. Weavile and Stoutland can also revenge kill a weakened Celebi. Also, Gothitelle can put a halt to its plans by Tricking it a pair of Choice Specs, which severely cripples it especially if it locks itself into Recover, as Gothitelle can PP stall it. Or even worse, if it locks itself into Thunder Wave, because Gothitelle can trap it and spam Hidden Power Fire for the 5HKO.
Offensive: This Celebi is actually a bit annoying since it OHKOes Tyranitar. However, Latias can tank a Leaf Storm pretty well, doesn't really care about anything else (bar the rare Thunder Wave) and can 2HKO with a combination of Hidden Power Fire and Draco Meteor. Weavile can also OHKO it after Stealth Rock damage.
Nasty Plot: Latias is once again an almost perfect counter to this thing (although +2 Hidden Power Ice hurts) and she can 2HKO with Draco Meteor. Weavile can revenge kill it with Night Slash, which once again OHKOes with the help of Stealth Rock.
Baton Pass: A bit annoying. Celebi can actually set up against things like Cobalion, Latias, and maybe Gothitelle (although Gothitelle outspeeds 32 Spe Calm Celebi). Tyranitar can OHKO with Crunch, but must beware of Baton Pass or Substitute. Gothitelle can Trick it and PP stall it while slowly beating it with Hidden Power Fire, although at +6 it will only deal about 6% damage (factoring in Leftovers), it can still hope for a critical hit, knowing Celebi is trapped anyway. However, if Celebi has a Timid nature, it can set up a Substitute and prevent itself from being Tricked, which can spell trouble.
Choice Scarf: Latias has nothing to fear from it bar Trick, which doesn't cripple her too much, and can 2HKO with Draco Meteor.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/130.gif Gyarados

Bulky Dragon Dance: Meh. Gyarados can set up against Weavile or Tyranitar, especially if it has Intimidate. But if sand is up, Stoutland can still stop its sweep with a simple Wild Charge. Cobalion carries Volt Switch to ruin its plans while being able to take even a +3 Bounce (although it will probably succumb to Life Orb recoil).
Offensive Dragon Dance: Easy to deal with. Even Weavile can 2HKO with a combination of Night Slash and Ice Shard with Stealth Rock support. Stoutland can easily revenge kill it with Wild Charge in sandstorm.
Choice Scarf: While it'll probably revenge kill something, Stoutland can still outspeed it in sandstorm and OHKO with Wild Charge. Cobalion has nothing to fear from it even if it has a Moxie boost and OHKO with Volt Switch after Stealth Rock damage. Oh, and speaking of Stealth Rock, ScarfGyara really hates this entry hazard, so if I set it up as fast as possible, it's not a big deal.
RestTalk: Extremely easy to deal with. Stoutland can OHKO even at -1 with Wild Charge after Stealth Rock damage, and the same can be said for Cobalion and Gothitelle.
Choice Band: Blargh, I don't like facing this one. This Gyarados hits extremely hard right off the bat (especially if rain is active) and nothing can really switch in. Therefore, I must resort to revenge killing it. Stoutland can do so with Wild Charge, while Cobalion can OHKO with Volt Switch.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/196.gif Espeon

Dual Screens: Tyranitar doesn't care about anything Espeon does thanks to being immune to Psychic and can OHKO with Crunch through Reflect, thanks to its sheer power. Weavile can also do that, but must beware of a Hidden Power Fire on the switch, which clocks in about 55% damage.
However, it's Espeon's teammates that might pose a problem, especially if it's something like Choice Scarf Terrakion.
Baton Pass: Annoying, because it's used in Baton Pass teams that will try to pass defensive boosts to it. Gothitelle can Trick it a pair of Choice Specs and severely cripple it, but that simply means it's going to Baton Pass next turn. Tyranitar can devastate it with Crunch while being able to take a +0 Hidden Power Fighting. However, to counter Baton Pass teams, Gothitelle would rather cripple something like Vaporeon or Mr. Mime. Additionally, Ninjask is stopped by Weavile because it wants to pass both Substitute and as many speed boosts as possible, and after two Substitutes Weavile will be able to OHKO a Mental Herb variant with Ice Shard. Or if for some reason Ninjask is using a specially defensive spread, then Ice Shard is a simple OHKO after one Substitute.
Offensive: Weavile takes zero damage from Psychic, doesn't really care about Grass Knot or Protect and can simply OHKO with Pursuit or Night Slash. Tyranitar can take one Grass Knot and obliberate it with Crunch.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/593.gif Jellicent

Utility Counter: What make Jellicent a bit annoying to fight are Scald and Will-o-Wisp, which can burn my physical attackers, and especially cripple Stoutland. Jellicent is immediately threatened by Weavile, who can destroy it with two Night Slashes even if it happens to be burned. Tyranitar is faster than 44 Spe Jellicent and can OHKO with a swift Crunch. Stoutland can revenge kill it with Wild Charge, but beware: Jellicent must be weakened, else Stoutland will be prevented from sweeping unless Will-o-Wisp misses! That's not a big deal if Jellicent has Toxic instead of Will-o-Wisp, though. Tricking it a pair of Choice Specs may work, but Gothitelle must avoid repeated Shadow Balls.
Special Wall: With the help of Stealth Rock and sand which cancels out Jellicent's Leftovers, Weavile can OHKO with Night Slash. Jellicent can also be revenge killed via Wild Charge if it has been weakened a bit. Gothitelle can Trick it and render it useless, but once again, it needs to be wary of Shadow Ball.
Choice Specs: Because Jellicent hits surprisingly hard, (for example, OHKOing Weavile with Water Spout at full health) it can be very annoying to deal with. However, as this Jellicent is only seen on rain offensive teams, it's actually not that hard to beat because Gothitelle can trap Politoed, else it would probably be colored orange. If Weavile switches on Shadow Ball or Ice Beam, it can OHKO with Night Slash or even Pursuit if it predicts correctly. Latias is not 2HKOed by Hydro Pump or even Water Spout and can 2HKO in return with Psyshock, while healing herself with Roost. If Tyranitar wins the Speed tie, it can swiftly OHKO with Crunch, and even if it loses it, it's still not a big deal if Jellicent is locked into a non-supereffective move, as it can take advantage of this with Pursuit. Stoutland takes zero damage from Shadow Ball and can OHKO with Wild Charge in return (guaranteed with sand damage). However, Jellicent can still be a bit annoying if it makes some good predictions, such as using Water Spout as I switch to Weavile.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/392.gif Infernape

Choice Band: It hits very hard in sunny weather, and therefore it can be quite irritating. Latias can take any hit bar U-turn, but even Flare Blitz will leave a mark (about 50% damage). Psyshock can OHKO Infernape. If Latias is dead, then Stoutland can revenge kill it, but the problem is that it shares a weakness to Fighting with Tyranitar (and even Cobalion and Weavile).
Mixed Attacker: As Mixed Infernape is best used on sandstorm teams, it can be a bit annoying if it has U-turn because it can bring in its own Tyranitar and beat my poor Latias with Pursuit. While nothing really can't switch in except with good prediction, Stoutland and Latias can revenge kill it, with the latter able to counter it (but once again, only if it lacks U-turn).
Anti-Lead Infernape will probably manage to set up Stealth Rock with prediction, but that doesn't stop Latias from coming in and annihilating it with Psyshock.
Choice Scarf: What is with me having so much trouble with Scarf'd base 108's? Scarf Infernape, while as fast as Scarf Terrakion (and therefore it outspeeds Stoutland even in sand), is nowhere near as dangerous as the musketeer. Nevertheless, if Latias is dead, this variant of Infernape is actually quite the threat to my team. Stoutland has a very small chance to survive without Stealth Rock, if it has Fire Blast (and thus 36 Atk EVs). If Infernape has 252 Atk EVs, it's OHKOed even by Flare Blitz after Stealth Rock damage, with sun in play. Tyranitar gets annihilated. However, there is a ray of light. Cobalion can take one Close Combat even after Stealth Rock damage, and then OHKO back with its own (although it will die in the process, due to LO recoil). Additionally, if Latias is not dead, she can still wall Infernape unless it predicts correctly and uses U-turn, and OHKO with Psyshock.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/135.gif Jolteon

Offensive: Tyranitar stops it cold as it can take 2 Choice Specs-boosted Signal Beams even after Stealth Rock damage 91.8% of the time and OHKO back with Crunch. If Jolteon uses a Life Orb and tries to escape with Volt Switch, Pursuit will obliberate the Eevee evo. Latias can also beat it provided the opponent doesn't predict me switching to her, as she is 2HKOed by the bug-type move. Weavile can check a Life Orb variant of Jolteon with Night Slash + Ice Shard provided Stealth Rock is off the field and Jolteon lacks Thunder. Stoutland OHKOes with Return and outspeeds it in sand. In fact, no Pokemon from this team (besides maybe Cobalion) is afraid to take it on.
Baton Pass: Cannot set up on anything bar Cobalion, but Baton Pass can get in the way of Pursuit and I need to prevent the opponent from Baton Passing a sub. Other than that, it's handled in the same way as the Offensive set.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/073.gif Tentacruel

Support: You know, in the wild we always get bored of seeing Tentacool over and over, and the same could be said about Tentacruel in competitive play. A Toxic on the switch might pose problems, but Latias 2HKOes it with Psyshock even through Rain Dish + Protect, while tanking Scald very well. If she's dead, however, Tentacruel becomes harder to deal with, thanks to Rain Dish. However, I usually win weather wars, else it'd probably be colored yellow or maybe even orange. Stoutland can revenge kill it but a Scald burn can be very annoying.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/091.gif Cloyster

Shell Smash: Why do people use Cloyster so much? Shell Smash + Skill Link is a cute combination, but with that pathetic special defense Cloyster can't really set up. If Cobalion's not dead, it doesn't matter how good the player is since a simple Volt Switch can destroy it, thanks to its extremely bad special defesne, while Cobalion can take a +2 Razor Shell very well. A +2 Hydro Pump does OHKO in the rain, but as Gothitelle and Tyranitar take care of Politoed very easily, it doesn't really matter, and Hydro Pump Cloyster is very rare anyway. If Cloyster uses an Adamant nature, Stoutland can also revenge kill a -1 Cloyster with Superpower (but must beware of a White Herb, although Superpower still OHKOes after Stealth Rock). Focus Sash Cloyster can be taken care of Weavile, who can revenge kill 1 HP Cloyster with Ice Shard.

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/232.gif Donphan

Rapid Spin (252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe): Really? People STILL use this Donphan set? Maybe it's a key component of Ash-based teams looking for a spinner. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's outclassed by Forretress as a Rapid Spinner on sun teams. Latias has no problems OHKOing it with Draco Meteor after Stealth Rock, while being immune to Earthquake and only taking ~25% damage from Ice Shard.
Rapid Spin (128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 Spe): Now THIS is the set Donphan should be using if it wants to compete in OU. After Stealth Rock damage, Latias and Donphan will knock each other out thanks to Life Orb recoil, and if Donphan carries Head Smash, it will actually win against the Eon Pokemon if it predicts her switching in. That means I lost my main answer to sun teams, which is not good at all.
