Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Okay, school is about 5 minutes from over for me now and I have lacrosse after that for a few hours. What name/server do you frequent? (ExoticMailbox and ChomperTheTRex on Smogon and sometimes CAP)

I don't have a team now but I'll build one tomorrow. If it's ok for you, we could battle at the times you mentioned (6pm here and I think 12:00 for you)?
I was considering giving it a flame orb, but the sand would pick it off before the orb would even activate so it wouldn't do much... I thought me pretending that the sash would save me numerous times and prevent me from dying to SS would be better :)
And Substitute went into the other options, along with solarbeam (a great move in sandstorm)
