Omastar (sandstorm team tank/spiker version)

Type:ROCK/WATER
Ability: Shell Armor - Blocks critical hits.
           Swift Swim - Doubles speed during rain.
Tier: UU
Stats:

HP	70
Atck	60
Def	125
Sp. Atck	115
Sp. Def	70
Speed	55

Author's Opinion: Omastar can be an effective sweeper, but is even better on OU sandstorm teams. With a 50% boost in special defense, he can be a dominating special tank. He also has free fire switch-ins. he can be used as a sweeper on rain dance teams. I wouldn't recommend him on uber rain teams.

However, his typing is a poor one defensively, with a 4x weakness to Grass, but regardless, he still does his job well done in UU.
Recommended Movesets:

Tank
Nature: Calm
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 110 hp/100 defense/100 special attack/100 special defense
~ Ice beam
~ Surf
~ Ancient power/Earth Power/Hidden Power(?? ??)
~ Knock off

This set will surprise a lot of people. with the boosted total of 105 special defence it can absorb a few blows. with its monstrous special attack it will OHKO unsuspecting enemies that think they can set up on it.
Spiker
Nature: Calm
Item: Rindo berry
EVS 252 HP/129 Def/129 Special Def
~ Spikes
~ Toxic Spikes
~ Stealth rock
~ Surf

This setup is a very good spiker. It can last awhile with the boosts it gets in special defence. Surf is there for STAB and when you finished spiking/got taunted
Countering Omastar:

The tank set is destroyed by Grass moves. The spiker set is destroyed by spinners. Taunt can shut down the Spiker set and eventually get walled.
