Not that being 7th place is all that special right now but damnit I feel good about it. Also forgive me if I don't do this justice but this is only my second RMT so I might be a little rough.
RU right now is so broken that it's a mix bag of love and hate, honestly they should ban Kyurem but even then there are some OP mons in the tier. And here are a few.
Moltres @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Air Slash
- U-turn
- Roost
Honestly this team originally had a Kyurem in it and Moltres was there to clear out Steel types for him to sweep. But after a while Moltres was putting in more work that I decided to get rid of him and keep this beautiful bird.
Despite all the excellent amount of great bulky water pokes in RU there doesn't seem to be a whole lot that Stops Moltres. Fire Blast hurts even the some of the bulkiest of pokes without any trouble. I use Air Slash over Hurricane because Fire Blast is powerful enough and the accuracy with a some blander coverage can help.
Gligar @ Eviolite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 240 Def / 252 HP / 16 Spd
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Defog
- Earthquake
- Roost
There's not much to be said about Gligar, it's the best defoger in the tier and is an excellent poke to take on some of the most threatening physical attackers such as Rhyperior, Escavalier, or all the fighting types down here.
Milotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 24 Def / 252 HP / 232 SDef
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Haze / Toxic
- Recover
The only reason I'm not swept by a good fire poke and it has good synergy with Gligar.
Escavalier @ Assault Vest
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Iron Head
- Drill Run
- Knock Off
AV Escavalier is the best answer to much of the big threats in RU currently (Kyurem, Shaymin) and handles that pesky Cress and other bulky Psychics.
Raikou @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Rash / Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Aura Sphere / Shadow Ball
- Volt Switch
I'm still amazed by how this thing is RU, but I might as well use it. I've chosen the scarf set to help gain momentum and revenge (but then isn't that all Scarfers). I run Modest because the extra power is nice and there isn't much that outspeeds this poke anyways.
Cobalion @ Choice Band
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Iron Head
- Stone Edge
- Volt Switch
In case Escavalier is too slow to get the job done Cobalion can hit Kyurems and other scary pokes hard and fast. Volt Switch is also great for some potential momentum.
