XY OU Yes, this is my OU team, no joking.

[Gabidou99]

Actually, it's my Pokemon Y team, and it used to be a UU team, until Gardevoir got banned. Trust me or not, but I wins a lot of battles with this team. I'm pretty casual. And also, it's a bit different from my Pokemon Y team.


TEH TEAM

RITO (Hariyama) (M) @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Protect
- Facade
- Knock Off

Probably the main offense, can OHKO most ghost type with Gut boosted Knock Off. Can sometime take a Psychic from a Psychic type Pokemon then strike it with Knock off. I use Protect over Fake out because it's more reliable. Facade used to strike flying type and other Pokemon that resist Close Combat and Knock Off.

Problem? (Porygon2) @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Shadow Ball
- Tri Attack
- Recover
Probably my best Pokemon of my team, it try to paralyze everything before it dies, then clean the rest with the other offenses. I choosed him because I have a friend who love Porygon, so I give him a try and loved him. It also has cool bulk and decent special attack, and has Recover.

Sportdevoir (Gardevoir) (F) @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psyshock
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
Main special attacker of the team, and do a lot of damage with Hyper Voice after 1 Calm Mind. Even with Psyshock, it can't do much against Chansey. I choosed it because it's my favorite Pokemon, has great Special attack and Special defense, also have decent speed.

I'm a bug. No rocks please (Scyther) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aerial Ace
- Brick Break
- Quick Attack
- Bug Bite
1 for Choice band attacker, 2 for surprising a lot of Calm Mind users and 3 for fast. Dislike rocks. I choosed him because one day I was looking at the PC of my Pokemon Y game looking if I have a Pokemon with Ivs. I found him and put Choice band to him. It hurt a lot and has great speed stat.

★L0RD H3L1X★ (Omastar) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Ancient Power
- Surf
- Ice Beam
"Oh my God Arceus Helix, he use that as a Stealth rock user?!" Yes, because Wynaut? It easily defeat Skarmory and other Rock and/or Ground type leads. I choosed him because he has Shell Smash and good stats. I only use Shell Smash in my Pokemon Y game, though.

MAKE A KISSY FACE (Doublade) (M) @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Sacred Sword
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance
Sword Dance Bulky Attacker. The main reason I use it for my memorial team is because I needed STAB Propriety. Dissapointing it doesn't get Iron Tails. I choosed him because It has good defense do deal with physical attacker, and has propriety for his low speed.


BIGGEST ENEMY OF TEAM:

I really hate this guy. It OHKO my Gardevoir with Bullet Punch, OHKO Scyther after Stealth Rock Damage (Probably), Can easily set up on Porygon2, and Omastar is often dead before he come. Hariyama Is the only one that can safely damage him. Doublade can also, if he doesn't have Knock off.



So, what do you think of this memorial "OU" team? How I can improve it? Also this is my first thread, so be nice ;)

Scyther is much better with an SD set and holding Eviolite (roost is a good idea too), especially in OU where he's gonna need something to make up for his poor typing and low natural bulk.

I've been thinking about that, lately. The problem is that you can have more than 1 of the same item in Battle Spot. (Porygon2 is already having the spot for Eviolite)

Ehh so is Doublade actually, so I assumed this was for the sim.

Ohhh yeah, umm, Doublade doesn't need Eviolite that much to be successful. And if I give Eviolite to Scyther, I would probably forget it doesn't have it when playing console and then make a mistake.

The 4 speed EV is to outspeed most other Hariyamas.

lol other hariyamas in ou, maybe those evs would be better off in special defense so porygons get the wrong download boost



Speaking seriously about Hariyama's EVs though, it's actually slightly better if you split its HP EVs into its defenses, because its HP is already so high.

252 SpA Manaphy Scald vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Hariyama: 165-195 (33.5 - 39.6%)
252 Atk Manaphy Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hariyama: 165-195 (33.5 - 39.6%)

252 SpA Manaphy Scald vs. 0 HP / 128 SpD Hariyama: 136-162 (31.7 - 37.7%)
252 Atk Manaphy Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 128 Def Hariyama: 136-162 (31.7 - 37.7%)

So I suggest an EV spread of 252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 SpD Adamant.

Thanks, I changed it on ALL my teams.
