Hello Smogon,
this will be my first RMT at Smogon so please don´t be angry with me!
________________________________________________________________________________________
Now I´m gonna explain you the reason for this Team. My "best" playstyle is Balanced so I decided to run a Balanced-Team.
I was looking for 1 of the new megas so I choose mMetagross because of his great speed and attack.
mMetagross is one of the best Lategamesweeper in OR/AS OU.
mMetagross ist also S ranked.

mMetagross my mega and lategamesweeper of choice. Metagross have a great speed and a great attack. Metagross ability push his attack and Metagross could be a very big problem for every team without a counter or check. I decided to put Grass Knot over Hammer Arm oder Agility because Metagross can´t hit Quagsire, Slowbro, mSlowbro and mSwampert. Meteor Mash is the obligatory STAB, Ice Punch for Lando and Lando-T and EQ can hit other Steel-Typ mons. I choose a jolly nature for the Max. speed. It´s very important so outspeed the most Pokemon in the lategame.
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 44 Atk / 212 SAtk / 252 Spd
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)

Like all lategamesweeper Metagross needs help to clear or hit the counters. Latios ist not only my defogger, He can hit also Heatran with EQ (Thats why I have 44 Atk Ev´s) and Latios lure Bisharp. Ferrothorn is a big problem for Metagross, Latios can easy handle it with HP-Fire and Draco Meteor is the main STAB for Rotom-W. I choose here a speed nature to. Naive don´t let my attack feel and so I can hit Heatran and Bisharp harder than with a timid nature.
Dragonite (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 96 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
Sometimes Latios need help to clean the field for Metagross and here comes Dragonite. I decided for the Bulky Band attacker cause I need the power in a moment. Dragon Dance takes to long. I invested 96 speed ev´s to outspeed Rotom-W with 44 speed evs cause Nite don´t like Wow. Fire Punch is for mMetagross, Ferrothorn,Sciz and Ballon Exca. Outrage is the main STAB and EQ for Heatran.
Heatran (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 192 SDef / 68 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
I decided to use Heatran over Ttar cause Ttar breaks my own Multiscale and Ttar have so many weaks. Heatran basicly do the same and give me a betther position against Ferrothorn.
Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Pain Split
So Bisharp correctly played make a big problem for my Team, Bisharp can OHKO Ttar, Latios and OHKO Metagross. Rotom-W is my answer and Rotom-W gives me more chance to beat Greninja. I decided to put Pain splitt over HP Ice cause Rotom-W needs some recovery and if I lose Rotom-W i would have a big problem with Greninja
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 96 SpD / 8 Spe
Calm Nature
- Soft-Boiled
- Fire Blast/Flamethrower
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
I need some help against CM-mSableye cause after 1 CM latios can beat him. Wow is a Problem for my Phy. attackers like Nite, Metagross or Ttar. Fire Blast is for Sciz and mMeta. I choose Magic Guard so chansey, blissey and mSableye can´t stall Clefable out.
