So, I recently got back into Pokemon and really wanted to try and make a competitive viable team for ORAS OU. As I said, I only recently got back into Pokemon and this is my first team, so I used a few guides on Smogon, and as such, advice is more than welcome. I have not actually begun obtaining the necessary Pokemon for this: I don't want to until I am sure what Pokemon I need. As such, I chose the genders at random. So without further ado, here it comes:
Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
Ferrothorn functions as my Entry Hazard setter. Stealth Rock and Spikes allow him to hurt any pokemon who enters the field quite badly, while Power Whip and Gyro Ball give it powerful STAB to hurt even with his low Attack stat. The Careful nature makes up for its relatively weak Special Defense.
Excadrill (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 124 Def / 128 SpD
Impish Nature
Azumarill (F) @Life Orb Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power
EVs:4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Adamant Nature
Gardevoir (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Gardevoir is, while not mega on this team, a great special attacker/sweeper and allows me to take out heavy physical walls. Its Choice Scarf makes up for its mediocre speed, Moonblast and Psychic give it powerful STAB and Thunderbolt and Energy Ball give it coverage. Considering switching one of the latter two out for Shadow Ball.
Hydreigon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
Chansey is straight up the best special wall in the game right now. Its moveset is fairly obvious: Seismic Toss allows it to deal a solid 100 or 50 damage (depending on rules of match), Soft-Boiled allows it to heal off any damage my opponents do manage to deal to me, and Toxic and Heal Bell allow me to support the rest of the team. I am however personally not a huge fan of using full tanks, so if anyone has a suggestion for a good special wall that is capable of dealing damage, I'd be more than happy.
Sylveon (F) @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Replacing Heatran for convenience sake, Gengar in Mega form is one of if not the best special attacker in the game. He is, however, in Uber. As such, I'll have to stick with the Life Orb and destroy people with STAB moves Shadow Ball and Sludge Wave, wreck a switching in Bisharp with Focus Blast or one shot Landorus with Icy Wind.
Tyranitar @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
