Hi everybody, I'm quite new in the competitive world of Pokémon and I've created my first OU team. I would like you to rate my team and tell me how to improve it. Thanks a lot.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Evs: 252 HP/ 88 Def/ 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
-Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed
-Gyro Ball
-Power Whip
I have chosen ferrothorn as my lead pokemon due to its tankiness. I use him as a defensive and special wall and as a stealth rock setter. It resists well rock (which charizard hates), and fairy (for garchomp). Power whip is used for power and stab. Gyro ball for its stab and high power due to 0 iv on ferrothorn speed. Leech seed for sustain.
Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
Evs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 SpD
Modest Nature
-Fire Blast
-Solar Beam
-Focus Blast
-Roost
I have picked charizard y cause I wanted a special sweeper on my team. He covers a lot of tipes and it's hability makes fire blast anoying for any poke. It combines well with heatran and has a lot of synergy with garch. I have chosen Fire Blast and Solar Beam for obvious reasons, Roost for sustain when predicting a change and Focus Blast for Dark type pokes (not very sure about this last move).
Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rough Skin
Evs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Def
Jolly Nature
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-Stone Edge
-Crunch
Garch has always been one of my favourite pokes and i think it fits well in my team. I use him as a sweeper and revenge killer. That is why he holds the choice scarf. All the weaknesses he has are well covered for my team but dragon type moves (scarf garch can outspeed all no-scarfed dragon threats and kill them with outrage). All the moves are straightforward but I'm not sure about crunch.
Starmie Life Orb
Ability: Analytic
Evs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Timid Nature
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Psyshock
-Rapid Spin
Having charizard y in my team has forced me to have a rapid spin pokemon. I have chosen starmie because it's speed and great power with life orb and analytic ability. His weaknesses are well covered with heatran. Hydro pump for power and stab, Ice Beam for dragons and Psyshock for stab. Rapid Spin for obvious reasons.
Heatran Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Evs: 248 HP/ 40 Def/ 220 SpD
Calm Nature
-Lava Plume
-Toxic
-Protect
-Roar
At this point my team had some weaknesses and was also lacking of a special defense tank. Heatran has occupied this place because of its typing and awesome hability that helps a lot to Scizor and Ferrothorn. Heatran works as a special defense tank and has potential to stall with Toxic and protect. Lava Plume for stab and 30% burn chance and Roar to take out threats and boosted pokemons.
Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
Evs: 240 HP/ 252 Atk/ 16 SpD
Adamand Nature
-Bullet Punch
-Pursuit
-U-Turn
-Superpower
The last slot of my team is Scizor. I have him choice banded because I think that is one of the best revenge killers in late game. Bullet punch with stab, hability and choice band causes an absurd amount of damage. Pursuit is used to kill pokemons that are going to be changed. U-Turn for stab and prediction of enemy changes and Superpower to kill Ferrothorn and opposing Scizors
This is my first team. Could you tell me what to improve and rate it?, I would really apreciate it.
