Mega-CharizardX and Friends
Introduction
Hello everyone this is my first ORAS OU Team. Atm its only on Showdown but planned to be played at 3DS too.
Teambuilding Process
When I started building this team my first choice was which Mega Im going to play.
My first thought was immediately Mega-CharizardX because i thought i looked amazing and Charizard finally got his longdeserved Dragon type.
Then i rememberd my favorite entryhazard/wall Pokemon of gen5: Ferrothorn.
It was an more or less obvious choice because i needed entryhazards and it resists dragon,rock,water and fairy type moves which are major weaks of Charizard X.
So we got the Wall and the physical All-Out attacker.
Next up was a special attacker with high sweeping potential. First Ive got Gengar in this slot but i didnt like it that much so i looked for something else and i got my eye on HP Ice Thunderus-I with the Nasty Plot set.
So my core was done.
I looked a my team and saw 2 major problems: entryhazards, 4x weakness of Charizard and 2x weakness of Thunderus-I. So it was clear that i need an spinner and the second big weakness: how to kill fairy type pokemons sure i got gyroball on Ferrothorn but this isnt enough for Clefable and such so i needed an solution for this.
My first thought for the entryhazard problem was some kind of Excadrill+Hippowdon pick but i didnt like the sandstorm because of my Thunderus and Charizard.
So I picked Starmie. Water type is alway good,it has 2 realy powerfull STABs with Scald and Psyschock and it could spin.
Now on to the fairy problem.
I decided to pick up Bisharp rather fast simply because it has good typing,amazing STABs and can use Sword Dance.
And now on to the last slot: Slowbro. to be honest im not quite sure why i choose this guy i just liked his set and his movepool but i think this slot has major improvement potential.
The Team
Charizard-Mega-X @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake/Roost
- Outrage
Its the star of this team. His damage potential is insane he has great coverage,it can use Dragon Dance and can single handedly sweep whole teams with 2x DDs. I picked Outrage over Dragonclaw because i think you should play the move with the highest power on an all-out attacker like this one.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
I dont think i have to say much about it. Its Ferrothorn it can lay entryhazards,lay out leech seed, Is able to kille meele attacker through rocky helmet+iron barbs and is bulky af.
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
