Hey guys I haven't made a decent OU team for like months. I'm not saying this one's decent but hey, it's still good. It's sort of a balanced bulky offense. Since this team is slow, i need you guys to tell me how to counter fast sweepers. My main problem is Infernape since it can smack my whole team with powerful moves and leave dents if i manage to kill it.

And so without further ado, here's the team.

Tyraniboah Kills: A Bulky Offense Team

Heatran@Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Modest
~ Fire Blast
~ Earth Power
~ Hidden Power [Ice]
~ Stealth Rock

Here's one of the most underrated sets in history, Balloon Heatran. To me, this is probably the most useful set that Heatran can run allowing it to be a support and offensive Pokemon at the same time. I'm a conservative player and if you're like me, then you can preserve Air Balloon for at least half the match. Heatran is my main killer in the team packing raw offensive power that can decimate even some resists. I chose Modest over Timid as I see no point running timid since Heatran is slow. The moves that I chose give me all the coverage I need to get rid of all the things that can wall my Tyranitar. Earth Power is for opposing Heatran.

Reuniclus@Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Bold
~ Calm Mind
~ Recover
~ Psyshock
~ Focus Blast

Reuniclus is my main counter to Stall Teams and is my late game sweeper. After a few Calm Minds, barely anything can touch me on the special side. Heatran also provides a good support to Reuniclus getting rid of Scizor while Reuniclus gets rid of the blobs. I chose Psyshock over Psychic to win CM wars although sometimes I regret not going for Psychic since Conkeldurr is such a huge threat to my team once Gliscor is down. Focus Blast for opposing Tyranitar and other Steel-types.

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 176 SpA / 20 Spe
Nature: Quiet
~ Substitute
~ Focus Punch
~ Crunch
~ Ice Beam

And here we go. The Pokemon in which this team is built around. SubPuncher Tyranitar. With the chosen moves, I can hit a lot of Pokemon and dent everything else with Focus Punch. Tyranitar's substitutes are bulky and can survive weak attacks allowing me to use Focus Punch with impunity. Substitute isn't just there for Focus Punching. It is also there to protect me from burns and poison. I don't really mind being paralyzed since Tar is already slow. Also, this set can get rid of Wobbuffet since Tar is immune to Mirror Coat and I can just spam Ice Beam.

Gliscor@Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 Spe
Nature: Impish
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Fang
~ Protect
~ Swords Dance

Most of my teams really can't work without either Gliscor or Scizor -.- Terrakion is such a huge threat that I always have to pack a counter or else I get swept. Gliscor is chosen for this team since I have three ground weak Pokemon and two fighting weak Pokemon all of which Gliscor can take all day. I used the standard SD set so that I can get rid of Bulk Up Conkeldurr which is a threat to the team as well.

Keldeo@Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
~ Hydro Pump
~ Secret Sword
~ Hidden Power Electric
~ Surf

I had to replace Suicune 'cause I needed a revenge killer and a +1 Gyarados check. I also needed a late game cleaner and Keldeo seems to be able to perform all of these. Keldeo is also a good check against opposing sand teams as Gliscor can't take on a Landorus thanks to the risk of HP Ice. As for the other moves, Hydro Pump and Secret Sword are general. Surf is chosen for the last move to clean up late game and for having a reliable STAB that doesn't miss which is sometimes crucial. This set is walled by Lati@s but I have Tar to threaten them out.

Gastrodon@Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Nature: Sassy
~ Earthquake
~ Scald
~ Toxic
~ Recover

GASTRODON !!! The best wall against Rotom-W. This is also my best check against Rain Teams and Thundurus. Though sometimes Gastrodon is just death fodder (it's not bulky if you look into it), it's not much of a dead weight to the team since Gastrodon performs a really good job at what it does. Not much to say since moves are standard.

Conclusion

Like I said, fast and strong Pokemon pose a huge threat to this team. I have replaced Jirachi with a Suicune then Keldeo to deal with the threats but I still have trouble against solid stall teams. That's pretty much it. Thanks for reading and leave nice rates. I would appreciate it if you guys would post an actual rate instead of just saying "nice team" though saying that still makes me feel proud of what I've done. A Luvdisc is also nice ;)
