I haven't been playing OU much until the Wcop came into play. I figured I'd need to shake my rust off and try to get back into the metagame. After testing various teams..from Rain Stall to Sunny Day teams, I figured they were just not for me. I therefore decided to base a team around Sabelye, it got a neat ability and can stop potential sweeps from the likes of Salamence or Landorus with priority WOW.
I don't like to type alot so I'll keep this short and simple, the teambuilding process was very simple, and to be honest I get a random Pokemon and add 5 random Pokemon until it looks decent in my eyes and usually the team turns out to be shite except in a few cases(my bestest HO team a year ago with the Dual Screens Espeon).
This team hit 1420 last night (10th place then under the alt SOMALIA) but fell quite a bit due to shit luck and Pokemon being a fucking shitass game.
The team....(My grammar might suck but dgf)
DRAGON (Dragonite) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 112 Atk / 200 SAtk / 196 Spd
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
- ExtremeSpeed
- Earthquake
Wanted to try a new kind of stallbreaker/element of surprise, so I chose him. I almost never lead with him unless the opponent is using a Heavy offense team which packs a combination of threatening Pokemon. Fire Blast does a massive chunk to Skarmory doing more than 80% and has the added benefit of trashing Ferrothorn but they usually don't stay in on Dnite anyways >->. Draco Meteor strikes Gliscor hard and easily OHKOes most variants, it also is used to just pick of randomass sweepers like Landorus or w.e. Extremespeed is something most people think I lack for some reason once I reveal the Life Orb..but it just means I can surprise kill weakened weaklings like Latios who is a massive pain for the team. Can't use Superpower since I like Multiscale, I stick the middle finger to inner Focus as its shite. EQ ain't that bad anyways, as once I reveal that I pack Fire Blast and D.Meteor, peeps think I don't have the EQ and bring in their Terakion and usually go for CC or try to set up only to get smashed by EQ.
Adm.Kizaru (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Fire Punch
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
Standard-ass revenge killer / nigga who comes in on Latios most of the time. I usually conserve Jirachi for midgame to start to shift momentum to my side. The team does not like taking many hits and Jirachi is the only one who can take several and still live to tell the tale. I never lead with this thing, its too weak and fairs bad against the weather inducers(even Ttar can set rocks on it and getting locked into Iron Head is pretty stupid so early in the game whilst Abamsnowman can just protect and scout). Fire Punch to destroy Scizor and Ferrothorn. Ice Punch is welcomed as there are alot of situation where it is Jirachi vs a weakened SD Gliscor at the end of the match and I can just do a nice 60% to it and finish it off. Dragonites also get beaten up by this little bundle of joy.
Adm.Aokiji (Rotom-W) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Trick
Beast. Usually lead with him when Politoed is lead of with Volt Switch and go to Nite to absorb the hit. Choice Specs Hydro Pump does 50% to Latios so that's pretty beastly, I got trick to fuck up stall teams and render their Chansey useless meaning its DED. HP Ice as I have paranoia of Dragon-types sweeping me. I use a Modest nature to allow other lead Rotoms to usually outspeed me so I can VS after they do and secondly, I like the RAW power it gives. Rotom-w is a great member as it prevents Landorus from spamming EQ as well as catching sun teams of guard as they bring their Sawsbuck or w.e the heck you call it and they get Tricked specs..zehahahaha.
GECKO MORIA (Sableye) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 240 HP / 240 Def / 28 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Foul Play
- Recover
- Taunt
The Demon himself. This thing saves me alot...burns sweepers and causes havoc amongst pure stall teams. Heavy Offense teams get double fucked as I usually target their Special sweepers first and once theyre gone its pretty much GG. Foul Play is those pheasents who think they can outsmart me and bring their Latios into an anticipated WOW, only to lose alot of health to Foul Play. It also allows me to finish of burnt set up sweepers easily. Taunt is cool, I don't want hazards on my field, full stop The EVs are pretty much straight forward..or maybe not. One thing I do is use randomass evs for everything and I dunno the purpose of these but I tank Physical hits nicely, that's enough said about this guy.
Adm.Akainu (Darmanitan) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
I just revenge kill other shit with this thing. Helps with Steels and almost everything bar Water-types. Good dog. Sheer Force makes this thing really hard to counter if your Dragonite ain't at full HP or you lack a Suicune! Gliscor is 2hkoed everything just gets N[JV B by this thing heeehawwww.
THE ROCK (Terrakion) @ Rock Gem
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
Smashes holes in the opponents team so easily, I always outplay everyone with this thing cause im the king but w.e I usually SD then sub as they switch to let something else die. This set I won't ever change, screw the scarf,banded, and LO sets -spits- Anyhow this thing is the main muscle of the team and Rotom-W usually lures in Pokes that Terakion can set up on, which is great! Stone Edge boosted by Rock gem at +2 OHKO some Gliscor, realy hurts Slowbro and does like 100% damage to Reuncliys always but one day it did 99% so fuck Pokemon once again for low damage roles.
This is the team, it is weak to SPECS LATIOS oooooo. I need to remedy this problem without changing much, especially not Terakion and Sabeleye.
Thats the team.
