Introduction:

Yes here's is my second RMT. I've been testing that team and is working good, but I need you help because I want to make it better.

A closer look:

hippowdon.gif


Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

- Stealth Rock
Rock.png


- Whirlwind
Normal.png


- Earthquake
Ground.png


- Slack Off
Normal.png


The main function of Hippowdon is to weather inducer.

Hippowdon, because their defenses can wall some pokemons like Terrakion, Lucario and Dragonite.

Furthermore, due to earthquake move It can beat many of those pokemons.

I should also mention the whirlwind move which causes the pokemon to be replaced by another and thus avoid a sweep or to defeat the opposite theam thanks to the residual damage.

Stealth Rock is to help the team and to break the annoying Focus Sash.

Slack Off is to recover and to stall some pokemons like Flame Orb Conkeldurr.

Item: Flame Orb / Toxic Orb
Trait: Guts
Nature: Adamant

EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 SpD

Moveset:

~ Drain Punch
~ Mach Punch
~ Facade / Ice Punch
~ Payback


latias.gif


Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Draco Meteor

- Hidden Power [Fire]

- Psyshock

- Roost

or

latios.gif


Latios (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Draco Meteor
Dragon.png


- Hidden Power [Fire]
Fire.png


- Psyshock
Psychic.png


- Roost
Flying.png


Latias is a offensive pokemon, not as good as Latios but not that bad. Its function is rather offensive pivot and not Wallbreaker. I should also mention that it is a good wall of Rotom-W, which helps my team enough.

Although his special attack does not seem too high compared to Latio's SpA, Latias can defeat some threats as Keldeo or Thundurus-T, which are quite used in rain.

Hidden Power [Fire] is to defeat Scizor (can use Pursuit) and ferrothorn, (preventing it from setting up Spikes or Stealth Rock).

Then I have Psyshock, which helps against some Pokemons like Calm Mind Keldeo and other fighting types.

Another option would be Psyquic due to the new Conkeldur's set.

Finally I have Roost to recover.


The main threats of this pokemon are Weaville and Tyranitar


terrakion.gif


Terrakion @ Choice Band

Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

- Close Combat
Fighting.png


- Stone Edge
Rock.png


- X-Scissor
Bug.png


- Earthquake
Ground.png


Terrakion is my sweeper. With its incredible attack and the item Choice Band can defeat most pokemon in ou (including Gliscor):

Note: Only in Sand Storm and if rocks are up.

252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 184+ Def Gliscor: 159-187 (44.91 - 52.82%) -- 42.97% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock


Damage that Gliscor does to Terrakion:

0 Atk Gliscor Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Terrakion: 224-266 (69.13 - 82.09%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Gliscor Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Terrakion: 318-374 (98.14 - 115.43%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO


I'm not going to mention all the moves of Terrakoin, because their function is obvious, but I would like to emphasize the movement Earthquake which has the possibility to OHKO Tentacruel.

Damange that Terrakion does to Tentacruel:
252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 236+ Def Tentacruel: 310-366 (85.16 - 100.54%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO

252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 240 Def Tentacruel: 340-400 (93.4 - 109.89%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO

Damange that Terrakion does to Tentacruel after Stealth Rock:

252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 236+ Def Tentacruel: 310-366 (85.16 - 100.54%) -- 81.25% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 240 Def Tentacruel: 340-400 (93.4 - 109.89%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock


Furthermore, as most of Terrakion have Sacred Sword or Quick Atack, Earthquake is unesxpected.

Another option would be to Quick Atack, because my team doesn't have any pokemon with priority moves.

forretress.gif


Forretress (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)

- Spikes
Ground.png


- Hidden Power [Ice]
Ice.png


- Volt Switch
Electric.png
/ Gyro Ball
Steel.png


- Rapid Spin
Normal.png


Forretress is my spinner and also a good check against some dragons like Choice Band Haxorus and Choice Band Kyurem-B

252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 116-137 (32.76 - 38.7%) -- 5.1% chance to 3HKO


252+ Atk Choice Band Kyurem-B Outrage vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 116-137 (32.76 - 38.7%) -- 5.1% chance to 3HKO

252 Atk Kyurem-B Fusion Bolt vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 79-93 (22.31 - 26.27%) -- possible 5HKO


Damange that Kyurem-B and Haxorus do to Forrestress after Stealth Rock:

252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 116-137 (32.76 - 38.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock

252- Atk Choice Band Kyurem Outrage vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 78-92 (22.03 - 25.98%) -- possible 4HKO after Stealth Rock

252 Atk Kyurem-B Fusion Bolt vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Forretress: 79-93 (22.31 - 26.27%) -- possible 4HKO after Stealth Rock


Damange that Forretress does to Haxorus and Kyurem-B:

0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (93 BP) vs. 36 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 102-120 (33.77 - 39.73%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (74 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem-B: 146-174 (37.34 - 44.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Damange that Forrtress does to Terrakion:

Choice Band Terrakion: 0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (113 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Terrakion: 242-288 (74.69 - 88.88%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Choice Scarf Terrakion: 0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Terrakion: 324-384 (100 - 118.51%) -- guaranteed OHKO

To finish I have Hidden Power [Ice], wich is a good move against Gliscor, Landorus and Garchomp

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Gliscor: 184-220 (51.97 - 62.14%) -- 62.5% chance to 2HKO

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Landorus: 176-208 (55.17 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 200 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 180-212 (48.78 - 57.45%) -- 45.31% chance to 2HKO

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 168-200 (47.05 - 56.02%) -- 76.17% chance to 2HKO


Damange that does Forretress to Gliscor, Landorus -T and Landorus after Stealth Rock:

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Gliscor: 184-220 (51.97 - 62.14%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Landorus: 176-208 (55.17 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 200 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 180-212 (48.78 - 57.45%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

56 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 168-200 (47.05 - 56.02%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

As you can see apart from being a good spinner Fortress is a good wall too that can check some threats if Hippowdon is dead.

Because of that bulk Forretress can easily set up Spikes which helps the team.

If the opponent doesn't have a spinner and Stealth Rock adn Spikes are up the opponent is pretty much dead.

Another option could be Volt Switch, but as you can see Gyroball is a better move for that team.

Gyroball can also hit Espeon and Gengar with predict.

heatran.gif


Heatran (F) @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Fire Blast
Fire.png


- Hidden Power [Ice]
Ice.png


- Overheat
Fire.png


- Earth Power
Ground.png



Heatran is my revenge Killer, with the choice item I can defeat some threats like Dragonite or Garchomp.

Damange that heatran does to Garchomp:

252+ SpA Heatran Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 384-456 (107.56 - 127.73%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Modest Nature)

Another option could be a Timid Nature so I can outspeed Dragonite after a Dragon Dance (Adamant version) but then I can't OHKO Garchomp.

As you can see the main function of Heatran in my team is to defeat some dragons and to stop sun teams and also deafeat other heatran with earth power.

Heatran can also hit Tentacruel, which is bit annoying in rain.


rotom-wash.gif


Rotom-W @ Leftovers

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 28 SAtk / 232 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

- Volt Switch
Electric.png


- Hydro Pump
Water.png


- Thunder Wave
Electric.png


- Pain Split
Normal.png



And finally Rotom-W because I had nothing to stop rain. The main function of Rotom-w is to wall Tornadus, politoed (not the specs version) and check Thundurus and Keldeo.

Then I have Thunder Wave because I can easily predict the change to Lati@s and paralyse them.

Pain Split is just to recover my Hp.

Thunder Wave can also be replaced by Will-o-Wisp, just to burn Gastrodon, and Pain Split can be replaced by Hp [Grass], so It can hit Gastrodon.

28 SpA Rotom-W Hidden Power Grass vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Gastrodon: 180-212 (42.25 - 49.76%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Threat list:

Offensive threat list:

380.png
Latias and
381.png
Latios: Which can easily predict my change into Heatran and use surf. Also Hidden power [Ice] can't OHKO them.

Heatran damange:

252+ SpA Heatran Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Latias: 136-160 (45.03 - 52.98%) -- 28.13% chance to 2HKO (Latias can't defeat my Heatran, but has Roost so it can stall me).


252+ SpA Heatran Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Latios: 156-184 (51.65 - 60.92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
