Not open for further replies.
My first RMT.

Disclaimer: I know that Genesect/Tornadus-T will return to Ubers very soon, but couldn't resist to use them while I could.


Entry Hazard
Smeargle (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Stealth Rock
- Sticky Web
- Parting Shot

Smeargle, a dedicated lead, with the standard Spore/Stealth Rock/Sticky Web and the less common, Parting Shot. I have tried Taunt and Magic Coat earlier, and I guess taunt is kinda against stuff like Ferrothorn, but I honestly think Parting Shot is a better option in more situations.

Synergy
Fighting: Tornadus-T


Spinner/Sandstorm Sweeper
Excadrill (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
- Earthquake

Excadrill, Sand Rush Excadrill. Not very common what I've seen. (Everybody seems using Mold Breaker
nowadays.) I picked Excadrill because he's probably the best spinner right now with ¼x resistans to Rock and immunity to Toxic Spikes.

Synergy:
Fighting: Tornadus-T
Ground: Tornadus-T, Mandibuzz
Water & Fire: None :( (The only two types my team dosen't resist.)


Wall/Weather Setter
Hippowdon (M) @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Def / 248 HP / 8 SpD
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Whirlwind

Hippowdon, the teams weather setter. I'm using Toxic instead of Stealth Rock because I don't need another Stealth Rock setter. The item/ability/other moves is pretty obvious. Earthquake for STAB, and Smooth Rock for longer sandstorm.

Synergy:
Ice: Excadrill
Grass: Genesect, Tornadus-T, Mandibuzz
Water: None



Wall
Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 208 Def / 52 Spd / 250 HP
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Roost
- Toxic
- Foul Play

Walling stuff like Aegislash and Talonflame. Immune to my sandstorm. I have tried Knock Off and Defog but I find this set much better. All four moves I'm using right now is necessary, so there isn't much to change on this one.

Synergy:
Rock: Excadrill, Hippowdon
Electric: Excadrill, Hippowdon
Ice: Genesect
Fairy: Excadrill, Genesect


Special Sweeper
Tornadus-Therian @ Choice Specs
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 Atk
Naive Nature (+Spe, -SpD)
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
- U-turn

Choice Specs Tornadus-T, the special sweeper of my team. Probably not OU much longer, so better use him as long as we can. Grass Knot, the only grass move on my team atm, is good for taking down Rotom-W. I have been tesing Life Orb, but I have better results with Choice Specs, even with U-Turn.

Synergy:
Electric: Hippowdon, Excadrill
Ice: Genesect
Rock: Excadrill


Physical Sweeper
Genesect @ Life Orb
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Hasty Nature (+Spe, -Def)
- Shift Gear
- Blaze Kick
- Iron Head
- X-Scissor

Physical Shift Gear Genesect (no hate) is the star of the team, sweeping like no one else. No one is expecting Genesect to be physical. Come at me Blissey! STAB Iron Head and X-Scissor. Blaze Kick for coverage. Shift Gear is like the best setup move ever. (Sadly, I'm forced to use Hasty Nature instead of Jolly so my defense is 10% lower than normally.)

Synergy:
Fire: None
 
I'm no expert at competitive battling, so what I say may or may not be accurate, but your team having no resistances to fire/water could be problematic, as half of your team is weak to at least one of those types. I also noticed that you do not have a Mega Evolution on your team. I do not know if that is intentional, but if you want one, you switch Mandibuzz for Mega Venusaur. It has just as effective walling potential, it is immune to Spore and powder moves, and it resists both water and fire (to some extent with Thick Fat). Thick Fat also allows gives it an ice resistance, which is also a big type disadvantage in your team. Here is what I would run:

Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll (Thick Fat)
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
- Giga Drain/Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis
- Hidden Power Fire/Sleep Powder

Other than that, nothing else to point out atm. Nice gifs, btw!

Hello.
Your descriptions are too short to fit the RMT rules requirements. I appreciate that you put a "Synergy section", but it is not really enough, especially if you want in-depth rates.
I encourage you to PM me an updated version of this team with beefed up descriptions, and since you're new, to join the Mentor Program. I'll be unlocking this thread after that.

Nice gifs tho.

Have a nice day.
