So, i wanted to build a UU team around one of the best looking megas, Mega Ampharos. Heres the Team i built, tell me what you think .
The Team:
Cota Cuts (Ampharos-Mega) @ Ampharosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Agility
•Mega Ampharos has Monstrous Special Attack and boosted stats all at the cost of its speed. Agility Helps it outspeed most of the UU metagame, with the exception of pokemon like Sceptile-M and Beedrill-M. Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse are obvious STAB moves and deal massive damage to opponents. Focus blast is in the last attack slot for coverage against Ice types and other pesky things that can become a threath to mega Ampharos
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Toxic
- Rapid Spin
•Forretress is an Excellent lead pokemon mainly because of its ability to almost always set up rocks because of its Ability:Sturdy. It can also work as a spinner in some scenarios to remove other hazards from the field. Toxic can sometimes force a switch, allowing forretress to get some leftovers recovery or switch out, depending on the state youre in. Gyro Ball can be an excellent move in conjunction with its already low speed, a Speed IV of 0, and the Speed reducing Relaxed nature.
Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- ExtremeSpeed
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
•Lucario is probably one of the best sweepers in UU, with is balanced offensive stats, it can be pretty unpredictable at times and destroy teams if allowed to set up. Extreme Speed can get lucario out of some pretty sticky situations and has the potential to OHKO a lot of pokemon with 1 Swords Dance. Bullet Punch and Close Combat make Excellent STAB moves, and when in conjunction with Life Orb, make them pretty hard moves to get around.
Dragalge @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 200 HP / 252 SpA / 56 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Scald
•Dragalge is a very good Special Sweeper, and knowing that it has some pretty good bulk can make it a bit of a struggle to deal with. Draco Meteor with OHKO almost any unresisted pokemon with its ability: Adaptability and the Choice Specs. Hidden Power Fire helps it deal with its Ice type weakness that it would otherwise have trouble dealing with. Scald is a coverage move, and with the possibility to burn, makes it a great move to run on Dragalge.
Entei @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Extreme Speed
- Stone Edge
- Bulldoze
•Entei is my coverage pokemon on this team that can be a big help Mid to Late-Match. Sacred fire having a 50% chance to burn makes it an amazing STAB move to run with Choice Band. Extreme Speed is a good priority move that can OHKO a few pokemon with rather low physical defenses and finish off pokemon with low-ish HP. Stone edge is a good coverage move, while it does have that 15% chance to miss, it is still a great attack that can deal massive damage. Bulldoze is seen pretty commonly on Entei and allows it to check faster pokemon and allow Entei to outspeed
Cresselia @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonlight
- Thunder Wave
- Psychic
- Moonblast
•Cresselia is my Tank for this team. With no investment in Physical Defense, it can still manage to tank some pretty hard hits. Thunder Wave makes it annoying as heck when you wont be able to move half the time and when you think you're about to secure the kill, in comes Moonlight to bring you back to Square One. Psychic is a pretty basic STAB move, Psyshock could also be used instead depending on your situation. Moonblast lets it counter Dark types that it would otherwise be weak to.
