So after playing with a rain team for a couple of weeks, I finally got bored of it and decided to make another team. It would be gimmicky but at the same time competitive. My love for first gen sparked the gimmick; I would work with nothing but first gen Pokemon, but try to make them compatible with each other and viable for OU play. It's a team of 5 UUs and 1 NU (Or 3 UUs, 2 OUs and an NU, depending on where you play).
I tested out the team for a little bit, not knowing that I would soon get into an epic battle that I felt the need to share with you all. Again, this is a new team and I'm still trying to figure out how to play it perfectly, and work on its weaknesses.
Here's a replay:

I decide to make my first misplay of the game on the very first turn. This Mew is running both Stealth Rock and Taunt. I SHOULD'VE put up Stealth Rocks here, but for some stupid reason I thought that this thing was going to put up his own Stealth Rocks, so like an idiot, I taunt him. Turns out he didn't set up Stealth Rock after all (I'm just as surprised as you are). He U-turned, which I honestly should've expected 100%.

What a great start to the match. I just taunted an offensive Pokemon, essentially wasting a turn, and now I have weather to deal with. Since he U-turned into this T-tar, he obviously has a plan for the Mew. I guess he was either Scarfed or was hoping to wall a specially offensive Mew. Unfortunately for him, this Mew has Superpower and is EVd to 1HKO Tyranitar with it. It would suck if he's scarfed, but the opportunity to 1HKO this thing right off the bat is too good to pass up.

Wait, what? I'm sorry, why did you U-turn into a Tyranitar if you were just going to switch AGAIN without doing anything? Maybe he was overpredicting and thought he'd make a pro double switch? No, sorry, you're getting a Superpower to tha face to tha face.

Yeah, that's right. Can't like that too much, can you? Especially with residual Sandstorm damage. But yeah, I'm definitely switching out this Mew now.

Unfortunately the damage calc I use is down for me, and every other damage calc sucks, so I won't know for a while if that crit would have mattered or not. I call in my Nidoking, because it's my best attacker, and it can 1HKO 3 of his remaining 5 pokes, and outspeed thanks to the scarf I have on it.

Awesome! Thank you Infernape, for providing Nidoking with one of the cleanest 1HKOs it'll ever see. Cat's out of the bag though, he knows I'm scarfed, thus locked into Earth Power, so no doubt Landorus is gonna come out to play.
DrBug sent out Demeteros (Landorus)!
Yerp, there he is! Gotta get out of there. I switch into Slowbro to tank his attack, but it turns out to do 38%, which kinda sucks. I guess Landorus + Sandstorm is just that powerful.

Predicting the switch, I take the opportunity to wish up and get Slowbro to 100%. Probably wasn't the best move, I probably should've gone for a Toxic, but I didn't want to risk wasting another turn, because a perfectly healthy Scizor can switch in at any time. Seismic Toss would've been a good option too since Gengar was out. I just wanted to play it safe and keep the team as healthy as possible.

Nothing on my move list will hurt Tyranitar more than Earth Power. Unfortunately though, this might mean he switches into Landorus. I want to take that risk though. I want to hurt this thing.

Props:
- To Nidoking, for taking out 5 of 6 Pokemon and living with 3% to end the battle, like a boss.
- To the battle, for being so back-and-forth the whole way through.
- To Slowbro, for getting the key Toxic off that greatly assisted in winning the game.
- To my opponent having unorthodox movesets for some Pokemon, I admire the creativity.
Slops:
- To Mew (me), for not getting Stealth Rock up at the beginning of the game >.<
- To Machamp, for being a useless piece of shoot in the battle, and in my team in general.
- To hax. I got none in this battle, and he got lotz.
- To misplays on both ends. Seriously, your T-tar had Flamethrower and a Magneton was out! And why couldn't I have just gotten Stealth Rocks up!!
Thanks for watching ladies and gents, hope you enjoyed. Tell me how I did.
I tested out the team for a little bit, not knowing that I would soon get into an epic battle that I felt the need to share with you all. Again, this is a new team and I'm still trying to figure out how to play it perfectly, and work on its weaknesses.

Unfortunately the damage calc I use is down for me, and every other damage calc sucks, so I won't know for a while if that crit would have mattered or not. I call in my Nidoking, because it's my best attacker, and it can 1HKO 3 of his remaining 5 pokes, and outspeed thanks to the scarf I have on it.

Perfect! Here's one of the three. This Infernape thinks it can outspeed and power through me? You're about to get disappointed, chump.

Awesome! Thank you Infernape, for providing Nidoking with one of the cleanest 1HKOs it'll ever see. Cat's out of the bag though, he knows I'm scarfed, thus locked into Earth Power, so no doubt Landorus is gonna come out to play.
DrBug sent out Demeteros (Landorus)!
Yerp, there he is! Gotta get out of there. I switch into Slowbro to tank his attack, but it turns out to do 38%, which kinda sucks. I guess Landorus + Sandstorm is just that powerful.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I guess he saw the stall war coming and couldn't be bothered to engage in it. This Scizor kinda sucks for me, it's gonna U-turn, so switching out isn't exactly an option. I go for a Scald here because nothing on his team really enjoys taking a Scald and a burn.

Predicting the switch, I take the opportunity to wish up and get Slowbro to 100%. Probably wasn't the best move, I probably should've gone for a Toxic, but I didn't want to risk wasting another turn, because a perfectly healthy Scizor can switch in at any time. Seismic Toss would've been a good option too since Gengar was out. I just wanted to play it safe and keep the team as healthy as possible.

Well done Slowpro, time to get you out of there. Hopefully Chansey will get the opportunity to bail you out again. And good news, she's got Heal Bell! Hey Tyranitar, wanna try another Thunderbolt? Nidoking wants to come in.

Nothing on my move list will hurt Tyranitar more than Earth Power. Unfortunately though, this might mean he switches into Landorus. I want to take that risk though. I want to hurt this thing. I want to rip its head off and bring it back to my village and mount it on my wall in the name of victory. Screw it, let's do it, Nidoking! Come on Tyranitar, fight me mano a mano! Don't run away!

.....Wuss. Well, I'm screwed. >.< There's nothing on this team that likes taking a Sandstorm Earthquake. Slowbro is in no position to fight, but I feel like I can still use him in the future, so I don't want to fodder him. Since Tyranitar has been poisoned, Machamp is less of an asset for me in this battle than ever. Sorry, champ, you gotta be the sacrificial lamb. There's no other way.

I guess he wants to fodder his Rotom-W now. Can't take the risk of Rotom-W being scarfed and 1HKOing Nidoking with Hydro Pump, so I gotta send out Magneton here. The plan is to sub, let sandstorm finish Rotom-W, and just try to whittle down Tyranitar as much as I can for Nidoking to make the last stand.. Fingers crossed that Magneton lives a Hydro Pump with more than 25% left, or I lose. >.<

Props:
- To Nidoking, for taking out 5 of 6 Pokemon and living with 3% to end the battle, like a boss.
- To the battle, for being so back-and-forth the whole way through.
- To Slowbro, for getting the key Toxic off that greatly assisted in winning the game.
- To my opponent having unorthodox movesets for some Pokemon, I admire the creativity.
Slops:
- To Mew (me), for not getting Stealth Rock up at the beginning of the game >.<
- To Machamp, for being a useless piece of shoot in the battle, and in my team in general.
- To hax. I got none in this battle, and he got lotz.
- To misplays on both ends. Seriously, your T-tar had Flamethrower and a Magneton was out! And why couldn't I have just gotten Stealth Rocks up!!
Thanks for watching ladies and gents, hope you enjoyed. Tell me how I did.
