mega ou team

chaotictyranitar


Ferrothorn (tank)
Ability:iron Barbs
Nature:Sassy
Item:Leftovers
EVs:252 Hp / 252 Spd / 4 def
-Gyro Ball
-Power Whip
-Spikes
-Thunderwave

Role: My new lead pokemon. He is here to set up as many spikes as he possibly can.. His EVs make him a pretty good tank. Gyro Ball deals tons of damage to quicker foes like Thundrus. Power Whip will destroy bulky water pokemon.Spikes is a great entry hazard. He is 4x weak to fire so i can just switch to heatran when i predict fire moves. Thunder wave is for crippling sweepers. I decided to replace SR being heatran knows it.


Dragonite
Ability: Multi Scale
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
-Outrage
-Extremespeed
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance

Role: Dragonite, my new main sweeper. I have swampert and mammowswine so I can switch into electric moves that target him. Dragon dance is his set up move so he will be ready to sweep. Mammowswone also is a good switch in for ice moves. With multiscale Dragonite can almost always set up a dragon dance. With starmie's rapod spin i can usually use multiscale. After one dragon dance outrage will kill almost anything. For what resists it such as steel pokemon i have earthquake. With extremespeed he an outspeed priority users.I don't have him with bulky dd because i think he can live without the extra bulk due to multiscale and wanted more power for him. He can kill fightings which my team is a little weak to.


name: Bulk Up
move 1: Bulk Up
move 2: Drain Punch
move 3: Mach Punch
move 4: Payback
item: Flame Orb
ability: Guts
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 def

Role: He is a bulky fighting type. I have ferrothorn to deal with special threats so i gave his evs to hp instead of special defence. I usually set up one bulk up to make him a monster offensively and defensively. I use drain punch for massive power and i get in a lot of healing. Payback is for psychic pokemon like slowbro. It saves me a lot. Mach punch is for priority because of his slow speed. He can also be a pretty good status absorber. I switched fatmence out for him because i needed a good fighting pokemon.


Mamoswine (Tusks)
Ability:Snow Cloak
Nature:Adamant
Item:Choice Scarf
4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
-Ice Shard
-Icicle Drop
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge

Role: Mamowswine is here to clean up after dragonite sweep. Also my team is weak to thunder types so he is a very nice counter to Thundurus. Ice Shard is for if any dragons have scarfs and i can no longer outrun them. Earthquake is his main STAB. Icicle Drop is a monster. is STAB for pokemon that resist earthquake. Stone Edge is for coverage. Great for dragons that target dragonite. Probably my favorite pokemon on the team. He has saved more than any other pokemon has. He just can't be stopped once i start using icicle drop.I know choice band is reccomended but it does not work well for me. With a scarf he can kill almost all dragons and Thundrus. Choice scarf mammowswine is a monster. His ground type lets me switch in on electric.


Heatran (meteor)
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest
Item: Air Balloon
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
-Stealth Rock
-Fire Blast
-Hidden Power Ice
-Earth Power

Role:he can switch into fire type moves that would hurt mammowswine or ferrothorn, ice moves that could hurt dragonite ,and even some electric moves targeted at starmie. With the boost from flash fire he can be extremely powerful. Stealth Rock is for added entry hazard. fire blast is main stab. Hidden power ice kills dragons. Earthpower kills rock and other fire pokemon. Supports Ferrothorn and skarmory nicely.


Starmie
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
-Hydro Pump
-Rapid Spin
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt

Role: starmie is my rapid spin support because stealth rock severely hurts Dragonite because it ruins muiltiscale .Hydro Pump can kill fire pokemon which he can switch in on that threaten Ferrothorn, and Mammowswine. Thunderbolt is great for other water types and flying types. Ice beam gets rid of dragon types and makes starmie a great counter to thundrus. He is extremely fast and deadly. Thinking about teaching him psychic to deal with fighting weakness.

No offense but it looks like you kinda just threw all your favorite pokemon into one team, can you give us any idea of the synergy here? Unless your going for hyper offense, in which case synergy matters less, but you still need to have some pretty powerful pokemon, I don't see you sweeping with electrivire.

I would consider replacements for Yanmega, Electrivire, and Krookadile.

As for individual pokemon...

Metagross: hammer arm + earthquake is pretty redundant, I would switch hammer arm out for another moves, like some sort of elemental punch.

Heatran: flame charge isn't that great, I would suggest you switch it for substitute or overheat or even stealth rocks.

Starmie: scald isn't great on an offensive team like this, swift for hydro pump or surf. Also psychic is pretty shitty, switch for ice beam. Also switch modest for timid, all the other natures are debatable, but I know Starmie needs timid for several threats.

thanks for the suggestions but i would at least like to keep yanmega. What should i replace Krookodile and Elective or maybe yanmega with?
 

Aeromence

swampert doesn't learn spikes...
definently replace krookodile and electivire, krookodile with a salamence maybe? a set like this would be good, covers a few weaknesses

name: FatMence
move 1: Wish
move 2: Roost/Protect
move 3: Dragon Tail
move 4: Flamethrower/Fire Blast
nature: Bold
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe

good wall and passes wishes to ur team
now for an electivire replacement:

name: Thundurus
move 1: Nasty Plot
move 2: Thunderbolt
move 3: Hidden Power Ice
move 4: Focus Blast / Taunt
item: Life Orb / Leftovers
ability: Prankster
nature: Timid
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

and if u want to replace yanmega, try this set out:

name: Scizor
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Bullet Punch
move 3: Bug Bite / Superpower
move 4: Roost
item: Leftovers / Life Orb
nature: Adamant
ability: Technician
evs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SpD

Great set, real tank, and lures fire moves so heatran can come in and grab a free boost.

On heatran, use taunt over flame charge, it makes a good stallbreaker and ur team cant really break stall. also use modest on it

A wish passing Salamence? That's... odd. I've honestly never even heard of one.

As an alternate Dragon:

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor / Surf
- Psychic
- Grass Knot
- Dragon Pulse

When all is said and done and the EVs are calculated, Latios has 350 Speed and nearly 360 Sp. Atk, easily outspeeding anything under Base 110 Speed. Make sure you don't switch to Soul Dew though, then it becomes Ubers.

If you want a Wish passer, this Vaporeon has saved me several times on my hyper-offensive team:

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Protect
- Scald
- Toxic
 

Aeromence

trust me, fatmence is so much bulkier than u think, and ur team has the perfect resistences to exploit it. test it out, youll c. over vapoeron, use blissey. like a boss
 

Poke a Man

if you're going to use choice specs, switch out latias for latios. latios has more special attack than latias, so it is better suited for a choice item.

switching taunt for stealth rock on heatran might be more helpful in the long run. taunting heatran is not a very good stallbreaker since it can't recover damage from seismic tosses, etc., and most defensive pokemon that heatran is switching into, such as ferrothorn, are going to be switching out immediately into something that can OHKO it, like starmie or surf latios. stealth rock, on the other hand, is very useful for your sweepers, who appreciate the extra damage caused from switching in.

Your team is also easily swept by thundurus. Since you only have 1 Electric resistance (who can be KO'd by +2 LO Hidden Power Ice), I'd suggest switching Metagross for a CB Mamoswine.

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Snow Cloak
4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
-Ice Shard
-Icicle Drop
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge

Mamoswine can easily switch into basically any move Thundurus might use besides a Focus Blast/Hammer Arm and OHKO with Ice Shard. This is also helpful against opposing Haxorus and other dragons, Virizion, Landorus, and even Gliscor. It has decent synergy with Vappy and Yanmega too. I'd personally use Adamant, but Jolly helps if you need to outspeed timid heatran.
The only thing you lose is the rock resist, but starmie still checks Terakion if you don't allow it to Rock Polish, which most of your team can prevent if you play carefully, and the only other user of STAB rock moves in OU has not been using that STAB much as of late. (BTW, I'm referring to Ttar and the SR/Ice Beam/Fire Blast/Pursuit set) You also lose Pursuit, but if you switch in Metagross to Jellicent, chances are they either know what you are going to do and stay in and WoW you, or will just WoW you anyway. Besides, the loss of Rotom-a and Dusknoir's further unusablity in Gen V make ghost types uncommon in OU anyway, so spinning will be easy enough usually.
Speaking of Starmie, you really should use Surf or Hydro Pump over Scald. Scald is better suited for defensive pokemon who prefer the possibility of additional passive damage over power, like your vaporeon. The extra power in Surf and Hydro Pump comes in handy when trying to revenge kill.
 

Bone Dragon

Your Latias seems pretty offensive...so why not just run the exact same set except with a Latios? Also, I would recommend giving Substitute a try on Heatran over Taunt, I have found it to work pretty well. And Heatran obviously isn't the fastest Taunter in the world.

Love the salemance set thanks.
 

Aeromence

on gyarados, use taunt over stone edge and go bulkier. he needs more dds now that ferrothorn is in existence. with offencive, mence outclasses it, except for the nice water STAB. he has better coverage and a better STAB move. too bad u already have a mence :( go bulky dd or get rid of it. something like dnite, scizor, or gliscor can go in that slot, cos u need a bit of bulk in that team. swampert is a lead, so don't expect him to survive long, so all u have for bulk is to hope that u can keep mence alive for most of the game.

Starmie can sweep too, so try tbolt over psychic, cos that isn't getting u anywhere, and use hydro pump over surf; the xtra power is appreciated.
 

GreasyPanda

maybe swap swampert for Ferrothorn as it learns both stealth rock and spikes. Also it can tempt fire moves which you can switch into Heatran
 

Olijolly

Yo, I'll try to give some suggestions from my itouch
For you dragonite get rid of life orb for lefties since lo with multiscale is a bad idea. Also try out the standard bulky set on your nite to make a better use of its monstrous bulk. Also fatmence is a meh. Replace it with the standard wish jirachi to fight against latis and more bulk on general

Why are you running Ice Shard on a Scarfed Mamoswine? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of being Scarfed?
I suggest running Icicle Spear so you can kill subbed targets (all subseeders, Sub Thundurus, SubCM Latias, etc)
 

Aeromence

mamo's main niche is to revenge boosted dragons, so therefore ice shard is necessary. dont use ferro as a lead, cos hes completely shut down by taunt and hes too slow
