Hi everyone I am new to the showdown forums and the world of OU. Pretty much I'm just going to paste my team from showdown here and try to give some information on them and please provide proggessive criticism, Thanks!. Here we go!
Breloom @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Low Sweep
- Spore
I chose breloom for this team because he is my favorite poke from ruby. His ability technician already helps give most of his moves some extra 'Oomf.' I gave him a choice band to let him hit a little bit harder to make sure most of times I use him it will be a 2HKO - 3HKO. I also gave him bullet seed to cover water types like starmie and the ever so rare poliwhirl. I chose low sweep over other fighting moves for the speed drop. Spore is really helpful in knocking enemies to sleep and letting me switch for a better match up or to reset my attack choice. Now to the Evs: I gave him max special defense and 4hp to be a little bulky and to withstand some boosted attacks. Max attack for obvious reasons. And a jolly nature to give him some extra speed.
Gothitelle @ Choice Specs
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 SPAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Trick
I chose gothitelle for this team to go alongside rapidash and to try a new poke out. He has choice specs for the same reason breloom has a choice band. I chose shadow tag to ensnare my foe to make them stay. Psychic, HP Ice and T-Bolt for coverage. And trick to basically have fun and joke with the opponent if things were going south. Special and regular defense to be a tiny bit bulky and special attack for obvious reasons.
Starmie @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
I chose starmie because as we all know OU is littered with tiny rocks and spikes, so we need a spinner. I scarfed him to make him the speed racer of the team. Ice beam T=bolt and psychic for coverage and rapid spin because SR. I gave him defenses to not be incredibly frail like an evee taking a dynamic punch from a supped up machoke. Evs in defenses to not be an evee getting hit by a mac truck. and special attack because offense
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Protect
We all know why I chose ferro. To add to the inevitably increasing pile of rocks in OU. But this one stuns them to add both a crippling effect and to be a joker.
Rapidash @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Flame Charge
- Megahorn
- Wild Charge
Now rapidash I had some fun with. This set is actually really good. The boosted power from CB and the greatest stab ever(Flame Charge)makes an awesome combo. Evs are self explanatory.
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SPDef / 4 Hp
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Protect
And now we come to chansey a wall among China. Chansey is a great support for this team and a great staller as well. Evs are self explanatory.
Anyways that is my team please help me make it better by being awesome and criticizing me. Thank you all and have a wonderful battle.
Edit: Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
