Good Day everyone welcome to my new serperior base team, The serperior advantage, making use of a new core involving everyone's favourite grass snake. Inspiration came from the corse thread in the ou competitive section, where a core for mega gyarados, serperior and talon flame existed for a nicely packaged, fire/water/grass core. Now with out further adue the team.
Contrary
4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
-Leaf Storm
-Dragon Pulse
-Hidden Power (Fire)
-Giga Drain
Serperior, an interesting pokemon, filling a role in ou no other pokemon can, a blitzing contrary abuser. Thanks to contrary serperior can fire off base 130 stab move, which at the end of the day, boosts it's mediocre special attack 2 stages! Her movepool may be barren but it's passable enough to make do. the set utilities the standard move set for serperior, leaf storm for stab boosting move, hidden power fire for steels, grass types ect., dragon pulse for decent neutral coverage against dragon types and giga drain as an offensive healing move, and the eves as standard for maximum special offensive. Serperior acts to take out the water based threats, namely rotom-w, which are a threat to the other 2 members of the core.
Gale Wings
80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Jolly
-brave bird
-Flare Blitz
-Roost
-Swords Dance
Talonflame the second member of the initial core core of the team, talonflame deals with the nasty steel, grass and fire types out that serperior and gyarados cannot reliably handle. The set is the standard swords dance set, with roost for healing purposes, swords dance to boost and sweep and duel stab recoil moves to lay the hurt on the opposing pokemon. eves are to maximize offensive presence, the eves and nature allow for maximum bulk and offensive, while out speeding relevant threats such as thunderous, in addition to being non divisible by 4 at level 50 or 100 .
Intimidate
88 Hp / 192 Atk / 4 SpD / 224 Spe
Jolly
-Waterfall
-Crunch
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
The water half and final member of the initial F/G/W core, mega gyarados deals with the biggest threat to the team -heatran, who walls talonflame and serperior, while being a ferrothorn in the side of scizor. The dragon dance set allows for gyarados to set up and sweep or weaken threats such as lando-t for talonflame to finish off in a pinch. The set is a straight farward all out attacking dragon dancer with maxium eves in attack and speed with an adamant nature to hit hard, with 4 hp eves to remain negative at level 50 or 4 def at level 100, through it's not entirely relevant unless gyarados plans to stay as a non mega. Earthquake has been added to better deal with rotom-w. On adivce from slumerz, i changed nature and ev set.
Levitate
24 Atk / SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
-Draco meteor
-earthquake
-psyshosck
-Defog
With talonflame and to a lesser extent, gyarados on the team, the need for some hazard control is vital. Latios ()not only is on of the best in the ou tier at this job, but latias complments nicely with talonflame in terms of it's typing, drawing away electric and water attacks away from it. The set is another simple straight forward offensive defogger set, maximum speed and special attack, with on the suggestion of albaore to use earthquake to nail heatran.
Flash Fire
4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
timid
-Stone Edge
-Flash cannon
-Earth Power
-Fire Blast
On the suggestion of pirate, heatran replaces scizor as the teams go to steel, as a choic scarf user heatran takes pride of place through killing threats such as talonflame and revenging slow dragons such as garchomp with relative impunity. The set allows heatran to hit hard with stab overheat, flash cnanon for fairies, hp cie for quad ice weak pokemon and stone edge for talonflame and pals. Eves are distrobutd to maximize special attacking potential.
Intimidate
248 Hp / 252 Def / 8 Spe
-stone edge
-earthquake
-u-turn
-Stealth Rock
Albacore suggested a more offensive sr user for the team as clefable was a bit docile. His set is the straight forward bulky pivot, with max hp and defense with a little in speed to outpace uni vested base 90 tier speed pokemon.
