SV OU First time creating own team from scratch. Gen 9 OU

[Sergiyakun]

I am just looking for improvements and critiques for this team. :)


Okidogi @ Leftovers
Ability: Toxic Chain
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Gunk Shot
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off

*Okidogi is my bulky physical sweeper.
The dark tera type I am using for now to have knock off STAB but I feel there is better use or a better tera somewhere in this kid.
Hits pretty hard, and I haven't gotten into stats but he has treated me well.


Misdreavus @ Eviolite
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Draining Kiss
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp

My physical sweeper breaker and fighting/normal type wall.
Draining kiss and will o wisp are great if you can get a calm mind or two off. Issue is this is The Pokemon I d want to swap out but I am not sure what to plug in here .
Maybe even just go full on mismagius? I also am considering a hazard remover mon but don't want to break the team type comp I currently have.


Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Protect
- Toxic

Classic Gliscor really. Toxic is great for taking out the tough Pokemon. Without roost it feels a little big less viable
but he still gets the job done. Not sure how to improve on this one.


Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Flash Cannon
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt

Heatran is a hit or miss depending on who I send out to lead. I usually lead with Heatran and either taunt or
stealth rock depending who the opponent leads with. Usually is neither of those one Magma Storm can trap Pokemon trying to baton pass. I have had magma storm 2hko primaries (idk if that's good) lol


Meowscarada @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Triple Axel
- U-turn
- Knock Off

I quick physical sweep to compensate for a somewhat slow team. This Pokemon feels a little limited when it comes to my battles.
It does work for me but I have to but extra strategic about sending her out. Is choice band the best in slot? Is someone out there who can fill quick sweeper roll better?


Primarina @ Assault Vest
Ability: Torrent
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Flip Turn
- Hydro Pump
- Moonblast
- Psychic

Solid and hard hitting. Can take electric type attacks and all around queen.
That being said I am open to any ideas to polish this team up to be just better,

The Pokemon that are giving me the most trouble are those that get to actually set up and I feel like my team can be a little bit slow? I believe fighting types give me issues and ghost types because of the various moves they have.

Hello!

Just a quick change you could make to the Okidogi set would be to take some of its attack EVs and diverting some into spdef.
Okidogi @ Leftovers
Ability: Guard Dog
EVs: 252 HP / 160 SpD / 96 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Careful Nature
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Ice Punch
The speed allows you to outspeed max speed Kingambit and Modest prim). As for misdreavus, I think you could run a faster ghost type like Dragapult to patch up the lack of speed on the team, or if you don't want to deal with keeping hazards off, I highly recommend utility Cinderace (I prefer the bulky pivot variant usually).
Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 224 HP / 32 Atk / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Fire
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- Will-O-Wisp
- Court Change
As for Heatran, I personally don't use it much, as it's prone to being worn by hazards, and would recommend a different steel type to fill its space, and with Cinderace in, I think you could put Gholdengo in as your ghost type.
Here's the new team with a few changes I made! https://pokepast.es/c13d1288411d1b2b
