So I've been back and forth with pokemon for almost 6 months now, and now that I've come back again I learned that Latias is OU. Now I really dont care about who's uber and who's OU now but I do like to try out new pokemon. So I set out to make a team that revolved around Latias. It looks like a good lineup and has decent synergy but it deffinently needs some fine tuning.
Heatran@focus sash
[Flash Fire]
Naive 252 sp.att / 252 spe / 4 hp
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
-Earth Power
-Fire Blast
He's basically just here to set up rocks and maybe try to take out a couple of pokes then explode. Swampert was my other option over him. Speed EV's are there to help him outrun anything in his teir, and Focus sash allows him to get the rocks in. Lead Tar has been a problem for him.
Latias@leftovers
[Levitate]
Calm 252 HP / 116 Def / 112 SpD / 28 Spe
-Wish
-Protect
-Toxic
-Dragon Pulse
This whole team was built around Latias. She's my special wall. She passes wish around and toxicstalls. Roar is an option over toxic to add some SR damage but toxic tends to get the job done. EV's are set to maxamize its defensive abilities. However, she still takes qutie a bit of damage from heavy physical hitters. She's a great addition to OU but she's beat pretty easily by Hera and has had problems with T-Tar and Lucario. So thats why I have.....
Gliscor@leftovers
[Hyper Cutter]
Impish 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
-Roost
-Swords Dance
-Aerial Ace
-Earthquake
Double STAB Gliscor. He is extremely important to this team, espcially to Latias as he counters Hera and Tar and Lucario. Aerial Ace is usually inferior to Ice fang but in this situation it's better for Hera, Breloom and for the rare Machamp. EQ 2KO's Tar and OHKO's Lucario (w/out a sash of course ). Speed Ev's puts him at 280 which is enough to outrun Adamant Lucario and any non-scarfed Heatrans who can beat him easily with HP Ice or even Fire Blast.
Porygon-2@leftovers
[Trace]
Bold 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpA
-Recover
-Magic Coat
-Thunder Bolt
-Ice Beam
My physical wall. This guy is absolutely great, he's been the star of my team so far. Counters Gyrados and Salamence easily by sending their intimidates back at them, surviving attacks sent at him, and countering back with BoltBeam. Magic Coat is for sending status moves back at the user as I dont really have a status taker on this team. Recover is self explanitory. Also as a bonus, Pory 2 can switch into Heatran, Vaporeon, Jolteon and take Fire Blast, Surf and T-Bolt in that respective order and gain some hp back. He also survives a non-spec's Earth power from heatran. Here are the damage calcs courtesy of smogon.
Salamence:
-1 Life Orb Outrage: 40.38-47.7%
-1 Life Orb Brick Break: 33.88-40.11%
-1 Life Orb Dragon Claw: 27.1-31.98%+1
-1 Life Orb Outrage: 60.98-71.82%+1
-1 Life Orb Brick Break: 50.68-59.89%+1
-1 Life Orb Dragon Claw: 40.38-47.7%
-1 Outrage: 31.17-36.86%
-1 Brick Break: 26.02-30.89%
-1 Dragon Claw: 20.86-24.66% +1
-1 Outrage: 46.88-55.28%+1
-1 Brick Break: 39.02-46.07%+1
-1 Dragon Claw: 31.17-36.86%
Gyarados:Bulky Gyarados:
-1 Waterfall: 17.89-21.14%+1
-1 Waterfall: 26.56-31.44%
Offensive Gyarados:
-1 Life Orb Waterfall: 25.47-30.08%+1
-1 Life Orb Waterfall: 38.21-45.26%
-1 Life Orb Aqua Tail: 29.00-34.15%+1
-1 Life Orb Aqua Tail: 43.09-50.95%
Jirachi@choiceband
[Serence Grace]
Jolly 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
-U-Turn
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Zen headbutt
My physical sweeper Another poke that I really wanted to use. He has great resistances so its not that hard to bring him in and he brings the element of surprise since most people are expecting a defensive Jirachi. U-Turn scouts for me and gets decent damage on Tar, Thunderpunch is for Gyra and bulky waters, Ice punch is for dragons, Gliscor, and other pokemon with Ice weaknesses. I've been thinking about changing Zen Headbutt with Iron head as Tar has really been a problem for this team.
Jolteon@life orb
[Volt Absorb]
Timid 252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 hp
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Hp Ice
-Thunderbolt
My special sweeper. He hasn't really done well for me at all and he dosent seem to fit well on this team. If there's any poke that I'm wiling to change it's deff Jolteon. Sub is to be able to block statuses and block a few EQ's that would be coming his way. Shadow ball is for ghosts and coverage, HP Ice for the boltbeam combo, and T-bolt is for STAB. Max speed puts him at a tie with other Jolteons, Aerodactyl, Crobat, and lets him easily outrun other sweepers such as Gengar, Alakazam, Dugtrio, Porygon-Z (non scarfed), and Weavile.
Overall I really like this team but it's really lackin in overall power. I know im lacking a spinner but Im not too concerned about SR on this team, toxic spikes and toxic have been quite annoying though. All suggestions are welcome so critisize away.
Heatran@focus sash

He's basically just here to set up rocks and maybe try to take out a couple of pokes then explode. Swampert was my other option over him. Speed EV's are there to help him outrun anything in his teir, and Focus sash allows him to get the rocks in. Lead Tar has been a problem for him.
