I need so much help it's not funny

[Fear The Pika]

Ok, let's get started. My team is for standard battles, but it needs a lot of work. Let's list the pokemon and go from there.

Lead and Fast Special Sweeper

Nature: Hasty
IVs: 24/27/21/30/31/31
EVs: 252 SA/252 S/6 HP
HP: Grass 66
Item: Choice Scarf
Moves: Eruption, Lava Plume, Hidden Power, Focus blast

Strategy:

There for revenge fast special sweeping, Eruption is powerfull STAB at max BP of 225, this hurts even Dragons. Lava Plume is to be used when your HP is to low for Eruption, but you need STAB, also a 30% chance of burn is nice. Hidden Power to clean up Water pokemon. Focus Blast KOs Heatran, T-tar, and really puts a dent in Blissey. I could add attack EVs and add EQ or something, but I don't really like Mixphlosion. I really don't like Focus Punch's reliance on them switching.

Physical Wall and Support

nature: relaxed
ivs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
evs: 252 HP | 112 Atk. | 144 Def
Item: Leftovers
Moves: Toxic Spikes, EQ, Rapid Spin, Explosion

Strategy.

Don't see many of these around, set up the toxic spikes, then switch to something else. Come in on a Physical attacker to make them switch since you can take a hit, then EQ while they switch. Explosion is also very good for KOing something like Gyarados if they've gotten to many stat boosts. Rapid Spin to clear away entry hazards. The steel lets him come in on Toxic Spikes without getting poisoned.

Physical Attacker

Nature: Jolly
IVs: 15/31/30/31/27/31
EVs: 252 A/252 S/ 6 HP
Item: Light Ball
Moves: Encore, Brick Break, Fake Out, Volt Tackle

Strategy:

Fake Out is auto flinch, breaking Sashes and sometimes inflicting quite a bit of damage. Volt Tackle is some of the only STAB Pikachu gets for physical, BB takes out Weavile and T-tar and Encore can get a Blissey stuck on T-wave or some other support move, or a lead on SR, something like that.


Physical Attacker

Nature:Adamant
IV's: 31/31/31/x/31/31
EV's: 216 HP/16 Atk/176 Def/100 Spe
Moves: Taunt/Dragon Dance/Aqua Tail/Ice Fang
Item: Life Orb

Strategy:

DD up, then sweep. Ice Fang for dragons and grass pokemon, Waterfall for STAB, and taunt for pseudo hazers/status inflicters. Nothing special.


Support

Nature: Bold
Ability: Natural Cure
IVs 29/x/31/31/30/30
EVs: 255HP/255DEF
Moves: T-wave, Soft Boiled, Aromatherapy, Seismic Toss

Strategy:

T-wave annoying pokemon who you need to out speed, Soft Boiled for recovery, Aromatherapy for getting rid of Burn, Poison, Sleep and Paralyzation and Seismic Toss for damage. Natural Cure allows switching in to Toxic, Hypnosis, WoW and T-wave without fear, also not letting your opponent use another sleep move until they know that it has Natural Cure.

Special Attacker and Hazer

Nature: Bold
IVs:31/31/30/31/31/31
EVs: Need a spread
Moves:

~Ice Beam
~Surf
~Wish
~Haze

Strategy:

Come in on Dragons and scare them away with the threat of Ice beam, Surf for STAB and accuracy, Wish for healing and support. Haze is for the CM, DD and NP pokemon who think that they can get away with it when you send Vaporeon out, or for when you send him in against something that got to many.

Clauses:

~Hax items Clause
~Evasion clause
~Sleep Clause.
~Species Clause
~OHKO Moves Clause

Well, that's it. Suggestions, changes, additions and all that stuff are greatly appreciated.

Your Forrey lead is shut down by Taunt, and loses to anything with a Fire attack (Azelf, Lead Ape, etc.). I think Typhlosion would be a better lead as you could just start firing of Scarf'd Eruptions from the get go, or HP Grass for Perts. This will also lure out Heatrans early on, letting you get a early set up with Gyarados (especially if they switch to Heatran before putting rocks up). Forrey can them come in later on Outrages and other physical attacks and set up spikes.

Never use Aqua Tail on Gyarados. Waterfall's perfect accuracy and 20% chance of flinch is always worth the 10BP drop in power.

Glaceon should be replaced. Ice is a terrible defensive type and Vaporeon can do the same thing, only better. Water type means it doesn't get stroked by Bullet Punch, and gives you a counter to MixApe, which your current team is extremely weak to. As soon as Gyarados goes down, MixApe will OHKO or 2HKO everything on your team and you will have to rely on Tyhplosion's 70% accurate Focus Blast to revenge kill it.

As for Pikachu, lol, you need to get rid of it if you want to get serious. Jolteon could be used in this spot, if you want an electric immunity, as he has great synergy with Gyarados and Vaporeon and hits very hard. This would give you alot of Special attackers, so Blissey could be troublesome.

This team does need a huge revamp, I hope some of this helped. Definitely get rid of Glaceon and Pikachu though. GL with your team.

Thanks, but I can't get rid of pika, it's something that's just there, and you'd be surprised at how well it can do in OU.=P

i sometimes use pika on an uu team, and fing the mixed one with sub, tbolt, BB and HP ice to be much more effective. Or a purely special one with tbolt, grass knot, HP ice and sub. volt tackle... sure it has tons of power, but if you accidentaly hit blissey or some other HP monster, the recoil will easily kill you

Yes, I know. But I don't have a mixed one with Fake Out, and my pure Special one doesn't have HP ice. So for now, this pika is going to stay.

 

[Wilechase]

pikachu just doesnt have the bulk to compete in the metagame of priority and scarftrans. Plus you have nothing to cover that electric weakness once blissey is gone. Something that might do well is an electivire, that way you can absorb electric moves and get a speed boost, have a bit more bulk, and also be able to do similar sweeping that your pikachu did.

and as wolfy said, switch glaceon for vaporeon, it would do the job better.

Yes, I'm working on that now. And I know Pikachu is frail, I know other pokemon could get the job done better, but I don't even have an Electivire or Jolteon right now.=P Though, I think I'd put Jolteon on instead of Vire.

EDIT. What do you guys think about this Vaporeon?


Vaporeon
Nature: Bold
IVs:31/31/30/31/31/31
EVs: Need a spread
Moves:

~Ice Beam
~Surf
~Wish
~Haze

Strategy:

Come in on Dragons and scare them away with the threat of Ice beam, Surf for STAB and accuracy, Wish for healing and support. Haze is for the CM, DD and NP pokemon who think that they can get away with it when you send Vaporeon out, or for when you send him in against something that got to many.

Why is your lead hasty with no physical moves? I can give you my thyplosion which is timid 26/x/30/31/31/31 [or something like that] HP Ice 70, which would be great for revenge killing dragons later on.

On Gyarados, use Taunt, Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Stone Edge, as this can help dish out damage to the majority of pokemon, as well as give it the ability to take down Salamences, other Gyarados, and also Zapdos to an extent.

As i PMd you ages ago [glaceon discussion], Glaceon will still be 2HKOd by Bullet Punch, so really rather useless in that respect, however i dont see why you cant runny Vaporeon there.

You also have a HUGE weakness to any pokemon which wants to get a DD or Swords Dance up, ie Salamence, Gyarados and Lucario, which will really mean GG for you if the get to set up.

You also lack priority moves, which would really be helpful, so consider getting Scizor somewhere on there.

Good Luck

Because I've thought about putting EQ on it, but still haven't decided.

On Gyarados, use Taunt, Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Stone Edge, as this can help dish out damage to the majority of pokemon, as well as give it the ability to take down Salamences, other Gyarados, and also Zapdos to an extent.

OK, I'll change the moves to that, sounds better than mine.

I thought I replied... Anyway, I am going to, I just asked about what the Moveset and IVs should be, guess I should edit into the OP.

You also have a HUGE weakness to any pokemon which wants to get a DD or Swords Dance up, ie Salamence, Gyarados and Lucario, which will really mean GG for you if the get to set up.

If you check out the Vaporeon, it knows Haze.=P

Good Luck

Fake Out on Pikachu is Priority, and thanks.

 

[Shizzle]

Fake Out on Pikachu is Priority, and thanks.

So this is what you will turn to take down pokemon such as Gyarados and Lucario and Salamence? You need a more powerful [STABd] priority moves somewhere.

Yes, I'm still working on that.=P Anyway, Pika <3 a Gyarados without a speed boost. VT+ Gyara = OHKO =P Anyways, Lucario resists all priority moves that aren't named Vacuum Wave, and I don't really want another Bug/Steel on my team. Anything else that could do the job?

 

[boyangfriday]

I use a Hitmontop with bulk up and mach punch and bullet punch which works really well. Especially against Scizor if they aren't choice banded. It also knows rapid spin but if you don't need it add another move.
