Guardian Forces! [OU RMT]

[Grayheart]

In-depth look:

"Cactaur"
Breloom@Choice Scarf
Jolly - 252 Speed / 252 Attack / 4 HP
+Poison Heal+
~Spore
~Superpower
~Stone Edge
~Seed Bomb

Ahh, nothing like starting off the match with one opponent asleep, pretty much no matter what. This can even sometimes cause the opponent to miss out on SR if they don't have a cleric. Opponents hate Breloom, but I really do love it. Superpower is good STAB, Stone Edge is for Gyarados, Zapdos and the like, and Seed Bomb hits waters really hard. Poison Heal or Effect Spore was a somewhat difficult choice, but he won't be taking too many hits anyways, so a small percent that they might get a status I can already inflict seems a bit redundant. So if the opponent gets Toxic Spikes up I get a bit of recovery.

"Leviathan"
Gyarados@Leftovers
Adamant - 156 HP / 108 Attack / 100 Defense / 144 Speed
+Intimidate+
~Dragon Dance
~Waterfall
~Stone Edge
~Taunt

There used to be a Ttar here, but franky suggested a BulkyGyara in its place, and it has been working out a bit better due to higher speed. Plus, I needed a Taunter. Intimidate support helps as well, and since I also replaced Zapdos my SR weakness is neutralized and my extra Electric weakness now has an extra Electric resist.

"Siren"
Vaporeon@Leftovers
Bold - 188 HP / 252 Defense / 68 Speed
+Water Absorb+
~Surf
~Protect
~Wish
~Hidden Power [Electric]

Vaporeon is a great Pokemon overall. It can take hits and dish out some pain as well. Wish passing to Pokemon such as Gyarados and Registeel can help a lot. HP Elec helps counter Gyarados. Just plain Protect scouting can be useful too.

"Eden"
Latias@Choice Scarf
Timid - 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
+Levitate+
~Draco Meteor
~Thunderbolt
~Surf
~Trick
Scarf Latias is a great revenge killer and can help me against stall teams with Trick. Draco Meteor is a powerful attack that should never be underestimated. Thunderbolt hits Gyara, Aero and the like hard and Surf hits Heatran or other fires. Latias will be a pounding special force to be reckoned with. There was originally a Porygon2 here but I replaced it before I was done with the RMT, go figure.

"Alexander"
Rotom-H@Choice Specs
Timid - 192 Speed / 252 Sp. Attack / 64 HP
+Levitate+
~Overheat
~Trick
~Thunderbolt
~Shadow Ball

Rotom-H helps check Lucario and Mamoswine, which is why I invested 192 Speed EVs with a Timid nature. TrickSpecs lets me have disposable power. Overheat hits said Lucario and Mamoswine. Thunderbolt is good STAB and can hit Gyarados, same with Shadow Ball and Celebi or Latias.

"Tonberry"
Registeel@Expert Belt
Impish - 252 HP / 168 Attack / 88 Defense
+Clear Body+
~Stealth Rock
~Explosion
~Ice Punch
~Earthquake

Since this thing isn't seen too often in OU (and I don't know why not), people underestimate it. It is actually very sturdy, and has great utility in Stealth Rock and Explosion. Ice Punch and Earthquake have good coverage and hit what it checks pretty hard like Salamence and Scarf Jirachi.

Record so far: 6-1-0 *TESTING IN PROGRESS*

Problems:

SD Lucario (Stone Edge version)

How to fix:

I always look at something for Lucario to find an opening and Tyranitar's attack can free up an SD. Stone Edge versions can destroy the entire team, as such I really dont find Tyranitar's purpose but hinder Leftovers for your team and quickens their death. I would add a bulky Gyarados there to check Lucario and allows you to check Scizor as well.

Gyarados
@ Leftovers
Adamant Nature (Atk+ / SpA-)
106 HP / 108 Atk / 140 Def / 144 Spe

- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Return
- Taunt

It gives you a decent check to Scizor and Lucario and adds a physical threat for your replacement. It also adds a great stall breaker, which is something this team might have a hard time with. Dragon Dance helps boost your speed and attack, etc. While Waterfall + Return gives good coverage overall, only resisted by Empoleon. Taunt defeats Skarmory with Whirlwind, and Hippowdon as well. Overall, you might want to consider this.

Other things you might want to consider is replacing Toxic for Hidden Power Electric for Vaporeon giving you a decent Gyarados counter. Therefore, Zapdos is no longer necessary for your team because Gyarados would cover Scizor and Vaporeon would cover Gyarados. The only answer to Lucario now is Rotom-O. Slap a Choice Scarf on it with an EV spread of 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def, with the movesets Thunderbolt / Shadow Ball / Overheat / Trick. And your set. It allows you to check Lucario and beat Stall as well (with Trick). Gl.

Thanks for all the help, I implemented all the changes you suggested (though I tweaked them to my liking a bit) and tested it out, it works out better than the prototype.

 

[umbreonleader]

Haha, those girls look like pokemonz.
But seriously, use physical wall metagross over registeel. He does it way better.
Metagross@leftovers
impish nature
clear body
252hp/224def/32atk
~Meteor mash
~earthquake
~stealth rock
~light screen
I run reflect over stealth rock on my teams but they usually have SR support. This outclasses registeel as it trades a small amount of Sdef for a good physical threat that is welcome on your team, and a good partner to vaporeon. And i want to see a picture with a metagross girl.
just a tip: when meta forces a switch, use light screen. They're probably bringing in a fire type whos attack you can survive with screen and OHKO with EQ

Hmm, I'll think about it and test it, but Registeel can take on Salamence better, I'd think. But Light Screen support sounds very appealing, and sometimes Registeel did fail to deliver when its attacks weren't strong enough. I'd really miss the Explosion support, too, though..Here's a picture of Metagross girl:

Hawt.

 

[SkullCandy]

Replacing registeel with metagross is actually a very good idea. Salamence only hits a bit harder but at least metagross can hit back for actual damage. Also if you miss the explosion support just replace one of metagrosses moves with explosion, simples!

 

[Rama]

Registeel-he can be much more useful by replacing expert belt w/leftovers and EQ with thunder wave, which can cripple opponents, allowing your team to run its course more effectively, so keeping him over metagross has some advantages.

i hope my suggestion can help you in some way :]
