XOXO (Metagross) @ Occa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 96 Atk / 252 HP / 160 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
-------------------------------------
Role: Lead/Starter Pokemon/Lead Killer
It has a simple role.. just to set up Stealth Rock.. while maybe potentially knocking the enemy pokemon out..
The Occa Berry is there to reduce the dmg of Fire Pokemon Attacks.. I was debating if I should use a Focus Sash or Leftovers instead.. but so far this one is working pretty well..
Meteor Punch is one of my choices since it potentially increases the attack of this Beast.. Bullet Punch as Priority move.. and Earthquake for Fire Pokemons
Pyro (Heatran) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Protect
- Toxic
- Roar
-------------------------------------
Role: Status Inducer/Fire Pokemon Check
I was debating with myself if I should have used Empoleon instead of Heatran since it's Water Type would damage them more.. and since my Heatran has nearly no offensive attacks vs Fire Pokemons since it's only Attack is Lava Plume I can only use it to get a Free Flash Fire.. or to take on some Fire Attacks.. while poisoning my enemy's pokemon.. and then either Protect myself and wearing it down.. or Roaring it away.. to poison as many Pokemons as possible..
Styx (Skarmory) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 224 HP / 252 Def / 32 SDef
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
-------------------------------------
Role: Wall/Hazard Layer/ Fighting Pokemon Check
With it's nice Ability Sturdy and Bulk it can take at least take 1 hit from the enemy.. assuming no hazards are on my side..
Roost is there so that it can stay longer on the field.. while Brave Bird is for the Fighting Pokemons my team also has a weakness against.. Since it is a Flying + Steel Pokemon it should be able to take some hits.. Whirlwind is for Pokemon who try to set up against it.. or just damage Pokemon with the Hazards.. frequently
Steel Ball (Forretress) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Volt Switch
- Gyro Ball
-------------------------------------
Role: Rapid Spinner/Tank/Substitute Stealth Rock
For the case Metagross can't fulfill its role for any reason.. like it get paralyzed in the beginning and then knocked out etc.. and for the case my enemy wipes the stealth rocks with Rapid Spin away.. I have this as Back Up
0 IVs at Speed since it's already slow as fuck.. and to ensure Gyroball hits even harder
Medi (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch
- U-turn
-------------------------------------
Role: Sweeper/Revenge Killer
With its pretty nice ability Serene Grace.. combined with Iron Head it nearly renders the Enemy's Pokemon useless.. some of my enemies also quit or surrendered simply because they were annoyed by the amount of flinches this little devil causes..
Ice Punch also works well for Dragontype Pokemons.. since most of them are Flying + Dragon.. they have a 4x weakness to it.. and since Jirachi hits first it's also a nice Check against Dragontype and even Ground Pokemon
Equipped with Choice Scarf it's also pretty fast.. outspeeding most Pokemons.. and unless you use a Priority Move against it.. Jirachi will always hit first..
Batcario (Lucario) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Extreme Speed
-------------------------------------
Role: Sweeper
My Main Offensive.. equipped with two Priority Moves I can also use it as Substitute Revenge Killer.. Swords Dance as set up also ensures that it hits harder.. while Leftovers regenerates it steadily
Only weakness is that it's so fragile and often goes down by 1 or 2 hits.. so I chose Close Combat.. since it doesn't matter anyway when it gets more fragile.. and Hi Jump Kick is too risky.. like if it misses or my enemy uses Protect Lucario is pretty done for
As you can see all of my Steel Pokemon are from Gen II - V.. none from VI.. the reasons are simple I didn't play with Aeglislash etc enough yet to say if I should add it or any other Gen VI Steel Pokemon to my team.. nor do I know that much about Mega Evolutions yet.. and Mega Lucario is blocked from OU anyway
And I'm open to any suggestions.. you can replace any Pokemon you want if you can justify it with proper argumentations.. Thanks alot
