My OU Team

felt2195

This is my first time putting a team out on a forum for rating so i am not really sure exactly how to do this. I am also somewhat new to the meta-game so any tips or advice will help. Thanks!


Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- U-turn
- Dark Pulse

Usually like to lead with Greninja because you can never tell who the opponent will throw out first and since protean lets him change types he can get good hits on a lot of pokemon.

Shuckle @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Shell Smash
- Protect
- Toxic
- Infestation

I use Shuckle to stall against pokemon that my other remaining pokemon can't take on

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Curse
- Rock Slide
- Avalanche
- Payback

He is my physical sweeper. I use curse to raise his Atk and Def and lower his Spd which helps when using payback.

Charizard @ Leftovers
Ability: Solar Power
EVs: 104 HP / 4 Def / 200 SAtk / 200 Spd
Modest Nature
- Sunny Day
- Solar Beam
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse

Just a run of the mill sunny day charizard

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Facade

I usually put opponent to sleep or use substitute to allow Breloom to use Focus Punch

Klefki @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 240 HP / 52 Def / 216 SDef
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Draining Kiss
- Iron Defense
- Substitute

Counters Dragon and Dark types
 
Why are you running Sunny Day Charizard instead of Megazard Y? Megazard is much more powerful and convenient. You also don't have anything besides Greninja's Ice Beam to actually take on Dragons (well, there's Klefki with Draining Kiss but Scarfchomp and Megazard X could still shrug that off without issue). Hazards might be helpful too. You could try running a Sub-Toxic Aegislash or Sky Drop-Toxic Scarmory in place of Shuckle and something else to set up Stealth Rocks, a Skarfchomp of your own to fight Dragons a little more head-on, I've heard Stealth Rocks on Scarfchomp isn't the most uncommon thing to see in the world, but don't quote me on that. All in all though, it's not a bad team at all.

Would it be better to run a Megazard Y or just switch Charizard for a Scarfchomp?
 
Hmm, that is difficult. Sunny Day might not do your team wonders since it makes Breloom (and Klefki if you're keeping it) even more vulnerable at the time when sun's up, and it'll make your Greninja's Hydropumps look like Waterguns, but all in all it doesn't mess your team up too much even though it's not sun based. But Dragon and Fire are both appreciated so maybe run Megazard X as a moderation? I'm not being helpful, at this point I'm not really sure; your team isn't really difficult to work with but outside my workable comfort zone so I'm probably not the best to ask, sorry. I can't really add more than my first post said, the rest is me talking out of my ass. XD
