Hi, my name is TheCanadianWifier, or Richard. You may have heard of me before, though it would likely be from Youtube or through the forums, as I'm not very active in the OU community. Either way, it's still the most fun and popular tier in ORAS, and one that I still watch the most battles from (be it on Youtube or Showdown), so I have a general sense of how to teambuild despite not really playing as much as I'd like to. Last generation, I loved using Custap Skarm offense (I even made an RMT with it!), as if you can get a favourable lead matchup, you either start the battle up 6-5, or with a ton of hazards on the opponents side of the field. It's also very simple to learn and easy to use once you get the hang of it, and it just tears up the lower and middle sections of the ladder, while remaining strong against top players, too. Anyway, as you know Custap Berry went unreleased for all of XY, and the first little bit of ORAS; however, recently it was made available through the Dream World and, well, I was excited haha. The few teams I have built for ORAS so far have all been Balance, so I decided to try my hand at something a bit more offensive. From what I've seen in OU games, 110 is a mind-bogglingly important speed tier in OU this generation, with Lati@s, Gengar, Megagross, M-Gallade, and others just chilling there. Not to mention that this gen has started to casually push it a bit higher, with Thundurus, Serperior, Starmie, Rakiou, and Talonflame. My point is that I learned speed is really important, and often times in HO vs HO battles, late-game came down to who has the faster Pokemon left at the end.
tl;dr, I wanted to try and make this team Hyper Offense, and with all the new viable options sitting at and above 110 Base Speed in OU, I tried to make the team as fast as possible to better my odds in a Hyper Offense vs Hyper Offense match-up. Anyway, onto the meat and potatoes of this RMT :)
This team actually started out around wanting to use an Offensive HP Fire Starmie. Saw it a while ago in a video from Tom Bus, and this morning some friends were playing OU with Defensive Starmie, and I noticed that almost every game an offensive Starmie would have been better. With this realization of how solid Starmie looks in OU atm, I set out to build a Hyper Offense team around it. I paired it up with Custap Skarm for two reasons: 1) Starmie gives me entry hazard control without blowing away my own Spikes from Skarmory, and 2) it helps eat away at bulkier teams which lets Starmie's Analytic Hydro's really punish switches.
I wanted a spinblocker, and Gengar has been providing spin support alongside Custap Skarmory on Hyper Offense since 2012. Gengar is also notorious for being really fucking difficult to switch into, which is a nice quality to have on Hyper Offense. I decided to go with Sub Willo 2 Attacks, to make my life against Bisharp and Tyranitar a bit easier. Could be replaced with other options though, Gengar only has about 15 moves it can run.
Added an offensive Mega. Was originally a Mega Gallade, but I quickly switched it over to a Lopunny for its access to Fake Out, and its crazy Speed. With an Adamant nature Mega Lopunny still reaches 369 Speed, enough to outspeed everything in base 110 - 115, which accounts for approximately 80% of relevant Offensive OU Pokemon.
A bit weak to Water and Electric, as I have 0 things that can take a Volt Switch. Serperior fit on nicely, and it was at this point where I realized I have an Offensive team that is super fast, with all members barring lead Skarmory being at or above 110 Base.
I had literally 0 things for Talonflame, so it was between Thundurus and Raikou. As little as I needed it, I really like the safety net that Prankster Thundy Thunder Wave provides, as well as being able to lure in and cripple the Lati's with Knock Off, as I lack a Bisharp to deter them from Defogging.
Starmie @
Timid | 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Hydro Pump
- Psyshock
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin
.
Absolute monster, what else can I say. Due to it's amazing 115 Speed, it can wreak havoc with offensive teams, and with access to Analytic Life Orb Hydro Pumps, it really punishes balance teams as well when they switch around trying to get a "favourable" match-up. Hydro Pump is used cause its the most powerful move Starmie gets access to, and base 100 SpA isn't as impressive as it once was :( Psyshock is used to shit on Special walls, specifically Chansey and Blissey but it also nails the odd AV Conkeldurr and SpDef Clefable. In general I can't remember the last time I actually used Psychic on a Pokemon, Psyshock is just so much better. The third move is really interchangeable - depending on what you want. Ice Beam prevents shit like Serperior, Thundurus, Pinsir, and Garchomp from forcing you out. It also gives you a reliable accurate way to kill Lando, Gliscor, and the like without relying on Hydro Pump. Thunderbolt helps with this teams relatively large DD Gyarados weakness. However, HP Fire is also seriously awesome, as luring in and bopping Ferrothorn and Scizor is hella fun, and can change the momentum of the game quickly. Last move Rapid Spin, helps me not lose to opposing hazard stack and even opposing HO teams, as Gengar really doesn't like trying to switch into Starmie to spinblock. All in all a great member on HO.
Lopunny @
Jolly | 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Fake Out
- Frustration
- High Jump Kick
- Ice Punch
.
Once upon a time, I hated this thing. As an NU player back when ORAS launched, we had to put up with this shit in NU for like 3 weeks, where it was free to ruin my life. Seriously, I really didn't like it. Then I started watching Reverend, and I also started playing OU a bit. I quickly realized how valuable Mega Lopunny is.
Does it outspeed most of the tier unboosted? ✓
Does it have a spammable priority? ✓
Does it have spammable STAB moves? ✓
Does it have super powerful STAB moves? ✓
Is the last moveslot unpredictable? ✓
This thing seriously is amazing now, and I love it. Adamant nature, because with Greninja gone, the only relevant things you don't outspeed are Weavile, Tornadus-T, and Alakazam; and Adamant allows it to hit a noticeable amount harder. As much as I hate doing it, Jolly nature is pretty critical, as without the ability to outspeed Weavile, it can literally outspeed OHKO every single member of my team (baring a T-wave from Thundy.) As nice as the power boost from Adamant is, Jolly is a much necessary adjustment. Limber is the ability of choice, as you can use stray Thunder Waves as an opportunity to switch in, and Cute Charm is somehow even more situational than that. Fake Out is amazing on Offense, chip damage and free Mega evolution. Frustration is because I like my moves to go in order from shortest to longest, and Return is too short.. Also for ditto, lol. HJK is obligatory, and in the last slot, Power-Up-Punch was changed to Ice Punch for a bit more consistency vs Landorus. Power-Up-Punch is definitely usable though, as boosting on stall teams helps you break them down a lot easier.
Gengar @
| Levitate
Timid | 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Taunt
- Destiny Bond
.
Gengar is really difficult for most teams to switch into. Dual STAB is basically on every Gengar ever, and Substitute is probably on 99% of them. The only thing that can safely switch-in to most Gengar is Tyranitar, and even then they have to watch out for Focus Blast. It was suggested to change Will-O-Wisp and Substitute with Taunt and Destiny Bond, as Taunt helps with CM Clefable, which otherwise gives this team a ton of trouble, and Destiny Bond helps dispose of Bisharp without fail, as opposed to Will-O-Wisp which only cripples it. Sludge Wave hits Chesnaught, and I get more poisons with it than I do with Sludge Bomb anyway. Oh, this also spin blocks for me, preventing basically anything but Starmie from spinning vs my team and removing all of Skarmory's hazards. Anyway, moving on :)
Serperior @
| Contrary
Timid | 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Giga Drain
.
Serperior, my oh my. 2 months ago you were chilling in the depths of NU, now you're banned from every tier bar OU. All with a simple ability addition. Anyway this thing is a unrivaled game-ending sweeper. Late-game, if you can eliminate it's checks (Heatran), and get off a Leaf Storm to revenge something, its pretty much over. On this team in particular, Serperior is my only Electric resist, so I commonly double into it predicting Rotom-W and the like, giving me a free +2 as they switch (or stay in, I don't really care). Dragon Pulse is there to stop shit like the Lati's, Dragonite, and bulky Fire-types from stopping Serperior short. Hidden Power Fire can take care of any Steel- or Grass-type that stand in its way, Ferrothorn being a common example. Last slot is mainly filler, Giga Drain is nice because it can recover health lost from entry hazards, Life Orb, and random attacks, while killing shit off and preserving Leaf Storm PP at the same time. Also nice utility to paralyze shit like Megagross as it switches in. Serperior is a fantastic Pokemon; and though I miss using SubCM in NU, its new found powerful presence in OU makes up for that pain :)
Thundurus @
| Prankster
Naive | 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- Knock Off
- Thunder Wave
.
I love Thundurus. Never got a chance to use it last gen, as I started playing OU shortly after its banning (Nasty Plot with Thunder in Rain, that shit's ridiculous..). Anyway, as much as I want Leftovers to help keep Thundy alive due to it being my only Flying switch-in, the lack of Life Orb really hurts its offensive capabilities, and on an offensive team that's bad. Thunderbolt is crazy strong, and HP Ice beats Landorus and Garchomp, and to a lesser extent Gliscor, that try to switch in. Knock Off is for the Lati's, as my team lacks a Bisharp, and if I didn't have a way to lure them in and defeat the two of them, they would get off easy Defogs against the rest of my team. With 76 Atk EVs, Knock Off is a guaranteed OHKO on Latios, preventing it from switching in and Defogging. on Latias, it requires a lot of previous damage, though. Knock Off also helps me beats Chansey by removing its Eviolite, letting Starmie 2HKO it with Psyshock; and just in general makes it 100% easier to beat. Thunder Wave in the last slot is nice if the opponent has a setup threat that got out of control, emergency safety net if you will. It also helps against just fast Pokemon I want to slow down and make easier to kill with another member.
Skarmory @
| Sturdy
Jolly | 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Taunt / Brave Bird
- Iron Head
.
My love. My joy. I seriously don't understand why this set isn't well known and used by everyone by this point, it's just so damn good. Basically guaranteed Stealth Rock barring opponent's Taunt, in which case you can normally Taunt them first cause with 252+ speed, Skarmory is deceivingly fast - speed tying with Breloom and outspeeding a ton of mid-range OU pokemon. After you get up rocks, you can proceed to spam Spikes until you die, or get off a decently powerful Brave Bird at 1 HP with a little help from Custap Berry if you need to break a Focus Sash. Despite everything above being written in mid-BW2 from my other RMT, it stands true even in ORAS. Taunt things that are obviously their Stealth Rock user or stuff that can set-up like Bisharp or Gyarados. Rocks are nearly impossible not to set up, because you can get them up after you live a hit with Sturdy at 9999 Speed within your priority bracket next turn thanks to Custap Berry. Spikes are a nice bonus if you didn't have to Taunt turn 1, or if your opponent can't 2HKO Skarmory with their lead. Brave Bird is really powerful with 252 Attack, wearing shit down to the range where it can normally be picked off with a Lopunny Fake Out + PuP. Iron Head is also decent as a way to hit Mega-Diancie, as it has Magic Bounce, and otherwise fucks you over completely. Against a Mega Sableye or Mega Diancie (if lacking Iron Head) lead, you should obviously lead with something else, and switch Skarmory in later to their Stealth Rock user to preserve Sturdy. Anyway, this Pokemon is amazing on Hyper Offense, as it's basically Taunt lead Terrakion with less Speed, but with access to both Spikes and Sturdy. If you haven't tried out a Hyper Offensive team with it yet, well, I guess you can always give this one a test drive if you're interested :)Gengar @
