ORAS OU HO team (2700 coil reached ) RMT

[Arik]

Hello everyone :)
Welcome to an this RMT. I used this team to get the reqs for the Landorus-I suspect and it has helped me get the job done. A friend of mine and I built this team. I would like your valued opinion on this team and point out any flaws you want. All feedback is cherished , thank you. Now let's get started.

Irtiza (Metagross-Mega) @ Metagrossite
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Pursuit
- Hammer Arm

I wanted to use a heavy hitting mega that can hit hard and help vs the Lati twins. This Pokemon fits the description rather perfectly. Zen Headbutt and Meteor Mash for dual stab which hit like a truck when coming from 145 attack + Tough Claws boost. Pursuit for the Lati+Twins as this team does not appreciate Darcos being dropped on them. Hammer arm over EQ cause I want to hit Ferrorthorn and Trans on Balloons.

Me (Garchomp) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Tail
- Earthquake

I need a stealth rocker for this team ,what better Pokemon than Garchomp to fulfill that role ?
Relaxed nature to get the most out of Fire Blast. Fire Blast is to surprise Pokemon like Skarmory and Ferrorthorn who think they can freely setup harzards on Chomper, Dragon Tail is stab + helps spread around stealth rock damage. Earthquake is the obligatory stab move for this Pokemon. Rocky helmet helps it punish physical attackers such Mega Metagross and Scizor.

Nahin (Keldeo) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Secret Sword
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Bug]

I wanted a good check to Weavile, which is very threatening in the meta right now. Weavile can kill Garchomp and Metagross too (if weakened enough) so I needed a solid switch in to it and Keldeo fits that role perfectly. The set is the bread and butter choice specs set which is very good in the meta.
Scald to spread burns , Hydro Pump to nuke things when required. Secret Sword for Special walls like Chansey and Hidden Power Bug mainly for Celebi , Slowbro which like to switch in on this Pokemon a lot.

Nazmus (Gothitelle) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Shadow Tag
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 80 HP / 172 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Trick
- Rest
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock

Ahhh the most controversial member of this team , This mon gets a lot of hate from some of my opponents , and I completely understand why. I need this to beat stall. That is it's main job , It can also cripple Pokemon like Clefable which is a huge threat in the metagame right now.

Tonmoy (Azumarill) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off

I needed a setup sweeper and also something that helps me check Mega Sableye. I know that the BD Azumarill has lost a lot of popularity recently , I thought I'd bring it back and give it a whirl, It hasn't let me down. I went with the standard adamant nature with enough investment in speed to outspeed things like Chansey , Clefable and Skarmory
Aqua Jet for great priority , Play rough is it's main stab and I chose knock off over superpower because +6 Knock off does get rid of Ferro more often than not and secures the kill on Pokemon such as Slowbro without having to risk the miss. This Pokemon also helps with Weavile which is a gigantic threat to this team.

Dhrubo (Latios) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Earthquake
- Defog


I needed a hazard cleaner and another check to Keldeo and Rotom-W. I went with a Hasty nature to get the most out of Earthquake which is required for Pokemon like Heatran and Metagross which love to switch in on this Pokemon, Draco Meteor is a great move , and with life orb it hits very hard , Psyshock for reliable stab and it hits Things like Chansey a lot harder.


Well guys , this is my team. Please share your views on it. All feedback is cherished and I'll leave a link to the team , if you wish to use it.

Hey man nice team, i see only one issue with ur team, which is fast threat destroy u due to it is HO u dont have switch ins bar Bulky chomp so i think gothitelle doesnt fit well in ur team, yeah i know it is for deal with stall but stall dont hurt u with all that offensive power u have there so i think a couple changes improve ur team.

• First i think Weavile > Gothitelle help u more against fast threat like Torn-T, Alakazam, Gengar, Aero etc. Also has the ability to pursuit trap thing and release a slot for Mega Gross.
• Cuz u struggle with Diancie a lil bit foorcing speed ties u can run Bullet Punch > Pursuit on Metagross, provide u another priority for ur team and also deal with opposing weavile better too.

Weavile

Weavile @ Life Orb

An alternative would be to go Bullet Punch > Meteor Mash on your Mega Metagross and keep Gothitelle since honestly you don't really need Meteor Mash on this team IMO. Zen Headbutt does as much as Meteor Mash against neutral targets and you got a Goth to trap the bulkier Fairy-types.

I don't really see why you have EQ on your Latios when you got 2 Water-types, a TankChomp, and a Hammer Arm Mega Metagross. You could try Roost > Earthquake. It will give you some nice recovery. Alternatively, you could try a Healing Wish Latias over Latios with a spread of 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe Timid with a moveset of Draco Meteor / Psyshock | Psychic / Healing Wish / Defog.

With 3 Psychic-type and one of your Dark-type resist being slow (Azumarill), you might want to go with a faster TankChomp. A spread of 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 Spe Impish will let Chomper outrun most Bisharp so that you can EQ it without having to fear a +2 Knock Off. A -Spa nature won't affect the damage output of Fire Blast since it will still 2HKO or OHKO what it could with Relaxed.

Last thing, your team is a bit slow. Did you consider trying a different set up sweeper over Azumarill? I could see something like SD Sharp Beak Jolly Talonflame working well on this team since it gives you a faster priority able to beat most fast threats, which your team currently has some issues against. Scarf Keldeo could also be quite cool with BD Azumarill weakening the Water-type resists.
