ORAS OU Like a Chandelier

[Slow-Bro]

Introduction
Hello once again my friends. I made a new Team based of my favorite Non-Mega of all time. Welcome to my Chandelure OU Team.


The Team

Sia (Chandelure) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Here is my Star Player, The Micheal Jordan of my team... Chandelure. So Chandelure has a high Sp A, Sp D and Spe which makes it like a Mega Alakazam (probably slower than M Alaka). Flash Fire gives Chandelure a chance to gain more Sp A from Fire Attacks. I let it hold Leftovers because even though it's fast it need health, though Choice Specs is another option but Chandelure needs backup health.

Attacks

Flamethrower - I prefer Flamethrower over Fire Blast since Fire Blast has more chance to miss than Flamethrower. Has 10% chance to burn the target which is a low chance but if it does it will be useful.
Shadow Ball - A great STAB move for Chandelure.
Energy Ball - To handle Water/Ground types
HP Fighting - to handle Dark/Rock types

Ahas (Serperior) @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Taunt
- Giga Drain

Serperior is used for my taunt for its great speed and ability. Contrary mixed with Leaf Storm and a Timid nature and boost Spe Evs makes it a killer too. Leftovers because even though it has speed it is also frail so it needs health.

Attacks

Leaf Storm - because instead of a x2 lower Sp A it boosts it up due to Contrary
Dragon Pulse - used for hitting bulky Dragon Types
Taunt - for defensive teams with M. Sableye/Absol
Giga Drain - for sapping health after the Leaf Storm boost

Drachen (Dragonite) @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake

Dragonite here is used for revenge killing incase Serperior is down. Has great Attack and a good Speed. Multiscale is used for having a 50% buff when I'm still in full health. Adamant for a boost with Dragonite's Attack. Choice Band raises attack combined with Adamant makes Attacks more powerful than usual.

Attacks

Outrage - combined with Choice Band usually OHKOs things
Extreme Speed - is a +2 priority attack that provides the priceless utility of not only killing off weakened sweepers that have set up but also revenge killing priority users such as Talonflame.
Fire Punch - used to hit Steel Types and Ice Types
Earthquake - rounds out the set, providing invaluable coverage on Heatran and Tyranitar while being Dragonite's best option against Azumarill and hitting Mega Metagross, Excadrill, and Bisharp even harder than Fire Punch.

Ster (Starmie) @ Life Orb
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Hydro Pump
- Psychic
- Ice Beam

Starmie is here for my hazard remover. Has access to Nature Cure and Analytic. Life Orb to boost attacks but looses health after. Analytic raises power if I'm last to attack.

Attacks

Rapid Spin - removes the opponent's entry hazards while preserving your own and takes full advantage of the many switches that this set forces.
Hydro Pump - is a powerful STAB move that, when combined with a potential Analytic boost, hits many switch-ins such as Clefable for good damage.
Psychic - allows Starmie to defeat certain Pokemon that resist Hydro Pump, such as Rotom-W, Mega Venusaur, and Suicune.
Ice Beam - allows Starmie to hit Grass- and Dragon-types such as Celebi and Dragonite while giving great coverage alongside Hydro Pump.

Cats (Landorus-Therian) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock

I chose Landorus for being my Switcher, Knock Off and Stealth Rock. Leftovers since Landorus is just support and needs health. Intimidate to low the opponents attack.

Attacks

Earthquake - is Landorus-T's best STAB attack due to its great power and perfect accuracy, dealing good damage against most opposing threats that do not resist or are immune to it.
U-Turn - allows Landorus-T to pivot out and gain momentum by putting the matchup in your favor; it works well with Landorus-T's defensive potential, as it can force a switch quite easily when sent in against a physical threat.
Knock Off - hurts threats such as Latios, Latias, and Gengar and item-dependent Pokemon, namely Choiced wallbreakers that could hurt Landorus-T.
Stealth Rock - provides entry hazard support, wearing down opposing teams with residual damage.

Derp (Slowbro) @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 136 SpA / 80 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Slack Off
- Fire Blast
- Psychic

Slowbro is my Mega for this team. It has great Defense and Sp Defense as it mega evolves it becomes a tank. Regenerator is before Mega evolving incase I need health but it's like a little chance.

Attacks

Scald - is an extremely spammable STAB move because of its nifty chance to burn foes, crippling and whittling down common switch-ins such as Latios and Ferrothorn.
Slack Off - keeps Mega Slowbro healthy, allowing it to tank hits much more easily.
Fire Blast - hits Ferrothorn, Scizor, Bisharp, Magnezone, Amoonguss, and Breloom
Psychic - is a strong STAB move that is particularly useful against Water-types such as Keldeo, Rotom-W, Gyarados, Alomomola, and Azumarill, as well as certain Grass-types such as Amoonguss, Mega Venusaur, and Breloom.

Hi, I noticed how your team is quite weak to Kyurem-B (especially Choice Scarf variants) and also Weavile. To help with these two, I would recommend you replace Mega Slowbro with bulky Mega Scizor (Mega Scizor -> Mega Slowbro). You already have Starmie, so having two Water/Psychic-types isn't doing much for your team in terms of synergy. Mega Scizor can switch into Weavile and setup against it all day while it can also switch into Kyurem-B (but must watch out for HP Fire variants).

Some minor things to consider: firstly is Substitute over Energy Ball on Chandelure (Substitute -> Energy Ball on Chandelure), this helps you avoid status like T-Wave and Toxic, and allows you to play mind games with Bisharp. Also Taunt doesn't help with Mega Sableye/Absol because both of them have access to Magic Bounce, you can replace it with HP Ground since most Serperiors run HP Fire so opposing Heatran might not expect it (HP Ground -> Taunt on Serperior). While you're at it, put a Life Orb on it as well since Serperior has below average Special Attack and could really use the extra damage before any boosts. Lastly you might want to run Stone Edge over Landorus-T so you can deal with Talonflame better (Stone Edge -> Knock Off on Lando-T). That's all I have for now.

Hey,thats really look like a good team however i noticed some flaws but i'll try to fix them.

You have some problem with Weavile,Bisharp since the first one can outspeed and eat your team since anything can outspeed him(Slowbro can take ONLY one hit and using him as a check to Weavile sucks). Bisharp can just click Knock Off/Iron head, Landorus-T can't check him because of Defiant. Chandelure can try to force the 50/50 but its not a really good idea since odds are in Bisharp favor.
Thundurus is a very huge problem to this since you don't really have switch-in to him and only Serperior can outspeed him but it can't really hurt him so much.
Your team have nothing for Kyurem-B i mean you can't KO it,play around it.
Lati@s seem like another huge problem like Thundurus since you don't have a Fairy/Steel type which can play around him.



First of all,i'd recommend to use M-Scizor over M-Slowbro as it was recommended by bobochan, M-Scizor will help you against a ton of mon which are annoying for your team like Kyurem-B,Weavile and Bisharp (you need to use Superpower if you want to OHKO him), M-Scizor also work as great Lati@s check but you need another Steel type which isn't weak to hidden power fire or a Fairy type if you don't want to be weak to Lati@s with Hidden Power Fire.


I'd suggest to use Heatran as stealth rocker and using an Choice Scarf over Leftovers on Landorus-T, Heatran is a really good stealth rock which will give you another way to deal with Lati@s,it also work as great Talonflame since you are currently weak to it. Landorus-T with the Choice Scarf work as really great revenge killer and as Thundurus check.

Since you are now using Heatran, you can use Thunderbolt over Psychic since you aren't weak to M-Venusaur,Amoonguss.

I'd recommend to use Hidden Power Ground over Giga Drain on Serperior, Giga Drain is pretty useless since if you want a reliable recovery,you can just use synthesis instead of it. Hidden Power Ground allow you to lure Heatran which is the biggest counter to your Chandelure (even with Hidden Power Fighting). Substitue can work over Taunt but i still think Taunt is better on this team.

I'd suggest to use Substitue over Energy Ball on Chandelure,you don't really have problem with water types and Substitue is better.
