Choice Band :Blaziken: sun!
​
Intro: This is my first rmt and i read all the rules but tell me if i forgot anything. After the :Magearna:/:Cinderace: ban I was thinking how :Blaziken: wouldn't be so outclassed by :Cinderace: as a fire /fighting type anymore, and had the idea to boost :Blaziken:'s Flare Blitz to ridiculous levels by giving it a choice Band underneath sun.
Team building :
:ss/Torkoal:
Torkoal @ Heat Rock
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Body Press​
Overview: :Torkoal: is almost always the sun setter of choice, due to its high physical bulk and good movepool. I decided to give it a Heat Rock to extend the length of sun so abusers like :Venusaur: and :Blaziken: have more time to use it. The EVs in HP and Defenses are to keep it alive for as long as possible as it won't be attacking for most of the game.
Set: Lava Plume is used for spreading burns on physical attackers and hits neutral targets fairly hard due to the sun and STAB boosts. I don't think I need to explain Stealth Rock as it is on nearly every competitive team. Rapid Spin is to get rid of opposing hazards so teammates can be free of them. Body Press uses Torkoals high Defense stat, to hit :Tyranitar: and :Heatran: as well as other Pokemon.
Calcs: 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 248+ Def Torkoal: 204-240 (59.3 - 69.7%) -- guaranteed 2hko
248+ Def Torkoal Body Press vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 372-440 (92 - 108.9%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO

:ss/Venusaur:
Venusaur @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 84 HP / 252 SpA / 172 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Earth Power
- Growth
- Weather Ball​
Overview: :Venusaur: is undoubtedly the best Chlorophyll sweeper in ou, setting up with growth and using its great coverage to easily sweep through teams.
Set: I decided to give :Venusaur: a life orb to give it power while being able to have the freedom of no choice lock. The SpA EVs are to give :Venusaur: the power it needs and the 172 Spe is to outspeed Scarf :Kartana:. The rest is in bulk to survive priority attacks. Sludge Bomb is good Stab hitting opposing fairies like :Tapu Fini: and :Clefable: as well as grasses. At first I used Giga Drain, but I found that this means that Venusaur gets Stone walled by :Heatran:, so opted for Earth Power instead. Growth lets :Venusaur: have a big power boost so it can sweep teams. Finally, weather Ball hits steels like :Ferrothorn: or :Corviknight: who wouldn't care about Sludge Bomb or Earth Power.
Calcs: 252 SpA Life Orb Venusaur Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 128+ SpD Heatran: 328-390 (84.9 - 101%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Life Orb Venusaur Weather Ball (100 BP Fire) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Corviknight in Sun: 286-338 (71.5 - 84.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Clefable: 351-413 (89 - 104.8%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

:ss/Blaziken:
Blaziken @ Choice Band
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Thunder Punch
- Close Combat
- Earthquake​
Overview: The star of this team, :Blaziken: is unfortunately bl, but hopefully that will change soon. Blaziken has a high attack stat of 120 as well as a great typing and movpool. With its amazing Ability speed Boost, Blaziken can snowball through many a team.
Set: :Blaziken: is equipped with a choice Band to hit for the most damage possible under sun. An Adamant Nature lets :Blaziken: destroy resists to its sun boosted Flare Blitz like :Dragapult: and :Slowking:. Unfortunately that means that at +1 it will still be outsped by a considerable amount of pokemon like :Dragapult:. Thunder Punch is for resists who don't mind Flare Blitz like :Moltres: and :Slowbro:. Close Combat is a Stab move for :Heatran: and :Tyranitar: who don't care about Blaziken's Flare Blitz. Finally, Earthquake is for other Fire types like :Blacephalon:.
Calcs:252+ Atk Choice Band Blaziken Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult in Sun: 290-342 (91.4 - 107.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Blaziken Flare Blitz vs. 248 HP / 220 Def Zapdos in Sun: 414-487 (108 - 127.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Blaziken Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Blacephalon: 564-664 (228.3 - 268.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Blaziken Thunder Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 172-204 (43.6 - 51.7%) -- 9% chance to 2HKO


:ss/Hydreigon:
Hydreigon @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 164 HP / 92 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog​
Overview: I usually use :Hydreigon: on Sun teams for its ability Levitate and defensive/offensive capabilities as well as U-turn.
Set: This is the smogon Defog set for :Hydreigon:, but I swapped Earth Power for U-turn since its useful typing will force a lot of choice locked pokemon out, like Earthquake locked Choice Scarf :Landorus-Therian: and Shadow Ball locked Choice Specs :Dragapult:.
Calcs: 92 SpA Hydreigon Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro: 270-320 (68.5 - 81.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
92 SpA Hydreigon Dark Pulse vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Blacephalon: 272-324 (110.1 - 131.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO


:ss/kyurem:
Kyurem @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Freeze-Dry
- Earth Power
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam​
Overview: :Kyurem: is very underrated in ou, it has a great sub roost, Specs and scarf sets. I needed something with speed control to stop quad Ice weak Pokemon like Scarf :Landorus-Therian: and SD :garchomp:.
Set: Choice Scarf lets :kyurem: outspeed many common Pokemon like :Dragapult: and :Hydreigon:. The SpA EVs gives it power and a Jolly Nature alongside 252 Spe EVs lets it outspeed Scarf :Landorus-Therian:. Ice Beam is good Stab spammable move that isn't resisted my many Pokemon except :Tapu Fini: and :Slowbro: /:Slowking:. But those Pokemon are all weak to Freeze-Dry. :Heatran: quad resists Ice Beam but absolutely hates Earth Power and its quite easy to predict the switch. The final move is Draco Meteor which hits quite hard on neutral targets. I'm not sure if Kyurem needs a modest Nature so it can hit harder, but you can tell me ifI should.


:ss/Tapu Lele:
Tapu Lele @ Choice Specs
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast​
Overview: this is the member of the team I'm most shaky about. I think I would rather a special wall instead of a wall Breaker, but you can tell me.
Set: this is the standard Choice Specs set that hits every non resist extremely hard and is probably the most common set.
Calcs: 252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey in Psychic Terrain: 462-544 (64.7 - 76.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro: 279-328 (70.8 - 83.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

a small change i would make is change earth power to giga drain on Venusaur for more stab moves and recovery from life orb.
 
i think being able to easily pivot is important and i see why your saying no go giga drain but when your life orb drains you low and you have now other form of recovery your cooked.

I know but life orb recoil isn't that bad it's only 10% per turn and Venusaur goes too fast to be hit and it quad resists Rillaboom's Grassy Glide

also i have a question,how do you make the mini images of the mons when you type them.i would like to know.

: dragapult : = :dragapult:

I added a space in between those little symbols so it wouldnt default and make the Dragapult sprite, but that is how you do it.
 
Hi! I've got some suggestions for you, hope I can help!

Firt of all, change :torkoal: EVs spread in 248 HP/252 Def/8 SpD and equip it with Heavy-Duty Boots, Heat Rock is good but the Boots will increase torkoal's longevity as well as making it a more reliable rapid spinner. Also Body Press > Earth Power/Earthquake, right now :tyranitar: is not that common, :heatran: instead is the bane of sun teams and you have to run many ways to deal with it.

I think you're running too many Choice items. Choice Band :blaziken: is totally pointless to me, maybe you could consider switching to a SD set to get Speed Boost's full power.

Since you're running Rapid Spin on :torkoal: I find Defog :hydreigon: redundant. I think a Choice Scarf set with Draco Meteor/Flamethrower/Earth Power/U-turn would be better.

Giga Drain doesn't really accomplish anything the other moves do

That may be true, but for its switches and the structure of the team Giga is just a *tad* important. It helps cover water types or neutrals to enter in on it, and being as your team looks like it will have trouble due to Torkoal using Heat Rock instead of HDB it is even more useful since Venusaur will have limited use because of switching in and wearing down. Also, regardless of having Kyurem (which is another mon that absolutely despises hazards) other setters like Pelipper and Hippowdon are hard for this team to switch into. Overall, the team has a higher risk involved in it for these factors even only regarding that one change. Of course, there are many other structure variations that could be made to have this work better, but that is just one I immediately see.

There is no reason to use defog hydreigon when rapid spin torkoal is already present in ur team as it is already said by a guy above me. I would recommend 3 atcks roost set on that hydreigon instead w fire blast for ferro or corv as well as being fairly easy to use it when buffed by sun,draco meteor is ur actual stab which is self explanatory and
superpower for blissey and ttar. Roost for longevity and use life orb w this set as it is imo ideal for sun teams
