Hey I've been starting Competitive Pokemon about 3 days ago after playing only Nuzlockes before and got recommended to start out in OU and decided to make a Team.
I still have a lot to learn, I never got above 1200 elo but maybe in the future :D.
I made the Team using Lucario because I think its really strong and I am a big fan of winning so strong Pokemon are always nice.
Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Flash Cannon
- Vacuum Wave
- Dark Pulse
Lucario is the main win condition. I started with it because its one of my favorites which I liked since generation 4. It has a decent typing and good stats as well as a good movepool to back it up with. I used Life Orb for More Damage and Tera Flying to deal with its weaknesses like ground or fighting. Nasty Plot is to set up to do more damage, flash cannon is the main damage move because it has the STAB Bonus, Vacuum Wave is versus faster threats like chien pao or stuff like that and fighting type move is good in general. Dark Pulse is only versus Gholdengo and stuff I think yea. timid so it outspeeds gholdengo too.
Gyarados @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Moxie
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Tera Blast
- Taunt
Second up is Gyarados which is also pretty cool and has dragon dance and moxie so it can win games easily. it is immune to ground and resists fighting and fire which is why I chose it as a offensive partner for lucario. dragon dance is to set up and do big damage and with moxie it can be really fast and really strong. waterfall is the water stab and does damage and it can flinch too which I think is pretty cool and useful. tera blast grass is for rotom wash and deals with electric attacks too in tanking them. taunt is to beat the annoying toxic and status spammer pokemons to win and yea.
Meowscarada @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Thunder Punch
- U-turn
- Flower Trick
After that I put meowscarada since I like the pokemon and the choice band set does big damage and im a fan of damage. the typing fits in well with the other 3 and can use uturn to bring in the other 2 strong pokemon to keep momentum up. protean is pretty nice as an ability because I get stab on uturn too and yea. Knock off is the main damage move, thunder punch is for corviknight and stuff, uturn for keeping momentum and flower trick is to beat annoying stuff like dondozo and the salt rock guy.
Dragonite @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 112 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Roost
after that I added dragonite since it can also sweep the opponent and the typing is very nice, multiscale is an awesome ability and tera normal extreme speed wins me a lot of games often. dragon dance is the setup move so im faster and do more damage. extreme speed for the tera sweep thing priority stuff, earthwuake versus the gholdengo and steel types if they dont have balloon. lastly theres roost for recovering HP which I need to set up more dragon dances sometimes and win alone with it.
Azumarill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Liquidation
- Ice Spinner
then I added azumarill with assault vest because special offensive attackers and chien pao are annoying. it has a good typing and huge power is a cool ability so it does big damage too. first I went with aqua jet for priority which is always nice, play rough to deal with dragon types and stuff also fighting pokemon, liquidation is water stab and does huge damage and ice spinner is also cool versus flying types and stuff and also removes psychic terrain and stuff so I can click more priority moves like extreme speed and aqua jet.
Tinkaton @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Atk / 172 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- Gigaton Hammer
- Encore
last pokemon is tinkaton because its strong and I needed stealth rock on the team. I dont know what the set does because I just stole it but it somewhat works and I saw pro-players use it in big tournaments twice so it has to be good I think. stealth rock for rocks, knock off for removing items like eviolite and the boots and leftovers. gigaton hammer is a bit shitty but it does 160 base damage which is good but I cant use it twice in a row which sucks, encore is cool because its an annoying move and has good utility.

doesn't add too much to the team, so I figure that ghold is probably better. Since the team's speed control is iffy at best I'd go with the scarf set.
as a spinner, and defensive Mon to fall back on Vs Phys Mons.
