Prologue:

After two whole generations of being stuck in the never ending torment that is UUBL, our main character, :Blaziken: finds itself struggling to find meaning in his increasingly bleak life. In spite of such sorrow, however, our protagonist pushes on in the face of adversity, and on his journey of self finding, encounters a tremendous team that will help him finally find his identity in a world filled with mystery. Will our hero learn of his role in the ever more competitive and power crept tier of OU, or will he fry under the pressure and be unable to reclaim his title of the Blaze Kicking Chicken?

The Team:

IMG_4774.png

PILOT (Araquanid) @ Custap Berry
Ability: Water Bubble
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sticky Web
- Surf
- Endeavor
- Endure

The first teammate our hero must encounter on his journey is one that might spark great confusion at first. A Water and Bug type teaming up with a Fire and Fighting type? How absurd! Don’t let their polar opposite backgrounds fool you however, dear reader, as these two are destined to form a brotherhood stronger then even the mightiest of legendaries. :Araquanid: assists our protagonist by slowing down approaching enemies with the incredible move Sticky Web, and is able to crush the hopes and dreams of any :great_tusk: or :Iron_treads: attempting to remove them with a powerful and brutal Surf boosted by its ability, Water Bubble. After tutoring in the dark arts, :Araquanid: is also able to finally utilize the ever brutal Endeavor and Endure combo, along with a Custap Berry for the road, to prevent anyone daring enough to challenge its allies from setting up with boosts galore, like :Ogerpon-wellspring: and :Kyurem:, two dastardly foes who have made it their swore mission to halt :blaziken: on his journey of self discovery. Further training in the dark arts has also allowed our ally to transform into a Ghost type if need be to preserve the hazards safely set by our team. Enemies beware, for this is not the friendly kind of spider.

QUARTZ (Iron Treads) @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Rapid Spin

In fear of the evil sorcerer :raging_bolt:, :Blaziken: has recruited safety in the form of our second ally, :iron_treads:, to ward off such evil and thunder trickery. Not only that, but our good friend here can both support with Stealth Rock and lay on the offense with brutal Earthquakes need be with an acquired Booster Energy, boosting its attack stack due to his Adamant nature. Stone Edge helps ward off the mischief of the avian witches, :Zapdos: and :moltres: in order to ensure safety when traveling via the skies. A Tera Rock spell also allows our fellow ally to boost the power of these avian dispelling pebbles to new heights. Overall, a welcome teammate on our hero’s journey to finding his place in OU.

DEATHCAMP (Kingambit) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Kowtow Cleave
- Iron Head

The assassin of the group, :Kingambit: is able to finish off whatever enemy lays standing after :blaziken: unleashes his fury. With a potion of Darkness, his Adamant nature, and enchanted eyewear, :Kingambit: is able to lay down the most brutal Sucker Punches and Kowtow Kleaves known on all sides of the OU tier, being able to even mow past the most defensive of mages, like :zamazenta:. Iron Head allows our fellow ally a method of hitting both enemy Fairy and Fighting types for solid blows as well, without having to waste one of his few type changing potions. Enemies be warned, If :blaziken: is unable to crush your legion into ashes, :Kingambit: will gladly take his place instead.

CHERRY BOMB (Enamorus) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Mystical Fire
- Healing Wish

Known as the “Scourge of the Skies,” it seems unlikely that such a menace would ever even consider working alongside the likes of a hero. Here we are however, and despite her change of heart, :Enamorus: remains as threatening to enemies as ever. With mind enhancing eyewear, a Fairy potion, and with her Modest nature, :Enamorus: is able to blast anything that does not resist her brutal Moonblasts into the next millennia. Even mages who can stomachs such monstrous hits, such as the legendary :slowking-Galar: and :tinkaton:, must still be weary of any powerful Earth Powers or Mystical Fires coming their way as they attempt to defend the enemy. Her Contrary ability also allows our team to punish any trickery from the likes of :Hatterene: or :Cinderace:. Even if :Enamorus: is somehow unable to obliterate the enemy, she can send a parting gift to her allies with a graceful Healing Wish, granting :kingambit: or :blaziken: a breathe of fresh life. What smells like love that’s in the air is really only the dust of destruction after this teammate is through with the enemy.

SMUCKERS (Gholdengo) @ Metal Coat
Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Make It Rain
- Recover

In the face of hazard removal and stall, :Gholdengo: is here to prevent the shenanigans of fat enemies and ensure Blaziken can continue on his journey in peace. With recovery, devious plans, metal cosmetics, and a potion of Steeliness, :Gholdengo: is able to lay the hurt on any enemy attempting to outlast its power, and is even able to make the likes of :Blissey: snd :Clodsire: succumb to the night of our ferocious six. A potion of Steeliness also allows our ally here to conquer even the bulkiest of :Kingambit: after laying out its mischievous schemes once. If you think you can block and prevent :blaziken: from reaching self enlightenment through a wat of attrition, I implore you, dear enemy, reconsider.

BUFFALO (Blaziken) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Protect

Finally, after all this time, we are able to discuss our hero himself, :blaziken:. Before we begin, however, I would like to take a paragraph to explain why our fiery chicken friend here is an essential member to the team:

…

Now that we have that explanation out of the way, on to describing the many strengths of our protagonist! With an equipped potion of levitation, :blaziken: is finally able to FIND his WINGS and soar to new heights, allowing him to use the performing arts of blades on many enemies that would normally spell an end, like :great_tusk:, :ting_lu:, and :Iron_treads:. After only one sword performance and a potion of Fire, our hero is able to take out even the bulkiest of targets and resists in one fell swoop, such as Offensive :zamazenta:, :great_tusk: with maximum training in hitpoints, and :dragapult: in spite of it resisting all of :blaziken: moves. Because our hero is so adamant about his journey of self discovery, coverage is not needed to slay any obstacles, and instead Protect is our preferred move of choice in order for our hero to get the leg up on fast threats while still maintaining its monumental power. :blaziken: might be a little hot headed at times, but regardless he is the heart and soul of the team, and his allies couldn’t be prouder to support him in his time of need.

Curious what feats of strength our hero :blaziken: can accomplish? Question no longer my friend!

+2 252+ Atk Tera Fire Blaziken Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Great Tusk: 428-504 (98.6 - 116.1%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Epilogue:

At the end of his journey, although :blaziken: has realized he might not be cut out for the land of OU in terms of strength and versatility, what truly matters is that in spite of his shortcomings, he is able to truly have fun and be happy on the battlefield, and is finally able to find his wings and live happily with his true self and identity. That brings a close to our story, however if you would like to learn more about the escapades of our good ally :araquanid:, feel free to indulge in the link below. With that, I bid the tri-state area adieu.

You may want to try Upper Hand instead of Protect on Blaziken. Thanks to Webs, speed is less important and priority is more of a threat. Srn had this idea a while back.

I did have this idea a while back as well, however I’ve opted for protect in order to help patch up the bad matchup this team has into bootspam, protect let’s us still outplay sucker punch somewhat reliably, but most importantly it gives :blaziken: leeway to outspeed boots :zamazenta: and :dragapult:, as well as OHKO back at plus two after Tera. Thank you for the suggestion though!
 
Dear Mr Duckular,

I am addressing this message to you as I have found myself to be in a rather distressing situation here. I am attempting to discern possible plays to be made in the face of "Dragapult" @ "Heavy-Duty Boots" and have found none.

for the love of god bro make this shit air balloon tera fire u dont need glasses LOL
