I got bored at work and decided to put this together in about 15 minutes, so don’t take it too seriously. This is just a power ranking for ORAS OU slot, and it’s all for fun, not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. I also won’t be ranking my own team in this PR.
1. Gaslighting Gengars
They’re the strongest ORAS OU core because they have Comps, Noname, and Kingofking as starters. On top of that, they also have Ruffles and Paprika for prep, which makes their support even scarier.
2. Forest Hills Lucarios
They take the second spot, mainly because Destro and Savouras are both really powerful players who can carry games.
3. Raging Reshirams
Lighthouse and Always are strong players who can build creative, effective teams. On top of that, Ithi is actually a great prep slot. He’s prepped for Django (7-1 record in Master PL) and Xurkiyee (ORAS Seasonal winner), which speaks for itself.
4. Tomb Raiders
They come in fourth, led by Acr1, Cloud, and Books, with Blubird as prep support. That’s a solid lineup overall.
5. Candice Strikers
Also a pretty solid ORAS OU core, so I’m putting them in fifth. They’ve got Seasons and White Atoq (an ORAS Seasonal winner), which gives them a lot of upside.
6 & 7. Silky Surskits and Ruin Valley Rhyperior
I’d put these two at the bottom. They do have strong players, but compared to the rest of the pool, their players don’t stack up as well, and their prep doesn’t seem as reliable.
At the end of the day, this is just for fun and not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. Rankings don’t really mean anything. If you prep well and play well, your results will show it.
