SV OU Rate my braviary hisui nuke rain team

so this is the team https://pokepast.es/2e58148ae9226860, i've been gravitating around the 1400s, 1500s mainly because im cheeks at the game but the team in itself works great.

I made it pretty much all by myself and yea

-Pelipper : Basic rain setter, u turn to slow pivot roost to heal, knock off because i removed it from treads and i need a way to make progress on bulky, semi stall and stall teams when i cant just brute force past them. It is basic 0 iv 0 ev - nature to get the slowest pivot possible. Weather ball instead of hurricane because i already have hisuian braviary clicking powerful hurricanes and i saw a lot of people leading gliscor and you lure them when they protect with knock off and then nuke with weather ball.

-Barraskewda : Not choice band because too much breaking power isnt really needed and it lures people that dont take the time to calc into switching stupidly and just get free kills. Standard water moves set, aqua jet is always cool and flip to pivot. I dont really know if i should run poison jab or cc because both are kinda good but i haven't seen much change and cc is pretty great i like this move.

-Raging Bolt : This set is pretty random to be fair it doesnt make much sense except that it's pretty good. Indeed thunderclap is broken, weather ball hits ground types that try to come in on the electric moves, dragon pulse is like the stab and volt switch is for that slow pivot on stuff that raging bolt doesnt really like and that braviary can just nuke. and also lefties are great to pivot out in my opinion better than booster energy or specs

-The man, himself , Hisuian Braviary: First things first, its scarf 224 spe timid to speed creep specs iron valiant that often runs t bolt and is a GIGANTIC threat. Braviary's speed is awful so in my opinion he needs more a scarf than a life orb. 32 spd are to invest in the bulk i should put them in hp looking back. Hurricane with sheer force is a 142 bst move that cant miss in the rain and gets boosted by stab which is just a nuke like i've already said. Psychic is like basic stab really good when you want something powerful that can't miss and just cleans up whatever is left. U-turn is to pivot but i don't really like the move i think another attack would be better because braviary is better off clicking hurricane than pivoting and ig would benefit from stuff than can hit gambit but like heat-wave does less damage in the rain so its stupid. And the last move, vacuum vave is too catch gambit on the switch 2hko and not be scared by a sucker punch that could easily ohko it and also to clean up with priority even though i have a lot of priority idk if it's good or bad.


Ogerpon-Wellspring : just a basic all-out attacker with trailblaze that helps a lot and the ultimate adamant greed. Ivy cudgel hits like a truck, can crit, op move, trailblaze boost its speed to catch stuff that would hard switch it outspeed and kill off guard, play rough because i have no fairy type and whenever i see a raging bolt i'm shivering, and power whip as a great stab. Water absorb is really useful on rain and helps out a lot here


Iron treads : Basic removal treads, hazard setter and spin blocker with tera, is pretty great against the horrifying raging bolt and can spin away the hazard that pain me so much. eq is basic, can ohko water absorb clodsire and is just a great stab, rocks are rocks, good everytime, iron head for goofy screens matchup and the fact that i get 6-0ed by specs freeze dry kyurem and spin to spin

-> the roles of each mon : pelli sets rain and barraskewda, raging bolt and braviary just try to pivot or get some chip damage on key threats, ogerpon just exists, absorbs water and revenge kills annoying mons or gets sacked most of the time and iron-treads blocks electric type damage spins and sets hazards

I really love this team .
I have made a lot of stupid teams with mons ranging from basic samu-hisui to carkol or even sunflora (before the pokeaim video) and carbink but this one feels pretty standard and working, not really clumsy

For the matchups i struggle with i'd say raging bolt, speed booster t bolt iron val and idk what else because when i play i dont really remember what is good and wrong

How do you beat stall ? idk i just played with my gut https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2544349340-nggml94ekaun9ymi1rsqsem8h03ddqmpw but the pivoting core on this team is pretty good and with the right plays you might be able to win


Thanks for reading my post and i hope you will have a great day and have some sucess with hisuian braviary

I suck too, but I'll try my best (I main Monotype, so it should be easier)
Couldn't Pelipper run Hurricane? Benefits from stab and rain and adds coverage.
Choice Band Barraskewda could be ran for more damage. Drop Aqua Jet for Poison Jab/Psychic Fangs, adds way more coverage. Alternatively, u can run LO.
Bolt with Water STAB? sign me up! Air Balloon could be ran as a psuedo-ground immunity, but I love it!
Scarf Braviary outspeeds Max Iron Valiant, as well as neutral nature max speed Greninja. I feel Vacuum Wave is a bit redundant, so maybe run Heat Wave over it?
Generalize Ogerpon by making Ivy Cudgel, Horn Leech, P Rough, and Swords Dance or any other move it gets lol.
Treads is solid. You could run Ice Spinner or Knock Off over Iron Head.
Overall, this team looks really solid! I'd give it a good 9/10.
 
Not a full rate but as a card carrying Braviary-Hisui fan slapping a Choice Scarf on it is a gross misuse of its potential. If I really wanted to run a Choice Scarf mon for that slot there are 100 different options that could do it better without exaggeration. Braviary-Hisui is better off to try Esper Wing over Psychic to get the speed boost after every use. The set suggested below can go two different ways. The Tera Poison route with Roost is an annoyer against some stall teams and will at least force them to burn a Tera where they otherwise would not want to. No promises beyond that. The Tera Fighting route with Vacuum Wave gives some insulation against Sucker Punch Kingambit in particular. I have had more success with the first and would be open to a hybrid set as well that abuses rain better hence the Hurricane slash. Pretty sure Pinkacross has a livestream using Hisuian Braviary in the YouTube rabbit hole somewhere that's worth referencing as well. Good luck with the team!

thanks so much for the feedback but what i really wanted to try is sheer force hurricane in the rain. To be fair with you i already have a pretty solid brav team with this exact moveset you described lmao but if you have any more like ev spreads i could change im always open, just to let you know that my goal is really like hurricane + sheer force and not some balance. I will def try it out though

Braviary-Hisui doesn't have a ton of EV flexibility for SV OU play. I'd go max / max Timid and call it good.
