Hope it isn't too hard, but I would personally love a Sweeper Celesteela-based steel team. Celesteela @ Flyinium Z / Life Orb Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Autotomize - Air Slash - Fire Blast - Giga Drain / Earthquake

1) Fighting-types do not normally pose a massive threat to my team, most are safely dealt with by Tapu Fini and Metagross, which resists the rock-type coverage on them, if they even choose to carry them at all (the only fighting type i see that usually carries rock coverage as standard is...

Why are you not using Swift Swim sweepers on a rain team? I feel like Araquanid doesn't honestly do much for your team, as it is very slow and can lose momentum for the team. I propose a solution in the form of Kingdra > Araquanid. Kingdra @ Choice Specs Ability: Swift Swim EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA...

Ok, on Ferrothorn you may want to consider Power Whip > Protect, as you now have a way to hit Tapu Fini and other countless bulky water types (Slowbro, Alomomola, Suicune, etc.) that make Gyarados' and Charizard's sweep harder. Timid > Modest on Tapu Lele. You hit stupidly hard even without a...

Thanks for the rate! I played a bit with these changes and I found the following: - EQ on Gross was a great idea, not many people expect it that much tbh (most expect elemental punches) and I have better coverage generally now. - Giga Drain has served fairly well on Volcarona, as I am now able...

Fire's Fury Volcarona is one of my favourite Bug-types ever, because a) it's a bug type that can actually do shit, b) It's also a devastating sweeper and c) I like its design quite a lot. So I built this team around Volcarona and it actually worked quite well. Well, here goes nothing...

Yeah, one TR setter isn't a good choice as it will have to consistently switch in and risk 2 hits. Yes, Porygon2 is super bulky, but repeated strong hits will overwhelm it. If it loses its eviolite, which it will do due to how common Knock Off is, you'll have quite a bit of trouble. So I...

If you have problems with steel-types consider Pokemon like Magnezone to trap and remove them. You also don't have an easy way to hit bulky waters besides T-Bolt on Tapu Lele, and Magnezone does that too. Minor notices: Thunder Punch > Hammer Arm on Mega-Gross. You hit Skarmory, Celesteela...

Some pokes to consider: Tapu Koko to beat bulky water-type pokemon like Tapu Fini and Slowbro. Dugtrio to beat electric types that threaten your water types. Pelipper over Politoed. Pivot + Recovery is great and it's bulkier than most think. Mega Scizor in tandem with Koko is great, as you get...

1. do [hide = (Title of the Spoiler)] and close it with [/hide]. 2. Yes, poison mons absorb T-Spikes on switch-in. Pokemon you may want to consider for the team: Clefable. Mega Sableye is quite a large problem to your team, and as such you may want something to stop it, like Clefable who can...

Wow, it seems I am getting one good team after another! All of these suggestions so far are great and are working well. Thanks for suggesting them!

In terms of effectiveness, a lot better. You were right with a lot of things. Tapu Fini isn't as much of a problem cause Zapdos, CM Clefable is great lategame and Dugtrio's trapping is a lot more useful than I thought. I might use Sash Dugtrio, it sounds interesting, especially with Reversal.

Hey man, thanks for the ideas! I certainly tried out a few of them and the team is working much better now. What do you think of the updated team? Diamante (Sableye) (M) @ Sablenite Ability: Prankster EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Recover - Knock Off - Will-O-Wisp...

Don't ever use Specs Tapu Fini again. Never Never Never. Completely outclassed by Specs Ash-Greninja if you want water-type coverage like you said. Fini is MUCH better as a support pokemon, especially since you don't have a way to keep entry hazard off the field like Stealth Rock, so change Tapu...

Stall is a consistent, reliable playstyle in the OU metagame. Generally, I try to update old teams from previous gens before going completely new and building another team. I found an old Stall team I built all the way back in early 2015, so I figured ''Why not have a crack with it on the Gen 7...

Thank you for the advice! These changes made my team a lot better, and I am getting more and more wins now.

This is my first time building a team on SM's OU, so I would love an suggestions and feedback you guys can give me! I wanted to build around two things here: 1) Mega Charizard X, as it is not only one of the coolest looking Megas, but also a very threatening sweeper as well, and 2)...
