===============================================
Introduction
Hello everyone, and welcome to this RMT. I'm playing with this team that I've built since December 2018 and I wanted to show it to you since I've made some good results with it recently. This team was built around Kyurem Black, which is one of my favorites pokemon in the OU Metagame. Now, let's go to the team showcase, enjoy!
Teambuilding Process
As I've said before, Kyurem Black is the starting point of the team. It is my win condition almost every time.
I've chosen Scizor-Mega alongside KB to have a quite good core. It deals with a lot of KB's weaknesses and It can bring KB on the field with its U-turn.
Since my core doesn't resist Fire typing-move, I've chosen Heatran to avoid a bit this weakness. It is a good Specially Defensive mon, so it's very helpful for the core. Also, it can set the rocks on which is good to weaken the opposing mons and let KB or Scizor finish them.
I needed a mon which could resist fighting typing moves and a mon which could be helpful as a scarf. Also, I needed a ground immunity. Fortunately, Lando-T was there.
I've chosen Tapu-Fini because I needed a defogger and a Pokemon which have taunt. Also, it helps me to deal with Ash-Greninja and Landorus-Therian, Fire types and Dragon types. It is also my Dark-type check.
Finally, the last mon I've chosen was Z Move Kartana. It helps me against stall, and with its great movepool it can hit some annoying mons.
In-Depth Look
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP | 128 SpD | 128 Spe
- Magma Storm
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Toxic
Heatran is here to set the rocks on and to deal with special attackers. Thanks to Flash Fire, it gives to the team a good Fire typing coverage. Protect is here to check on which move a scarf, specs or band mon will be locked-in, in addition to allowing it to heal himself. Toxic is here to annoy pokemons like Charizard Y, Zapdos, Chansey... Magma storm is here to have an offensive fire coverage, and to trap pokemons like Chansey or Zapdos to toxic them. Finally, 128 Speed allows it to outspeed Adamant Tapu-Bulu or without speed EVs Rotom-Wash.
Ability: Misty Surge
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP | 108 Def | 88 SpD | 64 Spe
- Taunt
- Surf
- Moonblast
- Defog
Tapu Fini is my Defogger and my main Ash Greninja, Pyrax, Heatran and Keldeo check. With taunt, it prevents the opponent from setting up the hazards, or sword dance, or heal himself... u got it. Also, it provides a good check to fire types that are quite annoying for Kartana and Scizor. Moonblast to hit Dark types and dragon types, surf to hit Fire types and Ground types. I've chosen Surf instead of Scald because I think Surf is more useful while I don't need to burn Tapu-Bulu on the switch because I have Scizor which checks Bulu. 64 Speed allows me to outspeed Adamant T-tar. 108 Def allows it to avoid getting 2OHKOed by +2 Hawlucha's acrobatics after Stealth Rock. 88 SpD permits it to check more efficiently Ash-Greninja and Heatran.
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 232 Atk | 68 Def | 208 Spe
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Knock Off
Landorus is my scarf. It is here to give a ground immunity to the team which is uncomfortable against an Earthquake without Lando. Stone edge to OHKO Zard Y which is a real threat to my team, U-turn to help KB coming on the field and Knock off to remove the item especially when Chansey or another Lando is coming. 208 Speed allows it to outspeed all of the Megas without a speed boost, and to outspeed some scarfed mons like Nidoking while 68 Def allows it to avoid getting 2OHKOed by non-banded Kartana's leaf blade.
Ability: Light Metal
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP | 214 Def | 48 SpD
- Curse
- Bullet Punch
- U-Turn
- Roost
It is my Mega and my defensive pivot. I've chosen Curse instead of Sword Dance because since Zygarde is banned, curse almost disappeared on Scizor-Mega's set, so it creates a lot of surprise for my opponents. Curse is also very useful because it allows Scizor to check really well Kartana, Tapu-Bulu or Lopunny-Mega. Also, it can set up on them. It can set up himself on almost every physical attacker in the game (without a fire move). It can set up himself on passive defensive/specially defensive mons, like Chansey or Ferrothorn. And of course, U-turn allows it to bring up KB really safely. 248 HP and 214 Def gives it a really good physical bulk to check physical attackers, and 48 SpD allows it to not get OHKOed by specs Ash-Gren's Hydro Pump and to tank quite well special attacks.
Ability: Teravolt
Nature: Naive
EVs: 252 SpA | 4 Atk | 252 Spe
- Fusion Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Roost
The trapstar. The l e g e n d of my team. Thanks to Teravolt, Kyurem-Black checks Mega-Venusaur, which is a very annoying mon for my team. It is the most oppressive Pokemon in my team for my opponents, thanks to the bolt-beam combo which hit almost every pokemon in the dex and earth power who complete his coverage by hitting really well Heatran and Rotom-Wash. With its really decent physical bulk, I can switch it on neutral / resisted physical moves which is great to pressure the opponent. I use it really often as my lead.
Ability: Beast Boost
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk | 4 Def | 252 Spe
- Sword Dance
- Sacred Sword
- Leaf Blade
- Smart Strike
Kartana is the last Pokemon of my team. With its monstrous attack and its good speed, it is a fear for every player. At +2, it destroys Celesteela with the Z Fight. Leaf Blade allows it to check Gastrodon Swampert-Mega, Rotom-Wash, Garchomp and Toxapex, which are common pokemons. At last, Smart Strikes is here to do massive damages to Fairy types and to Magearna (after a Sword Dance).
Threatlist
Conclusion
Overall, I think that this team is really strong in the actual metagame. I've taken a lot of fun to build it and to play it (even if it's like 5 top tiers and one really good pokemon lol). I hope you enjoyed reading this RMT, I'm waiting for your suggestions! At last, excuse me if my English is not really good and if I make spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, I'm a Frenchie lol. See ya guys!
