6 Paths of Pain

.::Six Paths of Pain::.

"Pwn'd x6"

This is my OU tem, that cameback from the dead, As you can see I made a massive improvement in the design of the RMT. This team is Bulky Offensive / Offensive. Basically start the game Raising Hell to the enemy with the WallBreakers, Next my set-up mons start the show, And if the don't manage to finish the job, my late game sweeper will come and kick their sorry asses. I made a few OU teams but this one is the most sucesseful. Without further ado, here's the team:

.::OVERVIEW::.

.::

.

::.

.::In Depth::.

Hephaestus

@

Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Nature: Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
~

Stealth Rock
~

Overheat
~

Hidden Power
~

Earth Power

This is my lead of Choice, Heatran. I normally send this guy first, all the time, except against Mienshao or Politoed. If able, Heatran puts SR right away and then it stays and kill something or switches out right away to be useful later. Overheat blows everything away and can make a Dent on almost Anything. Earth power for Others tran and overall coverage, Hidden Power ce for the Dragon, since Heatran will be the one tanking the Draco Meteors in the tier. With Air Baloon is a decent check for Excadrill and Landorus, and even without Air Baloon, can still destroy Excadrills, because bitches think imma gonna switch, and try to set-up SD just to get Overheat in their faces. I can't tell how many Ragequits I provoked with such a n00b move.

Dr. Fetus

@

Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SAtk
Nature: Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
~

Shadow Ball
~

Focus Blast
~

Calm Mind
~

Recover

Reuniclus, That Alien Fetus in Green Gello is here too. This time in not here to Kidnap Bandage Girl from Super Meat Boy, but to pwn the poké-enemys. Offensive Calm Mind is my sett of choice, as it can 2HKO Chansey and Blissey after 2 Calm Minds. Recover helps me keeping healthy, and thats especially good when set-upping on Ferrothorn face. Shadow Ball and Focus Blast gives him perfect coverage, and altought I dont have STAB, i have no regrets when i enter a Calm Mind War with enemy Reuniclus and come out as the winner because i have Shadow Ball, and the enemy has lol Psychic. It is also a good sponge, and simply Loves taking Leech Seed, Toxic, Will-o-Wisp. Also at full heatlh, It can deal with Tyranitar, tanking Crunch and killing with Focus Blast. Life Orb is just awesome, as it pushes Reuniclus power and has no DrawBacks because of that Sweet Ability.

Heihachi

@

Trait: Guts
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 SDef
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
~

Bulk Up
~

Drain Punch
~

Mach Punch
~

Payback

My second Set-Up Sweeper. I consider Conkeldurr my best team member, he can set-up so easily his Bulk Ups, and destroy entires teams so fast is not even funny. Bulk Up turns Conkeldurr in a powerful physical wall that really packs a Punch. Leftovers + Guts makes the enemy careless and I often get a Free Boost with Will-o-Wisp. +6 Conk, if burned can reach about 2500 Atk, and that's really cool. Drain Punch to recover Life, Mach Punch bypasses his bad speed and allow me to defeat threats that would otherwise wreck me. Payback works well with His Bad Speed and can get Latios and Espeon on the switch. I would get sweeped so many times f it wasn't for this Clown Nosed Behemoth.

StarScream

@

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
~

Draco Meteor
~

Trick
~

Psychock
~

Hidden Power

Here's my excellent Wall Breaker, Latios. Draco Meteor coming from this guy hurts like a bitch, 2HKO'ing Offensive Scizor on the switch with the spA drop, and has a small possibilty to OHKO with Stealth Rock. HP Fire Messes with Ferrothorn and Jirachis who try to wall it, Trick messes with walls Latios can't defeat like Chansey. Psyshock while cool, can't do his job on taing down Blissey and Chansey only making about 30% with Specs on. Maybe I should Swap with Thunderbolt or Surf or Grass Knot.... Anyway Latios is my saving grace overall, because it protects me from Bulky Calm Minds like Suicune who would otherwise be problems and Raise hell for the enemy.

Leviathan

@

Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP / 76 Atk / 92 Def / 184 Spd
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
~

Waterfall
~

Bounce
~

Taunt
~

Dragon Dance

My last Set-up Sweeper, BulkyDD Gyarados. It is awesome. Taunt completely messes with Baton Pass teams and prevent Skarmory from Phazing me, so i can set-up on their faces, Dragon Dance raises Gyarados power, something easy when Intimidate soften the blows. Waterfall is the main STAB and completely messes with most things. Bounce is a odd choice but it really helps me out not being fodder for Grass and Water Types. It is really a great mon, able to check many threats, altought it hates being Will-o-Wisped. This guy s a good check against Scrafty and Conkeldurr and an awesome Pokémon in general

Inari

@

Trait: Sand Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Nature: Lonely (+Atk, -Def)
~

Earthquake
~

Stone Edge
~

Hammer Arm
~

Hidden Power

Finally the last member, my late game sweeper, Scarf Landorus. Works well with Gyarados, covering each other's weaknesses, and general Thunder Wave because i don't know which metagame I'm playing but this one is full of them. Hammer Arm defeats Tyranitar and Baloon Excadrill/Terrakion. Stone Edge murders Latios and levitators, EQ is a general powerful STAB, and HP Ice beats down Landorus and Gliscor. Sand Force altought useless at first sight gets a lot of uses because of the quantity of Sandstorm going around.

.::Final Notes::.

And that's it. Hope you had fun reading all this. This was my best OU Team, but there's always room for improvement, so Let's roll!

Below you have all that extra stuff needed.

Rex Exploder · Aug 4, 2011

Threat List:

Does that even exist? Scarf Landorus, BAloon Tran. Easy as pie.
A Bit Tricky if it enters on Conk. Gyarados can Bounce, Heatran and Latios murder with STAB.
No big deal. I might try to blast him away with Latios or make an Bulk Up war with my own Conk. I haven't lost one yet.
These things only appear in the sun. Landorus is a great check
A bit of a pain. Latios can endure an Ice Beam and KO Back. Reuniclus also has a shot.
Mostly Leads, are DD variants are killed by Specs Latios even with Multiscale. Support can sometimes be an annoyance.~
Wut? Conkeldurr and Reuniclus are cool, Landorus can tank an Aqua Jet and KO Back.
Dies to Conk if switching on Payback. Landorus make a Quick Job of it, Latios too.
With Baloon, Heatran can kill him with ooverheat, Conkeldurr can tank and EQ and KO with Drain Punch, or Mach Punch if +1, Reuniclus can tank an Unboosted X-Scissor and KO with Focus Blast, Gyarados can lower his attack, tank a Rock Slide and KO with Waterfall, Landorus survives a Rock slide and kills with Hammer Arm or EQ.
Landorus outspeeds and kills, Reuniclus can tank a Shadow Ball and KO back, I seen my Conk take a psychic from it and survive so....
Killed by my own Gyarados, Landorus checks it, Latios can survive almost anything and put a huge dent on it.
Most are CB Version, so they die to Latios. Never seen Scarfed. Heatran can take Outrage and Kill with HP Ice
Landorus, +2 Conk kills him with Mach Punch, My own Tran can kill bulky variants.
Barely seen. Normally Gyarados is a fitting choice, or even Landorus.
Don't see many, I normally use Heatran.
Latios and landorus wreck him.
Landorus and Heatran. Specially Defensive can be a Pain.
LOL Landorus
A Pain in the Rain, my best bet is Gyarados.
Landorus and Latios. Conkeldurr is good too
Kill him with my own Landorus, or use Baloon Tran.
Tough cookie, Modest are wrecked by my own Latios. Gotta predict
Normally I let one Pokémon Fall Asleep. Then switch to Tran and Kill.
Landorus is nice, Conkeldurr is decent too
Blow him away with OverHeat or Draco Meteor
Bitches trap my Tran and are killed back. Landorus switches in T-Bolt and kills
Heatran, Conkeldurr
Heatran, Landorus is cool too
Landorus can take HJK and Ko Back, Latios outspeeds and kills.
Fight him with my own Reuniclus in Calm Mind War. Specs Draco Meteor or Trick are nice too
Latios
Heatran trps in Outrage and murders with HP ice
Tricky, Normally Drain Punch him.
Doesn't do anything against Tran, Conk wins on 1 vs 1, Gyarados can set-up
Latios or Gyarados
Latios. Barely see this here
Calm Mind war with Reuniclus.
Trick him or Taunt and he has nothing.
Modest are killed by Latios, Landorus for the rest
Conkeldurr can take a CC and KO back with Drain Punch.
Lure him with Gyarados, switch to Landorus and kill with Stone Edge.
Don't see him much. Stone Edge here too.
Conkeldurr and Landorus make mince meat out of him
Baloon Tran is my best bet here. Somethimes i lose a pokémon to sleep.
Barely see him, but can be dangrous. Scarf Landorus
Gyarados Intimidates, tanks a Stone Edge and kills with Bounce
Takes a lot from SR, dies to Bounce Gyarados or Stone Edge Landorus
Conkeldurr
Sometimes hard to predict, Mach Punch is cool

puking_rainbows · Aug 4, 2011

Wow! Very impressive team you got there. It seems well structured, well thought and tested. There aren't many things I can comment on this, maybe because of my lack of experience or because of my "not-so-good" rating capabilities, but the thing I see is a possible LO Nidoking weakness. Although you have a Latios which can outspeed Nidoking, it can stil be somewhat of a threat to you.

I'm sorry I can't be of any more help. Your team is well constructed (:

Rex Exploder · Aug 4, 2011

Thankx

LO Nidoking is no threat, if it appears in front of my Gyarados I can predict a T-bolt and spank him with Both Landorus and Latios. Also it is pretty uncommom so, no biggie.

Eternal · Aug 4, 2011

Hey Rex Exploder, this is a cool RMT, you put a lot of effort on it's appeal. I also like how it doesn't rely on weather to beat weather abusing threats. But, I do see a couple of big threats to this team. These threats include Life Orb sweeper Gengar, Nasty Plot sweeper Thundurus, and Life Orb sweeper Starmie (especially in the rain). A Gengar can easily subdue any one of your Pokemon with Shadow Ball or Focus Blast without having to use Substitute. Your best bet is to send in Conkeldurr (which can only revenge kill it and would need at least 52.74% - 62.14% HP to live a Shadow Ball and revenge kill). Thus, Conkeldurr is not a safe option. Next, Thundurus is able to sweep the whole team with a Nasty Plot boost as your whole team is unable to out speed this beast. Every single Pokemon in your team gets OHKO'd after a Nasty Plot and Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, Hidden Power Ice. Then we have Starmie, which also sweeps this whole with Life Orb in the rain with Hydro Pump, Thunder, and Ice Beam (only Pokemon you can rely on revenge killing Starmie is Latios, which takes 68.86% - 81.46% from Ice Beam).

Not only that, your team would have a hard time against a lot of rain abusers since your only Pokemon you have to deal with rain abusers are Latios and Gyarados (which is weak to Stealth Rock and you have no spinner). And I see a very good solution to fix this problem. That is, replacing Gyarados for a specially defensive Gastrodon. Gastrodon will allow you to wall so many of your threats and handle Thundurus, Starmie, Gengar, Rotom-W, etc. Not only that, it has priority recovery and only takes 6.25% from SR damage unlike Gyarados. I highly recommend using Gastrodon over Gyarados. Here's the set:

Gastrodon @ Leftovers -- Storm Drain
Nature: Calm - EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
- Toxic
- Recover
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Lastly, I really recommend giving your Naive nature over Lonely. You really don't want to lower Landorus' crucial defense stat that allows it take damage from things like Bullet Punch Scizor, Mach Punch users like Conkeldurr, Extremespeed Lucario, Extremespeed Dragonite, and many other physical priority users. Giving Landorus SpDef doesn't really make much sense.

Rex Exploder · Aug 4, 2011

Actually My Landorus is scarfed, so i can subdue Thunderbro. I never really had a lot of problems with Starmie as they usually lead, and my Latios can tank an Ice Beam. Gengar is a pain sometimes. The suggestion of the Gastrodon look pretty intersting that's something I'll try, altought my team does not struggle nearly as much with Rain since Swift Swimmers were banned. I'll test Gastrodon for about 15-20 battles, And if I get cool results, i swap them

And for no reason i'll put this here:

"You will make me die gruesome deaths over 9000 times..."

Smith · Aug 5, 2011

Hey this is an awesome RMT! The team itself is very solid and the presentation is very pleasant so good show. There isn't much to improve upon but I'll give you just a couple thoughts.

On Heatran, I'd personally prefer SR / Overheat / Hidden Power (grass) / Dragon Pulse. First off, this brings you fantastic coverage by hitting everything except opposing Heatran effectively (who also can't do anything in return thanks to Balloon). Dragon Pulse hits dragons harder that HP Ice, which can definitely matter in situations like Lati@s or Dragonite who might not take enough from HP Ice. HP Grass is also helpful to catch Politoed or Gastrodon or other waters on the switch, as opposed to Earth Power which isn't useful for most things in the BW Metagame.

On Reuniclus, I'd prefer you use Psychoshock over Shadow ball. Not having STAB kind of sucks, and while I understand the appeal of having Shadow Ball, Psychoshock can do the same things and grant you STAB. Shadow Ball is useful for you to beat opposing Reuniclus or Latias or psychic types in general in CM wars. Psychoshock also achieves this by hitting the significantly weaker side of the opponents defenses, and will still ultimately net you the win unless an untimely critical hit arises. With more reliable STAB you won't have to use inaccurate Focus Blast to hit for as hard as you might need to in certain scenarios.

That's really it, this is a well constructed team and thread. I hope this helps!

Rex Exploder · Aug 5, 2011

First things first. First Gyarados Back Sprite was a royal pain to get, really, so if you need it, feel free to copy/paste as i found it in a fórum and don't remember which one.

Heatran@ Looks good, since I changed the nature for Modest i'm losing against Opponent Tran more easily, except for the bulky versions. Quagsire with Stockpile is just so horribly painful for me, so more Grass Type move are welcome.

Reuniclus@ I already tested 252 HP/252 Def/ 4 SDef. Looked bulkier and could survive a Scizor but I ultimately forgot to change it haha. Psychock also looks nice, gotta test.

Conkeldurr@ Heihachi sounds cooler >: Other than that altought the change is slight, i see no problem, tweaking the EV's.

Latios@ I'm still deciding and Testing Surf vs T-Bolt. The one who helps more, s the one that will end up instead of Psychock.

Landorus@ I think i'll just change for a nature that lowers SDef. I never really had my Landorus outspeed in about 300 battles with this team except for Deoxys-S and Weather Abusers, and the extra power with enemy sndstorm is really good.

Tjank you!

monty1104 · Aug 5, 2011

Pretty cool team. Props for naming Conkeldurr after a Tekken Character. I might have to rename all my pokemon now :p

Jirachee · Aug 5, 2011

Hey there,

This is really a good team. Everything is in place to beat mostly everything in the metagame, which is kinda rare for a weatherless offensive team. Even then, some threats will cause you trouble. The first one is most probably Latios. In order to deal with most of them, I suggest you remove Hidden Power Fire from it, since it causes it to have imperfect Speed IVs, and change it for any special attack of your choice (Surf and Thunderbolt together are kinda neat, and Grass Knot helps you pummel Tyranitar.) Since you stated it helps you with Ferrothorn and Jirachi, keep in mind that Jirachi seriously laughs at it, while Ferrothorn can be dealt with by other team members. Since most Latios carry HP Fire, it will give you the opportunity to always outspeed them. Another thing that could help you is U-Turn on Landorus. While Hammer Arm does many things, they can all be done by your Conkeldurr, while U-Turn let you do some super-effective damage to an ennemy Latios aiming at getting on Earthquake, letting you place your own and KO it.

Also, opposing Reuniclus can be a pain. Once yours is down, you'll be hard pressed to stop it, while it can proceed to OHKO everything on your team (taking in account it won the boosting war) To ensure you don't lose boosting wars, Psyshock, like Smith said, is necessary. Shadow Ball kinda sucks since it's unSTABed, while Psyshock will at least let you damage +6 SpD opponents. Also, I'd swap the 4 HP EVs to Speed EVs, since most Reuniclus choose to fully invest in their bulk, and put the leftover EV in a random useless stat (like SpA).

Having said this, your team is pretty good. Good job.

Chieliee · Aug 5, 2011

in the threat list:

[jolteon pic] LOL Landorus

Except for when they predict it and go for the HP Ice. You have to take stuff like that into account. And this is not the only one where this rule counts.

Rex Exploder · Aug 5, 2011

Yeah. but by that logic, I can't win no mtches because the opponet will predict my face. Latios can tank HP Ice and kill Jolteon btw.

Jirachi@ I hve no time now so i'll respond your post later ;D
