A NON weather OU team.

Hey! It's cosbykid here! I have made a non weather OU team. I REALY have problem with Gliscor, Sand Rush Excadril, so basically sand storm teams. I cant wait until Sand Rush Excadril goes uber I will be laughing all the way up the ladder. XD. This team has about a 2:3 winning ratio so i win about 66% of the time. Im having trouble with my physical sweeper :/. I had a 252 att 252 speed Adamant Dragon Dance Haxorrus but he really sucked for some reason. I think my team has synergy and i can't find a single unresisted weakness on this team.

Aerodactyl (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

Aerodactyl is one of my favorite leads! He always gets the job done and he prevents the other lead from getting up theres. The Edge-Quake combo is amazing and hits anything for atleast 1.0x damage.He has only failed one time its because i taunted a Politoed for some reason used scald and burned which was my fault. I know its very standard but it works and sadly I never see them anymore. As you can see I run Jolly in case i run into another one and i can taunt it. I have pressure because Rock Head is pointless. Just a standard lead not much to say :/.

Metagross @ Life Orb
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 88 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

AHHHgility metagross is ok. As I said i am having trouble physical sweepers. Metagross gets the job done but he can OHKO with out that meteor mash attack boost so healthy pokemon come in and take a hit then KO back. I would like to replace him but I have tried every physical sweeper ever but nothing works so suggestions please?

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Waterfall
- Earthquake

Gyarados is pretty epic! After 2 DDs its GG. But he has one critical setback and that his severe weakness to Electricity. But that can easily be solved by having a jolteon and he covers jolteons ground weakness so they go together like Spaghetti and Meatballs. I have these EVs because I don't believe in the 'bulky' set i think the awkward Evs ruins gyarados' sweeping possibilities. As I said I have trouble with gliscor so i run Ice fang and after DD its usualy a OHKO. In the rain Waterfall is extremley beastly.

Dusclops (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake

Dusclops is my wall and I <3 it. It cannot be OHKO'ed unless there's a crit. I have the 252 Def Evs to cripple physical attackers with Will-o-Wisp so i can take a hit first then, burn and that attacker is crippled. Ice Punch for levitators and flying foes then Earthquake to rack up some damage. Pain split is a very useful recovey on foes like Blissey and stuff with massive HP.



Jolteon2.gif
Jolteon (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Jolteon is very much neededon this team! I run HP fire because for some reason Jolteon attracts scizor for some reason. Volt switch is a great scout move and with Jolteons massiove SP att and blistering speed its perfect. Thunderbolt just hits hard coming of a 523.5 at 142.5 BP that is deadly. Shadow balll to hit ground types who resist everything else. I run modest and i get 358 speed which out speeds the majority of the metagame. But it dosent outspeed TImid Max speed gengar so IDK if i should do TImid?

Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd/ 4 Hp
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse

Just standard scarf Heatran :). I run HP Electric because i NEVER see swampert. I see the occasional gastrodaon or Quagsire. Hp electric hits water types who think that they are sly for coming in. Dragon pulse for the Dragon type who basicallly owns the OU metagame. I should probably switch the HP to grass because i don't have any grass attacks. I have Flash Fire to take fire attacks aimed at metagross btw.




Thank for looking! I would really like a deep rate if possible. I'm hoping for a rate not a grammar lesson i don't care if I made a typo.
 
Yay for nonweather! :D
Since Dusclops has 70/60 offenses, attacking moves are not very effective. Night Shade / Seismic Toss is a better option over Ice Punch, as it generally will do more damage. Ice Beam can be used in the last slot to hit 4x weak to Ice harder than Ice Punch. Alternatively, you can use Taunt to stop stuff; most stuff with only one turn of set up cannot take down Dusclops because it's so bulky.
 
I second ice beam + seismic toss.

Also, have you tried scizor over metagross? He may be much slower (unless you decide to use agility on him for some ungodly reasoon) but that's what BP is for, and with a swords dance or two under your belt you get a lot of very useful KOs Try out this set:
Scizor @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 Hp/252 Atk/4 Spd
Swords Dance
Bug Bite/U-Turn/Roost
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Roost if you use LO, otherwise Bug Bite/U-Turn for extra coverage. Use bug bite for more power, U-turn if you want to scout.

One more thing,how do you have trouble with gliscor? Waterfall hits him for SE damage as well, here's some calcs:

+0 Gyarados on 252/252+ Gliscor: 49.2% - 58.2%
+1 Gyarados on 252/252+ Gliscor: 72.9% - 86.4%

Okay, Now for realistic calculations:

+0 Gyarados on 252/180+ Gliscor: 51% - 61%
+1 Gyarados on 252/180+ Gliscor: 76.3% - 90.4%

Since it's a 2HKO at worst (absolutely NOONE runs max/max+, trust me), and at the most FlingCrobat will be 3HKOing you (ice fang does a max of 19% on you, and gyara is immune to EQ), letting you set up to +2 and OHKOing back, I really don't see the need for ice fang. Replace it for stone edge or something.

Now I say replace ice fang, and then I tell you that you have no good ice moves. I'm great, aren't I? Anyway, you have no good ice moves, and ice punch on dusclops and ice fang on gyara really doesn't cut it. You need someone like Starmie or Cloyster, so you can really ruin those dragon types. I'm not sure if you want to replace gyarados or not though (I like him a lot) so it's up to you.
 
At the moment, Landorus, Excadrill, and Terrakion can all really hammer any of your switch-ins. You may want to consider replacing your Metagross with a common Gliscor set:

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Swords Dance
- Protect/Taunt

You see this guy often because he gets the job done versus sand. Another option is the Tank Bronzong set here which can be used to preserve the typing Metagross afforded you and give you room to rely on someone other than Heatran for strong Dragon-type attacks.

You may want to consider running Hidden Power [Ice] over [Fire] on Jolteon so that you can use its speed to finish off heavily Ice-weak Dragons such as Salamence and Dragonite. Plus you crush opposing Gliscor.

I would suggest going with your suspicion to use Hidden Power [Grass] over [Electric] on Heatran which will allow you to include Rotom-W in the list of Water-types you can hit for super-effective damage.
