ORAS OU A Princess, Guacamole, and a Red Dragon?

[GrapeFrost]

After testing in 50 battles, my record is 47-3 with this team

​

Elizabeth (Gardevoir-Mega) @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Calm Mind​

This set is a very common set, but its used for very obvious reason. one calm mind and it can tear through teams. The only problem i've found with Gardevoir was how physically frail it is, and is very annoying to work around. But after setup, it will destroy everything. The timid nature allows it to outspeed Jolly Excadrill and Timid Heatran, which works in your favor, seeing as how they're both OHKOed by Focus Blast, (if Heatran is specially defensive, then it will miss out on the OHKO).

Nuh. (Tyranitar) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge​

Tyranitar has 3 jobs for this team 1. Pursuit Trap 2. Prime for Sand Mayhem 3. Kill Some Things
Pursuit trapping is useful for this team because Mega Gardevoir gets 2HKOed by Latios's Psyshock. Prime for Sand Mayhem is obvious, and kill some things applies for Weavile, Heatran, Alakazam on a switch, and every Ice, Steel, Fire, and Psychic type.

Guacamole (Excadrill) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin​

Did I tell you that "Prime for Sand Mayhem" is obvious, or not? In sand, It outspeeds most scarf users, and Ohkos most things on top of it. Outside of Tyranitar, Excadrill (in sand) is my secondary check. Excadrill handles all of the pokemon that check Mega Gardevoir except Levitate Brongzong, which is easy to accommodate for. While weather was nerfed, it's still not hard to use Excadrill as a late game sweeper. Rapid Spin is used to take pressure off Talonflame, and Mega Gardevoir.

The Red One (Latias) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Energy Ball
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish​

With Latias being Scarfed, it will outspeed a lot of things. Barely anything wants to take a Draco, because it will either OHKO or do crazy damage, besides pokemon that resist. energy ball and psyshock are for coverage, and healing wish is for the scenario "You've done your job, time for Mega Gardevoir to sweep some more shit."

Fat Tweety (Talonflame)
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 180 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Roost
- Acrobatics
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance​

The reason for Swords Dance over Bulk Up is that after one Bulk Up, Acrobatics wont OHKO Keldeo, but one Swords dance will KO Keldeo, and a lot of other things. The Priority is nice because of the fact that its not max speed, so some things will outspeed, that normally wouldn't. It's my main counter for Ferrothorn, Sczior, Mega Scizor, and Mega Metagross, becuase I don't want Mega Gardevoir to rely on focus blast, and its lackluster defense stat.

Dildo-Resolute (Keldeo-Resolute) @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind​

Keldeo has been a huge threat ever since its release. Being able to wall Excadrill, with a max of 95% damage, and scald OHKOs back. Keldeo explains itself.

Hi, i'd like the concept of the team but i think its not perfect, i'll do have some suggestions for it :


I'd say that Excadrill isn't a very good stealth rocker in general, even less with Sand Rush since its used as a late game sweeper, a revenge killer and as a Wallbreaker, by that you will know that stealth rocks is a waste of a slot on him and you should defintively don't use them on him. I'd suggest to try an Air Balloon with Rock Slide over Stealth Rocks, its a more offensive set and it will allow you to work as a really good check to other sands teams which is really cool.

Choice Scarf on Lati@s is a pretty bad item since its easily pursuit trappable and it can't really do correctly his work (dropping dracos everytime), and anyway you already have Excadrill to revenge kill stuff (and it have a better coverage/stab which allow him to threat like +1 M-Altaria). also, i'm not seeing how Latias is better than Latios on this team since you don't really need the Healing Wish support and Latios is just better than him most of time because it have a better offensive pressure, the Life Orb set is the best one

I don't think that this Keldeo set is the best one for your team, i could suggest to use a SubCM one since you have a decent pursuiter in the back to pursuit trap common switch-in to Keldeo even after a CM (such as Lati@s and Starmie which have Psyshock to beat him), leftovers also help in a long run.


You still lack of a good stealth rocker, i'd suggest to try a Support set on your Tyranitar instead of the Choice Scarf one, it will still work as a decent check to Lati@s, the thing is that without the Choice Scarf, Gengar would be pretty threating for your team, in addition to M-Alakazam which was already a huge one since it can trace Sand Rush of your Excadrill and counter-sweep you. maybe Tornadus-T would be better on this team as an offensive pivot instead of Talonflame, it check Gengar, M-Alakazam in addition to Serperior which was already checked by Talonflame, Sludge Wave could be cool on him since it help against like Azumarill.

Hey there! Nice team and glad you're having success. My only changes I'd suggest is that with 2 choice scarfers is a bit redundant, and your talonflame set needs improvement. I think with using sand rush excadrill, stealth rock on him is a wasted slot as he can be a very potent sweeper with swords dance. With this change of Swords Dance >>> Stealth Rock, I'd move it to Tyranitar. This allows you to give him Smooth Stone / Leftovers and then Stealth Rock over Pursuit/Crunch.

Next is Talonflame,

+1 0 Atk Talonflame Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Keldeo: 324-384 (100.3 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

This is the calc for a +1 0 Atk talonflame, for the specially defensive set it still OHKO's Keldeo after a simple bulk up. This also would allow you to drop all of your Investment, but still counter the steel types you mentioned via bulking up in their face with threat of willow-wisp. Also it will give you a switch into opposing M-Gard/Zard-Y without having to risk Excadrill getting wittled down or OHKO'd by focus blast/fire blast respectively.

Hope it helped!

You can use Defog on Latias and use Swords Dance with Air Balloon Excadrill since it would add a little more offense to your team.Anyways,I like the Idea of your team and GoodLuck with that :)
