Another OU RMT

So recently, I've been wanting to make a team with mixmence in it. With the help of a few friends, we were able to make it. Its more offensive then I am used to, but its been doing pretty well, but as with any teams, there can be some holes, tbh I havent found any major ones, but hopefully you guys can help me find them. Anyways, here it is:



Overview:

swampert.png

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/52 SAtk/216 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Ice Beam
Alright, so here is a special defense spin on classic mixpert, as I needed some type of thing that could sponge some fire hits, and sp def pert works well. So lay up rocks, and against metagross and heatran, protect on the explosion. Protect helps for scouting too, EQ for STAB, ice beam for dragons and the random grass switch-in.



magnezone.png

Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 172 HP/84 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Magnet Rise/?
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
The ever classic steel trapping magnezone, as I wanted to make a team with mixmence, magnezone helps take care of any CB varients. So T-Bolt for obvious STAB, HP Ice is for dragons and grasses, plus helps when I'm 1v1 with latias. Subsitute on steels so they cant hurt me, and magnet rise if needed. Magnet rise hasn't been of that much use as of late, are there anyother option for that slot?



salamence.png

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 84 Atk/208 Spd/216 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Roost
The ever nice mixmence, which is the main focus for making the team. So Draco Meteor for the powerful STAB, EQ takes out heatrans, damages T-Tar, and is really my main physical move. Fire blast takes care of any steels that are able to get past magnezone. Roost heals off SR, sandstorm, and LO damage. I prefer it over outrage, so yea.



infernape.png

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 60 Atk/198 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Ice]
One of my late gamers, able to sweep up when the jobs almost done. Main reason it is here is for CCing, and provide help late gaming. So CC takes out blissey, which I can struggle with. Fire Blast for STAB, and steels, grass knot for bulky waters, and HP ice for any dragons that might try to switch in.



gengar.png

Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Trick
Advice from a friend on another forum made me change the scarf celebi that was here to scarf gengar. This also provides a safer way to kill gyarados too, but with trick being in the last slot, rocks and LO/SS damage are needed to kill mence off. So shadow ball for STAB, psychics, and ghosts. Thunderbolt for waters and fliers, focus blast for normals, ttar, and steels. Trick is able to cripple blissey and other walls when they might pose a threat.



tyranitar.png

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
This was more or less a filler, but its done its job quite well. I needed something that was physical, and that might help, DDT-Tar came to mind. So Dragon Dance for obvious reasons, Aqua Tail was the prefered choice over fire punch, as I have no other water moves, so Aqua Tail helps kill fires, grounds, and rocks. Stone Edge for STAB and killing fliers, Crunch for another STAB, and a way to hurt ghosts and psychics.




So thats it, tell me what you guys think. Any advice would be nice.
 
Variants of Lucario may cause a few problems, mainly the Swords Dance+Life Orb variants. Tyranitar takes x4 from its Close Combat, while Magnezone takes double damage (making for sort of a Magnet Pull backfire.) The problems it poses are minor, as Salamence, Infernape and Swampert can be checks for it if they're still around.

Two valuable Pokemon of this team - Swampert and Tyranitar - take heavy damage from Grass Knot in terms of Base Power. If it comes from a Grass-Type then Infernape can be a remedy (unless Fire Blast were to miss, of course.) From what I've seen, read about and experienced in battles, Grass Knot is somewhat common to say the least.

Weavile, depending on the moves it has, can hurt you somewhat too. I know Infernape and Salamence can help stop it, but Ice Shard/Ice Punch, Pursuit/Night Slash and Brick Break can hurt Salamence, Gengar and Tyranitar quite a bit, especially if your opponent sets up a Stealth Rock while your Swampert attempts to.

My thoughts on Magnezone are maybe replacing Magnet Rise for Protect, if MR doesn't help you out that much. Though it seems redundant, Protecting behind a Substitute will help you scout and buy you a turn of Leftovers recovery, allowing for more Subs down the line. Flash Cannon may also work to help take out Rock and Ice-Types.

The things I pointed out all seemed minor because I know you have things to check them assuming luck is on your side. Those are things I'd worry about regardless though (if this were my team, that is.) It seems pretty solid to me.
 
ok...... thanks for informing me of 3 things i might have to watch but have a nice check to all 3 (that being gengar usually, as with scarf it can outspeed and kill with shadow ball or focus blast most of the time)

I use Scarf Gengar all the time and it's not by any means a check to pokemon like Lucario, Weavile, or Tyranitar. Focus Blast has really shaky 70% accuracy. Plus, some Lucario run Bullet Punch to help for a late game sweep, and Gengar won't survive a +2 Bullet Punch from Lucario. And one miss of Focus Blast will result in either Weavile or Tyranitar getting an easy KO on Gengar. Not to mention if it's locked into the wrong move when Weavile or Tyranitar come out (like Shadow Ball or Thunderbolt) then it becomes Pursuit bait.

And for your Magnezone, Flash Cannon is your best bet, letting you hit the Rock and Ice types for super effective STAB damage.

Yea, but sometimes its the best option I have tbh. BP on luke is just a bad option, so of course it may not be ran much at all. And if T-Tar or weavile try to pursuit, it means I can bring in a guy, and either ape or pert can live a hit from weavile and kill it, and T-Tar can either be delt with by mence or t-tar. While it may seem like risky situations either way, I dunno what else to do tbh. I have no clue if anything would work better anywhere, cuz i think the synergy is pretty good at this point, so yea.
