Hi,
I am a fresh member of the Smogon Community but I've a 2-month experience of competitive battling.I mainly use a Hyper-Offensive Teams which have got me a a decent amount of wins in PS and work okay with my DS.Roughly I have a win rate of 60% which is for me,very unsatisfactory.I barely make any rash mistakes but still I end up losing.So I am hoping to Improve through patching up the holes in my Team.Without further ado lets move on to the topic.Here is my team,I appreciate any suggestions given to me and all of them will be tried out since I am always willing to do what is necessary to win
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 Spd
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Roost
- Brave Bird
EV'd like an average Skarmory,This guy is naturally one of the greatest walls in the current OU metagame.I basically use this guy to set up my Hazards and switch into physical attackers forcing them to switch into a Sp.Attacker and falling prey to my double switch prediction.Brave Bird really helps with Brelooms.Roost for recovery and Taunt is to stop those Ferros and slower Skarmory variants from setting up Hazards and Leech Seed's even though this has worked great for me,I did find my self in situations where I could use Whirlwind more than taunt.So I am looking for suggestions on that.Now lets move on to my next Poke
Heatran (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Standard Sp.Attacking Heatran.Combined with Skarmory's spikes and Heatran's Stealth Rocks the enemy takes quite some damage which helps me out a lot since most of my battles get dragged to very tight spots where every singe hit point counts.I am using Flamethrower as the shaky accuracy of Fire Blast has cost me quite a number of games.Earth Power to deal with other Heatran and Drought Inducing Ninetales and finally Hidden Power Ice to deal with those Dragons locked into Outrage.He is my only counter to Scizor,Ferrothorn,Foretress,the Steel Trio.
Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- ExtremeSpeed
- Earthquake
Yep,looking at my team you should now have gotten a general idea I abuse the most used Poke's in the tier one of them is my DDANCE Dragonite with Multiscale.He and Heatran share a pretty good synergy,Whenever I am faced with a Dragon/Ice Type that outspeeds me which happens on a regular basis I can switch into my Heatran.I also get many free switch in's into Heatran as people predict it and go for EQ but are suprised by Air Balloon.Yeah I don't tend to reveal my Air Balloon until Mid-Game.MultiScale guarantees me a Free DDANCE which can completely destroy teams after the member of the steel trio falls.I am also considering Fire Punch over EarthQuake or ExtremeSpeed to deal with Scizor's that switch in as soon as MultiScale is broken and I get a DDANCE up.Which move should I replace ?. Dragonite basically functions as my Set Up sweeper
Starmie @ Choice Specs
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
Another one of the most abused Pokes in the Metagame.BoltBeam Starmie.First of all let me tell you the reason for Specs on my Starmie.I mainly use him for attacking and since I have a Tyranitar on my team it is practically impossible for Starmie to live enough to do some damage with Life Orb,Hence the Specs.Starmie also fills up the role as my spinner in the team and helps Dragonite from getting rocks dug into him and crippling MultiScale.He has also done me some wonders like OHKOing a Gengars which walk into Starmie like its no big deal with specs boosted Hydro Pump and many other Pokes who would live a Life Orb attack from Starmie.Sadly he cannot take hits
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
- Pursuit
ScarfTar,Finally A pokemon that isn't abused as hell in the Metagame.Yes I know the sand is quite harmful for the team but Dragonite has leftovers so my setup sweeper isn't affected much.Honestly,I had only adder ScarfTar to my team due to those annoying Politoeds everywhere dominating my team.Just for the weather.I know Sand damages my team but also does the same to the opponent.Instead if Rain is allowed to continue it will not damage my team but boost the opponents greatly,hence I decided to choose Sand as it is somewhat Balanced in most Weather-War situations.But when I actually used this guy he got me a crazy amount of wins single handedly and has helped me a lot in tight spots as ScarfTar isn't common anymore it surprises the enemy.Crunch is a solid stab coming from that monstrous 367 attack stat.Stone edge is the second stab also coming from the same attack but higher power and a crit ratio which is pretty nice.Ice Punch is for Dragons who think too highly of themselves and finally Pursuit for killing Starmie,Latios,Gengar's who decide to chicken out.
Breloom (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Low Sweep
- Mach Punch
- Spore
Well then back to abusing more OP Pokemon.Breloom is at its peak in the current metagame.Not much to say about this guy.Technician is awesome !!.Life Orb is a problem since Sand+Life Orb damage but generally Breloom does his job before Tyranitar has to come in.Speedtie's with Politoed OHKO with Life Orb Technician Bullet Seed,has a pretty good chance of OHKOing Mamoswine with Mach Punch after Stealth Rocks and 3 layers of Spikes damage.Basically my Priority Sweeper.Spore + Low Sweep Combo has worked out better than Swords Dance for me since I can predict that Latios coming in and Low Sweep it on the switch in reducing his speed and then spore it.Thats all of my folks
Note-I am willing to change my team from Hyper Offense to Balance or anything you say for the good.As I said before,I am always willing to do what is necessary to win.
