Bulky Offense Team (OU)

[Kooshaza]

Hey, I'm new to the forums and don't know much about Rmt, I've read the rules but that's about it. I've been making and testing teams for about 1 month and just recently joined the forums. Ive used this team for 2 weeks now and overall, i've been doing pretty good. But i think i need some advice. Sorry about the lack of pictures. i didn't kno how to get em'.



Azelf@Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Naive
EVs-252 Speed/252 SpAtk/4 Atk
-Stealth Rock
-Psychic
-Fire Blast
-Explosion


I chose Azelf for my lead b/c hes a pretty reliable stealth rocker who can pack quite a punch to most common leads. It can take down metagross, non-fireproof bronzong, and many more. It can also take out many leads via explosion.


Scizor@Leftovers
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
EVs-129 Health/252 ATK/129 Speed
-Roost
-Swords Dance
-Brick Break
-Bullet Punch


Bulky Scizor is my favorite type. he can really take a hit while reliably setting up for a sweep. while predictable, this scizor can really be a major threat. 2 or 3 swords dances, and most OU pokemon are 1 hitted by either bullet punch or brick break.


Dragonite@Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Adamant
EVs:224 HP/80 ATK/204 Speed
-Dragon Dance
-Fire Punch
-Roost
-Dragon Claw

Dragonite has been coming in and out. i can't quite find a replacement.The basic theme of my team is Buffing. This is a set-up team, this is where i need the most help, i need suggestions on what to add to my team in this slot.Preferably ice-resistant.

Latias@leftovers
Ability-Levitate
Nature: Timid
EVs- 129 HP/252 Speed/ 129 SpAtk
-Charge Beam
-Dragon Pulse
-Recover
-Psycho Shift

THis is an odd movepool, custom made by me. I thought, calm mind would b a good idea, o and refresh too. But then, i thought that it minimized my movepool and is not offensive enough. so charge beam was born, a reliable 70% chance to increase SpAtk while having a elec atk in my arsenal. also, psycho shift allows me to not only dispose of my statuses, but pass them on to the opponent. Latias also provides my ground, fire, elec and fighting resist.

Jirachi@leftovers
Ability:Serene Grace
Nature: Bold
EVs:204 HP/112 Def/128 SpAtk/64 SpD
-Cosmic Power
-Charge Beam
-Grass Knot
-Shadow Ball

BY FAR the most prized possession on my team. with the element of surprise, great typing, and stats, jirachi can b very dangerous. With his 100% chance spatk boost from charge beam and amazing defense from setting up cosmic power, jirachi can n the most dangerous in my team. no pokemon is a threat with more than 3 cosmic powers. the only weakness is crits, which are deadly, but ur foe will b dead b4 they get 1.


Gyarados@Leftovers
Ability:Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EVs:4 HP/252 ATK/252 Speed
-Substitute
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Bounce

With 1 or 2 DDs, gyarados is a real danger, he has excellent coverage for a 2 atk set, taking care of bulky grass in a flash, and every non resistant water pokemon down with ease. But watch out for Vaporeon, he can protect your bounces and absorb your water. when you see a vaporeon switch in jirachi to set up, he has toxic immunity and can take quite a hit from Vaporeon.




Thank you for any suggestions or feedback! Thanks!

Dragonite ,Sadly, is easily stopped by Steel Types so i would suggest you get rid of ExtremeSpeed and use Fire Punch If you Fear Skarmory or Earthquake so you can Kill Heatran.

Latias works much better with Calm Mind Instead of Charge beam since she benefits from boosting her Special Defense, Dragon Pulse already has excellent coverage barring steel types, if you want a second attack use HP Fire otherwise just use

Calm Mind
Recover
Dragon Pulse
Psycho Shift

Jirachi has a similar Problem to Latias, If you pump EVs into its defense it can actually survive well on using calm mind alone, this allows you to boost your Special Attack and you can replace Charge beam with a stronger thunderbolt, you may want to consider the Substitue Jirachi Set

252 HP / 80 SpA / 176 Spe
Calm Mind
Substitute
Flash Cannon
Thunderbolt

I have used this set to great succes and i find i rarely require any defense boost.

Other than that I think you team is pretty balanced overall.

I'm sorry but most of your descriptions are not up to the standards required in this forum. If you expand them, send me a PM and I'll unlock your thread.

Locking under rule 3 in the meanwhile:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.
