Welcome to my first RMT.
I don't know if cartridge-teams are even allowed here, because it technichally isn't the OU Metagame because the standard level on cartridge is 50 and so EV-spreads are different, but I guess a mod will step in if it isn't.
As the title says, this team is on cartridge, so my options are a bit more limited, so adding mons like Thundurus or Landorus is sadly not possible.
Please keep that in my mind.
For this team I basically took half of my team from XY (Megazard X, Excadrill, Ferro) and added 3 new members (Latios, Heatran and Gengar).
So, let's start:
IMPORTANT: I WILL ADD THE EV-SPREADS FOR SOME MONS WHEN I GET HOME, AS I DONT KNOW THEM FROM THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
Charizard Charizardite
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP / 172 SpD / 84 Spe
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Claw
- Will-O-Wisp
- Roost
My mega is Charizard X and despite people keep saying it is "outclassed" by Mega Sableye I chose the Bulky SDef variant. I really dont think it is outclassed at all, as Charizard can effectively lure in and burn things like Lando-T, Azumarill and Hippo expecting a DD-Set, which Sableye obviously can't.
Excadrill Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
- Rapid Spin
Excadrill is the revengekiller and Rapid Spinner at the same time. Because i use Spikes on Ferro, I thought that Rapid Spin was the superior option to Defog.
Latios Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SDef / 252 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Surf
- Recover
I chose Latios over Greninja in this spot because of his better defensive synergy with the rest of my team. It really helps with the 3 Fighting-weak and 2 Fire-weak mons, and offers great offensive presence. As mentioned in Excadrills description, no Defog here because of Spikes on Ferro.
Ferrothorn Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Power Whip
- Spikes
Heatran Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
- Lava Plume
- Toxic
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
The Rocks setter, just fantastic and deals with things like Talonflame, who otherwise is hard to stop for my time. Can spread more status, to allow for a possible Hex sweep of Gengar.
Gengar Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Jtimid
EVs: Not sure, enough bulk to let Subs live a Clefable Moonblast, max speed and rest in SpA
- Hex
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Substitute
Big win-con against stall, and because of the burns and poisons spread by Zard and Heatran, a free Sub can often be the end with a 130BP stab behind one. Also immune to fighting, which is really useful for my team.
So thats the team, the goal is to wear down the opponent with status enough, to let Gengar, Latios or Exca put holes in the opposing team with their good power and speed and allow one of them to sweep afterwards.
Options i thought of myself:
- Taking out Gengar, because in the 10-15 battles i had on WI-Fi with this team, he really couldn't pull his weight
- With this, changing Megazards set to a DD, because i probably lack a good sweeper.
- Adding in Slowbro somewhere, because he would seriously help against the fighting and fire weaknesses this team has, but removing ferro would also remove the Spikes-option i have.
I also noticed a weakness to Sharpedo, who just needs to get in on basically anything, use Crunch on the switch and take the speed boost to just OHKO everything afterwards with Crunch or Waterfall.
Only stop to this would be Ferro, who I would have to sac one mon to get him in, because he is 2HKOd by Crunch as well.
I hope for some input, thanks in advance.
