Hello again Smogon Community, APimpNamedSlickback here with another OU RMT. After trying my hand at sunny day teams and failing miserably, I had decided I was gonna make a badass team with good synergy and cores. Heres what I came up with.
The Original Core was Ferrothorn, Jellicent, and Zapdos.
I think that this is one of the BEST cores in the whole OU Metagame.
Then I added Gyarados because Zapdos and Gyarados have a good Synergy.
Then I added Breloom because he is a good offensive mon, and takes care of my rock weakness.
Lastly I added Dragonite for another offensive mon, and to get rid of other walls like Ferro, Forry, etc.
Here we go :)
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
252 Def, 252 HP
Relaxed (+Def,-Spe)
-Stealth Rocks
-Spikes
-Gyro Ball
-Thunder Wave
1st part of the core. Mainly used for setting up hazards, and spreading parahax. Also my dragon killer (Gyro Ball). Great synergy with Jelli, Zap, Gyarados, and Dnite. Its hard as a mothafucka to kill this with the back up I've given him.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry, Multiscale
Adamant (+Atk, - SPAtk)
252 HP, 252 Spe, 4 Atk
-Dragon Dance
-Extremespeed
-Fire Punch
-Outrage
Pretty Standard D-nite sets, I messed with the EV's a bit. I think this guy is the most dangerous offensive mon in the OU Meta. Espeed for Priority, Fire Punch for Steel types, Outrage for stab boosted, dragony good destruction.
Jellicent @ Leftovers, Water Absorb
Bold (+Def,-Atk)
248 HP, 216 Def, 44 Spe
-Scald
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover
-Taunt
Jellicent is the 2nd member of the main core. He mainly switches in from expected ice, fire, fighting, steel, water, ground, and rock moves. Standard taunt wisp set. This guys almost always ends up buring 3 or 4 members of the opposing team. He is also a spinblocker.
Breloom @ Toxic Orb, Poison Heal
Jolly (+Spe,-SpAtk)
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Leech Seed
-Spore
Standard Loom with speed Ev's to outspeed mons expecting him to have less speed than he usually does. This guy has great synergy with Zapdos, and can switch back and forth to safety. SubSeed has proven to be very effective, and with Toxic Heal can gain back more health than is needed to create a Substitute. Another Offensive mon, one of the most annoying in the meta IMO.
Zapdos @ Leftovers, Pressure
248 HP, 184 SpDef, 76 Spe
Timid (+Spe,-Atk)
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Thunderbolt
-Roost
The third part of the core. Almost my whole team has synergy with him. This is a defensive variant, and has saved my ass sooo many times in battle. Sub on expected switch outs, Toxic stalling and Roost Recovery, and Thunderbolt for the Steel Types. This guy has synergy with my whole team except D-nite. Probably the MVP of the team.
Gyarados @ Leftovers, Intimidate
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SpDef
Impish (+Def, - SPAtk)
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Waterfall
-Dragon Tail
Pretty standard RestTalk Dos. Great Synergy with Zapdos, Ferro, and Cent.
This guy is mostly for stalling and fazing. Great addition to my team. Dragon Tail for switching and hazard Damage, Waterfall for stab damage, Sleep Talk and Rest for Recovery.
Well there you have it :)
This is my team with what I think is a strong core, comment, criticize whatever. Trying to find a replacement for Dnite, couldnt figure out what to put there, definitely need help there. Open to changing EV's, Sets, Items, Mons, everything. Please reply.
Thanks Again,
