Cotton, a Frozen Dragon, a Psychic Fox, a Clam, a Ghost, and a Pony (Weatherless OU)

[Pocketmon]

Welcome to Pocketmon's first RMT! This team is a weatherless OU offensive team with a twist. It focuses on Whimsicott (Whimsicott competitively! GASP) setting up Tailwind for Kyurem-B, Sash Cloyster lead
doin' his trolly stuff, and Gengar and CM Keldeo gaining benefit from the holes that were opened up.

Changes in red.

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SDef
- Tailwind
- Substitute
- Taunt
- U-turn

For once, Whimsicott not being a SubSeeding troll. Tailwind is to help a Kyurem-B sweep. Substitute does 3 things, which is why it is useful, 1. Lower health means Weaker attacks will KO it and Kyurem can get as many Tailwind turns as possible. 2: prevent Breloom Spore. 3: disguise itself as a staller. The EVs and IVs are so I can get a Tailwind up before other fast priority, and so I die as quickly as possible.

Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb
Trait: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 96 Def / 4 SpA / 156 Spd
Naughty Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Ice Beam
- Fusion Bolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
The Tailwind sweeper. EVs give it power and let it outspeed standard Venusaur and Victreebel under sun with Tailwind, as well as allowing it to survive Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punch at full health.. Dragon Ckaw is a reliable physical STAB. Fusion Bolt hits bulky Water types. Teravolt allows HP Fire to go through Forretress and Skarmory's Sturdy, which is nice.

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]

The team's revenge killer. It beats out Scizor (a HUGE threat to this team). Nothing much of importance here. Alakazam is (probably) staying, though, because it is great lategame, too.

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Naive Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Smash
- Hydro Pump

My sash lead. The Kyurem/Cloyster hyperoffensive combo is quite good. Two 125 Power attacks, one of them being a STAB, is quite powerful. Shell Smash=self explanatory. I use Hydro Pump because the things Razir Shell hits over Hydro Pump are easily handled by the rest of the team. Sadly, Cloyster is easily revenge killed by Lucario and Conkeldurr, which brings me to...

Gengar (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Substitute
- Disable
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast

This things is one of my three powerful special attackers. Its checks and counters are generally eliminated by Zam, Kyurem, and Cloyster, and the things that wall it are, too. This makes Gengar great on this team. Also, things like Conkeldurr can easily get past the rest of the team...but not Gengar, thanks to SubDisable! Ferrothorn also gives a LITERAL TON of
trouble to the rest of the team, but Gengar can Disable Gyro ball, and then freely set up a Sub and beat it with Focus Blast.

Keldeo-Resolute @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Ghost]

One of the things that troubles the rest of my team are bulky Water types, which there are many of. So Keldeo comes in. Getting help from Kyurem and Cloyster's wallbreaking, it sets up CM on Jellicent, Vaporeon, Politoed, and other bulky Water types.


So, there you have it. This team is particularly good against stall thanks to Gengar's ability to beat Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Gliscor, Whimsicott's Encore, Keldeo's ability to beat Jellicent, and the ability of the entire team to just punch holes. It also does well against offensive teams, articularly sun. Overall, this team is (in my opinion) very good.

Hey there, awesome team.

Really though, this team is so good that I can only think of two things that could be changed.

First, drop dragon claw for outrage on Kyurem-B, as without an adamant nature, fusion bolt and dragon claw miss the OHKO on some fighting type threats such as Infernape and Terrakion which threaten to OHKO it in return with STAB Close Combats. While being locked into a move can suck, being revenge killed sucks worse.

Second, Substitute does almost nothing good for you at all on whimsicott, and encore is extremely situational, so drop these two moves for leech seed and taunt. leech seed can help Kyurem-B break through a Cresselia, Porygon2, or Skarmory a little easier, and even heal off that LO recoil. While Leech Seed helps Kyurem-B a little, Taunt, on the other hand, helps your entire team a lot. Taunt does the same thing as substitute in stopping status moves (especially those pesky spores) and it stops another huge thing; Hazards. By using taunt to stop stealth rock and spikes users, you allow Kyurem-B to come in at full health, so that no bullet punches or mach punches will be able to stop it, and you also allow cloyster to retain it's sash, giving you an almost guaranteed shot at a second sweep once tailwind peters out.

Good luck with your team, and I hope to hear that my suggestions helped!
