ORAS OU Defensive Core : Scizor M - Tyranitar

[LameAstrale]

Hi! This is my favourite team, I built it yesterday and I've win 17 fights for only 1 fight loose.
I asked someone to tell me a pokemon, he answered me "Scizor M". So, I've decided to build around it.

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 20 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Def / 24 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- U-turn
- Roost


I choose a bulky set because I think Scizor isn't rather bulky without this set : He have much threats, such as conkeldurr, Tyranitar, Lando T... and special sweepers.
24 EVs Speed to outspeed Heatran. 20 EVs HP to make more recovery on roost
I choose Pursuit because it makes apocaliptical damage on Psychic or Ghost pokemons. It can also kill many dommaged pokemon who will switch. So, I prefer Pursuit than Knock Off.
U turn to switch after taking some damage.
Bullet Punch for priority move.

Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 8 HP / 248 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Ice Punch
- Pursuit
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake


After a physical wall, I need a special wall who resist at fire. I choose Tyranitar because it can resist at a Kazam's focus blast (55% - 65%). It can surprise and kill some special sweepers. Pursuit for all ghost or psychic special sweepers like Gengar, Espeon, Lati@s...
Ice Punch for Lando-T, Garchomp, Dragonite and Scorvol.
Rock Slide for the STAB and to kill Talonflame.
Earthquake for Heatran.

Gengar @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hex
- Disable
- Will-O-Wisp
- Substitute


I choose Gengar because of its fighting type immunity.
I’ve try that moveset with this team. I thought I’ll have to change it, but it surprised me! (and it will surprise your opponents)
Substitute prevents all status effects.
Disable after a substitute to stop the opponent pokemon
WoW to burn and tear down physical sweepers.
Hex to damage the opponent.

Tornadus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- Knock Off
- U-turn


I need a pivot and Tornadus-T seems good at it, thanks to its ability.
Knock Off can destroy the opponent’s item. Chansey and its Eviolite are my principal target.
Heat Wave to kill Scizor and Ferro.
Hurricane is an excellent stabbed move.

Volcanion @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Steam Eruption
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Earth Power

I already have a pivot, a WoWer and two walls who are also physical sweepers, I need a special sweeper. I want one who resist at fire moves. So, I choose Volcanion. Thanks to its signature move, it deals a lot of damage and it can burn the target.
Fire Blast for all grass and steel pokemon.
Sludge Bomb to hit Fairies and Earth Power to hit other Volcanion.

Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Defog
- Psyshock
- Surf


With two X2 rock in my team, I need a defogger. I choose Latios, who is a really good defogger and also a good special sweeper.
Surf to hit Heatran and rock pokemon.
Psyshock to hit M Venusaur and fight pokemon with AV, such as Conkeldurr, Mienshao or Machamp.

hi there. cool team.

the first thing i notice with your team is a lack of a wincon. a wincon is pretty much vital on most teams, as it allows you to actually break past bulky and defensive cores and take advantage of the passivity of said defensive cores. to provide your team with a wincon, by using swords dance over pursuit on mega scizor, your team gets a wincon, which will be really helpful to help mega scizor sweep. i think pursuit is the most replaceable move here, as you're already running it on ttar and the other moves on mega scizor are more or less mandatory.

secondly, i honestly do not like choice scarf volcanion, it's really weak and it is still outsped by a lot of pokemon so it's not really benefiting your team. instead, i think going for choice specs would be a nice option; the extra damage output is really useful and since volc is gonna be spamming steam eruption most of the time, it's a great way to spread burns and wear down the opposing team.

finally, i'd go for roost over surf on latios, as it really needs the recovery and fire-types aren't that big of a problem, since you have ttar and volcanion to deal with. furthermore, latios gets worn down really easily without recovery and it can easily be exploited due to this.

as a side note, i think you should consider running superpower on scizor; your scizor spread allows it to outspeed heatran, though it can't even touch it, so this is definitely something to consider.

try out these changes and see how they go. good luck :)
