Don't Be Scared
-Music-
-Intoduction-
Welcome to this RMT! This is a pretty cool team I've build recently and even though its doesn't have anything unique, it still gets its job done. This team is a Bulky Offense team and was based on Specs Magearna, which hits like a monster, the team also has two genies in Landorus and Thundurus, and the monster itself, Alolan Marowak. Directly from Ultra Space, we also have the beastly Pheromosa, and to finalize, the Princess of the Team, Tapu Fini. Without further ado, let's get into it:-Music-
-Intoduction-
-Teambuilding Process-
As I've said, Choice Specs Magearna is an amazing Wallbreaker and has an amazing typing in Fairy / Steel. Though Magearna has some noticeable weaknesses. Mainly Ground and Fire Types. I choose to add Landorus-Therian to cover those weaknesses.
Landorus-Therian has a crippling weakness to Water, which isn't covered by Magearna, also, the team was feeling quite slow, so I decided to add Thundurus-T. Thundurus appreciates the Rock-Types being checked by Landorus-T and can lure opposing Landorus with HP Ice, which at the moment were a huge weakness to the team.
With a huge Ice weakness, the team was screaming for something that could awnser those types. Also, Thundurus-T being weak to Stealth Rocks was really bothering me. I chose to add Tapu Fini, as it is a very potent special wall with offensive presence and can Defog any hazards for its teammates.
The team was looking way better after Tapu Fini, but I realised that Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Scarftran and Magnezone could easily deal with my team, at the same time, the team would have trouble breaking Pokemon like Scizor and Ferrothorn, so I added Alolan Marowak that can deal with all the mentioned Pokemon and still hits pretty hard with Thick Club
Once more the team was quite slow and I wanted to continue the Volt-Turn Core that was being formed by Magearna, Landorus-T and Thundurus-T. Pheromosa was the Pokemon that the team needed to fulfill its goals, now the team looks like this:
-In Depth Analysis-
Magearna
@ Choice Specs @
# Soul-Heart #
Fleur Cannon | Flash Cannon | Aura Sphere | Volt Switch
248 HP | 0- Atk | 252+ SpA | 4 SpD | 4 Spe
Magearna hits devastatengly hard with Fleur Cannon and Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere allows you hevaily damage Steel-Types that want to switch into Magearna, such as Magnezone and Ferrothorn, finally Volt Switch allows Magearna to pivot and provide a free switch-in to a partner, while at the same time luring Flying and Water Types such as Mantine and Celesteela that would otherwise wall Magearna.
Marowak-Alola
@ Thick Club @
# Lightning Rod #
Flare Blitz | Shadow Bone | Bonemerang | Will-O-Wisp
248 HP | 252+ Atk | 0- SpA | 4 SpD | 4 Spe
Alolan Marowak can check many of the Electric types running around OU, such as Tapu Koko, Xurkitree, Magnezone and others. If max attack Adamant, after Thick Club is factored in, this Pokemon has the equivalent of a base 209 Attack stat. Flare Blitz and Shadow Bone hit insanely hard, Bonemerang is a pretty good coverage that can deal with Pokemon like Heatran and Magnezone. Will-O-Wisp is always nice to have and can catch Lando-T or other Pokemon on the switch-in.
Tapu Fini
@ Leftovers @
# Misty Terrain #
Surf | Moonblast | Taunt | Defog
248 HP | 0- Atk | 4 Def | 252+ SpD | 4 Spe
Tapu Fini can stomach many hits thanks to its amazing typing and bulk, Surf and Moonblast are its main STABs and can damage opponents with its okay base 95 Special Attack. Taunt can prevent Pokemon like Clefable and Skarmory from recovering, Taunt can also stop opponents from setting-up and can prevent opposing Defoggers too. Finnally, Defog can remove the hazards from your side of the field, and as the team is quite weak to Stealth Rocks maintaining Fini healthy is vital.
Landorus Therian
@ Rocky Helmet @
# Intimdate #
Earthquake | Stone Edge | U-turn | Stealth Rock
252 HP | 212+ Def | 0- SpA | 28 SpD | 16 Spe
Landorus-T can use Intimdate and Rocky Helmet to punish physical attackers, Earthquake, even though uninvested, hits quite hard by Landorus-T's base 145 Attack. Stone Edge can help me deal with Flying Pokemon, U-turn can allow Landorus-T to act as a Pivot and help bring Pheromosa or Thundurus-T in, Stealth Rocks are used to punish switches, as this is a Volt-Turn team.
Thundurus Therian
@ Life Orb @
# Volt Absorb #
Volt Switch | Focus Blast | Sludge Wave | Hidden Power [Ice]
0- Atk | 252 SpA | 4 SpD | 252+ Spe
Thundurus-T has a nice Speed Tier as he can easily outspeed the crowded base 100 Speed Tier. Volt Switch is your main STAB and acts as a Volt-Turn component, Focus Blast wrecks Magnezones and Heatrans that think they're safe, Sludge Wave is nice for all those Tapus running around, Specially Bulu, as he doesn't take too much from Hidden Power, Finnaly, Hidden Power [Ice] allows Thundurus-T to smack Landorus-T, Zygarde and Garchomp.
Pheromosa
@ Life Orb @
# Beast Boost #
High Jump Kick | U-turn | Poison Jab | Ice Beam
252+ Atk | 4 SpA | 0- SpD | 252 Spe
Pheromosa can literally destroy anything on front of it that isn't a Ghost Type (with some exceptions obviously). High Jump Kick hits insanely hard, U-turn also deals tons of damage and allows me to gain momentum, Poison Jab wrecks any Fairy that wants to stay in on this monster and Ice Beam destroys Landorus-T, Zygarde and Garchomp
