Gen 4 [DPP Gen 4 OU] RTM. Hazards Stack HO with SD Sky Attack Gliscor (?)

[Hans Bloodsmith]

I'll prefix this by saying I'm a complete noob when it comes to competitive and only a casual when it comes to Pokémon. That said, I tried to dip my toes in since I find the old Gen Meta interesting, and this is the first "proper" team I tried to come up with on my own. Sort of. It's basically a hyper offense team (I know, how unique).

Asura (Tyranitar) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
- Superpower

First, of course, the t-tar. I like using Scarf because, well, it's either immediately set up with rocks and used later as a pursuit trapper, or when faced with a suicide lead, it immediately kills any lead Azelf that tries to taunt it with a crunch + sand chip. Superpower is mostly there to fight other T-tar and occasionally get a kill on an already chipped Heatran or Blissey. I'm thinking of either using superpower or EQ, but the former has been working fine enough for me. It's also help trapping mon like Starmie, Rotoms, Latis, and Gengar, to open door for my sweepers.

Robyn (Skarmory) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird

Next is, of course, the spiker. And I've gone with specially defensive Skarms because they're just so bulky. It can live a surprise attack from the likes of Fireblast Dragonite or T-tar, or a T-bolt from Jirachi. And even in the event of a Magnezone trapping it, Skarmory can take enough hits to either phase the Magnet Pull Pokemon out or set up another layer of spikes.

Bishop (Scizor) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch

Standard hyper offense bread and butter in LO Sword Dance Scizor. The standard sweeper comes in after most of the opponents have already chipped or damaged. Pursuit for Latias or Choice lock Ghosts.

Tyrian (Gliscor) (M) @ Power Herb
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Sky Attack

Another sweeper and late-game cleaner in SD Gliscor. I've been really loving the Power Herb Sky Attack combo since it just gives a jump on Pokemon like Gyarados, Suicune, or Swampert who thought they had a free switch on Gliscor. The extra flinch chance are nice too. Ice Fang for the dragons of course.

Nyx (Mismagius) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 32 HP / 252 SpA / 224 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 3 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 30 Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Thunderbolt

My spinblocker—originally I was using Gengar, but I dislike how fragile it is. While Mismagius is more specially defensive and bulky and can even take an attack from Starmie and hit it back. Nasty Plot for setting up on a switch, and HP Fighting to chip T-tar, since it can live two pursuits. T-bolt for Skarmory and Gyarados.

Virgil (Kingdra) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Dragon Pulse
- Surf

And finally, the utility and wall puncher. Choice Specs Kingdra just shits so hard. It can come in on so many Pokémon safely and just wreak havoc on anything that stays in or gets in. Only water and dragon attacks since, well, they hit everything for huge damage, so Kingdra doesn't really need coverage.

Let me know how I did and how can I improve as a player. What mon should I replace what move should I exchange thank you in advance.

Feels like you needs a Scarf Rotom (Wash) to apply speed control, I recommend:
Rotom Wash:
-Thunderbolt
-HP Ice
-Hydro Pump/Shadow Ball
-Trick
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Another change would be making Skarm more offensive, taking a more aggressive hazard offense given how more offense leaning this team is. So perhaps:

Skarmory
Item: Focus Sash
252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
-Icy Wind
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt

I do like Tyranitar on this team, an All Purpose Tar with Chople (Or Passho, maybe Lum) can do the trick for trapping purposes & better matchup against Clefable. Gyarados also makes a fantastic partner on this team as well, I also think you need Heatran as a Jirachi check & more Fire coverage against Steels such as Bronzong or Skarmory. Having 2 pursuit users is a bit excessive, this is overall an interesting team that could use a more offensive, proactive lean.
