Ex-SOLDIER's Bulky Stallers (OU)

[Ex-SOLDIER]

Ok so as of late ive been wanting to use a team made up of really tough pokemon that can take at least more then 1 attack. I practiced using a lot of different pokemon, but i found this team to work exceptionally well.
If anyone can find any good replacements let me know i am always willing to try new things out.

AT A GLANCE:

MACHAMP

Type: FIGHTING
Item: Lum Berry
Ability: No Guard
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs:252HP/252Atk/6SpD
Moveset: Dynamic Punch
Payback
Bullet Punch
Substitute
​

Machamp is one of my most successful Leads I've ever used. If i play my Cards right i can get the score to 6-3 before my Machamp gets taken out. This set screws most almost every lead up in OU. Against Azelf, use payback (Azelf with max Sp Atk has a ~30% chance to OHKO Machamp with Psychic) and it will break Azelfs Focus sash and then use bullet punch to finish it before it can use Stealth Rocks. Against status leads like Roserade, Breloom, and Bronzong use Substitute first turn after lum activates they cannot status me anymore, and then show Machamps bulky power by crippling all pokemon with Dynamic Punch.
​

ROSERADE

Type: GRASS/POISON
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/136SpD/120Spe
Moveset: Spikes
Energy Ball
Hidden Power [FIRE]
Rest
​

Seeing as how some of my team could become in trouble from Toxic Spikes i decided to find a bulky pokemon that could absorb the spikes for me. The choice was between Roserade and Tentacruel. I liked Roserade because she has very helpful typing and a very large Special Attack stat to help take out other pokemon. Tentacruel has Rapid spin which was nice, but Tentacruel would be useless against Rotom forms seeing as how they are getting quite popular. I like to switch Roserade around to keep my opponent switching pokemon, and i use Spikes any time i get the opportunity to. Rest is helpful to get full HP and switch her out to wake up.
​

HEATRAN

Type: FIRE/STEEL
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs:6HP/252SpA/252Spe
Moveset: Fire Blast
Earthpower
Substitute
Toxic
​

Heatrans are always my first choice for bulky sweepers. Heatran has such amazing typing combined with an amazing ability. I love abusing Heatrans sterotype of having a Choice Scarf equipped and substitute when i predict my opponent switching. This set is very reliable as i always set up my substitute and chip away at my opponent. I usually switch Heatran in on Scizor, SKarmory and forretress because i predict my opponent will switch to a counter right away.

​

ROTOM

Type: ELETRIC/GHOST
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
Evs:252HP/180Def/76SpD
Moveset: Discharge
Air Slash
Hidden Power [ICE]
Confuse Ray
​

I decided to try out a Rotom form but wasnt happy with what Smogon had listed on their sets for this pokemon. The only set that appealed to me was the "Annoying Set". Their set had a really strange EV spread, for instance the set was Modest with HP Spe and SpA EVs, when i think that an Annoyer should be focused more on survivability. So i altered the EV spread to this. This pokemon has been a lot of fun to use thanks to all the luck ive been getting with paralysis and confusion. Sadly though i get a lot of DC's when i use this pokemon.
​

JIRACHI

Type: PSYCHIC/STEEL
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Impish (+Def, -SpA)
EVs:240HP/160Def/76SpD/32Spe
Moveset: Body Slam
Iron Head
Wish
U-Turn
​

Awww good old Jirachi, always reliable when in time of need. He makes a really good Dragon stopper. Jirachi loves to show his face against Outraging Salamences and Draco Meteoring Choice Latias. Seeing as there is always one of those in someones team jirachi gets put to use very often. Unfortunately again i also see many DCs when using this Jirachi.
​

VAPOREON

Type: WATER
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs:188HP/252Def/68SpD
Moveset: Surf
Heal Bell
Protect
Wish
​

Thanks to HG and SS Vaporeon has been given a support move which makes it a very vital asset to a team. With both Wish and Heal bell vaporeon makes sure my whole team is ready to fight. Veporeon was very appealing to me because i rely alot on my Heatran and Jirachi and Rotom and Vaporeon helps all those pokemon out in its own way.


Thats for reading about my Team if you have any suggestions just post a reply and thank you.

this team is very interesting but the main problem i see is any team with blissey. 5 pokemon are special attackers or attackers that cant do much to blissey (your jirachi).

ill give it a 4/10 i dont like the use of 5 special non boosting attackers. You should use the calm mind jirachi set and switch out roserade for something with a little more middle game merit like metagross,gyarados or tyranitar or even a gliscor.
