Hello, My names Melic and I just recently started playing Pokemon competitively on the online simulator. So I want some feed back on the first OU team I created.
As you can tell for the title, the main "gimmick" of this this team is the fact it contains an offensive and defensive core
Offensive core
Hydreigon experimental bulky-mixed-wall breaking hydreigon
expert belt-for extra damage an to compensate for less special attack evs
Mild-+Satk -Def
work up-used for a quick boost after forcing a switch
dragon pulse-standard STAB
fire blast-coverage move
superpower-takes out blissy and heatran
252 Hp-I increased his Hp in order to take hits.
4 Satk- plan to use work up to compensate for less Special attack evs
252 Spe-max speed
-This is a unique set that I am experimenting with. It is basically a bulky-mixed-wall breaking hydreigon. The play style of this pokemon is to force a Pokemon out, take a hit, work up, then fight back
Infernape standard choice band infernape (using iron fist)
choice band-self explanatory
jolly- to out speed the musketeers
flare blitz-STAB
close combat-STAB
mach punch- priority move to pick off weaken Pokemons
u-turn-scouting
252 Atk-max attack
4 Hp-leftover evs
252 Spe-max speed
Starmie scarfed revenge killer with support
choice scarf-used to revenge kill +1 speed sweepers and scarfed Pokemon
modest-+Satk -Atk
rapid spin-used to clear entry hazards and bluff a support set
thunderblot-BoltBeam combo
ice beam-BoltBeam combo
hydro pump-STAB
252 Satk-max special attack
4 Hp-left over evs
252 Spe-max speed
-consider replacing rapid spin with trick
Defensive core
Ferrothorn anti-rain, Special wall, stealth rocker
leftover-to heal
relaxed-to sponge special hits better
power whip-damage
thunder wave-to stop sweepers
stealth rocks-self explanatory
protect-scouting
252 Hp-Max hp
168 Sdef-to take on most special hits
88 Def-to take on most physical hits
-consider replacing leftovers with shed shell
Gyarados phazer, special tank, anti-sun, taunter (using intimidate)
leftovers-to heal
careful-tank special hits
Dragon tail-phaze move
water fall-STAB
taunt-to stop Pokemon from setting up
stone edge-Coverage
252 Sdef-max special defense
248 Hp-almost max Hp
8 Spe-to out speed base 80 speeds
-consider replacing stone edge with roost
Gliscor physical-wall, stall breaker
toxic orb-to activate poison point
impish-to boost defense
earthquake-STAB
protect-stall
substitute-stall
toxic-residual damage
252 Hp-max hp
184 Def-some defense
72 Sdef- to take some hidden power ices
Strengths
-this team is very adaptable, considering you can switch between offensive and defensive play styles
-I am able to revenge kill most common OU sweepers such as dragonite and terrikon pretty well with scarfed starmie
-Ferrothorn and Gyarados can wall most rain sweepers
-Gliscor and starmie counters sand storm (theoretically)
-Gyarados and infernape counters sun (theoretically)
Weaknesses
-due to how specialized each of my pokemon are, losing even one early game can really screw me over
-I had trouble with substitute, bulk up/calm mind/dragon dance sets
-This team requires further testing because I only played about a dozen games with it
Thank you for read
