Favourite OU pokes!

[mmccann]

Hey there! I tried making a few teams in the past, mostly all weather teams but none of them really seemed to do that well so I gave up and decided to just make a team of my favourite pokes! haha
Team has actually been doing really well, I win about 5/6 battles but I want to improve so I'm asking for your help!

Rotom-Wash @choice scarf
252SAtt, 252Spd, 4Sdef (modest)
-trick
-hydro pump
-volt switch
-pain split

Usually my lead since where i just volt switch out or trick! Trick is not that common these days but it should be used much more often I think! So many times i have crippled opponents such as ferrothorn, gliscor and reuniclus with the trick and it pays off so much! hydropump and volt switch are there as two stab moves and helps momentum. Pain split is my form of recovery. My only problem with Rotom-Wash is that maybe he is too frail...but im not sure what EV spread to use

Scizor @choice band
252Att, 248HP, 8 Sdef (adamant)
-U turn
-bullet punch
-superpower
-pursuit
My big hitter, choice band scizor is a boss! U-turn is there to help keep momentum and works great with rotom-wash. bullet punch is priority stab and not many things can take it well. Superpower is to hit any predicted steal type switch ins hard! pursuit works great to switch in on psychic types. Easily takes out starmie, latios and celebi.

Heatran @leftovers
-247HP, 252Sdef, 9Spe (Calm)
-stealth rocks
-lava plume
-earth power
-roar
My special wall and stealth rocker. Is a great check to many things like most dragon types, that annoying volcarona and generally other fire types. I usually get the switch in pretty easy and always bring him in to take fire moves aimed at scizor and get the flash fire boost. Earthpower is coverage and lava plume is stab. Roar is there to get rid of any batton passers and anything that thinks it can set up.

Gliscor @toxic orb
252HP, 184Def, 72Spe (impish)
-toxic
-taunt
-protect
-earthquake
My physical wall. Is a great check to most things and a great switch in to things that try EQ heatran. toxic is there to get some residual damage on the opponent. Protect is to scout and recover some HP. Taunt stops people from setting up on me, and also great for things like ferrothorns and skarmorys. EQ is there as stab

Latios @choice specs
4HP, 252SAtt, 252Spe (timid)
-draco meteor
-hidden power fire
-surf
-psyshock
This guy goes massive damage to anything that tries to switch in to a draco! He also acts as my dragon killer since he outspeeds everything else without a scarf! HP fire is there to take out scizors that try to switch in. Surf is coverage and psyshock is my second stab move. I'm pretty happy with him and every opponent fears the draco meteor! Also chosen because of his ability levitate, helps me switch in to something that trys to EQ heatran which is suprising often!



Conkeldurr @leftovers
120HP, 252Att, 136Sdef (adamant)
-bulk up
-drain punch
-ice punch
-mach punch
This guy is kind of my status absorber. After bulk up and a guts boost means he is seriously dangerous! swept with him a few times! mach punch is there as priority stab and is a great second revenge killer to scizor. Ice punch is there as coverage and drain punch is stab and recovery. I've KOed a ferrothorn before with one drain punch before! (not sure on its ev spread but still ferrothorn is bulky!)

Well thats my team! My main problems are with things that take out my heatran then ive too many weaknesses...any suggestions at all are very appreciated! :D

Very thorough Team. I have two ideas.

Why not make conkeldurr have a Brave nature rather than be adamant? He's already slow enough. A trick room team with snail-speed pokemon can become incredibly dangerous. Conkeldurr might be able to stop them long enough to return move turn order back to normal.

Also, since you have scizor, conkeldurr(And sorta gliscor?), why do you run psyshock on latios? You can do a lot more with psychic especially with choice specs. I guess you run psyshock in cases that latios is the only one left and a blissey or other special wall shows up. Why have HP fire when you have heatran? Maybe add some attack EVs to heatran as teach it explosion as a surprise? Kinda gimmicky, but no person using a blissey would think about switching on a heatran. Suddenly... Magma Lizard explodes!

You don't have to listen to me. These are my ideas. I'm sort of a rookie.

I highly recommend changing Conk's spread on the Effort Values to Max Special Defense and HP, this let's it set up much more easily. Run Trick over either Surf or Hidden Power Fire (HP Fire should stay most likely), as Ferrothorn could be a pain to this team, if Heatran is dead. Fix Heatran's Effort Values to 248 HP and 8 Speed, as you're wasting that one Effort Value in Speed for no reason.

I agree with Brave > Adamant Conkeldurr.
I do not agree with Psychic Latios. Latios is fine as it is. Could fit in a Trick over Surf. But that's not very necessary with Trick Rotom.

Use SpeDef Conkeldurr. He tanks more hits and sets up more easily.

Also, Pain Split is a bad move on a Scarfer. Consider replacing it with Hidden Power Ice or secondary Electric STAB in T-bolt.

I never said Psyshock was bad. It is just that from the way Lati@s was acting as a special truck that you would you a stronger special move..
