First OU RMT

[TheAppetizer]

Hi! This is my first thread, so don't be too harsh on me okay? ;) Well, here it goes!



When I made this team, I wanted to use Pokemon I was capable of getting on my actual game and use it on real life, not just on Shoddy Battle.

Staraptor @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP

• Brave Bird
• Return
• Close Combat
• U-Turn

Why?
Staraptor is sort of like an anti-lead/revenge killer. 2HKOs Aerodactyl and really hurts Azelf with u-turn. Also gives Azelf a -1 explosion when Torterra switches in. Machamp gets OHKO'd by brave bird. Swampert is the only pokemon that it can't kill, but u-turning to Torterra takes care of that anyway.

Torterra @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Impish
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Def / 44 Spe

• Wood Hammer
• Earthquake
• Leech Seed
• Stealth Rock

Why?
Torterra's mostly there to set up SR. Leech seed promotes switching. He can still do some damage with his other moves though.

Magnezone @ Light Clay
Ability: Magnet Pull
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 162 SpD

• Reflect
• Light Screen
• Thunderbolt
• Explosion

Why?
Dual screens so Blaziken can sweep. Thunderbolt is so I don't have to explode when I'm taunted. It's pretty easy to set-up on Scarf Jirachi.

Blaziken @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Rash
EVs: 192 Atk / 252 SpA / 64 Spe

• Fire Blast
• HP Electric
• Superpower
• Agility

Why?
This is my main sweeper. It is really only walled by the dreaded Salamence that might take a permanent vacation. Blaziken is capable of killing 2 or 3 pokemon before he dies with dual screens. Superpower is mainly for Blissey and Heatran.

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA

• Rapid Spin
• Toxic
• Surf
• Ice Beam

Why?
Blastoise is my rapid spinner. He's mainly there so Staraptor can revenge kill effectively. He's also good at taking down walls with toxic and killing DD Salamence. (He's able to take a +2 earthquake)

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Nature: Careful
EVs: 244 HP / 28 Def / 236 SpD

• Rest
• Sleep Talk
• Body Slam
• Earthquake/Crunch

Why?
Snorlax is mostly used as a status absorber ad special wall. Still debating on wether to use crunch or earthquake. earthquake takes out rocks and steels, but makes me vulnerable to levitating ghosts. Crunch does the opposite.

Counters
Ghosts are my worst fear. Snorlax is my only counter to them if I'm using crunch, and if I'm not, I have to risk losing Staraptor to thunderbolt if I don't KO them with brave bird. Most ghosts know focus blast too, making it riskier to switch in Snorlax.
Salamance and Flygon wall me pretty well too. Blastoise's ice beam is usually enough to kill them though.
Thanks For Reading!
I appreciate you reading this! Please give me feedback on how well I did. I'm looking forward to reading you're responses!

P.S. Where do you guys get the sprite pics?

Please expand your descriptions, especially Torterra and Magnezone, as they're definitely not up to rule 3:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
