ORAS OU First OU Team - Mega Tyranitar

[Thomas Gregory]

THE TEAM​

Hello, as I said this is my first OU team. The team has done pretty well up to this point; however, Im looking to improve it so here it goes.

Tyranitar-Mega @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Ice Punch
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake

• I chose not to use stone-edge due to it's inconsistency.

• Tyranitar is mainly used to sweep mid-game. Normally I switch into a Pokemon will resist and force the opponent to switch. While he switches I use Dragon Dance, then sweep.
• Crunch is normally used as a strong STAB to do neutral damage on things such as Rotom-Wash if I have set-up and don't want to switch out.
• Ice Punch normally throws the opponent off guard after a KO to something like a Landorus or Gliscor.
• Earthquake is just a necessary move with amazing power and accuracy.

Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Icy Wind
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Flying]

• Keldeo normally wreaks havic for the opponent. With his great speed I only saw a few threats that would annihilate him: Tallonflame and Latias/Latios. For this reason I chose Choice Specs instead of Choice Scarf.
• Icy Wind is surprisingly Keldeo's only Attack other than hidden power; however it does have a 100% chance to lower speed.
• Hydro Pump hits almost any Pokemon insanely hard. The only problem is it sometimes lets me down by missing and allowing for the target to get a free move off and sometimes killing him.
• Secret Sword is cool because it uses Keldeo's Special Attack Stat, but hits the defensive stat of the foe hitting specially defensive Pokemon hard such as the Chansey.
• Hidden Power Flying allows me to hit other fighting. I chose Flying since HP Electric is only really used for Talonflame who will just Brave Bird him to death.

Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 24 Def / 232 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- U-turn

• Landorus out speeds nearly every non-scarfer in the whole meta and with insane attack he is extemely dangerous.
• Earthquake is just a mandatory for Landorus.
• Stone Edge still is not very reliable, but would rather see my Landorus sacked than my Mega.
• Knock Off is used as a powerful attack that will obviously "Knock Off" the targets item and sometimes screws up the opponents team.
• U-turn is to clearly used to get out of there.

Sylveon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Calm Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Toxic

• I have been having trouble with status moves and I wanted some bulk in my team so I added Sylveon to solve this.
• Hyper Voice can hit through substitutes so it deals with Gliscor plus Pixilate makes it really strong.
• Wish is Sylveon's on healing move sadly
• Heal Bell Solves the Status issue.
• Toxic is to place a status on the opponent.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Def / 24 Spe
Bold Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Defog

• Thunderbolt is a move on nearly every Zapdos
• Roost is there for recovery
• Heat Wave for coverage
• Defog to clear the field of entry hazards

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Toxic

• I'm not sure if I want to switch him to a fire type physical attacker or not
• Stealth Rocks for entry damage.
• Earth Power is a great move for coverage.
• Lava Plume for a fire move.

DD Tyranitar should be Jolly.

Jolly max speed Tyranitar allows you to revenge kill Adamant Bisharp pre-MEvo, Adamant does not. Jolly max speed M-Tyranitar @ +2 Spe beats Jolly ScarfChomp. +2 Spe Adamant M-Tyranitar is still outsped and killed by Jolly ScarfChomp.

Welcome to Smogon. What are you talking about u-turn is meant for switch on the turn it comes in replace it with superpower. dragon pulse is terrible replace it with ancient power, its to hit talonflame and megazard-y. Air balloon is not the best item for magnezone replace it with choice specs and its fine. Leftovers is better on slyveon because its a medic and it needs to heal its self. You have 2 pokemon that are scarfed and they could be Stealth Rockers choose one of them to be a SRer. I recommend Landorus-t.

The only reason I said that was because he was scarfed and he is locked into a move I would not be able to u-turn, but I see your coming from. If I make Landorus a stealth rocker should I make him more defensive

A Sand Rush Excadrill can destroy u after the defeat of lando-t, even lando-t can't really ohko ball on excadrill which can probably 4-3 hko lando-t with iron head after the attack is decreased , maybe u need to do a few changes like putting a stealth rock setter and defogger/spinner in your team, also magnet rise isn't that good on magnezone, your team don't neeed that scarfed heatran special defensive heatran is fine. You need to add a spinner or defogger in my opinion Excadrill(sand rush) is the best spinner for your team,latios is good for defog but u really need a excadrill counter like Chesnaught. You can put zapdos in the place of Magnezone. That's all what I think, I am not forcing to do these changes. Change it if u want to change.

Good luck for battles.
