First OU Team (Slaakkiinggg)

[llama.101]

Hey this is my first competitive team so dont be too harsh =P. Slaking is my fav so im not gonna get rid of it.

Swampert (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Stealth Rock

Swampert is a great lead. I get down stealth rock most times, and it is also great for taking attacks. Ice Beam is great for countering dragons, and surf is a great STAB attack. Earthquake can take out Infernape and many other common leads.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Brick Break
- U-turn

The standard SD Scizor set. This guy is awesome. One SD and he can sweep through heaps. He's saved me manyatime.

Slaking (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Truant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Return
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Thunderpunch

Despite only being able to move once every two turns, Slaking is a BEAST. Godlike attack stats. With Choice Band Return OHKOs ANYTHING that doesn't resist. Slaking forces a lot of switches so Pursuit covers that. Thunderpunch for bulky waters and Earthquake coz it is.

---

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot

I just replace my Machamp with this guy and i'm loving him. Nasty Plot if i force a switch and then STAB Fire Blast is unstoppable. Grass Knot is for any water counters they may use and Close Combat is a great option for Blissey or any other Special Walls.

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Moonlight
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave

Cresselia is a great defensive supporter. Reflect is incredibly handy and if Cress is ever in trouble, i've got moonlight. Ice Beam is a good move and Thunder Wave is great to stop a sweep.

---

Weavile (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Brick Break
- Night Slash

Weavile is my main counter to Ghosts. I had a Gengar problem (Scizor countered it but i needed more) and Weavile is excellent. It outspeeds all ghosts in OU and OHKOs most with night slash.

Yeah so please ratteee

anyone?

 

[Tsubasa-kun]

Swamp needs leftovers. He's a bulky lead.

on infernape, put the standart mix ape set. it's better than NP Ape, imo.

besides, improve your descriptions and see the rules for the RMT section.

 

[Gorgonopsid Master]

wow ever since I posted my slaking team a lot of people have been using them on their teams. Anyway a rate

Infernape is good however I use a NPApe and IMO mixape>NPApe as you get better type coverage but if I were you id use the Swords Dance set because you already have loads of ice attacks on your team

 

[agiyr]

I am not going to do a compleate rate, but I strongly suggest have you switch your SD Scizor to a SD Lucario. It is really hard to setup with scizor, and even if you do, you are walled by a lot of pokemon. If you really want to keep Scizor, use the choice banded one.

 

[Ulver]

This team actually looks pretty good. With Weavile and Slaking your opponent will get a lot of set ups but Cresselia does pretty good to help with that. If you can keep it alive and in health things should work out most of the time.
