First OU teams

Team Tier: OU







Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Waterfall
So, Swampert is my fav lead and for good reason. I never do with too strategic pokeman and i like
how i can simply use SR and start hammering away. It's also ideal for switching back into on
those dragons, it can take neutral hits from most and 2 hit Ko them with ice punch.

Dragonite (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Aqua Tail
- Fire Punch
- ExtremeSpeed
Nothing too fancy here. Aqua tail is here for fire coverage in case swampert faints. Outrage
2 hit Ko most stuff, extremspeed helps take out frail pokeman or stuff that is about to die.
Fire Punch takes care of Ferrothorn who I really hate.


Sizor (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Superpower

My pain switch in against psychic pokemans. Superpower can hurt lost of stuff and bullet punch
helps finsh off stuff.

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Aqua Tail

This is the first part of my combo. I really just need Tyranitar to set up Excadrill. It
basically cover up for what I felt I was lacking in my team. Water and Ice attacks for those
dragons and ground types that I don't like.

Rampage (Excadrill) (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 8 HP / 248 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide
- Brick Break

I know smogom doesn't allow Excadrill in OU. But the server I play does. This thing is beast
I have been in situation where it was my last pokemon and i took out six pokemon with it.
With Sand Stream in it's speed is almost untouchable and it basically kill lots of stuff.

Infernape (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Electric]

After trying various supports etc, I went with a special sweeper. Inferape helps me get out of
those tight spots. With choice specs, its fireblast even manages to kill other stuff in the
turn people switch in it. It even works against water types that switch into it. But it's really
frail.


My problem: like the situation that I am in ring, my team is all about attack and now matter
how hard I try I can't fit those walls, hazers, tanks etc. They just don't work for me but I
know that it makes me suffer against people who actually know what they are doing. I have been
only doing competetive battling sinc three day on discovery of this site and Pokemon Online. I
have palyed pokemon all my life since Silver but I haven't had anyone to fight etc with as I live
in Pakistan. All suggestions etc are welcome. Thanks in advance.
 
yeah ok, Excadrill is banned and he knows that, in fact he explicitly said that this team is not meant to be played in Smogon's metagame. Just post here if you're going to help him with the team.

@OP: please specify which pokemon are allowed in your metagame or you won't likely get proper rates.
 
Multiscale is better than inner focus on smite. Also, bug bite factoring in technician does more than x scissor does. (For scizor)
