Fragility and Sweeping [Functions best in OU/UU]

[Mushroom Of Doom]

[Preface] Let me just start by saying that I understand this team is fairly frail (aside from Deoxys-D). I also realise that Feraligator's DW ability hasn't been realesed yet. I know that this team might seem a little "Noobish". This team has been tested in Pokemon Online and has been undefeted since then. I also must mention that this team can compete with OU teams with a high sucess rate.

[Overview] This was made for killing the opponent ASAP. Most of the pokemon on here are made for fast and hard-hitting attacks, that either cripple, or OHKO the oppponent. If you haven't noticed by now, there are no walls besides Deoxys-D. This is to enshure maximum sweeping potential. Now on to the Nitty-Gritty

Deoxys-D
Leftovers
Jolly
252 HP 252 SPE 4 DEF
-Magic Coat
-Taunt
-Spikes
-Night Shade
[Description] With a little bit of prediction, Deoxys-D can go a long way.
Maximum speed EV's are a neccessity becasue it is vitally important that this blob of D.N.A sets up 1~2 layers of Spikes. Magic Coat is one of my favorite moves because it can reflect all sorts of things, noteably other entry hazards, which is why I don't run SR. Night Shade is for the rare chance that Deoxys finishes setting up. I really see no flaws in him becasue he can take a STAB megahorn from a heracross, and procede to set up another layer of Spikes.

Arcanine [Flash Fire]
Life Orb
Jolly
252 ATK 252 SPE 4 HP
-Flare Blitz
-Close Combat
-Wild Charge
-Extremespeed
[Description] Arcanine is my favorite switch-in, becasue of his reasonable bulk, and the added ability of Flash Fire. Max SPE and ATK EV's are a worthwile investment becuse Archanine can OHKO Machamps, Conkeldurrs, and just about any other [fairly] bulky pokemon with an unboosted Flare Blitz. He also makes a great revenge killer with Extremespeed.

Sawk [Sturdy]
Fight Gem
Jolly
252 ATk 252 SPE 4 HP
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Taunt
[Description] This is one of my most [suprisingly] reliable pokemon. He can OHKO Chanseys, Blisseys, Snorlaxes, and just about any bulky normal type or any fairly bulky pokemon with his boosted Close Combat. Sturdy is to give this little guy one last move. I used Sturdy over Mold-Breaker because it gives Sawk a little more reliability. Taunt is for any set-up sweepers or entry hazerders (lol). Stone Edge and Earthquake give perfect coverage to Sawk.

Archeops
Flight Gem
Jolly
252 ATK 252 SPE 4 HP
-Acrobatics
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-U-Turn
[Description] Archeops is a "High risk high return" sort of deal. He has massive ATK and monsterous SPE, and a great movepool to back it all up. The only item I saw fit to give him was Flight Gem, due to the fact that acrobatics gets a sexy boost when Archeops isn't holding an item.
The lovely combo of Stone Edge and Earthquake give him perfect neutral coverage. U-Turn is to keep him alive, and to damge the foe in the process.

Feraligator [Sheer Force [Unrealesed] ]
Life Orb
Jolly
252 ATK 252 SPE 4 HP
-Dragon Dance
-Ice Fang
-Waterfall
-Earthquake

[Description] Often called the Gyarados of UU, and for a good reason. But our little gator has one thing Gyarados doesn't the ability Sheer Force. With Sheer Force+Life Orb+Dragon Dance+Stab, Fera becomes a wrecking ball on the battlefield. Sheer Force also grants Fera an immunity from Life Orb, unless he is using Earthquake.

Sceptile
Life Orb
252 ATK 252 SPE 4 HP
-Focus Blast
-Leaf Storm
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Dragon Pulse

[Description] Lets face it, Sceptile has a great moveset. HIs STAB leaf storms take out almost anything in his path. Hidden Power Ice rips through dragons like a hot knife through butter. Sadley though, Chandelure with shadow tag gives him hell. Though Sceptile makes great bait for Arcanine switch ins.

Please rate/Fix my team. I just want to say that I know Fera's DW ability hasn't been realesed yet, and that this team is also "Noobish", I also fully aknowlage that this team is frail, and has no walls.

Your team likes to sweep teams down and wall break walls immediately. However, u lack a way to prevent your self from being sweeped and stelth rock, in uu, Victreebell can take advantage of the sun get a growth off and Ohko every thing (with the exception of sawk if he's at full hp sturdy, and deoxys-d but that's set up fodder) in ou excadril in sandstorm does the samething. ABout stealth rock... magic coat and taunt are kind of redundant youll taunt to prevent stealth rock but then you wont magic coat... you magic coat hazards but the you taunt to stop them from coming again... if they predict the taunt and send in anything with magic mirror it allows free turns.
And im not sure but doesn't the team need more descriptions?
In order to remedy weather i reccomend lickilicky as his ability removes weather and in that time he can knock off the opponents item, explode :D (its still strong because of stab), or attack.

 

[HonchkrowPimp]

Actually vulpix was banned, so thats not really a problem with this team. My problem with this team is that you use taunt AND mirror coat on deo. Rating: 6/10

 

[Rakan]

Actually, stab megahorn from hera always ohkos deo-d iirc, can someone provide calcs? Also, I recommend stealth rock over taunt or magic coat as having both is rather redundant.

 

[Foxy Grandpa]

Jolly Max Attack Hera vs. 252 HP 0 def Deoxys D Megahorn does 257-302 damage
just shy of an OHKO before rocks. Deoxys Hp reaches 304

 

[blaziken662]

Well, as Deoxys-D is your only wall then you should consider drop either Taunt or Magic Coat in favor or Recover, as it gives him more staying power.

I'm a fan of using Archeops and Arcanine too, but without a Rapid Spinner they can become dead weight for the team pretty soon, as Archeops becomes useless as a sweeper at >50% HP and Arcanine just kills itself in 2-3 turns because or recoil, not to mention that Sawk would like to keep it's Sturdy active as a last resort to revenge kill something, so you can swap your currently unreleased Feraligatr with a Blastoise, so you can keep a FWG core and provide some support to your sweepers.

On your Sceptile, you could try the Acrobatics + Unburden combo, to try and pull off a sweep.
I would also try to find room for Giga Drain, which could increase your survivability.
