SM OU [Gen 7] OU Team

[nightcrawl47]

I am quite new at this so please do not be too harsh but please give the best advice you can give though. I am quite new to this. So here is my team:

Araquanid @ Assault Vest
Ability: Water Bubble
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Leech Life
- Poison Jab
- Crunch

I picked Araquanid because I feel it hits pretty hard, with the move leech life would best for a little recovery. Liquidation is stab along with it being physical for this amazing pokemon and then poison jab and Crunch are there for physical coverage. Now for the assault vest, since it already has decent Special Defense, I wanted it to boost it even more, since it won't have any status moves to use very much. Also araquanid does not seem to have very much coverage in moves so I thought these would be the best moves.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Cute Charm
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Protect
- Thunder Wave
- Flamethrower
- Wish

This will be my specially defensive wall. I will tell you protect is there for my wish then thunder wave is there for my status helper then I thought it needed one move at least so I put flamethrower on it for someone like scizor. I put leftovers on it for even more stalling out. Finally the cute charm part is a little questionable for me my mind set was if they made contact then there was a chance for them to become immobalized by love.

Nihilego @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Power Gem
- Sludge Bomb
- Stealth Rock

This one is like a lead I think. I am not to sure on that but anyways dazzling gleam is there for help like dragons. Then like power gem is there for stab and pesky flying types. Sludge bomb is also there for stab and some coverage for fairy types. I felt the life orb would help out it's great attack stat.

Kommo-o @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Focus Blast
- Flash Cannon
- Flamethrower

I did choice scarf on this one because I felt I needed a faster pokemon on this team. All these moves I felt were good coverage for it. Then for it's ability I felt like I am not sure about this one. This one and another pokemon I will talk about later are a little iffy on their stats for competitive battling.

Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Hammer Arm

This set is the other one I am a little iffy on, that is because I am not huge on metagross in general. But if all in all if I need it I will use it. Anyways what I thought I was doing is since mega metagross is a monster I would use it with it's great stats. Then for it's clear body ability I used it because so it does not reduce these really good stats. I used these moves as good coverage then with bullet punch besides coverage it is stab and priority.

Bastiodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Iron Head
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Metal Burst

Finally Bastiodon will be my physical defensive wall. I decided to give it sturdy incase it gets one shot by and unexpected earthquake. Then for it's moves since it is bulky toxic will help give it to a pokemon then I also gave it taunt for those pokemon trying to set up so it can kill it. Then for ones with that evil sneaky earthquake I will give them some Metal burst. Finally I honestly just added iron head because I did not know what to add to it.
