going all out offencive

[ragazzo]

I don't really know what to put here. It's a wheatherless offencive team that has works well for me, but inprovement is always great. So if anyone has an idea, please let me know!

Garchomp @ Focus Sash
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast

Garchomp is my lead and with focus sash it is pretty much guaranteed to set up stealth rock. The other moves give him something to do after it has put op the rocks. Outrage, Earthquake and fire blast give him great covarage so it can usualy deal some solid damage too. Sometimes I attack first and put up stealth rock later, it depends on the situation.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse

Heatran forces a lot of switches and can thus use substitute very well. Fire blast deals a lot of damage and earth power goes great with it. I used dragon pulse over hidden power ice because it hits rotom-w harder and it still kills dragons. Also with dragon pulse heatran outspeeds heatran having hidden power ice and KO it with earth power.

Keldeo @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Surf
- Secret Sword

Just like heatran keldeo can set up substitute easily and hopefully nap a few boosts. After that not much can stop it (except for jellicent obviously). Keldeo is best used late game after its counters have been removed.

Mamoswine @ Expert Belt
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Spear
- Earthquake
- Superpower

Mamoswine can deal a lot of damage to a lot of pokemon. Ice shard is for dragons and weakened pokemon. I went for icicle spear over icicle crach because the los of power is not that much and being able to break substitutes can be very handy. I don't like life orb and since mamoswine will usely deal super-effective damage expert belt works just fine.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 248 HP / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit

Yes, it is choice band scizor and yes, there is absolutely nothing original about it. But nobody needs originality with this. Revenge killing with bullet punch, keeping momentum whit u-turn. It just works.

Latios (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Surf
- Psyshock
- Thunderbolt

While mamoswine and scizor can revenge kill specific threats, latios is my main revenge killer. It outspeeds pretty much everything (even modest venusaur in the sun). I used dragon pulse over draco meteor because revenge killing means the oposing pokemon is hopefully weakened and then dragon pulse should be enough and let it posibly sweep late game. I didn't use hidden power fire because defencive steel types don't need to be revenge killed and offencive steel types don't like a surf.

Thanks for the read and thanks for your time!

Hey man nice team.

You have a very interesting team here, with great use of an underrated threat in Sub + CM Keldeo, so huge props for that. However, there are some large flaws that I see, so hopefully my rate will not only fix those flaws, but help improve this team and reach its full potential. With that said, let's get to the rate! Alright, first and most importantly, I would highly recommend running a Focus Sash Terrakion over your current choice of Garchomp. Focus Sash Terrakion is an excellent choice for setting up Stealth Rock, as it forces many switches with it's amazing dual STABs. Moving forward, I would like to recommend using a Life Orb over your current choice of an Expert Belt on your Mamoswine. When equipped with a Life Orb, Mamoswines STAB moves will do 1.3x the damage they'd normally do without it, at the cost of some HP however. Also on Mamoswine, I would like to advocate the use of a Jolly Nature over your current Adamant Nature. With a Jolly Nature, you are able to outspeed an KO opposing Timid Heatran and Adamant SD Lucario with a boosted STAB Earthquake. Finally, I will recommend running Hidden Power Fire on your Latios over your current choice of Thunderbolt. With Hidden Power Fire, Latios is able to hit Ferrothorn, Jirachi and Forretress for decent damage. Well, that's all I have to see for now. I hope my advice helped. Have fun and good luck in your future endeavours!​

Terrakion

Terrakion @ Focus Sash Lv. 100 -- Justified

Nature: Jolly - EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd​

- Taunt
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock

TL;DR

• Garchomp
  
  ------------------> Focus Sash Terrakion
  

• Mamoswine
  
  :
• Expert Belt -> Life Orb
• Adamant -> Jolly

• Latios
  
  : Thunderbolt -> Hidden Power Fire

Thanks dr Ciel, i'll try your changes except for hp fire=>thunderbolt, I need it to revenge kill gyarados, or it will rip my team apart.

Hey!

This is not a bad team, however, strong Water-type moves such as Choice Specs Politoed's Hydro Pump and Choice Specs Keldeo's Hydro Pump can give some problem to your team since your main switch into strong Water-type moves is Latios but he hasn't a recovery move so it'll die quite quickly during your matches, also Keldeo is a decent switch into Water-types moves but it hasn't a recovery move too so it can't tank Water-type moves during entire battle. Therefore, I suggest you to change Latios' set in a Life Orb one with a standard EV spread of 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe, with Draco Meteor, Surf, Psyshock and Recover, with Timid nature and with Life Orb of course; Life Orb Latios is a good wall-breaker and it has more staying power too thanks to Recover to switch into Water-type moves more easily so it should work fine on your team.

Now your team lacks a revenge-kill: revenge-killers are very important in the current BW OU metagame so you should always have a revenge-killer on your teams since they allow to deal fast threats such as Salamence, Volcarona, Tornadus and Thundurus-T more easily, therefore I suggest you to change Garchomp's set in a Choice Scarf one, which is a really good revenge-kill with its high Speed, its offensive statistics, its bulkiness and which its resistance to Stealth Rock. However, I'd use a standard EV spread of 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe with a moveset of Outrage, Earthquake, Stone Edge and Dual Chop, with Jolly nature and with Choice Scarf obviously. I'd use Stone Edge because it would allow you to revenge-kill without any problem Gyarados, which is a threat for your team, as you already said.

If you decide to use Choice Scarf Garchomp, your team lacks Stealth Rock, which is very important against threats such as Dragonite, Salamence, Volcarona, Thundurus-T and Tornadus, therefore I suggest you to change Mamoswine's set in a Focus Sash one, an EV spread of 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd with a moveset of Earthquake, Focus Sash, Ice Shard and Endeavor, with Adamant nature and with Focus Sash should work on your team.

As last thing, I suggest you to use Hidden Power Ice instead of Dragon Pulse on Heatran with 30 IVs on Atk and 30 IVs on Def, which always allow you to have a speed tie against all the Heatrans which run the same IVs as yours; Hidden Power Ice is definitely a better choice than Dragon Pulse on Heatran because it allows to hit harder Dragonite and Salamence and it allows to KO Gliscor and Landorus as well, which can be troublesome for Heatran.

Good luck!
