The team:
I've been using that team for I while so I wanted to share it ;).
Analysis:
Sylveon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock
Sylveon: Choice Specs Sylveon has a lot of power. With Specs I can OHKO Bisharp and and puts a lot of pressure on the other teams so that's nice.
But let's talk about the moveset. It has Hypervoice that does a combo wtih Pixiliate O.o (It's the main STAB attack), Shadow Ball to hit steel types like Jirachi or Metagross (now is being suspected ¬¬), Psyshock special walls like Chansey or Blissey and Hp Ground for Heatran that can take hyper voices like a boss.
Also remember, Hyper Voice hits through subs hehehe.
Problems: It doesn't want to switch into Lati@s because it fears Psyshock, It fears Keldeo (specially the Choice Specs version), It also fears Mega Lopunny, Gallade-Mega and Charizard-X (after a Dragon Dance).
Hp Fire vs. Ground: Hp Fire hits Ferrothorn, Scizor and Skamory but Sylveon fears the Bullet Punch from Scizor. Hp Ground hits Heatran which is the main wall for Sylveon with Hp Fire.

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Earthquake / Taunt
Gyarados: The main source of power for the team, the mega. The cleaner / late game-sweeper. Gyarados got a new STAB move on ORAS, and it's very usefull because it has STAB and dark hits neutral to a lot of things. Also don't forget that Gyarados has Intimidate so it can pressure some physical attackers and has a synergy with Landorus-Therian and when it mega evolves gets Mold Breaker so that means Rotom-W isn't goign to wall you anymore so you can OHKO with EQ after a DD.
About the moveset: Surf is always the best move to use for Gyarados, It lets you surf and it's incredibly powerfull vs. ground, rock and fire type mons. JK Surf sucks on Gyarados. So well now being serious Waterfall allows Gyara to hit walls like Gliscor, Landorus and Hippowdon (mostly when they are at low Hp because most of walls use Toxic) because it's the only move they will fear (well also sub before megaevolving but I don't run it).
The best way to hit heatran is EQ xD, If you don't ues EQ you will eat a will-o-wisp or a Toxic that you don't want so always use EQ on Gyara. It's also for Tyranitar and other steel, fire and rock types that I don't remember. It also does neutral damange to some mons like Keldeo, I say keldeo because I after a DD I can KO it when it's like at 60% (+1 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 223-263 (69 - 81.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO). Also Gyara can do a free DD if Keldeo is locked but you don't really want to change vs. Keldeo because if it uses Scald it can burn you :(.
Crunch as I said and it's the best STAB move for it because Dark hits neutral a lot of things.
Finally Dragon Dance so you can sweep :D. You will need to think when to use Gyara or not because it's your win condition, if Gyara dies you have a problem.
Breloom @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb
Breloom: At the start I tought that Focus Sash Breloom was a good idea, but that's more for HO than balance so I tought that Lum Berry was a good idea to deal with Mew but after testing a lot I saw that LO was a better option for it.
The moveset: Spore: hehehehe that's annoying? You don't want a member of your team sleep but your only grass type is ferrothorn? you don't really know what to do. I also have Mag to trap Ferro js.
Ah, and Venusaur-Mega is a bitch.
Match Punch is the priority move, basically helps to hit bisharp and Serperior (and others but I don't remember atm). Also it helps me to weaken mons at low Hp so they don't do a comeback.
Bullet Seed does a combo with technician and helps me to hit water walls like Politoed, Quagsire, Slowbro and others. Breloom is crucial vs. Rain Teams because they usually run Politoed / Swampert / Ferrothorn that Breloom can beat. Although ferrothorn has Gyroball he doesn’t really want to stay vs. Breloom unless he has Rocky Helmet (Rocky Helmet is pain with LO).
Finally I have Rock Tomb which is perfect vs Bird Spam teams (>o.o)/. And not very important but I want to mention that Rock Tomb has a 100% chance to lower the opponent's Speed one stage.
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
Landorus-Therian is the #1 on usage because it can wall half of the meta atm xD. I have a defensive set instead of the Choice Scarf one because I needed a Rocker. As you can see I’m not using U-Turn because I wanted both SE and Knock Off.
The moveset: First I have Stealth Rock because you always need SR on a team to break sash / study and to help vs. Charizard, Dragonite, Talonflame (aka the smogon bird) & others (and well for the residual damage but that’s obvious).
EQ is the main source of damage that Landorus has because of the STAB and because it can hit neutral to a lot of things that doesn’t levitate or a flying types at OU.
SE is the move that you want on Landorus-T so you can check Talonflame and Charizard-X, that is what I want.
Finally I have Knock off so I can remove items like Shed Shell so I make sure that steel types won’t escape from my Magnezone (remember that the only fire move I have is hp fire). But not only Shed Shell also Choice Specs from Keldeo or Dragalge, Choice Scarf from Landorus / -T, Lefties from walls and more.
Js imagine Landorus-T with Taunt.
Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Surf
Latias is one of the best defoggers on the meta because of it’s resistances, moveset and offensive presence. Also has a good core with Magnezone, which is great.
Also Latias has access to moves like Healing Wish, CM and Roost but on that team I won’t be using any of them because I think there are better moves that fit better in that case. I also need to add that Latias works very well vs. Rain Teams. Just one more thing: why people stays on draco when using rotom-w vs. my latias.
The moveset: Draco Meteor is the main source of damage for Latias because of it’s power. Nothing really wants to switch on a draco expect from Faeries and Steel Type mons (and well the fucking Chansey and Blissey).
Psyshock is what you want over Psychick always so you can hit better special walls like Chansey, Blissey or Clefable. A part from that is the best way I have to deal vs. Mega Venusaur.
Surf is the best thing for that team so I can surprise Heatran and 3HKO it or at least do some damage to it. It also damages a bit Tyranitar which is cool.
And finally defog so I can get rid of SE, Spikes and stuff like that. I also want to mention that defog removes screens xD which I love it.
Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
And my last member is Magnezone, The Trapper. The main reason why I’m running Mag is because it has a perfect synergy with Gyara so I can stop steel types like Ferrothorn, Skarmory or SD Buky Scizor-Mega that can stop Gyarados from sweeping easily. I know that some people uses Shed Shell on Skarmory / Ferrothorn for that but as I said I have Knock Off on Landorus so I have nothing to worry about.
Choice Scarf Mag vs. Specs: The good thing about having scarf is that I can outspeed things like Charizard-Mega-Y or Choice Specs Keldeo, which are important threats to that team, but on the other side you will not OHKO Ferrothorn and / or Scizor / -Mega with Hidden Power fire so that means you will lack of power. If you use specs you will have more power and do more damage to Ferrothorn, Scizor, Clefable, etc. but you will be weak because you will not have enough speed.
Things said, you can use either Specs or Scarf, both are good, but for that team I think that Choice Scarf is better for the reasons I have explained before.
Volt Switch is the perfect move to scout and it’s perfect when you have broken Skarmory’s Sturdy because you have a free switch into something without fearing anything xD. If I had U-Turn on Landorus-T I would have a volturn core which I think is cool, but I think I need both Knock Off and SE on Landorus.
Thunderbolt is prefered for damage over Volt Switch.
Flash Cannon is the STAB move that magnezone needs to deal vs. Faeries like Diancie or Clefable which are annoying. The sad thing about that is that Clefable can run Fire Blast / Flamethrower and that Diancie-Mega can use Rock Polish to outspeed Mag, so not really a big deal. I also have other things to check them.
Hp [Fire]: That’s the move that every Mag needs to trap and defeat every annoying steel type, that includes Klefki (aka Boo Boo keys) which I hate.
