THE SQUAD
I made this team because I wanted to get away from a few of OU’s most popular mons. I started with Diance. I thought it might have good synergy with both Magnezone and Volcarona. That’s my starting core.

Diancie @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Calm Mind
- Diamond Storm
- Draining Kiss
- Mystical Fire
Originally, Diance could take out Mag’s checks with earth power. I’ve since changed the moveset because I added Lando-T. This is a bulky special sweeper w/leftovers.
Good coverage moves. Draining kiss over moonblast for the extra recovery.
Magnezone @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 Def / 116 SpA / 140 Spe
Bold Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Thunderbolt
- Magnet Rise
The move here is to switch Mag in after grassy terrain is set by Rilla. Grassy seed gets used and Def goes up a stage. That and iron d skyrockets body press' power. Stab bolt. Rise to avoid ground moves.
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain
- Bug Buzz
Bulky Volca. Boots as to not take rock damage. Set up and sweep. Giga drain to keep him going and for mons like Swampert.
Rillaboom @ Life Orb
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Knock Off
- Acrobatics
- Drain Punch
Standard Rilla set. As mentioned earlier, he helps set up Mag.
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Lando used to be my defogger before my last addition. Traded that move for sr. Earthquake to take out Mag checks. Pretty standard.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Defog
Before Rotom, I had tran in this spot. However, it didn't really help my team. Rotom-W gives me water coverage, ground immunity AND it's my new defogger.
Well, there ya have it. I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thanks!
