ORAS OU Hawlucha Balance

Hello, Everybody! welcome to Hawlucha Balance a new team i made that works pretty well but has some issues that i would love some answers to. All i would like is to keep hawlucha on the team please!

The Squad

Hawlucha @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Acrobatics

Purpose: Hawlucha is the star of my team that can act as a grwat mid/late game sweeper after many threats like raikou, clefable, and mega mane are taken care of.
set details: Hawlucha is rocking the standard sitrus unberden set that allows doubles his speed after the berry is eaten. Sub is used for the berry popping and for protection from toxic, thunder wave, will o wisp and other moves.

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 160 HP / 76 Atk / 96 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

Purpose: Ferro is my rocker and physical wall. With leech seed ferro gains a hefty amount back each turn and is erfect for switch ins.
set details: Ferrothorn is carrying the stealth rock to set up hazards, leech for health and switch ins gyro for damage which hits hard with 0 ivs in speed and power whip for rain teams that are ever scary.

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Earthquake

purpose: Gyrados is the mega for my team and an intimidate user. Intimidate is an amazing ability but gyra does not need it. After mega this ability will be gone. Gyrados is a great lead and can really tear down teams for my hawlucha.
set details: D D is for set up. With one or two up it can easily sweep teams that are not ready for it. Crunch and water fall are stab and EQ for ferrothorn, and electric typs which includes rotom W because of mold breaker.

Raikou @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power Ice
- Signal Beam

Purpose: Raikou is an all out attacker with a lot of special bulk thanks to the assault vest hp ice and signal beam are for hoopa U and lando that scare this pkmn. Volt provides momentum which my team has none of.
set details: ^

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish

purpose: Latias is a late game medic and major threat. It counters mons like keldeo and checks slow bulky mons like hippo and chancy. I concidered changind defog for calm mind.

set details: Draco and psyshock are latias' main attacks that deal with mons like chomp and keldeo. Latias also has healing wish to heal up hawlucha and gyra for a second chance at sweeping.


Keldeo @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Icy Wind

purpose: keldeo fits well on every team either as a choicer or a sweeper. My keldeo is a fast varient that applies pressure to my opponents team and burns mons with scald.

set details: Keldeo is walled by the latis and can no hit with hp bug. Keldeo also has icy wind to slow down threats. Scald and secret sword are keldeos main atatcks that deal with normals, darks, steels, rocks, ice, fire, and ground types which are too many to name.

hey guys thats the team! I would love some feedback! thanks!

Hey there, having just posted an RMT based around Hawlucha I am already a fan of your RMT. This is a very nice offensive team but I believe I can help make it a bit better :D
For starters, Sand teams pose a huge threat to your team, as does Tornadus-Therian. For this reason I suggest using Rotom-Wash > Gengar
This lessens the sand issue and gives you a switch in to tornadus therian as well as a pivot when gengar wasn't really doing much.
Next I suggest changing Keldeo's Set to Hydro Pump > Icy Wind
I believe this is appropriate because Icy Wind isn't really doing much. With a choice scarf, you are already outspeeding and hitting lati twins, celebi, slowbro, and starmie with Hidden Power [Bug]. Normally I would suggest using Hidden Power [Ice], but the coverage from Hidden Power [Bug] is much more appreciated
Last but not least, I noticed a huge weakness to Mega Alakazam at this point.
I suggest running Chople Berry Ferrothorn > Rocky Helmet. Also the EV spread on ferrothorn isn't really doing much for you so I would suggest returning to the standard spread for a more mixed bulk which I will post in the sets down below.
This trims down the mega alakazam weakness as well as a weakness to Mega Lopunny which is running throughout the team.

In short
Rotom-Wash > Gengar
Hydro Pump > Icy Wind on Keldeo
Chople Berry > Rocky Helmet on Ferrothorn

I love Hawlucha <3 I think that
raikou.png
>
gengar.png
in this team: Your team is a really weak at Talonflame and Tornadus-T that destroy you more easy, Raikou help you vs this weakness and give you a Volt-Swich support that is a really good for this team. Signal beam help you vs Hoopa and Celebi that are really hard to beat for your team.

Change the spread on
ferrothorn.png
for survive two Ice Beams from +3 Manaphy. A Sassy nature is a good option because allows Ferrothorn to survive the combination of Hyper Voice + Focus Blast from Modest Mega Gardevoir most of the time. Leftovers>Rocky helmet on Ferrothorn for passive recovery and because you don't need to rocky helmet in this team.
