Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature
- Foul Play
- Whirlwind
- Toxic
- Roost
This Pokemon is just fantastic, what else is there to say?
Mandibuzz is my main physical wall, and does a great job of taking out set up sweeper. Destroying physical ones with foul play, and phazing out special ones. Its also a fantastic Aegislash counter.
I usually lead with Mandibuzz if I see that my opponent has a Smeargle or is using a obvious Baton Passer like Scolipede or Ninjask.
Excadrill (F) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
My favorite Ground type. Been waiting too damn long to use her in OU.
Main spinner, and straight up physical attacker.
Excadrill is an incredibly useful member of this team, synergizes exceptionally with Mandibuzz, Dragonite, and Volcarona by resisting most of their weaknesses, and getting rocks off the field with ease.
Ferrothorn (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
My special wall. Great for dealing with Pokemon like Greninja, and to an extent Rotom Wash, and can help supply some minor healing to the rest of the team. I went with rocky helmet over leftovers because its pretty effective at finishing off physical attackers, or crippling/destroying Talonflame.
Volcarona (F) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Quiver Dance
My favorite Bug Pokemon, and one of two set up sweepers. Pretty standard set, it can sweep unprepared teams with ease, and with HP Rock its great for baiting, and dealing with Talonflame, and Mega Pinser.
Has good offensive synergy with Starmie.
Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin
Back up spinner, and straight up special attacker.
Is fantastic with Volcarona. Has good offensive synergy, is capable of scaring out some of Volcarona's checks, and can spin without too much difficulty. Which also helps out the last pokemon here.
Dragonite (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
- Dragon Dance
I've heard, and seen Weakness Policy Dragonite in use, and I know how fearsome it can be. Its the only priority user on the team, and extreme speed has saved me in quite a few battles particularly against Talonflame, and a Mega Kangaskhan.
Overall I'm pretty happy with him, but I am concerned about his weakness to rock. I have two spinners, but I wonder if having three Pokemon that are vulnerable to stealth rocks, two of which are VERY vulnerable to stealth rocks(Volcarona losing half her HP, and Dragonite losing Multiscale).
I considered Zygarde for a while, but I have this thing against using Legendary Pokemon. Sorry if thats weird.
So can anyone help me out?
