ORAS OU Hyper Offensive Team First RMT :)

[_Adam_]

Hello this is my first Rate My Team. I have just come back to pokemon so I am a little rusty. This is a hyper offensive team that abuses Mega-Mence just because he is in my opinion the best mega at the moment. It's basically just a team filled with a bunch of threats. Anyways let's get started!

Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
Happiness: 0
EVs: 248 HP / 152 Atk / 56 SpD / 52 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Frustration

This is just a monster if this guy can set up and get behind sub. I have 5-0 teams with this guy. I run a bulky-ish set because he already gets his bonuses from Dragon Dance. I have invested in some Special Defense EVs just so my sub doesn't break from volt switch Rotom-W. This guy sets up behind sub on a good switch, sets up a dragon dance , and its an easy sweep. Not to mention spikes and rocks help a ton.

Ferrothorn @ Shed Shell
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Spikes
- Protect
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball

This guy doesn't really have anyone who wants to come in on him. He is such a threat at the moment. I use shed shell to stop people who try to trap me in and kill Ferrothorn as that's very common at the moment. This guy can stop certain pokemon from setting up on me with the protect and leech seed combo. He can also get up spikes and has a decent attacking move. Just a really good Pokemon overall.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 40 Atk / 216 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]

This guy now has Gunk Shot which just destroys Fairy types. Always has stab and gets bonus from life orb. Nasty speed and special attack. Has a bunch of viable sets. Greninja is just a beast. I run 40 Atk EVs to do more damage with Gunk Shot. I can kill most things with either one or two hits. He is just so amazing in the new meta. I prefer Hidden Power [Fire] over Dark Pulse or low kick because Ferrothorn is everywhere at the moment. You don't usually see empoleon so there is really no need for low kick at the moment.

Latios (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Trick
- Draco Meteor
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock

Latios is such a beast. I run a choice scarf set with trick to stop annoying this such as Chansey , Ferro , ect. He has a powerful stab Draco Meteor which does a good amount of damage on just about anything that's not a fairy. I run Shadow Ball over defog just because I have rapid spin on my Excadrill so theres no need for me to have defog and rapid spin on my team. Psyshock is just a really powerful stab that hits their defense which is useful on Special Defensive threats such as Chansey.

Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Flare Blitz
- Tailwind

This bird has priority , damage , speed , u-turn , dual stab , and tail wind which wins me games sometimes. It's basically everything you would want in an offensive team to be honest. It's so powerful right now it can beat gengar who is strong right now , Mega- Gallade , Mega Beedrill , ect. It's priority helps against those fast mega mons that can try to sweep. It has resistance to wil-o-wisp. Just goes ham.

Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Iron Head

Has rocks , rapid spin , has good damage , and can outspeed tons of things when there is sand up. Has double stab moves. Pretty basic excadrill set. I just wanted someone who go set up rocks and spin things away. I was thinking of putting defog on my latios and changing this into a heatran but I dont know I thought this was better because it's a hyper offensive team.

Thank so much for taking time out of your day to look at my rate my team. I'm just coming back so if this seems bad please don't judge lol. All responses are much appreciated! Thanks again and please help :P

Hey, you've got a nice start to a team here. I'll see what I can do to polish it up a bit; throw in my two cents. I don't have time to actually play your team (sorry), so I'm just going to make assumptions from face-value.

On Latios, I recommend Hidden Power [Fire] > Shadow Ball. There's honestly nothing in OU that you really need to hit with Ghost moves to take down that Dragon or Psychic attacks can't handle. HP Fire, on the other hand, nukes Pokemon like Scizor and Ferrothorn that otherwise resist both STABs.

On Excadrill, I recommend Mold Breaker > Sand Rush. When you don't have a Tyranitar on your team, there's really no excuse to have Sand Rush, since Mold Breaker lets you annihilate the likes of Rotom-Wash which loves to switch-in on Excadrill without the ability.

On Talonflame, I recommend Roost > Tailwind. Without bulk EVs, Talonflame doesn't really have any business hanging out in front of anything with an offensive presence that it doesn't plan to KO that turn, so Tailwind sort of becomes a waste of a move-slot, since against skilled opponents you will not find many times to set it up. Roost allows you to have a backup plan to deal with Rocks. I also recommend a re-vamped EV spread of 192 HP / 252 Atk / 64 Spd while retaining the Adamant nature, allowing you more excusable bulk whilst still allowing you to outrun things like Jolly Excadrill without having to use Brave Bird.
