Updates to the Team

1) I have switched out Choice Scarf Terrakion for a Choice Scarf LAndorus, for more Sand abuse power and a better late game sweeper thanks to Pocket.


2)I have added Hidden Power Fire on Metagross thanks to Pocket so I won't be walled by the steel types (Scizor, Skarmory, etc) that are annoying who can wall Metagross.

3) I'm still testing out the other Trick Room sweepers Marowak and Rhyperior that Pocket suggested.

4) I have dropped Energy Ball on Reuniclus for Focus Blast to hit Steel types that are weak to fighting type moves.

Hey Sciztar your team has gotten better since the last time I rated it, if your having problems with Slowbro you can add Grass Knot on Metagross. But I would look into adding Rhyperior on the team, it greatly appreciates the boost from the sandstorm. You already have Gastrodon as your water team counter so this would work well and really appreciate the Storm Drain boost. Also I think you need to get a defensive Bronzong like what Pocket suggested.

If I add Grass Knot on Metagross, that would only be going after Hippowdon and Swampert, but they are rarely seen in OU. And Rotom-W takes laughable damage from Grass Knot, so I'll pass on that.

I'm still testing out Rhyperior, so I'll tell if Rhyperior works on the team or not.

But I have tested special defensive Bronzong and it works but I mostly get hit with Physical Attack so I might add some Def Evs.

Thanks for the Rate @Slowking12, I hope to see another versions of Trick Room team on Smogon again.

yea, Grass Knot doesn't sound good now that you mention it. But if you try out Rhyperior I would recommend Pocket's set on Rhyperior the Swords Dance set, yea it might waste a turn of Trick Room but you have a think above 800 attack stat after the Swords Dance. Also I'm about to make a new RMT today, it going to be Trick Room Team but is an update to my older team and its a mix of another older Trick Room Team that was successful on Smogon, before the ban of Thundurus and Excadrill.
 
Bump, I tested out Rhyperior and his weakness to Water and grass was too much for the team. The extra grass weakness didn't go well with Gastrodon. I'm now going to test out Marowak.
