SM OU I'm in a hurry - Hyper Offense Peaked #6 (1921 elo)

[RedEmption]

Proof that i Peaked #6 -----------------> http://www.noelshack.com/2017-16-1492734342-tyutdrses.png



Introduction :

Sometimes you just don't want to cogitate while playing Pokemon. I'm one of those guys who likes to bring dumb hyper offenses on the ladder just for fun, trying to predict every of my opponent's move and somehow... climbing to the top. Anyway, hi guys, I'm RedEmption, a well known try-hard, and this is my first RMT. I built it for the week #3 of the French Community League, and it worked so well that i tried it on the ladder. Well, you know what comes next. I hope you can help me to make this team even better !

Team Building Process

Zygarde @ Groundium Z
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 16 HP / 252 Atk / 240 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Thousand Arrows
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Extreme Speed

I started with a unique Zygarde, the common [Dragon dance /Thousand Arrows /Substitute and Espeed] set, but with Groundium Z. In my mind, this set is really underrated. It's countered by some common Pokemon like Tangrowth or Tapu Bulu, but once those threats are out, Zygarde does an insane job, believe me. I guess you can change Substitute for Iron tail, but you'll be kinda weak to toxic and stall teams.

Metagross-Mega @ Metagrossite
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Thunder Punch
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

My goal while playing this team is always to sweep with Zygarde, and is there a better mate for him in this metagame than Mega-Metagross ? I don't think so. Gross beats Tapu Bulu easily, deals well with AV Tangrowth, and will necessarily weaken Landorus. Thunder Punch make my machup easier against Celesteela, stall team, rains and even Manaphy + Baton pass . Seriously, ban this thing.

Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 24 SpD / 48 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn

Here he comes, the Pokemon that fits every team. I needed a ground resist + a bulky physical anwser, and he's perfect for the job. He weakens the opponent with stealth rock, beats others Landorus with HP ice and keep the momentum with U-Turn. What else ?

Tapu Koko @ Life Orb
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
- Dazzling Gleam

This one is definitely my favourite Pokemon from the 7th generation, i can't imagine an hyper offense without him. Its still a fine stallbreaker and a huge threat to other offense teams. Hidden power Fire is a "must have" because of the team weakness to ferrothorn and Scizor. Dazzling Gleam deals with garchomp, 2HKO offensive Landorus and does decent damages to the defensive one.

Greninja-Ash @ Choice Specs
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Hydro Pump
- Water Shuriken
- U-turn

This team is more like a "should be uber" team, right ? Well, Greninja is the THIRD U-turn user in my team. Well, you know what it's capable of, not many Pokemon can handle the Water/Dark combinaison. Water Shuriken is a great priority move that puts offensive teams under pressure, and is perfect to finish games when checks have been weakened.

Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sacred Sword
- Leaf Blade
- Night Slash
- Smart Strike

I need a Choice scarf in every team, this is obsessive. Kartana is mainly here to be used as a revenge killer to Tapu Koko, Scarf Garchomp, Scarf Landorus or Scarf Lele which are very theatening. It beats Tapu bulu that really annoys me and is a fine answer to ferrothorn, which will be forced to switch.


Main Threats

Tapu Koko is of course an huge threat, i need to win the tie with my own koko to weaken it, or evolve my greninja quickly to have a fine revenge killer.

Every time i faced Keldeo, it has been a real pain in the ass. I have no switch in to this, and i'm forced to win many 50/50 with Greninja and landorus.

Greninja Battle bond is definitly more dangerous than the protean for my team. I have no real switch in so i have to let him evolve. Scarf kartana, Espeed Zygarde and my own greninja have to do their best.

Assault Vest Tangrowth is a real pain. Gross is the only one with a good matchup if he carries Hidden power ice. I have to turn around it with Uturn, and make good predicts.

Conclusion: Thanks so much for reading , any input you can give me is appreciated. This is my first RMT and I'm french, I apologize for grammar mistakes, or formatting errors. Well, see ya' !

Hey cool team. I suggest changing scarf kartana to scarf tapu bulu. That solves the problem with all in yoir threatlist except tangrowth. Another threat is ferrothorn , so now you have tapu bulu with grassy terrain, earthquake do less damage, change gross to hammer arm.

Good luck with the team!

 

[GBlade]

I'd suggest having 28 spdef evs on Landorus-T to live hp ice from life orb Tapu Koko 100% of the time.

252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 28 SpD Landorus-Therian: 322-380 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Landorus-Therian: 322-385 (84.2 - 100.7%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

 

[Cool.isColress]

Hi friend,cool team you got there!I battled a bit with your team and found that this team was amazing.But your team struggles a bit against the threat you have listed about.So I will be trying to make your team not weak against those mons by making some changes.I hope you like it.

Changes

>

So first of all I would suggest you using Assault Vest Tangrowth over Scarf Kartana.As stated in your rmt your team has trouble against Keldeo,Tapu Koko,Ash Greninja.Assault Vest Tangrowth Helps your team against this threats.Tangrowth also learns assault vest which helps vs Scizor Mega and Ferrothorn.

Sets

Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]

>

So after removing Kartana this team looses it's scarfer making this team lack it's speed control.Scarf Koko can help in this case.I have chosen hp fire on the Scarf Koko to make the team less weak to Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor.

Sets

Tapu Koko @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
- Dazzling Gleam

So the last and final change come for none other than Mega Metagross.I have chosen Hammer arm on Metagross over Thunderpunch to have a better chance against Ferrothorn.This also helps Vs Skarmory.

Sets

Metagross-Mega @ Metagrossite
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Hammer Arm
- Ice Punch

Not sure Rate

So Landorus has the ability to help your match vs Tangrowth.You can do this by simply changing your Landorus set to this Landorus set.

Set

Landorus-Therian @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 160 Def / 24 SpD / 48 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Fly
- Swords Dance

Well,I am not sure about Lando.It was just a recommendation that i thought might help your team.But you can try it to see how it works.

Team after the change:https://pastebin.com/xniq263b

 

[Imperator Caesar]

Hi fren, your team is a good one (a bit dated) but personally i would play Lando t offensive Z move fly Jolly over Lando t defensive in order to increase stall Match up moreover your team doesn't need T punch on M gross so i prefer zen headbutt over T punch. I really appreciate hp fire on tapu koko because it's just too good to deal massive damage to both zor and ferrothorn. And in order to deal with M medicham i would play dugtrio bander over zygarde. However be aware with Volcarona too.I think it's all. Enjoy fren

 

[Zokuru]

Hi bro

Nice team you have here, there're many nice suggests above but I would like to add one think, what about Z Outrage Zygarde ?

GH[O]ST used it a bit on the ladder, and he showed me it. It's a pretty nice lure to Tangrowth, a pokemon your team struggle with, and Koko do an insane amount of job for your Zyg and your Gross, so I think ZGround is too much.

I would also play Spikes Prot greg in order to have another gameplan against stall, as Gross alone could be hndle easily by a nice player.

 

[Candice]

Hey, I agree with Zokuru, Z Outrage looks like a nice option. It would help your team a lot. Since I've faced it I know its flaws (Keldeo haha) Tapu Bulu is an interesting option, although it does help your team VS some threats, it does make it more slow and I guess you do want your scarf to be fast. And Kartana is pretty underrated atm, so a lot of teams are not prepared for this mon (I wasn't lol). Just try Bulu and see how it goes, you know it's not that easy to cover everything is this meta.

Congrats for your peak and good luck with the rest !

Nice team man, very fun, it just struggles against that tapu fini & tangrowth defensive core. I've tried Ice beam on gren, it helps by pressure tangrowth but you lose the momentum that u turn provides.
