Hello Smogonites! I'm Charge and some of you might know me(people like Yamata, prem and etc) some of you don't. That's okay since I don't really mind(hurr hurr). But anyway, I quit Pokemon a while ago but came back after there's like nothing else to do. Thus, I start with the tier I am most familiar with, OU. Nothing much change, except for the Excadrill ban, which isn't too major. And uh...I kinda got bored of OU. Not because of Weather, but...I don't know. I don't enjoy OU at all. There isn't any Pokemon I like and I'm just kinda forcing myself to use things like Dragonite(I personally don't like Dragonite but anyways). People are saying that UU is just such a fabulous tier, thus I got into it and it was just amazing. I looked at the tier list, even though there are still things that I don't like(majority of the shit I like is in NU, and I'm not playing that just yet) but yeah, it seems more balance and yeah, you get the point. I tried to make a UU team after that. I must say, I am the worse team-builder ever. I can take days, and days, and weeks and NOTHING will come out. So I kinda just close my eyes and think of a combo that I like and build around it.
Team-building Process:
I am not gonna include pictures because I'm a lazy sack of shit :P
I really want to try Flygon + Rotom-H. It forces so many switch, it isn't even funny. And because from my experience, the thing you would want to have in a battle, is momentum. You would wanna be in control of the whole situation the whole time. And because I am such a lazy sack of balls, I just threw in a defensive core along with Flygon + Rotom-H.
Slowbro + Registeel + Roserade. Yeah, I just threw in this set of combo with a Golurk to spinblock. Until I realized it isn't working at all. So, I made a few changes with the help of some Smogon members in the PO server. I changed Registeel to Donphan because I desperately need to deal with Darmanitan(even though Slowbro can do it, I wanna lessen the load on him) and to spin because since Flygon + Rotom-H is constantly in and out, SR + Spikes are not appreciated. I changed Roserade to Scolipede because it just disappoints me. I don't know if I'm using wrong or what, but it just cannot take any hit. Yep yep, thus that's what my team is based on, so far.
Then, I realized I have nothing to deal with stall. I have absolutely NO Taunters at all. Thus, I took out Golurk and replaced it with Sableye.
And that's my team so far.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
Yes. Donphan. The EVs might be a little strange, but it helps me tank things more than the 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def variants. It hits things hard enough already so I don't really care. I generally like to balance things out a little bit :D But anyway, SR is compulsory. I need SR. It's like a must. Flygon + Rotom-H forces switch and SR will wear them down in order for Flygon to sweep through them. Or Rotom-H, whatever. It depends. Ice Shard for those Flygons and Dragons and Roserades that try to set up on me. Really, Ice Shard is just pure sex. It eliminates tons of things that are weak to Ice already. Earthquake is just for that Darmanitan and random fire types but most importantly, my STAB. I tried to replace Ice Shard with Stone Edge but it isn't doing as much shit as Ice Shard will.
@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Choice Scarf Flygon. Flygon, one of my favourite Dragons is usable. Holy. That's what I'm saying. Outrage is for late-game sweep. Or if I can just pull it off mid-game or so, I will just do it and get the fuck out after it's done with his business. U-Turn is the main focus point. I mean, U-Turn is just so sexy. It scouts. Yeah sure, it only scouts but in return, I got back the momentum that I lost a while ago. It allows me to be in control everytime. And it gives that offensive pressure to the opponent, which is crucial. Earthquake + SE is for coverage. I hardly touch them. Outrage + U-Turn is what I need(mostly).
@ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Trick
CS Rotom-H. People are telling me to use Scarf. While I am not outspeeding as much things as Scarf, I deal a lot more damage to them. Nothing appreciates a Specs-Boosted Overheat. Not even Slowbro or Rhyperior(the last Rhyperior I faced took a 75% Overheat, not sure what variant it is but still). Overheat is just...okay. Let's put it this way. Chuck Norris on steroids. Pro stuff. Volt Switch is, again, the focus here. Volt Switch + U-Turn. Flygon + Rotom-H. It's like the Scizor + Rotom-W in OU. HP Grass to hit that Rhyperior hard and occasional Slowbro crazy enough to switch into me. Trick is just retardedly RETARDED BRO. Chansey? You're only that sexy with that Eviolite. Without it, hurr hurr. HURR HURR. DERP. LOL. /end troll.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Thunder Wave
- Psychic
- Fire Blast
And speaking of derp. May I introduce you, to Mr Derpster. My team pretty much cannot survive without Slowbro. It's so fucking good! I spread T-Wave to everybody and cripple them for the rest of the match. Sexy move, I know, I know. Scald is for burns. It's for that Arcanine who thinks he can Wild Charge me into Oblivion. NO(even though it might just be able to but whatever). But overall, Scald helped me with a lot of things. Everybody appreciates Burn, duh. Psychic is a neat STAB move and Fire Blast will mutiliate that Evio Ferro or Escavalier. DERP.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Toxic Spikes
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
Possibily the weakest link in my team. It isn't even doing anything except for Spikes and TSpikes. Well, it's doing something, but it does the most insignificant things most of the time. I think I'm just not using him enough. I will test him out more and get back to you :D Do suggest something over this dude if possible. Megahorn still hits retardedly strong and EQ is for coverage. Adamant nature? Strange? Nope. Because Scolipede is already so fast, Adamant is for that extra ommph.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Recover
- Night Shade
Helllooooo Sableye. I usually lead with Donphan to lure out those things that can shut down Donphan early in the game. Things like Ambipom is retarded to face. WoW and the rest of the match, he's no threat. Azumarill? Burn. Whatever shit that comes in, I will just WoW / Taunt accordingly. Recover is to stall that Burn or TSpikes if Scolipede manages to set up. Night Shade is just...well, really just for an attack.
So, here's my team. I won more matches than I lost but really, I want to just try and improve my team no matter what and I feel that something is terribly missing and I seek your help! Thanks!
