Hello! Welcome to my FIRST OU RMT, since I am generally strictly NU. However, I have decided to try out OU for the first time, and base my team around an NU contender, Medicham! Its a pretty basic team, but it gets the job done. Here is a quick view:
I am not good at syncing and finding out weaknesses in a tier I have never played before, so this is a completely new experience for me. So far, I have yet to face a smart person in OU, so I am not REALLY sure how well this team works. Every game, I have either slaughtered the opposing team, got EXTREME hax'd and lost, or just barely lost. Hopefully, with the changes you guys give me, my team will improve immensely!
EDITS WILL BE IN GREEN!
The Entry Hazard!
Skarmory @ Shed Shell
Evs: 252 Health, 252 Defense, 6 Speed
Nature: Impish
Moveset:
Whirlwind
Roost
Spikes
Stealth Rock
Role on my Team: This wonderful bird is an Electric type lure, SPECIALLY Magnezones! God do I love Choice Spec Magnezone. <3 Anyhow, basically his role is to set up Spikes and Stealth Rock, while being able to Roost off damage and Whirlwind away VERY important threats such as Scizor who has achieved +4, as he will not die from a +4 Superpower. I have come across so many idiots who have no Skarmory counter, and I have actually "swept" entire teams by spamming Whirlwind. Its freaking hillarious. He also works infamously with the pink ball of joy below!
Why a Impish Nature?: Gives maximum defense, which is what this Skarmory is all about.
Why this EV Spread?: These EV's allow me to tank a 4+ Superpower from Scizor, and Whirlwind it out. While he will be extremely injured, atleast my entire team won't die now to Bullet Punch...
How was this edited?: I moved it into the lead position.
The Electric Annoyance!
Jolteon @ Leftovers
Evs: 104 Health, 152 Special Attack 252 Speed
Nature: Timid
Moveset:
Agility
Substitute
Baton Pass
Thunderbolt
Roll on my Team: While this Jolteon is often a huge set up bait for Electivire ( Then again, what Jolteon ISN'T? ) He does his job pretty well. His main point on my team is to jump into an Electric attack, absorb it, and then start setting up. After he has set up, he will then BP to Medicham. Pretty simple!
Why a Timid Nature?: Its a standard Jolteon nature. Allows him to tie with other Jolteons, and outspeed most of the metagame.
Why this EV Spread?: It gives him the correct speed, as well as retaining his attacking powers, incase I do need to attack something ( VERY rarely. ) 104 Health provides me with the health I need for my Substitute to survive through an 80 SPA Blissey's Flamethrower or Ice Beam. :) Thanks for this great spread!
The Supa Sweepa!
Medicham @ Expert Belt
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant
Moveset:
Bulk Up
Thunder Punch
Ice Punch
Brick Break
Role on my Team: Many people tell me Medicham is an inferior Electivire. He doesn't have that Bullet Punch resistance, etc. I do enjoy using him though! His main job is to accept the Baton Pass from Jolteon ( Who often lures in Blissey. LOL ) and then start sweeping away. If I Baton Passed off Blissey, I can often get a free Bulk Up as it flees for its life to something like Rotom. This guy has swept entire teams, even with this dull moveset. It has the classic BoltBeam Punch combination, along with Brick Break for stab and an attack to slaughter T-Tar / Blissey / Snorlax with!
Why an Adamant Nature?: Since I am already recieving a +2 speed boost, it allows me to hit things even harder then normal, scoring many OHKO's that I don't normally recieve with a Jolly Nature.
Why this EV Spread?: Standard sweeping spread. Nothing much to it.
The Big Scary Gyarados!
Gyarados @ Leftovers
EVs: HP 76, Attack 108, Defense 156, Speed 168
Nature: Jolly
Moveset:
Taunt
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Earthquake
Role on my team: Basically, it lures in the electric attacks to safely get in my Jolteon, while still being an omnipresent threat by itself! Quite often, I bring him into Physical Threats that I am scared to death of, and just Intimidate them over and over if I have to. It doesn't have the best type coverage, I will give you that, but Taunt refuses me getting Whirlwinded out by the likes of Skarmory and other phazers.
Why a Jolly Nature?: Quite honestly, I have no idea! I took this build from another RMT, just so I could get a feel of a more bulky Gyarados, and I have been using it ever sense.
Why those EVs?: ^^ I have absolutely NO idea why! However, they do quite well! I would love someone to give me a better EV spread, if they feel it working better for my team.
How was this edited?: It was changed from my lead position.
The Cliche Pink Nurse!
Blissey @ Leftovers
Evs: 252 Defense, 80 Special Attack, 176 Special Defense
Nature: Calm
Moveset:
Wish
Protect
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Role on my Team: Blissey effectively takes all my Special Attacks thrown at Skarmory, while giving Wish support to the rest of my team. Many times she has been Tricked a Scarf, which has yet to nullify her uses. I have had people go nuts because they thought she would be useless, yet, she still comes in and does her job even WITH the scarf. Thunder Wave spread around that all important status which my Medicham thrives off, just incase I do not get my Agility pass to him.
Why a Calm Nature?: Giving Blissey a Calm nature is just the correct thing to do.. Its a standard Blissey nature!
Why these EVs?: These EVs allow Blissey to take physical attacks MUCH better then she could before, while still allowing her to pack a punch. They are the standard Wish Blissey EVs.
The Cookie Oven!
Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
Evs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack
Nature: Modest
Moveset:
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Overheat
Trick
Role on my Team: He is a very valuable Spin Blocker and Revenge killer! He can easily kill things such as Starmie and Tentacruel by simply spamming his STAB's at them for super effective damage! He also kills Lucario, who is a HUGE threat to my team, as he can Extremespeed kill my Medicham. Aswell, he can also take out the threat that every team uses, Scizor! What an amazing little oven he is!
Why a Modest Nature?: For that added punch! Makes him hit a bit harder, and scores the needed OHKO's.
Why these EVs?: Normal sweeping Rotom EV's. Nothing to them. ^^
How was this edited?: I replaced my dead-weight Heatran for Rotom-H!
In Conclusion
Thank you for reading my RMT! Here is a quick runback at my team!
Have a great holiday break, and have fun!
