Just a regular OU team

[StreetSmartPanda]

I made this team about a week ago on PO, and I've been fairly successful with it. It's fairly well balanced, but I think it could be tweaked here and there.


Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Trick

Rotom-W is my lead. Depending on the situation, I can attack the opposing lead with the near-perfect coverage to try and land an early KO, or cripple a wall with Trick.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

My Spikes setter and my physical wall (even though it's SpD is higher). Ferrothorn usually comes in on a resisted hit, and either begin setting up Spikes, use Leech Seed to force switches, or dish out damage with Gyro Ball or Power Whip.

Heatran (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 100 SDef / 160 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Roar
- Earth Power

Heatran is my Stealth Rocks user, as well as being the perfect switch-in for the Fire-type attacks Ferrothorn attracts. Lava Plume and Earth Power are for attacking, and Roar is for phazing. However, I'm considering removing either Earth Power or Roar for HP Ice, so it can perfectly counter Outrageing Dragonites and Salamences.

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 HP / 44 Atk / 212 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
- Roost

My late game sweeper. I prefer bulky Dragon Dance over regular DDNite because it gives him more time to set up and begin finishing off the game. Dragon Claw and Fire Punch have very good coverage, and Roost is to keep Dragonite healthy, and resetting Multiscale.

Espeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 156 HP / 176 SAtk / 176 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Ah, how I love Magic Bounce Espeon. Switch it in on the easily predicted status or hazard move, set up a CM on the switch, and dish out damage with Espeons great coverage. I run Psyshock over Psychic purely to take on the special walls that Espeon attracts.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Heal Bell
- Thunder Wave
- Wish
- Seismic Toss

My healer, cleric and special wall. Heal Bell for curing statuses, which is a godsend when half your team is crippled by burn or paralysis. Thunder Wave to cripple sweepers and get those parahax I love so much. Wish to heal up team mates to give them a second wind, and Seismic Toss so Blissey can actually dish out some damage and not be crippled by Taunt.



So that's the OU team I've been using for the last few days. The only thing I think it needs is a spinner and a spinblocker. Thank you for your time and (if you gave one) opinions.

Hey, nice team. I suggest adding pictures so other people will be interested in it. I also suggest using a Bold nature on Blissey.

Hey, nice team! Everything looks fairly solid, although I think you could use a few changes.

Firstly, on Rotom-W, I reccomend replacing Hidden Power Fire with Hidden Power Ice. The reason for this is because your team could easily be swept by a Dragon Dance Dragonite, a very common threat, and Rotom-W is your only Pokemon that outspeeds it after one Dragon Dance. But without Hidden Power Ice, you won't be able to OHKO it, and will have even more trouble dealing with it. This switch should remedy that problem. Sure, you lose out on hitting Ferrothorn, but you can always cripple it with Trick, and switch to Heatran / Espeon and set up on it.

Your Espeon set needs a little changing, and I'll explain why in a bit; here's the set:

Espeon (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

This moveset is pretty much the same as your one, but the only difference is the EVs and the item. The I changed these is because Espeon actually has a fantastic Speed, so there's no reason why you shouldn't abuse it to its fullest. Also, Magic Guard gives you free Life Orb damage with no recoil. These are some of Espeon's best aspects, and if you plan on sweeping with it, you should definitely take advantage of them.

Good luck with the team, I hope I helped!

Edit: Bold nature on Blissey, but I'm assuming that's just a mistake

Thanks =D. I didn't add pictures because I was in a bit of a rush. Not having Bold nature on Blissey was a mistake on my part =3

I gave Rotom-W HP Ice, and I'll be testing it shortly.

My Espeon doubles as a sweeper and bouncer, so I had to move some SpA and Speed EVs in HP to make it bulkier, and the Leftovers for some HP regain. But I may use that set on a future OU team, so thanks for that set. Thanks for your feedback.
