Hello! Not only is this my first Competitive OU team it is also my first RMT! I am truly sorry for the shabby appearance and the difficulty to read. I don't usually have a goal with this team, I kinda just probe and switch and attack while keeping track of the opponents moves and items, and then quickly set up Latios to sweep. I would say Landorus cat form is the most important because the Z-fly for grass types, 2 immunities, and intimidate, works wonders for my team. Lets get to the pokes(Apologies for the lack of imagery, My computer is acting wonky.
Latios(Sonic)@Life OrbIVs: 0 attack EVs:max Spe 128 HP 128 Spa . Timid nature. Calm Mind,Recover,Ice Beam, Thunderbolt.
I can already hear the screams: Recover!? 128 HP!? Are You insane!? I know, I know, but It works for me. Dragon typing gives me plenty of resistances to switch into and an earthquake aimed at Toxapex is a piece of cake. With a no-nonsense 350 speed, I can set up, Recover, and repeat. By the time he realizes that that coverage ice beam isn't doing anything and swaps, ill be at +2. BoltBeam has great coverage and hits most of the tier hard(including 2 tapus!). Take a look at the +2 stats
HP-333 Defense-166 SPA-656 SPD-512 SPE-350
Latios is my sweeper and is pretty good at revenge killing(Ice Beam blasts Landorus out of the sky!). I have fell in love with this set since ORAS and it still doesn't disappoint.
Chansey(Bobthzeblob)@ Eviolite IVs: 0 attack EVs: Max HP, Max Def, 4 SPD. Bold nature. Soft Boiled,Seismic toss,Heal bell, wish.
Yep, Its chansey. I tried my team without it, and I was like, Wowzas I need a cleric. Paralyzed pokemon on my team fall hard. Luckily, chansey can switch into almost anything and pull of the heal. Natural cure heals itself on the fly and Eviolite makes me untouchable to SPA attackers. If I use wish, and then switch into any of my pokemon, they get a full heal. This makes switching into attacks easier and lets pokemon that can’t heal, like Fini and Landorus, get a second chance at life(get it? Chance?).I really needed a alakazam counter otherwise it would run all over my team, and chansey is a good one, as focus blast is to inaccurate to make me constantly heal. I have to be careful with rotom though, because a pain split on chansey is a full heal for him. Chansey is my SPA wall, cleric and chipper. She is indispensable to my team.
Azelf(Uxie)@Focus sash EVs: Max Spe,Max attack. Jolly nature. Magic coat, Taunt, Stealth Rock, EXPLOSION.
Azelf has been my lead every single freaking game I play. I have experimented with many rockers, and I have(thank god finally)decided on Azelf. I have chosen magic coat above skill swap because fast taunters are more of a threat then MSableye(It also bounces Rocks, Spikes, Status, and everything else status). I would prefer to keep azelf alive because a 350+ speed explosion Is always handy. And I never explode right away if there is a Ghost type. If I can set up rocks and get away, Then I have a 350+ speed taunter, rocker, and bomb with a deathwish.
Toxapex(Plumeria)@Black Sludge/Rocky Helmet EVs: Max HP, Max Sp def, careful nature. Haze, Toxic, Recover, Poison Jab.
After much deliberation, it turns out that toxapex made the squad. He adds a little Alolan cultural variety to the squad, and is just to annoying to not use. I am unsure of black sludge or rocky helmet, Because the helmet will get some chip kills, but sludge will make healing more reliable. Either way, regenerater is the best choice for an ability. I have been having some trouble with him and Fini. I have 4 pivot/walls. Lando,Chansey,Fini,and Toxapex. Lando is obviously defensive, and Chansey is obviously specially defensive. But what about Fini and toxapex? SP def or Def? PLEASE help me. For now, I am running Sp def with a careful nature to increase his already great synergy with landorus. Classic Toxic+recover to stallkill even against pokemon with recovery. Poison Jab is important because it lets me inflict status on pokemon I can’t poison directly like sableye and the rare Absol. It also lets me poison through taunt and to mediocre damage to Tapu Bulu and ScarfSerp. Haze lets me slow down UBs and DDers. If a had to drop someone I would not hesitate to choose Plumeria. I have considered many times to drop it for a nicewallbreaker like CharzardMY
Tapu Fini(Delphini)@Leftovers 0attack IVs EV: HP:252 Def:100 SpD: 156 nature:??? Natures Madness, Brine, Defog, Taunt.
For a long time I was trying to avoid using the tapus. I just didn’t like the design, and I usually don’t like legendary pokemon(Besides the Eons). However, I finally went down to peer pressure, and now I have Delphini. She is my hazard remover and stallbreaker. Nobody enjoys switching into a NM(except zygard c but he’s not OU) and after that bar goes yellow, brine turns into a 100% accuracy hydro pump. Leftovers is mandatory as she has no other form of recovery. Taunt is a great stall breaking tool and shuts down ferrothorn and Chansey. I am thinking about switching my EVs to full defensive so she has better synergy with chansey(Its hilarious when they think that they’ve worn down Delphini and then I just wish and get a full heal). Please let me know your thoughts.
Landorus(?)@flyiniumZ EVs: max HP max Def nature:Relaxed(if U-turn)Impish(if no U-turn) Fly,Earthquake,U-turn/Swords Dance,Stone Edge.
Here he is: The Glue of my team!(oooh maybe I should name him Elmer’s?) Landorus is a badbutt looking Monster that dominates the field(unless theres a Pheramosa). I use intimidate at least thrice a game, and his supreme stat spread and wide movepool means that nobody can know what to expect when they see him. U-turn grabs chip damage and momentum, but swords dance lets him pull semisweeps and make SupersonicSkystrike an absolute NUKE. Thanks to heavy beef, intimidate, and a sticky item, Landourus is a superb choice for taking knockoffs to the face. Stone edge has great coverage with earthquake and nails mons like pincer, salamance and volcarona.

Here are some questions I would like addressed:
- What moves for Landorus
- Should I keep Toxapex?
- What nature for Fini?
- I peaked 1241 With this team. I am also a noob. Is the peak low because of my skills or the teams faults?
- Is the team too passive?
