So around when the first BW came out I tried to get into competitive battling. I failed pretty hard. But I'm back. and this time I'm really going to try and make a formidable team.
I'm new so I might be missing some parts of the team and of the meta game. I'm kind of coming in blind hoping for some help with the meta.
Team at a glance
Build process
With the little I know I have noticed that weather (Rain in particular) is prevalent in the DW OU meta. So I wanted to make a team that can fight against that. So without drowning in the weather teams myself I have to pick some types that can resist them and fight back. So I first added a Rotom-W with HP Grass to fight the water on two fronts.
Ahh... Something with Bulk. :) Awesome. Now I do need to get offensive. Well I know Genesect has amazing coverage moves. So lets give him a slot.
Now I have two Special attackers. I should look at a physical attacker. I've always had a soft spot for Technician Breloom.
Now the team is look decent. I do notice the meta is full of Dragons. Some teams running two or three. And while Genesect does help he is slower than Salamence, Garchomp, and Latios. The three most used ones. So I went for something faster. So I picked a Revenge killer Jolteon with a HP Ice to get the dragons.
So all seems well. I do need to get a bulky defense in here. Metagross fits the bill.
I feel weak to a Sun team now... And I'm missing hazard support. Lets go with a Starmie.
Closer looks
Genesect W/ Choice Scarf
Download
Hasty
EV: 126 Atk / 126 SpA / 252 Spd
U-Turn
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
So just to scout out a few of my opponents pokes. FlameBoltBream to add max coverage and gives me a few tools to fight to the end since he can't last long in a real fight. The EV spread is really bad. I need to get that fixed. But it was an initial idea.
Breloom W/ Life Orb
Technician
Jolly
EV: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Spore
Sword Dance
Mach Punch
Bullet Seed
Soooo yeah... Simple Breloom. Can finish off a few pokes laying around in the end game.
Jolteon W/ Air Balloon
Volt Absorb
Modest
EV: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spd
HP Ice
Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
Hidden Power Grass

Amazing Rotom. When I first started looking at this Rotom it seemed strange. But the more I've thought about it the more amazing it is.
Metagross W/ Choice Band
Clear Body
Adamant
EV: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 132 SpD
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
Bullet Punch
My bulky steel type that trys to clean house.
Starmie W/ Shed Shell

My main spinner. Meant to try and keep the field clean.
Ok so this team is a REAL work in progress. I'll be honest and say I haven't tested it much. But Over the next few days I'm going to try it out. If you guys have ANY idea on how to fix this I would appreciate it.
