Hi RMT! I'm here for my .5k because I'm an unoriginal fuckhead, and today I present to you a highly successful meme team, and credit to pokemonomekop and C9 DRM2K where it is due. I cannot stand to ladder because it bores the FUCK outta me but ive won a ton of room tours wiht this team and have some great replays at the end for your enjoyment. Seriously, watch them, unlike most teams these replays are actually interesting! This is probably the funnest team I've ever used.

Let me just add now that this quality isn't always great, because I struggled to find time to post this and idc really about getting a meme team to a great standard in quality.

Teambuilding Process:
Who needs a teambuilding process when you're a god? Just throw the coolest things onto a team and win, thats how you build in ORAS.


Now, onto the team!

Victini @ Expert Belt
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 112 Atk / 144 SpA / 252 Spe
Rash Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- Glaciate
- Energy Ball

You may say dedicated leads are a bad idea. You may say they belong in previous gens. You may say Victini is a shit dedicated lead even as far as they go, as it has no rocks, nothing to gain momentum, or any other good factors. If you say any of those things, you are right! But it is still incredibly consistent. It has a (calculated) 1.7 kd, which is great for Pokemon. It lures Garchomp and Lando-T in so so easily. So easily. Energy ball also does a good amount to Tyranitar, which is great because fuck Pursuit. Bolt strike is replaceable I guess, but nothing Victini has really touches Heatran, who is the biggest set counter, so who cares o.o but if you do have a move suggestion I'm all ears. The EVs are just to split the offenses, with max Speed EVs bcz Sanic. Seriously though, Ebelt Victini is such an underrated threat. It has ridiculously few safe switchins. Such great SE coverage. I wish people used it more. It threatens so many builds.

Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Electric]

SSTandard SpecsDEooo set, tbh. Nothing innovated here. Most people only run HP Electric on Choice Scarf, but I don't appreciate letting Azumarill come in for free, because the team is very weak to it. In fact, this is one of my Keldeo checks, that is how weak I am to it lol. I really just love Specs Keldeo because it has just about 0 safe switch-ins. Sure, there's stuff like Celebi, but it takes 30-40% from a hydro, its not coming in repeatedly. Same goes for every other check besides like CM Slowking. It may not be meme, but hey, sometimes even I stoop so low as to use a standard set.

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Thunder Wave

Gotta love this guy. In team preview, people always assume this is Mega Zam (insert Zamrock meme here), because Mega Latios isn't really a thing, and sashakazam is really meh. Unless you are me of course! As a bluff it works great. Checks any setup sweeper, and with amazing coverage and power can usually reliably RKO (revenge KO) them. Thunder Wave is for dealing with DDers, and for dealing with whatever Zam can't KO (allowing a teammate to deal with them). It also has a really high IQ and helps me with my math homework, its a great utility mon.

Bisharp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 228 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge

Definitely the weak point of the team. This Pokemon was only able to perform well in a limited amount of the games, and was often just sacking fodder. Tbh it could be replaced with a Keldeo check, maybe Toxicroak? SR because having emergency SR if I see like Volcarona or some shit in team preview is nice, Stone Edge for stuff like that and Talonflame. Knock Off is Knock Off, and Pursuit because Pursuit trapping is fun! Really though, this thing is so bad. Setup bait, hazard removing bait, etc. This is the only Pokemon with 5 sprites for a reason! For people suggesting things for the team, this is the Pokemon to replace.

Kyurem-Black @ Choice Band
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Fusion Bolt
- Toxic
- Iron Head

Bada boom bada bing. You would not believe how stupidly good this is. It threatens to 2HKO a fair number of resists with Outrage. Fusion Bolt and Iron Head are good for like Skarmory, Azumarill, more fairies in general but really Outrage is a great option most of the time. Toxic is for stupidly fat stuff or for like Wobb. And you can often successfully bluff Choice Scarf, which is excellent. Having a Dragon that isn't my wincon is great for absorbing things like +4 Azu AJ's and stuff like that.

Latios @ Latiosite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Earthquake

I honestly don't get why this is so unviable. It isn't worn down by Life Orb. It takes Knock Off wayy better. It does get slightly better bulk. It is still stupid powerful, to the point that it OHKO's full bulk Lando-T at +1 with Outrage. This thing is actually so great. The best part? It gets sooo many setup opps. I haven't met an opponent yet who hasn't predicted special and switched into something to check Psychock/Draco, only to be swept. Hidden Power Fire is where the layered lures come in. People see me drop a DD, so the obvious reaction is that Scizor walls me, right? WRONG MOTHERFUCKER! This has bopped so many Scizors its uncanny, which is excellent because Scizor is one of the biggest threats to the team. If it wasn't lured in, it would be a big problem. The EVs are just for the maximum power posssible (without +atk you miss out on a lot such as the ohko on lando-t). HP Fire doesn't need much because Scizor drops anyways.



Replays:
Overall this team is excellent. I know it looks like a meme, but there are results. Here are some replays against actual good OU players that showcase this teams effectiveness. You can't dispute facts, despite people's views on viability of sets, and this makes a big statement about "standard" sets. I know they are all from the past couple days, but I didn't save any replays previously and I have only dropped 1 game with this team ever.

The RMT community is obviously my most active one now. It's the one I enjoy the most, and it is the first one where I have no problems with a single person in it. In particular, I'd like to shoutout these people.

Yagura is the guy that made me want to become active in RMT in the first place. A moroccan fuckboy, but a v chill gay.

lol c9 drm2k and I basically built this team as a joke, and I threw it away later because I thought it was garb
Like the teambuilding process here seems like it's fake, but it was literally our thought process ._.

energy ball is really really nice to 2KO hippowdon and blow back rotom W. The more I think about it the more I like brick break over bolt strike, even though blowing back spDef bulky waters is quite nice too
tbh toxic on kube wasn't really meant for anything since nothing takes that hit. you could try hp fire for ferros or excas, but idk
was debating using icy wind over electric on keldeo, but I'm like w/e. It does help with azus occasionally, so good enough I guess. Definitely use icy wind as a slash though.

Can't find an alternative to bish, trying so freaking hard tho .-.

Thanks for posting the team and actually getting results, this team is the heatest team in the game tbh js ngl.
 
Really cool team. Might seem like a joke team at first, but it's a pretty impressive one. This is my first rate, so if it sucks, then you can kill me for it. :^)

The only change I would make is to Bisharp. Since you mentioned Bisharp barely does anything, I think a Keldeo check would be a good thing to replace it. Your best bet here would probably be Celebi. Also, considering the theme of this team being surprises, I'd go with a physical Celebi over a special/defensive one. Since this Celebi set also packs U-Turn, it can help pack momentum to the team with offensive pressure; however, Baton Pass is also an option for passing boosts, namely to Kyurem-B. If you really need hazards, Stealth Rock is another option.

This team is straight garb. If you wanna salvage this to make it at least somewhat usable, you should run offensive air balloon Taunt heatran with stealth rock over bisharp. It checks fairies and gives you something to deal with clefable better, esp since the current bisharp set u use will be locked into knock off most of the time. Just be sure to run flash cannon

Now to make it so that your keldeo check doesn't become useless after it switches into scald, you should run starmie over Zam. You lose speed but now you have a scald switch in. Offensive with spin / psychic / Hydro / recover with natural cure would work decently, esp since many teams try to deal with starmie via priority t wave and LO stalling. Kyubes can also switch in a lot more now so that's a thing. Just watch out for pursuiters

I won't post the sets cuz ur obviously better than I am based on that replay you have. Hopefully I've salvaged this team enough to make it usable

replays are up for anyone interested

ur obviously better than I am

sounds fun, ill try it. ty.


Fuck the team, the RMT presentation is garbage. Fucking fix this you terrible little shit the writing flows like a 10 year old scribbling.

I'll actually give this a serious rate later, mostly because victini lead is hype.
you are 10, you would know.


Run Brick break > energy ball for ttar on victini (and heatran too)
i tried that, but i missed bolt strike to hit zardy n stuff. its definitely a valid option though.
