ORAS OU M-Sceptile Carrying Those All Mons (MAX +1480)

At first, I must say - sorry for bad English. I'm not from England/USA at all, so I've got some problems with it. Thanks to guys from RMT and Competetive Teambuilding rooms!
I'M VERY NEW TO RMT.

M-SCEPTILE CARRYING THOSE ALL MONS
based on my own experiences
I am average at teambuilding, but I love to test megas. So I decided to pick a mega with medium usage in OU - M-Sceptile. Trust me, I was suprised of his power.

So, as You see, there's my squad.
Unfortunately, my actual rating is lower than 1480 :(( So sad, though.

Sceptile-Mega was kinda underrated in my opinion. Even if he has too much Sp.Atk and Speed over the OU average, he has 4x ICE weakness. But, while I was forming this team, I choosed Sceptile-Mega, because I had nothing to risk. My opinion about him has really changed. He gave me so much fun while winning and cleaning those enemy mons and carrying my mons :)

But, the biggest problem I've had with playing him was Weavile. She has Ice Shard, which hits hard (OHKOs Scep). She's also good cleaner, that I was scared about like every match. She wasn't very common, but even if she wasn't, I scaried at the very beggining of the matchmaking "Gosh, another Weavile?" - seriously, you don't wanna play vs him/her. Even if you have Rotom-W and Heatran.
Another problem was Heatran. If I miss Focus Blast one time, it's hard to deal with him. Focus Blast OHKOs him in 90% of the situations, but I had some exceptions (which I didn't enjoy btw.) - but I've changed something, and it seemed to work.

The Mega wasn't changed, I tried to play M-Scizor, and M-Metagross. I like them, because they have so much utility, but I hadn't felt comfortable playing them. So the only thing that has changed in my Sceptile was his moveset:

From:
Giga Drain | Focus Blast | Dragon Pulse | Subsitute

To:
EQ | Dragon Pulse | HP Fire | Leaf Storm

EQ hits Heatrans so hard, has 100% hit chance, so I prefered it over the Focus Blast. Dragon Pulse is STAB move, which hit OU dragons very hard. 85 BP seems kinda nice, and it has only one immunity, and only one resistance. Feels really good man.
Leaf Storm did a lot of good work. It allows to OHKO/2HKO some pokemon, that Energy Ball doesn't, or may not allow. For example:

vs Tanky def Clefable

252 SpA Mega Sceptile Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Clefable: 252-297 (63.9 - 75.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Energy Ball vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Clefable: 174-205 (44.1 - 52%) -- 14.8% chance to 2HKO

vs Scarfed Lando-T

252 SpA Mega Sceptile Leaf Storm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 277-327 (86.8 - 102.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 192-226 (60.1 - 70.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

vs switch-in All-Out Attacker Weavile

252 SpA Mega Sceptile Leaf Storm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Weavile: 262-310 (93.2 - 110.3%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Weavile: 183-216 (65.1 - 76.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Hidden Power Fire vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Weavile: 162-192 (57.6 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So yeah.

==========

As next pokemon, here goes Heatran.
The first Fire-type mon, which I had in my team was Talonflame. He hit really hard, but he had some weaknesses, e.g. Stealth Rocks, Tankchomp. So that's why I changed him into Heatran, stallbreaker version. He breaks stall very effectively, and OHKOs/2HKOs most switch-ins. He's fast and he kills Scizor, Magnezone. Has Flash Fire, can bait some mons.

Talonflame had a good synergy with M-Sceptile. Was able to kill Weavile, Keldeo, that were danger to M-Sceptile. Now, even if I don't have Tflame, Heatran does a good job as well. He traps. We don't need anything more, do we?

From:
Offensive Talonflame

To:
Stallbreaker Heatran

==========

Latios
I needed offensive defogger. So the first idea was Latios. I definetely love this mon! Nice OU threat, has some utility: can be Defogger/CM/LO/Scarf Lure - he can be used in different ways! He does a lot in my team. OHKOs unprepared mons with D-Meteor, kills Chanseys/Clefables with Psyshock, baits Heatrans with Surf, removes hazards. The only thing that I've changed in it was EQ. Even if EQ was good, I didn't use it. So I decided to take Surf, which hits hard, and it's SPatk move.

From:
EQ

To:
Surf

==========

Clefable
At first look, it's suprising that it's in S tier in OU. Average defenses, fairy typing leaves her alone to common OU steel-type mons, such as Bisharp, Magnezone, M-Metagross, but don't be suprised when Clefable sweeps you! She's a nice mon, which can be used as a Unaware Tank, Cleric, CM Tank. Even if she's got average defenses, she's allowed to take some hard hitting mons. At first, I used her as a Unaware Tank-Cleric, because I really needed Cleric. Now, I changed her set, she's a Tanky Def Clefable, and she's doing much better.

From:
Unaware Tank

To:
Tanky Def

==========

Rotom-Wash
Classic mon in OU metagame, nothing to say more about it. My set is classic, nothing new. Running that, because of good VoltTurn synergy with Lando + taking SpAtk attacks. Mon, that was before: AV Raikou

From:
AV Raikou

To:
Rotom-Wash

==========

Landorus-T
I didn't have a hazard setter! Gosh, I've forgotten about it!!
I had Physical Wall Porygon2, so I took another physical wall. It was named Landorus-T, very dangerous kitten. He tanks so much hits, has a great VoltTurn synergy with Rotom-Wash, takes Atk hits and sets hazard very good. Even tanks some Ice Punches, Ice beams.

From:
Porygon2

To:
Landorus-T

Sorry, if I've done some mistakes in TEAMBUILDING part, I'm new to RMT.

My squad:

633088fe6b5bee459b96eb25f773f5e2.jpg


Dino (Sceptile) @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]

As I said above, in teambuilding, I didn't think about Sceptile-Mega for real. But, when I picked it, I loved it! It's just too great, has too much power, STAB Leaf Storm is lovely! Has a 300% chance to OHKO Rotom-W with Leaf Storm. Hidden Power Fire is to coverage some common steel OU mons, such as Skarmory, Scizor, or Ferrothorn. While trying to kill Scizor - be careful. He may OHKO you with Bug Bite/U-Turn. Also his Bullet Punch sux, cause it deals too much to Sceptile.

In every variant

44 Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 121-144 (43 - 51.2%) -- 5.9% chance to 2HKO (You're going to 2HKO him, so it'll be hard to do with only Sceptile)

252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bug Bite vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 458-540 (162.9 - 192.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO (You just take Lando-T)

252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 153-180 (54.4 - 64%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Same thing in this case)

You also hate Weavile and Bisharp.

252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 411-489 (146.2 - 174%) -- guaranteed OHKO
buut
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Leaf Storm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Weavile: 262-310 (93.2 - 110.3%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
:)

252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 211-250 (75 - 88.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 211-250 (75 - 88.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

The only thing to deal with him is HP Fire

252 SpA Mega Sceptile Hidden Power Fire vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 192-226 (70.8 - 83.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Always remember to have Lando-T ON vs Scizor-M (Not for Bish/Weavile!!! - Bish has Defiant, Weavile has Ice Shard).
As I said, be careful, and you'll be OK. Imo, one of the most underrated mega-evos in OU.
Ouch, another thing: You must remember about his 372 speed in mega-evolving turn.

Roar! (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Toxic

Heatran is a really, really nice stallbreaker. Magma Storm+Toxic deals a lot of damage, while Taunt prevents stall from... just stalling. Earth Power is for another Heatran, Max Spe EVs to deal with Scizor and other Heatran builds. He traps really effectively, but as many mons, he has some weaknesses. Earthquake/any other GROUND attack. Ok, that can be countered with any Levitate/Flying mon. Bisharp. He's like a pure cancer mon. After boosting, he OHKOes/2HKOes almost every fckin' mon. It's just too annoying, and I don't have any idea how to deal with it. Even Bisharp weaknesses, he OHKOes it with Magma Storm. But you must be careful about boosted version of this knight. He's scary, has a priority, and he's immune to Toxic. Just land the Magma Storm, trap them and break the stall!

252 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 440-518 (162.3 - 191.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Heatran Earth Power vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Bisharp: 264-312 (97.4 - 115.1%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 157-187 (48.6 - 57.8%) -- 55.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (+2 is OHKO)
252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 191-226 (59.1 - 69.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (+2 is just OHKO)

Power! (Latios) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Surf
- Defog

Damage dealer: just cleaning here, boss!
Latios is a killer. He hits hard with STAB Draco Meteor, deals a nice DMG with Psyshock and surfs. Nice hazard remover, as it's fast (average OU speed seems nice) - kills Keldeo, deals with Gengar. Unfortunately, he's another mon, which is weak to Bisharp!! I just hate Bisharp!! However, he's weak to every Pursuit and Knock Off... He depends on physical tank so much. Even that, he has a nice bulk 80 / 80 / 110, allowing him to take some hits :)

Tinky Tinky (Clefable) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Thunder Wave
- Heal Bell

Good cleric. Clefable is very solid mon, which stands on the highest OU level. The ways of her usage aren't normal, although she isn't very strong as an attacker. So that's why everyone makes her tank. Her bulk is just solid, T-Wave deals with high-speed pokemons, Heal Bell is a completion of my team, removes Burn, Poison etc. Moonblast is an annoying move - I sweeped some teams with only Clefable! Soft-Boiled gives her a heal, which is very needed now. Even if she's fairy, and Bisharp doesn't deal so much to her with his dark-type attacks. HE STILL HAS AN IRON ATTACK - IRON HEAD!!!!
Why is Bisharp so great?? Idk, but play her correctly, and you can kill almost everyone. ALMOST.

I Luv H1m (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split

Simply Rotom-Wash. This machine is so overused in OU. One of the best pivots here, kinda good 50 / 107 / 107 bulk lets him tank Azu, Tflame, Lando-T. Even if he tanks these mons, he's weak to Scarfdrill - guaranteed OHKO. Only the def set gives him a chance to live.

252 Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-W: 234-276 (77.2 - 91%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

He's very easy to fit onto every team, as he grants nice dmg, big utility, and burn. However, he has no good recovery, and it's easy to kill, because of low HP.

Cat (Landorus-Therian) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 28 SpD
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake

Landorus-T, good hazard setter. He has Intimidate, which is very needed ability in OU. Access to U-Turn+Rotom-Wash let's him multiply the Intimidate effect. He's a really good check to main physical OU mons: Loppuny-Mega, Tyranitar, Excadrill. Due to the defensive Rocky helmet+intimidate set, I am able to tank them even more. He tanks Ice Atk moves very easily, however he has problems while he "tanks" Ice beam.

252 Atk Lopunny Ice Punch vs. 248 HP / 232+ Def Landorus-T: 268-316 (70.3 - 82.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

-1 252 Atk Lopunny Ice Punch vs. 248 HP / 232+ Def Landorus-T: 180-212 (47.2 - 55.6%) -- 17.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Big threat list

Bisharp
The pokemon you don't want to handle with XD
Seriously, he's too OP. He deals so much dmg and it's too hard to counter him. With Intimidate you just add him Att. Forfeit vs him ;_;

Weavile
Big base Att, high speed makes Weavile a good late-game cleaner. It easily kills M-Sceptile, Latios, Lando-T. Fk her man.
