I tried making a team centered around a surprisingly good OU threat: Victini!
EXPLANATION:
Victini's the star here, duh! It has surprisingly good stats from speed to attacks to bulk. I decided to go for an Assault Vest set with the basic elemental coverage that covers for a lot of common OU threats such as Dragapult, Dragonite, Toxapex, etc. When I tested the team on ladder, Victini usually survived for a long time and was more of a pivot / mid-game sweeper. YOu would be surprised to see how much it can do!
Swampert's gonna be your first possible lead and defensive pivot. It's another Specially Defensive wall that can quickly be used to pivot in and keep momentum, spread rocks, spread Toxic, etc. Swampert can really ruin your opponent's tactics with pivots, momentum switches, and Toxic spread.
Clefable is gonna be the third specially defensive wall (last one I promise.) Its EV spread has been made simply to survive a couple hits, maybe pivot in another member or strike back with Moonblast. One thing I noted is that it works very well with Victini, being able to Heal Bell a Toxic or Paralysis or knock out a Dark Type. This is your team's Cleric, all around support.
Ferrothorn will be your Defensive wall, and cause havoc and make your opponent think on their feet by taking away their items, setting up Hazards, or going for a Body Press. This Mon doesn't really have any hidden talent, it just does one or two things and it does them well.
Zapdos is the fabled Hazard Control! It will also act as a revenge killer with Heat Wave and keep momentum with Volt Switch. Clefable pairs well with Victini, but the momentum you could have with the fast revenger Zapdos, Hazard and Status spreader Swampert, and Cleric Clefable is unreal. They all cover each other's weaknesses and most importantly: KEEP MOMENTUM!!
Mew was the last mon I added, my team was fine with 5 pokemon, but I feel like having Mew as a setup physical sweeper really completes this team. One Dragon Dance outspeeds the whole OU unscarfed metagame (aside from Regieleki) which is a quality that I really like.
I'm not the best at teambuilding, so if there's anything I should add or any glaring weakness, feel free to tell me!!
