Hi, as stated in the topic I'm new to Pokemon showdown but had some minor succes in battle spot before. I came up with an idea to create this team afeter i realized how many OU threats are countered by M Altaria and how well ditto performed as a gap filler and revenge killer. The rest of the team tries to further check popular mons that could threat Altaria. Movesets of my team are mostly common OU archetypes. I noticed that pranksters are kinda tough to deal with. I would appreciate any help in further improving my team:
Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 168 Def / 92 SpD
Bold Nature
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power [Fire]
My choice of a physical wall, uses hp fire to counter Ferrothorn
Altaria @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Roost
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
so fireblast replaced earthquake as Altaria had problems with ferrothorn and scizor
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 168 HP / 252 SpA / 88 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
Special sweeper dealing with fairy, and steel types for Altaria
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 248 SpD / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
uJelly? (Ditto) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Transform
I don' know about higher ranks, but around elo 1400 it performs really well as revange killer as well as setuped pokemon destroyer
scarfedrly (Excadrill) @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
Stealth rock, Rapid spin provides great support, and that SpD provides somewhat reliable bulk.
Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Flamethrower
- Explosion
So after some tests it turned out to be far superior to excadrill
