This is my first team posted in an RMT, I'm open to criticism I've done quite well with this team and hope that other members can contribute to it and use to for some fun laddering!
Altaria (M) @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 20 Def / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Roost
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
Mega Altaria is a fat fluffy mess and it works wonders in ou with the proper support, with its spread its able to setup easily on a lot of threats in ou such as rotom, lati@s, gliscor, keldeo etc. Our cloud friend is unfortunately walled by a few things in the ou tier like heatran and ferrothorn, this team is designed to limit switch ins to altaria and prepare it to sweep.
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 224 HP / 236 Def / 48 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
Next we have the most overused mon in the tier, and for good reason. Landorus-t is a fantastic utility mon, its a good switch in to bird spam and has hazard and pivot utility. spread is mainly just to outspeed most rotoms
Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpD / 12 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Scald
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
Empoleon was chosen because i needed a mon that was similar to heatran but i wanted a defogger, heatran also has a difficult time retaliating against talonflame so empoleon was a good fit as this team suffers against bird spam. Roar is there to simply phase out setup mons or things like kyurem-b or gyarados trying to get behind a free sub.
Slowbro @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Psyshock
- Flamethrower
Next i needed a sure switch into heatran, something i could switch into it over and over while also being able to switch into ferrothorns not running power whip. Bulky AV slowbro checks a lot of threats in ou being bulky on both special defence and physical defence it can switch into metagross as well which is one of altarias biggest threats.
Victini @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- Zen Headbutt
- U-turn
Victini serves a niche roll in the team as its bulky enough to comfortably switch into fairies that this team normally has a problem with, v-create punches holes into fairies like clefable and also serves to remove ferrothorn which normally walls altaria. I'm running an adamant nature because it allows it OHKO life orb landorus after rocks which is normally a huge threat to this team.
Shaymin @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Aromatherapy
- Healing Wish
This little guy is a big surprise to most teams, i needed a utility mon the preformed like lati@s but i didn't need a defogger and i didn't need another mon walled by heatran. Seed flare hits like a truck with a life orb, earth power is to hit heatran and aromatherapy is for when i have several mons statused or i don't want to waste my healing wish yet. as both of my walls rely on leftovers for recovery healing wish is a great way to bring my walls back to full hp or heal another one of my mons, healing wish provides a safety net for a lot of my team members that have limited switch ins
