ORAS OU Mega Altaria HO

[roguellama]

YO~ This is my second RMT! Decided to scrap my previous one due to a number of issues, and ended up with this nice team! Well, actually it's not nice. I've lost most battles with this one. That's where i need YOUR help! Thanks!

Altaria-Mega @ Altarianite
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
This was my first chosen Mon as it is absolutely terrifying after a DD. It kills a lot of giant threats like Mega Loppuny, Dragonite, Latios, and much more. He's not too fast, but a DD helps that out a lot. EQ Kills things like flash cannon Heatran.

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Iron Head
- Spikes
My hazard setter, not much to say here. I simply set up rocks, spikes if i get lucky, then let him go down. If Arceus lets me set up rocks and 1-2 layers of spikes, i leech seed which generally forces a switch soon.
Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Knock Off
Nothing special here. Same cookie cutter Scizor set most use. Bullet Punch for priority, and 60 power with Technician. U-Turn for damaging switch, knock off for chansey, superpower for coverage. Kills most that doesn't resist it.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Substitute
- Will-O-Wisp
Yep, we had a bad fire weakness. Heatran was the best choice, and he's a defensive one. Wisp cripples sweepers like Scizor, Azumarill, Dragonite, and more. Sub lets me reliably get a burn off on things. Earth Power and Fire Blast for coverage and STAB.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Superpower
- Knock Off
Thought that our big fire weakness needed help, so here comes Pikablu. Not much to say, pretty standard set for Azumarill. Priority, STAB, Rek'd, and takes of items. Move along, nothing else to say here.

Serperior @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Leaf Storm
- Giga Drain
hey lets add to that fire weakness Serperior is a monster. A 130 BP move that raises Sp Attack by 2 each time? Amazing! Dragon Pulse takes out some dragons (does it really now), HP fire kills the many steel types like Scizor, Giga drain regains health.


Thanks so much for reading! I really need help perfecting this team!

Gyro Ball>Iron head on Ferrothorn. It hits harder against everything but the slowest of targets. Naturally, you'll want 0 speed IVs on Ferro if you choose to do this. Most slow stuff like slow ro will take pitiful damage from iron head anyway. Gyro ball gives it a great way to hit fast targets like Mlop, Alakazam, and even Not super fast stuff like Lando-t and Hoopa-U. Other than that, looks pretty good!

Hello, really nice team however it have some flaws but don't worry i'll try to fix them for you.

Bisharp, is one of the biggest threat for your team since you don't really have an good check to it or an effective revenge killer to it (because of Sucker Punch, its hard to revenge kill him safely), Zard-X is a really huge problem to the team since you don't have an Landorus-T which can stop him from the sweep or an Prankster Thunder-Wave user which can save you against him, Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Scizor, which are main counter to your M-Altaria, can't be lured effectively on this team since Serperior can't really lure since Hidden Power Fire is the most common and used Hidden Power on him.

I'd recommend to use Landorus-T over Heatran, Landorus-T will help you against many physical attacker like M-Gross, M-Lopunny , Hoopa-U and mainly Charizard-X, he will still work as decent stealth rocker.

I don't like the use of Ferrothorn in an Hyper Offensive team; its too passive on the team and will not pressure the opponent so yeah its not the best choice on these kind of teams, i can suggest the use of Scarf Magnezone over him, Magnezone, is like the mandatory mate for M-Altaria(DD without Fire Blast) since it can trap effectively steel type which annoy M-Altaria, Scarf allow him to revenge kill some M-Altaria variant, Manaphy and M-Pinsir. It also work as solid Flying resistence since you are using Serperior you will most of time have problem with Tornadus-T.

You still have problem with Bisharp, i'd suggest to use Breloom over Scizor, Scizor doesn't have really too much utility on this team in my opinion (Magnezone check fairy ect ...), Breloom can check effectively Bisharp and can one of the opposing mon asleep with Spore, which is really good.


A Timid nature is prefered on Serperior since it allow you to outspeed 115 BS Speed mon (Raikou, Starmie for exemple).
