Sup dudes this is my second ever RMT! To check out my first one click here noobs. If you want to find me check PS in the following rooms CAP, Health and Fitness, or PU.
THE PROCESS
To start off my first ever SM OU team I knew I wanted to use Mega Scizor. I had never really touched it in ORAS and I thought now would be the perfect time to use it. Scizor has always had me interested but I just never really like how it was played in ORAS OU due to Talonflame. I decided that instead of using Bulky Pivot Scizor that Dancing Scizor would be the most fun option.
Next I added Landorus-Therian. The reason for this was because I knew that Mega Venusaur was running rampant on ladder and Scizor needed a buddy to take it out. Landorus-Therian was not only the best option for this but it also took out the likes of Heatran and other Steel types that cause Scizor problems like Mega Metagross.
In order for Scizor and Landorus-Therian to do their dancing and destroying, certain threats had to be stopped. I chose Dugtrio for this role because traps and efficiently KO's opposing threats. Dugtrio is also extremely fast and has access to Memento which not only allows it to gain momentum but also gives Scizor or Landorus-Therian a chance to set up.
I knew I now needed a Pokemon that pressured physically Offensive Pokemon as well as provided my team with a solid pivot. Tangrowth was the best Pokemon to do so with Regenerator at its disposal and large base Defense stat of 125. Tangrowth was sort of a no brainer on this one.
In order for Dugtrio to work properly a Hazard Remover was needed. My first thought was Tornadus-Therian as it provides this team more speed and can pivot into Special Attacks. I then realized that this team could be easily crippled by status. Tapu Fini was the best option in this case and it also doubles as a stall breaker with the use of Taunt.
Finally I noticed a large Tapu Koko weakness that needed to be covered. I decided to go with Alola Marowak because not only is it amazing but it can also force quite a bit of switches. Alola Marowak switches into Tapu Koko without even thinking about.

THE TEAM
Scissors (Scizor) (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 60 Def / 124 SpD / 60 Spe
Adamant Nature
Scizor plays a big part on the team as it picks up a lot of KOs at +2 attack. Scizor is also able to switch in on physical attacks it resists with its great defensive typing. Scizor is also extremely fun to use and is the whole reason why I decided to make this RMT in the first place.
Dancing Doggo (Landorus-Therian) @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Landorus-Therian is a huge part of this team with how common Mega Venusaur is now on the ladder and in Tournaments. Its also very easy to set up with as it almost always forces a switch. Landorus-Therian is able to switch into most physical attacks due to its ability Intimidate and its mediocre 90 base defense.
Trap Card (Dugtrio) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Arena Trap
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Dugtrio is so much fun to use. Watching the opposing pokemon get destroyed by Earthquake or Reversal is simply amazing. Not only this but Momento allows Scizor or Landorus-Therian to come in and get a free Swords Dance in.
FAT (Tangrowth) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 244 HP / 216 Def / 48 SpD
Relaxed Nature
Tangrowth is so fat and I think RU for giving him to OU during ORAS. Tangrowth is probably my favorite pokemon that has access to Regenerator and this is because of its base Defense stat of 125. It eats almost any physical attack you throw at it and this is what makes it great.
The Dutchess (Tapu Fini) @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 16 SpD / 52 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
Tapu Fini is largely underestimated in my eyes. It is great Defensively with a nice typing and a bulk of 70/115/130. Its ability comes in handy when stopping Tapu Lele's terrain and stopping status users from crippling the team. Because of these factors Tapu Fini works extremely well with this team.
Mr. HitMan (Marowak-Alola) (M) @ Thick Club
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
Marowak-Alola is huge on this team as it switches in on Tapu Koko and says "Fuck You." Marowak-Alola is not only good for this but with it's great attack stat and its item it allows to break through potential walls. Not only this but but it is decent defensively with a great typing and a "bulk" of 60/110/80.
CONCLUSION
The only reason why I decided to make this RMT today is because I love how fun this team is and I want others to enjoy it just as much as I did.
