Introduction
Hey people, this was a really fun team to build and utilize in battle and I hope that you raters will take your time to read through my team and rate it accordingly. Now I will show you my team, I hope you like it.
Heatran@ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Calm
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Sp.Def / 4 HP
Moves
- Toxic
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Flash Cannon
Heatran is my lead who sets up much needed stealth rock support and this helps me to damage incoming pokemon on the switch, and also this helps me to deal more damage to the ever common presence of Talonflame. Toxic is used to gradually lower the opposing pokemon's hp and is especially damaging against common walls such as fairy types. Lava Plume is used primarily for the 30% burn chance on common physical attackers in the OU tier and this is also dishes out 4x damage to Scizor and Ferrothorn roaming around in OU to a lesser extent. Flash Cannon is a good STAB move against fairy types such as Clefable and Gardevoir.
Landorus-Therian@ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 Def
Moves
- U-Turn
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
Landorus Therian is my bulky offensive pokemon who also has a role as a pivot with the use of U-turn. U-Turn is used for momentum on the switch which is crucial in the OU tier. Earthquake is used for powerful STAB damage against the liked of Heatran if no air balloon is held. Stone Edge is used primarily for great STAB damage against the likes of Mega Pinsir, Charizard X and Y variants and Talonflame. Stealth Rock is not a preferred option because my Heatran already has it. Instead, Knock-Off and Superpower are much better alternatives since Heatran already uses stealth rocks rather well. Knock-Off is really good at disarming the opposing pokemon's held item and this is very tasty indeed against psychic and ghost types that think they can switch in on Landorus-T. Also, Superpower is another great move to use against ice types that think they have an advantage over Landorus-T because of its 4x ice type weakness. Superpower is the preferred 4th move as it can OHKO tyranitar and opposing Bisharp.
Latios@ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 4 Def
Moves
- Defog
- Psyshock
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power Fire
Latios is an essential part pokemon of this team as he can do some real damage whilst also clearing hazards. He is also very effective as a defogger which is vital with all the hazard setters in the OU tier. Psyshock is a very effective STAB move against pokemon whose defence is one of their weakest overall defence and this is works well against special walls such as Chansey and also against the troublesome Mega-Venusaur. Draco Meteor hits for powerful STAB damage and can OHKO most pokemon in the OU tier that don't resist it except for Chansey and multiscale Dragonite. Hidden Power Fire is utilised to deal 4x super effective damage against Scizor and Ferrothorn and can OHKO weak grass or ice types.
Mega-Venusaur@ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll/ Thick Fat
Nature: Modest
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Moves
- Synthesis
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
Mega Venusaur is effectively my fairy killer. All jokes aside, Mega Venusaur has established himself in the OU tier really well. Its thick fat ability makes it even harder to take down. Synthesis is for reliable recovery outside of rain, hail or sandstorm. Giga Drain is a decent STAB move against the likes of the bulky water types such as Quagsire, Swampert, Gastrodon and this OHKOs them. Mega Gyarados desn't like Giga Drain much. Sludge Bob is chosen over sludge wave as I prefer the 30% poison chance and I like hitting fairies such as Azumarill, Sylveon and Clefable much harder. Sleep Powder is opted over HP fire since I like to predict the switch and proceed to use sleep powder on the pokemon that switches in. It has won me a lot more battles doing this. Latios uses HP fire anyway.
Rotom-Wash@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 100 Speed / 156 HP
Moves
- Pain Split
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump
Rotom-Wash is famous in the OU tier for being very hard to counter when it has such a good typing and ability to boot. Rotom-Wash is another pivot pokemon who switches out with the use of Volt-Switch and switch into a hard counter against the opposing pokemon, because of this, Rotom-Wash and Landorus-Therian have great synergy between them and can counter each others weaknesses. STAB Hydro Pump is used instead of the less powerful Scald for the extra BP and it can score some much needed KOs that Scald could not. Will-O-Wisp is used for burning physical attackers thus crippling them. Volt-Switch is a decent damaging move that can gain momentum in the battle. Pain Split is used for its only means of recovery.
Bisharp@ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Moves
- Iron Head
- Knock-Off
- Sucker Punch
- Swords Dance
Bisharp is my late game sweeper. It sets up a swords dance and then proceeds to crush the opponent with its priority STAB sucker punch and STAB knock-off and iron head. Swords Dance is frightening when Bisharp uses it as its attack stat reaches very high indeed. Bisharp's ability only adds to the danger that Bisharp imposes on the opponent as Landorus-T and Gyarados cannot dare switch in as the defiant ability will only boost its attack by +1 instead of decreasing to -1. Iron Head is really nice against those annoying fairy types and can flinch. Knock-Off is used to get rid of any of the opponent's pokemon's held item except for the mega stones. Sucker Punch is for useful priority since Bisharp only sports a base 70 speed stat which is average at best.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my thorough team build. I would like to receive any help regarding my teams overall stat distribution, move sets and any other advice you can offer me.
