SS OU My 1st RMT Since Gen 4 (Coming Back)

Hello all;
I have not played competitively since Gen 4 but the new games have peaked my interest for battling again.

Dracozolt @ Assault Vest(testing CB)
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 250 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bolt Beak
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
So, 1st up is Dracozolt. I first caught a glimpse of this set through blunder youtube. I thought why not i super like AV Goodra back when it was good so i said why not try it on Dracozolt and see how it fare. As for moveset Bolt Beak cause why not his best move, Dragon Claw for stab, EQ for coverage and fire fang so were not completely walled by steels

Duraludon @ Eject Pack
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
Next up Duraludon, So this mon was actually not even part of the team till last minute. I like is ability to deal with most fairys that actually are a threat to Drazozolt. I mean they have the same Ice Weakness so they dont cover each othe perfectly but it does the job. I also chose him to be my rocker cause it keep up with the flow of the team. Stealth Rock for hazards Draco and Flash for stab and TBolt for coverage. Also, Ejecr pack to keep momentum.

Milotic @ Flame Orb
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Recover
- Haze
- Ice Beam
- Scald
Milotic, ahh this Mon was since Gen 4 has always been good at least to my knowledge. Also, i dont want to use Seismitoad because Swampert will never lose it spot in my heart lol. As for the this Mon Recover and Scald cause it standard on her, Haze so it not super setup fodder, and Ice Beam for coverage against dragons

Corviknight @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 244 HP / 52 Def / 76 SpD / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog
Corviknight was actually the second option on this team cause this pokemon actually help Dracozolt out tremedously covering it weakness to ground, I was gonna use him as my taunter but i feel failed tremendously cause to slower then most Rocker and status users so i went with the defog set to get rid of hazards. So Brave Bird, Roost and Defog because standard on Corviknght Defog set. and U-Turn to piviot. So the Ev spread cause I know its gonna come up so this was an old Gliscor set that ive always liked so i tried it on this pokemon so far so good.

Orbeetle @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 248 HP / 92 Def / 168 Spe
Impish Nature
- Sticky Web
- Trick
- U-turn
- Body Press
Orbeetle, came in as a way to help the team out not being as fast as most team and slowing things down for the whole team to seem fast cause were all pretty Bulky. I saw this set on the QC and i said this thing gets trick so its not super obvious going for first turn Stick web you can switch it up and Trick troublesome Mons. Stick Web and Trick Obvious move on one of the more reliable stick web users. U-Turn to pivot and Body Press to deal with Ferrathorn and Drill

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- U-turn
- Outrage
- Flamethrower
- Earthquake
Last, but not least Flygon, also another pokemon since Gen 4 that has never really let me down also a very potent revenge killer. I Think this set is pretty standard so no need to really go into moveset choices

:dracozolt: I didn't really understand the strategy behind dragon tail, it's a really unreliable move(fairy immunity + 90 acc and hustle).You could switch it for fire fang for coverage for darms and corviknights. The AV is also kinda not worth it, also because the principal offensive in OU is physical and not special and dracozolt's sp. def is nothing special. Switch it for a choice scarf/band or for a blunder policy if you are feeling creative.
:duraludon: You should switch it for an excadril :excadrill:l it's got the steel STAB, the sr and an ability with the same effect (plus ground STAB) use it with a focus sash
:milotic: If you are running dragon breath because of paralysis you should switch it for body slam, but i think you should get ice beam. Another status condition you could inflict instead of paraysis is sleep with hypnosis but be aware of the sleep clause
:orbeetle: change it up for rotom-heat :rotom-heat: also with a choice scarf, with a switch-in move (volt-switch) ,with trick, and who also hits ferro and exca hard(with overheat).Sticky web is really hard to set up because of the inclusion of hazard control in almost every team, give rotom will-o-wisp instead.

So, id rather not run drill as for the fact this just turn my team into a standard OU team. So, after a bit of testing i did change Dragon Tail for Fire Fang just hadn't updated it also i tried blunder policy but when forced to switch it just worthless and ill try a Bulky Band Dracozolt. Yeah, really justed wanted the chance to para on is the reason i chose DB. As for rotom heat what benifits does he offer over orbeetle outside of being scarfed with volt switch?

Rotom-h gets a STAB fire type move which will one shot corviknight, ferrothorn, (non focus sash) exca and some other tanks, specially steel types. Also it can't be one shot by a darmanitan-g, so it's a great counter for him.
