SM OU My First Competitive Team

Can anyone give me some pointers on my team? :mad: Thanks for any and all help!

Bewear @ Assault Vest
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Hammer Arm
- Double-Edge

I wanted a Beware who would have a lot of coverage. I decided against the choice band cause my tapu bulu is holding one. I have a mega salamence I sub out with it based on if mega mons are allowed in the play style I'm using. I use it with Tapu Bulu for a strong offensive mix.

Tapu Bulu @ Choice Band
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Horn Leech
- Megahorn
- Superpower

My goal with tapu bulu was to create a consistent attacker. Word hammer is my go to move. Unfortunately due to the choice band its easily taken down by speedy fire types like salazzle who is unexpectedly common in competitive play. May try other tapus. My team is very full of physical attackers like this one. To easily sweeped by mons like Alakazam.

Minior @ White Herb
Ability: Shields Down
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Stone Edge
- Shell Smash
- Explosion

I love being able to explode if things aren't looking good for Minior. Very deadly offensively. Plus just a fun Mon to use. Works well with kartana for a strong sweeping duo.

Kartana @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sacred Sword
- Leaf Blade
- X-Scissor

I went for adamant over jolly. Maybe dumb but works well for me. The Life Orb boosted attack is scary strong. It can 2HKO 80% of mons I say. Special defense is trash though so my idea of trying an assault vest is out of the question.

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Baneful Bunker
- Recover
- Toxic

Every one is like "You are using toxipex wrong!" But this moveset has proved great for me! It's super stally. Just toxic and recover / baneful bunker your way to victory.

Mimikyu @ Focus Sash
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Shadow Claw
- Shadow Sneak

My only gripe is play rough always missing when I need it most! In the battle tree it misses 40% of the time I'd say. Just my luck. The focus slash works well as it gets 1HKOed often it seems.

good team overall although i would personally use a jolly kartana because 181 base attack is enough to destroy everything, minior too after a shell smash but still up to you, adamants still a good nature.

I would use a jolly kartana but I made the mistake of not SRing the ubs. So adamant is the best I got.
