SS OU My First OU Team

[Salmenella]

Toxapex @ black sludge
Ability: regenerator
EV’s: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Calm nature
- toxic spikes
- recover
- haze
- scald

I use toxapex mainly to get down the toxic spikes and will use haze and recover to stall while using scald to burn and whittle away health

Vikavolt @ leftovers
Ability: levitate
EV’s: 104 HP / 252 SpA / 152 Spe
Modest nature
-Bug buzz
-Roost
-Volt switch
-Energy ball

Vikavolt is helpful with its typing and useful for getting rid of opposing toxapexes and birds and it has survivability with roost


Garchomp @ rocky helmet
Ability: rough skin
EV’s: 252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Jolly nature
-stealth rock
-earthquake
-fire blast
-toxic

garchomp is my tank and serves as a good damage dealer with earthquake and stealth rock to add on to my toxic spikes and fire blast and toxic for dealing with grass types and fairy types

Tapu Bulu @ leftovers
Ability: grassy surge
EV’s: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Atk
Careful nature
-swords dance
-horn leech
-superpower
-protect

I use Tapu Bulu as another tank and staller and his grassy surge works really well with my kartana and swords dance is to make this tank even stronger

Kartana @ choice band
Ability: Beast Boost
EV’s: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD
Jolly nature
-leaf blade
-sacred sword
-knock off
-smart strike

Kartana is my killing machine and the grassy surge makes leaf blade to even more damage and when paired with the incredibly high damage and speed of kartana and the beast boost increasing my damage after every defeated Pokémon kartana has sweep potential

Nidoking @ life orb
Ability: sheer force
EV’s: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Timid nature
-sludge wave
-earth power
-ice beam
-substitute

Nidoking is another sweeper with great damaging potential with his poison and
Ground typing and substitute to tank a hit

First of all, the formatting can be done better. I suggest copy pasting the exact set from showdown (with capital letters and the EVs in order, it bugs me). And also consider using sprites like this to make the RMT look better.
-> :ss/pokemon-name:
-> :pokemon-name:


Next, a minor change, a but max Def is mostly used on Pex so instead of 4 EVs, make it 252 EVs in defense and give it a Bold/Impish nature.


Next, if checking Toxapex and the birds are your main goals, I suggest using Magnezone.
Specs Thunderbolt from this thing ANNIHILATES (or 2HKO maybe) Toxapex, Corviknight, and Skarmory.


Next, Rillaboom is often used instead of Tapu Bulu because it has access to priority in Grassy Glide, something this team lacks. (Grassy Terrain is actually super useful because Toxapex, Magnezone, and Nidoking are weak to Earthquake, just saying)


Lastly, to further compensate for lack of speed control, I think using Scarf over Band on Kart is the better option. Otherwise, you get 6-0ed by Specs Dragapult. At least not you can threaten (and OHKO it) with Knock Off.


These team looks good for you first OU team! Good job, and welcome to Smogon :D
