So after wanting to get a OU team together for quite a while I decided to finally do it .. and with some help with people I put together a team that has been working well and seems to complement each other.
The main pokemon I wanted to use, as the title gives away, was Keldeo. Why? because its cute and packs a wallop!
So with out further a do, here is the team that I have made, and have had reasonable success with on XY Wifi and Pokebattle.
The Team! - MLP! Pain Edition!
The Wall Breaker
Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
This little guy packs a massive punch! Its coverage is fantastic as well even though I sort of wish Icy Wind could be Ice Beam, but the speed drop is always nice on switch into this. Most things will get Killed if not severly dented by a Specs Max SpAttack Hydro Pump.
Usually I bring out Keldeo on a troublesome wall, or late game when it sweeps up whats left. Not uncommon for me to take out half a team and then just finish the person off with Keldeo.
HP Ghost is for coverage and Celebi that might try and come in to cause problems.
The Leader
Landorus-Therian @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
This is my lead 90% of the time. Intimidate is a great ability, U-turn out of a SpAttacker, bring in a Physical Attacker. Cause headaches and damage what ever switches in. This is also my Rocks set-upper. Because rocks destroys Talonflame that comes in to cause mayhem
Landorus is also one of my counters to Heatran, because EQ will destroy it if it switchs in. The other counter obviously being Keldeo. Lum Berry is here for any Toxic or Burns that will probably head his way. Landorus has and always will be a very good pokemon to use in a team.
The Annoyer
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 232 Def / 252 HP / 24 SDef
Bold Nature
- Lava Plume
- Protect
- Roar
- Toxic
With my Heatran I decided to invest mainly in the defensive side so that he can try to take a fighting move, or an EQ. Toxic and Protect are pretty self explanatory. Protect makes them take poison damage and get Lefties recovery. Lave Plume is a nice STAB attack with a very nice change to burn, and when it does the defence just gets stronger. Roar helps stack up the hazards damage and phase out anyone trying to set up, so GG baton pass teams -_-
The main trouble I have with my heatran is that is hard countered by other Heatrans. So I have to make sure they are out of the way before I throw mine around too much.
But with Toxic, my Heatran has been a fantastic addition to my team and very instrumental in my successes with it.
The Physical Wall
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Roost
- Brave Bird
- Roar
The Metal Bird of Doom! Skarmory is a fantastic Physical wall and has been for a very long time.
This is your typical Spikes Skarmory with Brave Bird for nice damage. Have to say I love it when Brave Bird crits xD.
Roar is another Phasing move, helping rack up the SR and Spikes damage. Also another poke that can phase out anything trying to set up.
With Heatran in the team I have no need to fear fire attacks. People hate me for using him, but he walls Scizor, Garchomp (with out fire fang) and most physical attackers, what more could you want?

The Priority Sweeper
Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Roost
- Swords Dance
Here is my late game sweeper. Mega-Scizor. One of the best Mega's in the game that hasnt been banned to Ubers .. yet.
The set reads for itself. Mega evolve, use Sword Dance, Sweep anything that doesnt resist Bullet Punch. Bug Bite is here for anything that resists Bullet Punch because it still does very nice damage.
Talonflame is a great counter to this, but I have heatran to switch in on Talonflame, and with rocks hopefully up it wont be around long.
Many people call MegaScizor a horrible mega because of the over-powered Bullet Punch, but like all battles if you work your stratergy right you should be able to counter it. Unless your fairy, then your screwed because Bullet Punch owns you!! >:)
The Special Bulk
Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
I. Love. This. Pokemon!
Goodra has instantly become my favourite 6th gen pokemon to use. With AV and no SpDef investment it is still soo hard to take down on its special side. With 252 HP it can even take a basic phsical attack. I run 252 SpAttack because it packs a punch. I have taken down Scizors, Latios, Ferrothorns, Jellicent, Heatrans all with Goodra alone.
Draco Meteor is a heavy hitting move that takes down most dragons and leaves anything that isnt fairy dented.
Fire Blast destroys Grass types, which seem to be on the up recently because of Mega-Venusaur.
Focus Blast is for Heatran because well, I dont like facing Heatran xD
Thunderbolt tops of the coverage and deals with Water and Flying types that come in.
I run Sap Sipper instead of Gooey because I love messing with Ferrothorns, Brelooms, Venusaurs and even Smeargles. Not being able to be put to sleep is great! Only thing is it makes the Attack boost useless, but oh well the immunity to grass is lovely by itself xD
So here is the team, if there is anything that you think could be improves please just post and I will take it in.
Thank You for any help given :D
