My new first team (OU)

Obbmud99

Well, I'm back. Please tell me how I can improve.

Greeny (Breloom) (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Rock Slide
- Substitute
- Spore


Greeny is a sub-puncher. He can take out 2-3 pokemon endgame. I need rock slide to take out flying-types. Might switch for Thunderpunch or Seed Bomb. I thought that I needed a pokemon to build a team around. So, I though between sub-punch and set-up sweep. I have tried a set-up sweep before and i failed, so I chose sub-punch.

Fort (Forretress) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 168 HP / 168 Def / 168 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Switch


A Hit and run wall. I also use Fort as a Entry hazard lead, but not if there are: 2 fire types on foe's team, or a heatran. I need something to take attacks and to set-up entry hazards. I chose between Jellicent and Fortress. Fortress can use entry hazards and can taking hits. I am considering changing it though.

Mr Fire (Chandelure) (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Flamethrower
- Energy Ball
- Taunt


Mr. Fire is a fine special wall breaker. I need taunt to prevent set up sweeps. When I made this team, this was my 2nd pokemon. I was in need of a anti-special wall pokemon. I picked a few, but I felt the need to take Mr. Fire. (I don't know what else to say.)

Pinky (Vaporeon) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Protect
- Scald
- Toxic


A replacement for MEDIC!. Pinky is my new attack sponge. (Wish, Protect, Wish, Protect, etc.) I feel like it can't take as many special attacks as MEDIC could. But Pinky can fight though, so I kept it. I have won some battles with it. (I don't know what to say because the forums people gave me it.)

Bold Bird (Skarmory) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Spikes
- Roost
- Roar
- Brave Bird


Physical wall. I use Bold Bird as a baton pass sweep blocker with roar. I will Switch it for whirlwind though. I picked it because I needed a Physical wall with some punch. I pick Skarmory, although it didn't have any "Punch". This new set has much more uses.

Giant (Mamoswine) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Snow Cloak
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Superpower

I use Giant to beat dragons, and I use him for revenge kill/ hit and run. Also can take a hit or 2. (I was given this by the forums too, so i have no explanation for this.)


Edit:

AlienInvader (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Superpower


I like this one. It can trap pokemon, and also has the bulk of a steel type. I got this from the Fourms.

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]


I would say it's a nice Hit-and-run Pokemon. Some people don't realize that it has a Choice Scarf either. I got this of the forums.

I need a spiker though. :|
 
Hey there,

A big threat to your team is probably Trick Room Reuniclus. After it sets up, it will outspeed and OHKO every offensive members of your team, while the more defensively oriented ones will get 2HKOed, though they can't strike it hard back. I think that a good way to fix that problem would be swapping your Forretress for a Choice Band Scizor. Scizor is able to take Reuniclus attacks and strike it back with a powerful U-Turn. I also think that having both Skarmory and Forretress on the same team is somewhat redundant, since they're both physical walls who place Entry Hazards on the field. Personally, I think that Forretress should go as Skarmory handles Excadrill a lot better than Forry, even though Forry gives you very useful Taunt support. Also, you should change Spikes for Stealth Rock on Skarm, as it's slightly more useful all around for balanced teams like yours. So, here's the Scizor you should use :

212.png
@ Choice Band
Technician
Adamant
EVs : 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Pursuit
-Superpower

Also, there are some minor changes to do. First of all, Chandelure should get a Modest nature, as it doesn't have any physical moves and Mild lowers its Defense, which is a lot more important than your attack. Skarmory should have an Impish nature, as Bold lowers its Attack, making its Brave Bird a lot weaker.

Good luck!
 
You have a huge weakness to Fire-types. Change Skarmory to Latios because he resists Fire-type moves. I also noticed your team is pretty slow, so a Choice Scarf set will provide speed.

Latios @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Special Attack / 252 Speed
Timid Nature
Moves:
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Draco Meteor for STAB and hurts a lot. Thunderbolt for Water-types. Surf for coverage and is very good as an Excadrill counter. Hidden Power [Fire] is for Steel-types specifically Scizor who will try and trap you with Pursuit.

On Breloom you should probably switch Rock Slide to Seed Bomb for STAB.

Hope I helped and good luck with the team!
 
your team is missing stuff your team is slow it packs to much bulk you need good attackers and your team has a huge weakness to fire if so u should change your mamo to a scarf heracross or scarfed latios set or scarfed absol
 
Rock Slide should be replaced for Stone Edge on Breloom. The power difference is very crucial, it will allow you to KO threats like Salamence, Dragonite, or Gyarados after SR damage. Rock Slide is just too weak to do much. You're invest way too much unnecessary EVs on Breloom's Speed. Change it to the more standard EV spread of 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe.

Rocky Helmet isn't a great item for Forretress, it may be viable for Ferrothorn which does 25% damage with added Iron Barb damage, but not so great on a Forretress. Forretress would love to have Leftovers on instead. Your EVs on Forretress is also very very weird. Please run the more standard and viable EV spread of: EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef.

Skarmory's Nature doesn't make sense, Bold nature is decreasing Skarmory's Atk stat. Change your Skarmory's nature to Impish.

Have a nice day.
 
Contrary to common sense, 128/128 EVs in defences (that Vaporeson) do not give equal defences. I suggest messing around with the PO teambuilder through trial and error to get a stat spread with one more SDef than Def to troll Download users. Also, your Forretress set is a little inefficient, since it's considerably weaker walling attacks from both ends and would suck more than say, a 252 SDef Foretress. HP should also be maxed to not get screwed over by Blissey.
 
Only bad thing about your team is that it can be taken out easily with an infernape/Ninjask baton pass team.

Click to expand...

Thats a terrible strategy that gets owned by anyone with roar/ taunt, he should be worrying about taking on, well, pretty much any other strategy.

Your EVs are really wierd. I suggest swapping Skarmory's to 252 Hp/ 232 Def/ 24 Spd to outspeed Wobbufett. change the nature to Impish, I don't know why your trying to lower the power of your own Brave Bird when you could just lower a useless stat in SpA.

Forretress should be changed to Calm, 252 Hp/ 252 SpD/ 4 Def with Leftovers. Leftovers is Forry's only method of recovery bar Rest, which would take up a useful moveslot for it. Calm since Forry wont use any physical attacks, max SpD since Skarmory is better at tanking physical dragon moves.

Vaporeon should use Bold 248 Hp/ 252 Def/ 8 SpD to take threats such as Gyarados better.
 
Edit

I'm sorry, but the pokemon you are talking about are on my old team. Check the edit at the bottom of my first post.
 
Sorry about that, I had to go.I jut skimmed through this, but I can say: I do see one big problem (sorry if somebody already said this): it's weak to fire. Even with Vaporeon, they (fire types) will still be a big problem, as Vaporeon's only move to defeat them is scald, and I would have no doubt that an opposing fire type would have an anti-water strategy. You should either change the ones that are weak to fire, or make the ones that aren't more of a counter to fire. For example, give 3 of your pokemon water moves
 
Why the hell put your team in spoilers? Just to confuse people?

Here my rate: take it out of the fucking spoilers. No seriously. It's plain confusing.
 
Have you ever considered Jellicent over Chaneleure? Jellicent can do pretty much the same thing as Chandeleure but it walls instead of breaking walls and getting OHKO'ed by everything.
