XY OU My New OU Team

Psycho-Sapien · Jul 8, 2015

INTRODUCTION
Hi there I just made a new team and its doing pretty fine but it still has some flaws.So here it is

1.Galvantula
@ Focus Sash
Compound Eyes
Timid ( +spe,-atk )
252 SPE,252 Spatk
Stickyweb
Thunder
Thunderwave
Bugbuzz

Its Just a Straight forward lead.Focus sash so that it can survive 1 hit and set up sticky web or if my opponent is fast i just use thunderwave in first turn and then stickyweb in next one (if opponent doesnt have moves like machpunch or Extreme Speed ).And to cause some damage if it can. Bugbuzz is a stab and 0HKO mega absol and some damage to espeon and thunder also a stab and it doesnt miss with compound eyes.

2. Venusaur
@ Venusaurite
Thick Fat
Modest ( +Spatk,-Atk )
252 HP,252 Spatk
GigaDrain
Sleep Powder
SludgeBomb
Hidden Power(Fire)

My Mega and my favourite pokemon Mega-Vena can take hits do damage. GigaDrain is here as a stab and also helps to recover some hp. Sludgebomb also a stab and powerfulmove. I use Mega Vena as quick as i can and try to use sleep powder on my opponents switch.Hidden power (fire) is here to take care of ferros and scirzor and other grass types.

3.Talonflame
item:none
GaleWings
Adamant ( +Atk,-Spatk)
252 Atk,252 Spe
SwordsDance
Acrobatics
Flareblitz
Taunt

Talonfalme my main Physical sweeper and revenge killer.Acrobatics is a powerful stab without any item and hits quiet hard and doesnt have any recoil damage. Flareblitz a powerful fire type stab move that hits hard to steel types.Swords dance to set up and icrease its atk. I use taunt against Gliscors and specially defensive heatrans and set up in their face with SD when they canr use SR/toxic/roar.
Some match :
1.+4 252+ Atk Talonflame Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 204-241 (52.8 - 62.4%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
2.+4 252+ Atk Talonflame Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gliscor: 289-342 (81.6 - 96.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal

4.Excadrill
@ airballoon
MoldBreaker
Jolly (+Spe,-Spatk)
252 Atk,252 Spe,4Hp
RapidSpin
Rockslide
Earthquake
Ironhead

Excadrill is here as a rapidspinner since iam using talonfalme.Jolly nature provides it with maximum speed. Airballoon protects from ground type atks for first turn. Moldbreaker is here to prevent my opponent from switching into rotom-W and since i dont have any poke that kicks off sandstorm moldbreaker was my only choice.Earthquake to cause damage same for ironhead. Rockslid is here to takeout flying types and its also a powerful move.I use it to rapidspin and cause some damage only.

5.Rotom-W
@ leftovers
Levitate
Bold (+Def,-Atk)
252 HP,44 Def,148 Spdef,44 Spe,20 Spatk
Hydropump
Will-o-Wisp
Painsplit
Voltswitch

Rotom works as a pivot in my team.These EVs enable him to take a Draco meteor from a lifeorb lati or outrage from a dragonite. Hydropump is here as a stab. Will-o-Wisp to take care of physical sweepers and voltswitch to keep momentum.pain split helps to keep it healthy.

6.Gengar
@ liforb
Levitate
Timid (-Atk, +Spe)
252Spe ,252 Spatk
Shadowball
Dazzling Gleam
Sludebomb
GigaDrain

Gengar here is as a filler here.I switch this poke with anyone i like but gengar works decent.I really need suggestion here

Anyway This set is just a siimple one. Timid provides maximum speed. Shadowball and sludgebomb works as a stab dazzling gleam to take care of Psychic types and giga drain to drain hp from rock types and water/ground types.

Hello, Psycho-Sapien ! Cool looking team you have there.

First off I'd suggest using a format like this when doing your RMTs. This allows the rater to clearly see the sets. But onto the rate:

Sticky Web teams aren't very good in the current metagame, as Bisharp can easily take advantage of this. And so with that I would advise you use Zapdos > Galvantula. Not only is this bulkier, but it is stronger. It also gets access to defog. This will be helpful for Talonflame. However this will lead to switching out Excadrill. I do have a Pokemon in mind, so look out for that.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 64 Def / 180 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm Nature
- Thunderbolt / Volt Switch
- Roost
- Hidden Power Ice
- Defog

I can see by the EV spread that this an offensive Venusaur moveset. So I will provide a more offensive set. Synthesis provides recovery, which is pretty essential for Mega Venusaur.

-->

Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power Fire
- Synthesis

You claim that Talonflame is your Revenge killer. The revenge kill Talonflame set is choice banded other than Swords Dance.

Talonflame @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Steel Wing / Tailwind

I would replace Excadrill for Scizor. Excadrill's role is pretty much taken by Zapdos. And an offensive Excadrill without sand support via Tyranitar is a pretty bad Excadrill overall.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Bug Bite

Nothing is really wrong here. I would just switch the EVs to a more physical defensive spread. This allows it to check Talonflame much easier. Also, Zapdos is already special defensive. Here are the EVs: 212 HP / 252 Def / 44 Spe -- These EVs allow you to outspeed Jolly Azumarill and burn it via Will-O-Wisp!

I would say Sludge Wave > Sludge Bomb. Power is more important here and otherwise, Chesnaught can take your sludge bomb (because of the Bulletproof ability). Also, run Focus Blast > Dazzling Gleam. This will allow you to hit Tyranitar, Bisharp, etc. on the switchin. And these are some options over Giga Drain: Substitute / Taunt / Icy Wind.

If you need speed control, icy wind.
If you need to stop hazard setting, stat boosting, etc. on the spot: run Taunt.
If none of those and you want to have a safe way to just get off damage (let's say if someone switches and you set this up), Substitute.

Overall solid team! It is fairly walled by Heatran, so make sure you don't let Rotom-Wash go down too fast. Okay, that's all I have!
EDIT: Just a nitpick, you have your tag saying "XY OU." I think you may mean "ORAS OU."
