so i want to make a good ou team and i have the following pokemon. im not really sure of my team cuz i dont have a solid lead and it seems like i have some holes that i need to fill like a ghost pokemon but i dont know what i would take out. there are just soooo many choices in black and white.
lead
ferrothorn
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Leech Seed
move 3: Gyro Ball
move 4: Power Whip
nature: Relaxed
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
i have ferrothorn as my lead because he has setup and i figured most of the current leads cant do anything to him but i think he's kinda slow and has trouble setting up against pokemon that can taunt.
scizor
move 1: U-turn
move 2: Bullet Punch
move 3: Superpower
move 4: Pursuit
item: Choice Band
nature: Adamant
ability: Technician
evs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
scizor is one o the best revenge killers and i would basically put him in if i say something that was weak against pursuit or if one of my pokemon died.
gliscor
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Toxic
move 3: Protect
move 4: Ice Fang
item: Toxic Orb
ability: Poison Heal
nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
another wall. he's basically my only check to excadrill and other fighting type pokemon. he's got toxic so he's good against sweepers and will basically stall out and kill anything short of scarmory.
starmie
move 1: Rapid Spin
move 2: Surf
move 3: Ice Beam
move 4: Thunderbolt
item: expert belt
ability: Natural Cure
nature: Timid
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
this is my rapid spinner for my 2 sweepers. my salamence and volcarona take a lot of damage from stealth rocks and spikes so i want to make sure they come in on a clean field.
salamance
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Fire Blast
nature: adamant
item: Life Orb
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
my physical sweeper with fireblast for pokemon that can resist outrage. im not sure about its nature since it hurts fire blasts damage.
volcarona
move 1: Quiver Dance
move 2: Bug Buzz
move 3: Fiery Dance
move 4: Hidden Power Ground
nature: Timid
item: air balloon
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
my special sweeper. any team that isnt prepared for a volcarona will be instantly swept.
the six shown above are what i have put on the team so far but im not really sure about some of them. i have some other pokemon that could go on the team but i just dont have enough room to put them in. the following are pokemon that i would like to put on the team but i dont know what i would take out for.
Conkeldurr
Item: Leftovers
Nature: brave
EVs: 120 HP/ 252 Atk/ 136 Sp. Def
Ability: Guts
Bulk Up
Drain Punch
Mach Punch
Payback
conkeldurr is an awesome pokemon with good coverage and it can check most sweepers in the format.
Skarmory
Item: Shed Shell
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Sp. Def
Ability: Sturdy
Spikes
Whirlwind
Brave Bird
Roost
another great staller/wall. like gliscor it can check excadrill but it has really weak special defence. and it is really vulnerable to taunt.
meinshoa
hi jump kick
u-turn
fake out
taunt
item: focus sash
nature: jolly
ability: regenerator
ev: 252 atk/ 4 hp/ 252 spe
an awesome lead and scout with an awesome ability. i just dont know what to take out to put him in. also u turn synergizes with his ability.
darmanitan
move 1: Flare Blitz
move 2: U-Turn
move 3: Rock Slide
move 4: Superpower / Earthquake
item: Life Orb / Choice Band
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spe
his sheer force ability with most of his attacks makes him a force to be reckoned with. he can 2hko most pokemon, even pokemon that resist his attacks.
lead
ferrothorn
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Leech Seed
move 3: Gyro Ball
move 4: Power Whip
