Hi, everybody! I'm a first time poster and a long time lurker. I built this team in in Showdown a day or two after the OU beta went up. It has given me the best results of any competitive team I have built. I'm looking for feedback because I can't decide what changes could really improve my team.
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Nature: Bold (-Spe,+Atk)
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SAtk
Brave Nature
- Synthesis
- Sludge Bomb
- Power Whip
- Earthquake
Megasaur provides a ton of bulk and coverage. If you haven't played with megasaur you might be surprised at what he is capable of taking and dishing back out, especially with dual screen support. He is a great counter to rotom wash and marill.
Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey Modest(-Atk,+SpA)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Dragon Tail
Goodra has proved to be a phenominal SpD wall with the added bonus of being able to phaze. Please note that i don't take dragon tail for damage. Thunderbolt has been really helpful for punishing marill and togekiss when they try and switch in.
Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 196 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog
This guy I think needs to either be replaced or tweaked a bit. He is often required to switch in on outrages and other dragon moves which he is decnt at. I originally picked him up for defog support, but defog does not synergize as well as a spinner would with espeon who provides dualscreens and magic bounce.
Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Rest
This is my usual lead. he spread around the burn; I think we all know why that is amazing. Also he can check gliscor and tflame (this is pretty huge considering their popularity). Rest has been really useful because he often gets hit with toxic or burn as the lead and he needs all the durability he can get.
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
Talonflame is my sweeper. I chose tflame because it hits super hard when boosted and outspeed almost everything which makes up for a lot of my speed issues.
Espeon @ Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Psyshock
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Dazzling Gleam
I LOVE espeon. Magic bounce is wonderful; bouncing hazards, status, and whirlwind is too satisfying. Adding dual screens is the cherry on top.
I don't really know how to characterize my playstyle (bulky offense?).
Let me know if there is more info you want to give better advice.
