ORAS OU My Porygon-Z Team (Peaked 1480 and climbing)

[Ebrake.]

Hey guys this team was a team that i was trying to make since XY.Porygon-z is my favorite mon and i have always tried to make it viable in OU. After a year of testing i think that i finnaly made the team i was looking for. I hope you enjoy! :D By the way this is my first RMT lol i hope you like it

Porygon-Z @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Tri Attack
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
So this guy was what started it all. With a base 135 special attack and a decent 90 speed and passable defenses i mainly use him as my revenge killer.Tri-atack is to hit things hard as possible.Dark pulse is to hit ghost types,Ice beam is for mons in OU weak to ice which is alot,and finnaly HP fire is to hit Ferros and scizors that would otherwise switch in thinking im going for another move. Max speed and Sp.Atk for max offense.

SmokeWeedEryDay (Medicham-Mega) (M) @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Bullet Punch
- High Jump Kick
- Ice Punch
So i took out M-lop b/c stall was a problem and its alot stronger than m-lop. Not only that but i have more priority moves. Mega Medicham also takes care of things that would stop PZs sweep such as skarm,ttar,scizor,magnezone,etc.

Scizor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog
Ahh scizor. I realized that i was missing a defogger so i added scizor since his acces to u-turn gives me momentum and bullet punch can get me some damage or even a few KOs. Roost is is to make him last llonger and defog is to,well get rid or hazards lol.

Amoonguss (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpD
Calm Nature
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Clear Smog
At this point i realized that i had 2 mons weak to fighting and o1 neutral to it so i was like let me add amoonguss to patch that up.The given EV spread and nature allow Amoonguss to effectively check Choice Band Azumarill, Keldeo lacking Icy Wind, and Thundurus lacking Hidden Power Flying.Black Sludge gives Amoonguss passive recovery and the ability to punish users of Trick or Switcheroo.Regenerator lets Amoonguss stay healthy throughout the match, allowing Amoonguss to be used as a pivot and to consistently take hits. Also spore gives me safe switch-ins and clear smog can stop my opponent from setting up.

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
After amoongus was added i wanted to make a Fire Water Grass core so i added wash rotom as another defensive wall to burn my opponents with will-o-wisp and to keep momentum going with volt switch. Hydro pump is to hit things hard with stab and Pain Split is to recover HP. The evs capitalize on its defensive capabilities.

Volcarona (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 2 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Hidden Power [Ground]
Finnaly Volcarona was added to finish off the FWG core and also the team. Im going to be honest here i picked volcarona because it looks cool and it can sweep,Which is exactly what it has been doing! Volcarona is here to add more offenzzive presence to the team and to look cool doing it. Quiver dance is to boost its already amazing stats and fiery dance is to hit hard and even raise it more. Bug Buzz is for stab and HP Ground is for heatrans. I chose timid over modest because after a quiver dance i did not want to get out sped by a scarf user.(Looks at Landorus-T)

So yeah thanks guys i really hope you guys start using Porygon-z after this team. I peaked 1480 (and climing) with this team on the ladder so yeah any constructive criticism is allowed and im willing to change some sets or test things out if you think they will make my Porygon-z Team better

I forgot to mention that i struggle with talon flame and zard-x after a ddance. Also megagross is kind of annoying to deal with.

Hi KidMagic thanks for the advice i'll definitely try out the mons you told me to replace. Im a little eh about the scarf on Porygon-z because i lose power but ill definitely try it out. So yeah thanks!

I realized skarm was waliing me once rotom was gone and stall was a problem so i switched m-lop to mega medicham and now i made it to 1513 :D

You're having problems winning because you've stacked weaknesses, most of your pokemon share said weaknesses to the same pokemon. For example, porygon-z, amoonguss, and scizor cannot beat heatran; medicham, amoonguss, volcarona, and scizor cannot beat talonflame. You shouldn't just focus on type synergy when teambuilding, you also have to consider the pokemon in the tier as well. Mega Medicham is great at breaking stall + beating steel types, but the combination of Volcarona + Scizor would be better because of their ability to lure and KO things like Heatran. Getting rid of Medicham and changing Scizor to your mega would greatly improve the team because it becomes a bit easier to KO ferrothorn, heatran, scizor, skarmory, and magnezone. This opens a free slot for the team as well as opening things up for porygon-z to decimate. With the free slot I recommend using Latias, it's an excellent hazard removing option for this team because it brings a few key resistances like fire, water and electric as well as being a great check to threats like charizard x and charizard y. With this change amoonguss becomes expendable because the mon's that it's supposed to check (fighting, water, fairies) are taken care of by scizor, latias, rotom-w, and volcarona to an extent. I chose Azumarill here because it filled a few weaknesses to ice, dark, water, and dragon. Plus it offers a great endgame option through the use of BD. The team may miss a Choice Scarf option. I felt it could be skipped because of the teams strong priority but if you want you could use Choice Scarf Keldeo instead of Azumarill. Hope I was able to help a bit.
