SV OU My S/V OU team (help appreciated)

chris2002

Hello everyone,

I haven't been playing competitively in a very long time and even back then I played only sporadically. But the start of Scarlet and Violet somehow made me want to try again and for my first team I found a team online that I copied and after some testing tweaked to my liking but I am still not completely happy with it. But here it is:

Pawmot @ Leppa Berry
Ability: Iron Fist
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Revival Blessing
- Mach Punch
- Volt Switch
- Ice Punch

Pawmot main reason to be there is to use Revival Blessing to bring back 1 or in the best case 2 Pokemon that can deal with the remaining Pokemon of the opponent. Besides that it has the priority move in Mach punch and sometimes volt switch can help getting hits on Annihilape

Annihilape @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 232 SpD / 28 Spe
Careful Nature
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Rage Fist
- Taunt

My main Sweeper. I try to get it behind Screens take hits and sweep with Rage fist. Taunt is for those status moves or set ups. Drain Punch for recovery purposes. The Tera Type I chose to not risk getting burned but I am open for suggestions. The neat thing is that thanks to revival blessing getting killed as Annihilape is not so Bad as it means a revived one gets a higher boost for rage fist

Dondozo @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Liquidation
- Curse
- Heavy Slam

This one wasn't in the original team but I felt that I couldn't deal well with Setup sweeper so an Unaware Dondozo was my answer. Also he is quite bulky especially after one or two curses. Earth is particularly good against Gholdengo while Heavy slam is for fairies or when I am way heavier than the opponent. I sometimes Tera him for more resistances. I am not sure if EV wise I should go more defensive maybe. But since exchanging it for Hattarene it saved me some games already.


Grimmsnarl @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 248 SpD / 8 Spe
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Taunt
- Parting Shot

Almost always my lead except when I see Szicor or Lokix want to prio-kill me. It likes to set up screens, deny setupers and if possible also switch out with parting shot into one of my sweepers to sponge a hit.

Cyclizar @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Rapid Spin
- Shed Tail
- Taunt

My spinner but the one I am least content with right now. Spins, can knock off items and switch out with a sub. I am just not sure if being so fast helps with Shed Tail since there is a high chance it breaks mediately upon switch in. I am open for changes here.

Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 248 HP / 108 Def / 152 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Morning Sun
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain

My second sweeper and a set up sweeper in that. Also I already got quite some surprise KOs when terrastilizing into grass type giga drain switched in Pokemon. Flame Body has come in clutch also more than once already. Here I don't know if I should keep Morning Sun or take a coverage move instead.


That should be it. Every kind of advice would be kindly appreciated ☺️ If I need to add anything please let me know
 
Why would you want pawmot to bring back 2 mons in exchange for the item slot? Other than annihalape, I feel that using life orb would be more useful for it to kill whatever is on the field.

Dondozo might want SpD investment instead of Atk, since his attack will be huge regardless with curse.

Why is volcarona 108 Def 152 Spe? Are you changing it for a specific matchup?

Overall, your team looks great!

Thanks for the advice.

You are right that more often than not Pawmot can only revive bless once so I probably change it.

True that Dondozo can use some SpD investment. Would you go 252 HP/4 ATK /252 SpD and a SpD+ nature or a different split?

Lastly since I used the base of someone else's team and changed it a bit I don't know why it had those EVs but I changed to a full special sweeper split with 252 SpA and 252 Spe
