Carbink Light clay
Ability: Clear Body
Evs: 90 Sp. Def/ 168 Def/ 252 hp
Bold Nature
-Moonblast
-Stealth Rock
-Reflect
-Light Screen
Carbink is a good lead to set up a light screen or a reflect or both. If i can get both screens up it is a bonus but i'm usually happy with one because my main priority with this set is to get stealth rocks up. Not much of an attacking threat here but i put Moonblast on just to have a STAB attacking move and fairy type has pretty good coverage. Some risk of getting set up on but i can usually predict a switch out from the opponents' lead in time. This thing is a beast and can swallow up a lot of hits. Light clay is a great item because some of my pokemon aren't so great defensively and need the screens for as long as possible
Torkoal Focus sash
Ability: White Smoke
Evs: 166 hp/ 42 Def/ 136 Atk/ 68 sp Atk/ 98 Sp. Def
Relaxed Nature
-Rapid Spin
-Yawn
-Explosion
-Flamethrower
I haven't figured out if i really like this thing yet. Obviously the main reason its on the team is for rapid spin purposes. I have a very spread out EV set because i wasn't set on one specific thing i wanted it to be. Yawn is a very effective move that i bred on it which keeps pokemon from setting up and sweeping. Explosion is for when i feel like it has done its job with a rapid spin, which is why i have so many attack EVs. Flamethrower for STAB. Not sure if i wanna keep this in here i have been thinking of other spinning options like Tyrogue or Excadrill. Not sure yet but Torkoal has done an adequate job thus far.
Flygon @Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 hp
Naughty Nature
-U-Turn
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
I like Flygon on the team because it outspends a lot of Pokemon with its Choice Scarf and it has great coverage with its move set. Sometimes i feel conflicted with the choice of U-turn or staying locked in with EQ or another move. Overall Flygon is a good attacker on the team, i can switch him in on an electric or ground prediction which is good, and its always good to have a dragon on your team. Happy with Flygon thus far it forces the hand of my opponents a lot and the choice scarf is more of a benefit than a hinder.
Umbreon Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Evs: 213 Sp Def/ 45 Atk/ 252 hp
Sassy Nature
-Toxic
-Payback
-Confuse Ray
-Moonlight
Probably my favorite Pokemon on this team. Basically walls any special attack and most physical attack. I hate to be the guy who uses confuse ray, but it's so great against pokes that are trying to set up or pokes that i can't handle. Toxic to stall out along with moonlight to recover with leftovers. Payback is important to deal STAB damage which is why i invested EVs in attack. Very good at switching into hits like flamethrower or thunderbolt due to synchronize. My favorite pokemon on this team, very effective and fun to use.
Greninja Life orb
Ability: Protean
Evs: 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 speed/ 4 hp
Modest Nature
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot
-Hydro Pump
Very very standard Greninja set. Great coverage with all its moves and protean is a killer ability. Out speeds most things which is nice, defense is low but can take hits depending on how well i play the protean card. Life orb is obvious for dealing greater damage, and I'm not too worried about the hp loss. Greninja is a great revenge killer and is a good asset to the team, its coverage and ability make it an awesome pokemon, and OU for a reason.
Gardevoir @Gardevoirite
Ability: Synchronize/Pixilate
Evs: 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Spd./ 4 hp
Modest Nature
-Moonblast
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Calm Mind
Have to have the mega on my team and Gardevoir has coverage that was lacking on this team. Psychic to take out Fighting, Moonblast to counter Dragons, Shadow Ball to take out Ghosts. Calm Mind is an awesome luxury to have if i can predict a switch or if i know the pokemon is just trying to stall. Overall very happy with Gardevoir its Special Attack is huge and its speed isn't great but it can outspeed a good amount of pokemon.
**This team is definitely a work in progress. I'm very open to suggestions and other Pokemon that would work better. Any criticism is fine with me. If you have any pokemon to suggest, a set in mind would be appreciated. Also, i have a Gyarados i've been trying to work into this team but haven't really found a place for it. Anyways, thanks for your time and i really appreciate any feedback and new pokemon suggestions.
