New OU Team

[DreamQueen121]

Hey so this is one of my first OU teams I made myself. It does pretty well on shoddy but there are some flaws. Thank you! =)


Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Explosion
- Psychic
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast

This is just a standard lead azelf. It works pretty well. I decided not to use taunt because a lot of the leads I am up against predict that and just go straight for an attack. I put EVs in Special Attack instead of attack because I actually rarely use explosion. Most people go to their rotoms so I end up using psychic and fire blast more often.

Jirachi @ Expert Belt
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 200 Atk/252 Spd/52 SAtk/6 SDef
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch

I love this Jirachi =) It's really situational so I can't explain what it does in words. Thunderbolt has been a big help to the team, most people don't think Jirachi has it when they see iron head.

Heatran (M) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spd/252 SAtk/6 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- Hidden Power [Electric]

Again, a standard Heatran. The shuca berry has saved me a million times and the reason I have HP Eletric is because there have been sooooo many times where people switch in gyrados on heatran or another water type.

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP/4 Spd/252 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Heal Bell
- Roost
- Toxic
- Earthquake

My FAVORITE pokemon on this team. He's my special wall and a cleric. He has perfect synergy with gyrados, my defensive wall, who has rest. I then just heal it off with a heal bell. This also helps for other status'. I used to run dragon claw instead of earthquake but people kept switching in jirachis and heatrans into it so EQ ends up helping me more. Toxic is to stall.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP/248 Def/12 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Sleep Talk
- Rest
- Roar
- Waterfall

His main purpose is to wall physical hits. I rest when i need to, and sleep talk when i need to. Waterfall is there so i can get damage on things. Roar is for scouting and for preventing a set-up.

Electivire (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Thunderpunch
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch
- Cross Chop

Lastly, the newest member of the team. I love this e-vire because people usually bring in rotom or starmie into gyra and t-bolt. I predict that and switch into e-vire and sweep as much as possible.

Please expand your descriptions, especially Jirachi and Gyarados, as they're definitely not up to rule 3:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
