ORAS UU Offensive-Ish Team

[Terrashock]

Hello and welcome to my first RMT o/
Today I will show you a team I've recently made these past few days that has been working well for me. I Went 22-0 with this team and lost thanks to someone missing 2 air slashes in a row n_n. Although It's been demolishing I've still found certain things that stop it somewhat.
The Team

Entei @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Sacred Fire
- Extreme Speed
- Stone Edge
​

I decided to start with a simple Fire + Water + Grass type core, when I thought of a Fire type, Entei came to mind. Entei hits alot of the tier with sheer power and it's Sacred Fire move allows it to burn an entire team while Stone edge provides coverage for Fire type switch-ins. Extremespeed Of course is for outspeeding and killing mons like Beedrill and Darmanitan after Rocks. Entei also allows me to switch into things like Whimsicott and occasionally Abomasnow. Overall, Entei allows nice coverage and can fit on almost every team :]

Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
- Defog​

Next I wanted a Water type. I chose empoleon as he can switch into lots of Pokémon easily thanks to his amazing typing, like Specs Dragalge and Cresselia. Empoleon is also an amazing Hazard remover, and also gets Stealth Rock. Combined with Roar and Scald this provides Empoleon a big part on alot of teams and can work house against the opponent's, Empoleon's main purpose on this team is to remove hazards and take certain hits without me having to sack anything. :]

Abomasnow @ Abomasite
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Seed Bomb
- Ice Shard
- Swords Dance
​

Time for the God himself, Abomasnow. This is the last mon needed for my Core and a damn good one i might add. Abomasnow's typing paired with Earthquake offers it amazing Offensive power against the entire tier, making it my main wallbreaker/stallbreaker. 84 Speed allows it to Speedcreep Rhyperior and Doublade. Ice shard allows it to revenge kill Dragon Dance Salamence and basically allows it to hit fast pokemon with hard damage and priority. Seed Bomb and Earthquake are standard for coverage against Water Types and Fire Types, which would otherwise switch into this monster. SD Allows it to setup on certain mons and do work to a team with ice shard. Overall this mon is just great to have and is a very good mon for breaking stall. :]

Reuniclus @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Calm Mind
- Recover
​

Now that the core is finished I needed to decide more Pokémon to fit on the team. Reuniclus was my first thought. Not only can Reuniclus take Physical hits well but it is also very good on the offensive side and with one or two calm minds up can potentially sweep an entire team. Psyshock is standard for STAB coverage against alot of the tier and hits SpDef walls that would wall Psychic like Florges and Blissey. Focus Blast allows it to hit Pokémon like Hydreigon, Umbreon and Aggron which would otherwise easily switch-in and wall it. Recover lets it heal up damage it has taken and recover Knock Offs so they do less damage next turn. Overall, this Pokémon is a great offensive tank that can take physical hits for my team. :]

Krookodile @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie/Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Earthquake
​

My team so far is very weak to Entei so I decided I would need a revenge killer for it, Krookodile looked like it fit the spot very well. Krookodile provides great coverage with It's moveset and can hit alot of the tier, while also Knock-Offing things like Porygon2 and Gligar which can be annoying for this team. Scarf allows it to outspeed alot of threats, mainly Mega-Pidgeot, Mega-Aerodactyl and Life-Orb Mienshao. Superpower allows Krookodile to hit Hydreigon on Switch-In, which is always good since Hydreigon poses a threat to all teams. Overall, Krookodile's coverage allows me to hit alot of threats that can do work to this team and with Moxie could potentially even sweep. :]

Yanmega @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Giga Drain
- Protect
​

Last Pokémon. (sadly) I decided my team looked a bit too on the Physical Side, so I wanted a Special Attacker with good coverage and power. Yanmega was my first thought. Yanmega is unmatched when it comes to destroying unprepared teams. Thanks to it's decent coverage it can hit alot of the tier with tons of power while thanks to its Speed Boost ability, it's outspeeding them all too. Protect allows it to get a free turn off of Speed Boost while also scouting certain Scarfers like Darmanitan or Krookodile. Bug Buzz and Air Slash are it's best stabs and hit hard as hell, while Air Slash has a solid 30% chance to flinch which happens more often than you'd expect. Giga Drain allows it to heal back Life-Orb damage and hit certain mons like Swampert (1hko) and Suicune (2hko after Stealth rock). Overall, Yanmega is a great offensive special attacker that hits hard on unprepared teams.

Counters:

Dragalge: This team has no switch-ins for Dragalge bar Empoleon, however Dragalge gets Focus Blast to hit Empoleon, I usually have to sack a pokemon to switch into this but thats normal for offense.

Entei: As for Dragalge, I have no switch-in's for Entei, thus I have to either predict around it, or sack something.

Mega Abomasnow: Mega Abomasnow can hit alot of my team for massive damage, Reuniclus is the main switch-in if it carries Earthquake, but if it's the Swords Dance set I have to sack something.

Rhyperior: Rhyperior hits alot of my team with its STAB moves and Scald from Empoleon won't ohko the SpDef Set so your'e gonna have to pray for burn on that one, on other hand Rhyperior can be played around, but is still a Problem.

Roarcune: Suicune with Roar can hurt this team alot, as it outspeed Empoleon with Roar so Empoleon can't Roar it out itself, and running 136+ Speed on Empoleon won't work out. Abomasnow can hurt it for a 2hko but you have to bet on Scald not burning.

Cresselia: Moon Duck himself, This thing can basically just Calm Mind to Victory, Roaring out with Empoleon is your best answer, that or CM Wars with Reuniclus, and if Empoleon is dead, you better watch out.

Doublade Doublade is hard to work around, only thing to really hit it is Empoleon and Krookodile. Krookodile itself wont ohko and both of them don't like Sacred Sword. If the opponent has Doublade don't let Entei faint or get badly hurt.

Mega-Aerodactyl; Mega Aerodactyl's only switch-in on this team is Reuniclus, so if Reuniclus is not fully healed Aerodactyl can kill it with 2 Stone Edges and then proceed to hit the team hard.

Rain: This team has a bit of weakness to Rain, however in Most cases Yanmega gets the job done, Example: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-240260958

This seems like a very solid UU team although you literally have zero counters to Entei as you mentioned earlier. Although u do have Empoleon, its not going to take a Sacred Fire very well and does not appreciate the burn. Just thought that I should mention that. Otherwise, it looks like this team is pretty much set.

Yes as I said Entei is a problem as Sacred Fire still does heaps to Empoleon 252+ Atk Choice Band Entei Sacred Fire vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Empoleon: 274-324 (73.6 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery So as i said, i need to sack something and bring in the revenge killer, hence Krook.

Going to suggest having Pursuit > Superpower on Krookodile, as this allows you to trap opposing Pokemon that could potentially hurt your team later on, such as Entei and Dragalge. Superpower lets Choice Scarf Krookodile become setup fodder, so I'm not too fond of it, especially considering Earthquake hits the neutral Pokemon hard enough after two hits compared to two consecutive Superpowers. I'm also going to suggest having Intimidate > Moxie on Krookodile while keeping the Choice Scarf. This allows Krookodile to act as a lure of sorts, making the opposing player think you're a usual set, while Intimidate lets you better check the likes of Entei, Doublade and Mega Aerodactyl. I would recommend running 84 Speed on Abomasnow to speed creep Rhyperior after Mega Evolving, it also allows you to in turn outspeed Doublade, allowing you to smack it with a potential +2 Earthquake. Most of the threats on the threatlist can be played around, so I recommend trying to make smart switches, and effectively utilize the team's assets, such as the lure in Krookodile. Smartly playing could beat most of the threats, for example, should there be a Suicune you could not Mega Evolve Abomasnow to be immune to Roar and setup.

I think I'll keep Moxie on Krook but I'll consider 84 Speed on Abomasnow. I'll also replace Superpower for Pursuit. Thank you for the input.

this team looks pretty decent but before i rate it i just wanna point this out

how is pursuit making krook any less set up bait than superpower is? yeah you trap weakened shit but as soon as that happens you let stuff like dd mence or luke get a free set up, which is really, really, bad when you realize that both take a shit on this team, especially the latter.

there's a lot that could be fixed with this team though. i don't see what you gain with yanmega, yeah it cleans late game but dont you already get that with krookodile? you get torn apart by heracross too, which is something all bulky offensive teams should have a semi-decent answer for, even if you have offensive checks for it, seeing as it basically comes in for free on empo and gets a free kill (assuming cb guts, which is what 80% of them are right now). i think you should get rid of yan for intimidate mixmence; this breaks shit down for aboma and reuni to set up on, and it also helps krook clean late game, while also giving you a decent answer to fighting-types.

set

Salamence @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Iron Tail
- Roost

your team, as you stated, gets pummeled by maero, especially hone claws variants. you don't really have much leverage against eq sets, meaning you have to keep reuni healthy for it since it's the only thing you really have for it. i'm gonna suggest replacing your current empo set for an offensive shuca variant, as this gives you a pretty decent check for it as well as other mons like mamo, and getting rid of both of those mons is a godsend for your team.

set

Empoleon @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Ice Beam / Grass Knot
- Stealth Rock
- Defog

you can change the ev spread around to make it more offensive, if you'd like, i just like the bulk though. ice beam / grass knot is also up to your preference, the former for mence and other dragons while the latter is for megapert and other things like megastoise.

hope i helped dude. gl
