ORAS OU ORAS First Team - Mega Diancie

[samuelg31]

Hi everyone, i'm new to smogon and team building. I hope i get the right suggestions and let's get right into it

TEAM OVERVIEW

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aurora (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

I started building the team around Suicune. I picked the CroCune moveset because it works pretty well. Suicune can take multiple hits and after one Calm Mind can resist a lot of special attacks. Scald is used for STAB and burning physical sweepers. The combo Rest and Sleep Talk works well for recovering, attacking and increasing stats.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pandora (Ferrothorn) (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 164 HP / 112 Def / 232 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Protect
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock

Ferrothorn is Suicune's partner. Both have great synergy with each other. Ferrothorn resist a lot of super effective attacks against Suicune, and viceversa. The combo Rocky Helmet and Iron Barbs is amazing for dealing damage. Ferrothorn can be put as lead to set rocks because the is pretty hard to kill him and has a lot of resistances. Leech Seed and Protect are for recovering health and Gyro Ball is for Fairies and Fast Pokemon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vlott (Thundurus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]

I picked Thundurus as a resistance for Fighting moves against Ferrothorn, also beacuse is a really good special attacker. It has access to Prankster, Nasty Plot and Thunder Wave, two useful moves and a big ability in any case needed. Thunderbolt is there for dealing damage to Keldeo or Azumarill, and HP Ice is for Thundurus-T, Tornadus and Thundurus

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Batman (Gliscor) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 244 HP / 8 Def / 200 SpD / 56 Spe
Careful Nature
- Taunt
- Toxic
- Roost
- Earthquake

Gliscor has two main roles, as coverage for electric attacks against Suicune; and to prevent the usage of rocks and any stat movement with Taunt. Toxic is used to force switches or deal some damage and Roost is to help the Toxic Orb the healing factor. Earthquake works as STAB and is used to deal some damage against fire, electric and steel type pokemons.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jewelry (Diancie-Mega) @ Diancite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 32 Atk / 224 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Diamond Storm
- Protect

This is the star of the team. Mega Diancie is simply awesome. Magic Bounce helps counters rocks, taunts, toxics, etc. Protect is there to help Diancie mega evolve. Diamond Storm, Moonblast and Earth Power are attacks that help to deal as much damage as possible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BugginAround (Volcarona) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 72 HP / 244 SpA / 192 Spe
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain

Last but not least, there's Volcarona. It only need a chance to Quiver Dance and the match can be finished. Bug Buzz, Fiery Dance and Giga Drain to hit everything in the way. Diance helps Volcarona with the rocks.

Yo, I notice that other fast eletric mons like mega manetric and other thundurs threathen ur team as nothing can really deal with them on ur team as most ur team gets 2koed by them. This is why i would replace thundurs with raikou as u can check manetric/other thundurs as u resist eletric moves. The down side to this is u cant twave any mon with an assault vest but u will have an eletric resist on ur team.

Another suggetion i have is to run talonflame over volcarona as i can see other volcarona threathening ur team also things like serperior also threaten ur team as it can leaf storm diance/suicune get a +2 boost and sweep ur team as ur eletric type cant do much to serp and volc dosent outspeed serp and can get hit by a dragon pulse for alot of dmg and ferro can get hp fired. U can still remain a sweeper with bulk up or u can run taunt but its up to u on that.

PS: i was also thinking of replacing something on ur team for a hazard remover as ur team isnt really fond of it with a fire type and a eletric type on the team but i gotta go r/n but ill come back (if i remember too) as i need to go r/n

sets

Raikou @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
- Shadow Ball

Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Taunt/Bulk Up

Changes In Short:
Raikou>thundurs so ur team has a better time dealing with thundurs and mega manetric
Spd talonflame>Volcarona allows the team to deal with serperior and volcarona better

Hey nice team there but I see a few flaws,
U have a magor weakness to stealth rocks and no hazard removal. Diancie has magic bounce but it is relatively frail and is hit hard by earthquake a move that is common on most stealth rock setters.You have chosen gliscor to add an electric immunity but most electric types carry Hidden power Ice(and i don't to explain what happens when gliscor takes on of those.) This has made ur team even more fast electric weak as Manectric Mega usually dents everything apart from volcorona whic takes considerable damage from thunderbolts.

So for changes ,Gliscor<<latios as it take less damage from hp ice (less than roost heal)and draco OHKOs mega mane and 2HKOs most raikou set with psyshock.It also provides entry ha
SET-

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Roost

I would also change Volcorona to Talonflame as this allows you to check other volcorona,serperior,pinsir etc. which can easily set up against suicune and ferrothorn(and serps case even diancie.)
Set-
Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk/ 8 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Swords Dance /Bulk Up

lastly i would change diancie's attack to 4 and 252 SpA because zapdos is not that relevant anymore.
Oh! BTW best ferrothorn nickname ever!

Hope i helped!

Hei! Nice team there! The first team I say when i see a Volcarona is "who is the hazardz remover?". You're missing this important role, since Diancie is not Enough to avoid SR from Ferros, Hippos etc. I also noticed you're missing a real real Electric resistor since Gliscor struggles with Hp ices 'n stuff... Char X can be a problem too. For these reasons and other i'd like to suggest you two important fixes :]
I'd change Gliscor into Hippowdon and Thundurus into Zapdos.

>

The first one is a safe switch in on Raikou and Manectrics and a decent Char X counter. Sand helps your Diancie to have a little boost in Spdef and your ferro is immune so it's all good. Hippo provides you Stealth Rocks, so you can change ferrothorn's SR in Spikes and have another amazing way to keep the pressure. It helps you against MMetagross with Hammer Arm and Lopunny.

>

The second one is Zapdos. Zapdos could be a really strong mate for your team! It offers Defog in order to clean hazardz and free Volcarona, Walls Scizor, Skarmo n Ferro(that coul be a 6-0 with SR up), Walls Pinsir and helps against birdz like Talon.

Other minor changes imo are Lum Berry or Pasho berry > LO on Volcarona, Lefties and Power Whip (to Hit Manaphy) > Helmet and Gyro on Ferro and, if you're planning to keep Thundurus, Lefties > LO! And, as said, Spikes > SR on ferro (if u pick Hippo!). Oh, and use Naive>Hasty on Diancie for Sucker Punches....

Lemme Know if it helped you :]

I tested all the changes and it works better with Raikou, Latias and Talonflame. Zapdos work pretty well but it has a lot of trouble with landorus t and Hippowdon. But still i have the feeling i'm lacking a sweeper for the team.
