OU Gengar and his nightmare infected friends

[garchomp11111]

First glance at the team

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
- Destiny Bond

This gengar set's focus is to take at least one pokemon every match.The first two move have perfect coverage meaning you can just spam these moves.Taunt stops non damaging moves which pairs perfectly well with destiny bond.With gengar's high speed,destiny bond is incredible and also extremely pairs well with gengar.Gengar can even brought foes like tyranitar to die with him.The EVS are to hit as hard as you can and the timid nature+252 Spd evs to outspeed as much as u can.Life Orb makes the perfect coverage moves incredible especially when paired with gengar's 130 sp.atk.

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake

What's so good about mega gyarados?The typing is probably the only thing that makes mega gyarados amazing.Water/Flying and water/dark are entierly different typings and can play around easily when dragon dancing.The EVS are for the ability to outspeed and hits foes hard after a DD.Waterfall for STAB and earthquake/ice fang pairs amazing coverage with.It can also hit SE to rotom-w and venusaur super effectively.

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Specs Analytic Zone has again sheer power.Thanks to zone's awful speed and 130 special attack,analytic specs magnezone is a true threat.Band aegi has a 225 base attack and magnezone specs analytic has a frightening 253 base special attack(just want to say that this magnezone hits harder than a physically offensive band aegislash).Thunderbolt is the hardest hitting move in the list and is sure to leave the foe a dent.Volt Switch for scouting,volt switch is amazing on magnezone coming from this frightening sheer power which allows magnezone to run and severly hurt the mon.Flash Cannon for fairies but the main reason is STAB.HP ice allows to deal with lando twins,gliscor and garchomp switch ins which KOs all of them.The EVS are to be a bulky sweeper but honestly,just investing there to get outsped as much as possible.Using 30 spd ivs to get outsped by base 60 speed mons(Aegislash) while still outspeeding azumarill and conkeldurr.

Terrakion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

Terrakion acts as a strong physical sweeper who can take care of skarmory after stealth rock while also being the double set up sweeper of the team.This set is quite standard-SD for stall teams and rock polish for offensive teams.Terra's STABs gives it pretty amazing coverage so double dancing terrakion is amazing in my team.Terrakion now acts a SR supporter rather than a sweeper now.It's moves has ridiculous coverage(well it's STABs has) and EQ in addition for aegislash.

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Thunderbolt

Sweeping latios.Latios deals with fighting types that troubles with the team while also being a dragon type.Defog here now for clearing hazards and the STAB moves for power.T-bolt can deal with bulky waters and flyings with the example being mega pinsir.

Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Ice Punch
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick
- Knock Off

Weavile is quite an interesting pokemon for the team but with it's great power and unique style,i have started to like it.Most of the fighting types bar conk is handled well too(COnk is the best check for the team sadly)and weavile has such sheer power.Knock Off+Ice SHard has shut off too many pokemons and ice punch/low kick are for additional situation but far from being a filler.

Ok,i have finished my RMT so plz rate my team guys.I have quite a stealth rock weakness as i look back at the team.

You may want to give Terrakion a Band with Earthquake and X-Scissor instead of the two stat boosters. Also, have you ever considered replacing Kyurem B and Gyarados with Tyranitar Mega and Excadrill. This would give you a wall, 2 new sweepers, and a Spinner. You could also replace Magnezone with Heatran and have a more bulky set.

Hi!

This is a pretty interesting team, seems like standard offense that pounds away at the opponent until Scarf Kyurem can clean up. It's definitely a nice thought, but I think the team can be cleaned up a bit to make that goal more easily reached. First, your team lacks a Stealth Rocker, which is never good. Stealth Rock will put pressure on your opponent as they switch around trying to stop all of your threatening Pokemon. Conkeldurr, Keldeo, and other Fighting types also seem to be an issue, as you have (potentially) four Pokemon weak to Fighting, and your only way of dealing with them is to sac Gengar, which you may need for something else. So first, I would change Terrakion to a SR set. You already have two win conditions (Scarf Kyurem-B and DD Gyarados), so having a third is really not necessary. Instead, you can put Stealth Rock on it, while still maintaining the massive offensive pressure that Terrakion brings to the team. Second, I don't think Magnezone is necessary to the team. Instead, I think you should use Latios instead. Latios is another powerful wallbreaker, and one which greatly helps with your weakness to Keldeo and somewhat for Conkeldurr. Furthermore, it provides Defog support for your team, which is desperately needed with two Pokemon weak to it. Thunderbolt can also hit Azumarill if you predict right, which can be an issue. I see Scizor as being an issue with the changes I made, so you may want to switch Gengar's set to a Sub Will-O-Wisp one, which can make it much easier to deal with as well as Azumarill, but that change is entirely subjective. I really don't like sacrificing a Pokemon with Destiny Bond when it can beat them just fine without it.

Anyway, I hope I was able to help. Good luck with the team!

Hey garchomp11111, I'm here to rate your team. Synergy wise it looks pretty solid but has a pretty huge Azumarill weakness and no solid switch ins at all. Seeing as your team is pretty well rounded already I only have a couple of changes to help it run smoother.

1. Gengar
Taunt and 3 attacks OR Destiny Bond and 3 attacks are both really good sets, but running both Destiny Bond and Taunt on the same set is less than optimal. Ghost / Fighting is perfect coverage in terms of neutrality but you lack a key STAB that would give you a leg up on Azumarill. Swapping out Taunt for Sludge Wave gives you a way to revenge kill Fairies and Grass types. Sludge Wave is preferred over Sludge Bomb simply because it does 5% more damage and doesn't let Chesnaught wall you. Sludge Bomb is definitely viable and is more of a personal preference type thing. Another thing would be the take the 4 HP EVs and place them into a defensive stat in order to take 9% from Life Orb recoil instead of the previous 10%.

2. Terrakion
You lack any kind of hazard control for your team and it's weighing your team down heavily. Try changing the set of Terrakion to that of a hazard setting lead:

Hide

Terrakion @ Focus Sash
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat

EVs are standard so there is no need to explain them. Stone Edge and Close Combat are the preferred STABs for lead Terrakion so again that was obvious. Earthquake allows you to hit Aegislash who would otherwise wall you and finally Stealth Rock gives you some hazards that your team desperately needed. Focus Sash allows you to get a guaranteed Stealth Rocks up and provide a ton of pressure to help keep them up for a while.

3. Latios > Kyurem-Black
On top of now having Stealth Rock to work with, you also need something to keep the hazards away. You had a slight problem with Keldeo and I felt you still needed a Dragon type. For all these reasons I am suggesting Defog Latios to replace Kyurem-Black. The set that I use is this:

Hide

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Defog
- Psyshock

Standard Defog Latios with a bit of a lure thrown in. Pokemon such as Azumarill and Skarmory would otherwise wall this set if you hadn't had Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt also gives you more coverage and can hit neutrally against most Steel types who resist both Latios' STABs. Draco Meteor and Psyshock are the preferred STABs and Defog is for more hazard control. The EVs are very standard so no need to explain them. Life Orb is for as much power as you can get and Timid Nature allows you to out pace neutral nature 110's and everything below.

Good luck with the team in the future and don't hesitate to ask me for another rate.

EDIT: user Halcyon. just took everything I said in Skype and posted it before me, pls ban for plagiarism, ty :]

@Mangojean100:You don't have a reason why i should choose them and i'm not sure what you are saying either.

Halcyon and Nog:I've decided to use SR terrakion with your moveset but i don't want to go with focus sash so i decided life orb to stay.I've decided to replace my gengar set but not quite sure what set should i go with.I've decided to go with latios as nog suggested but i don't quite need defog so i decide to go with psyshock,draco meteor,thunderbolt and roost.

PS:I don't really know why u guys hate magnezone,he's good.

Thanks for rating guys.

And i will PM/VM u if i do another team.

 

[garchomp11111]

Clefable (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Flamethrower
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Calm Mind

Clefable deals with fighting types with unaware.I'm interested in using him because i am having trouble with set up sweepers/

 

[Nog]

If you take out Gengar your Azumarill weakness gets even bigger. Now that you have way too many Life Orb users, try running a Focus Sash Gengar for great revenge killing capabilities. Also take 4 HP EVs from Latios and place them in Def so you take less from Stealth Rock damage and Life Orb recoil.

Terrakion hits way harder with a Band, destroying most of the metagame. Tyranitar would be good for Mega Gyarados because it can still be Mega, most of your team is immune to Sandstorm and it is a great wall as your other guys are kind of frail. I have used Magnezone before and it is good, just Heatran is better in my opinion but it's entirely your choice. They both do the same thing anyway. You should also make Latios more bulky as it doesn't need 252 Spd EVs to outspeed everything. I'm going to go do some calcs right now but I'll be back later.

 

[garchomp11111]

@Nog:I don't mean i will take out gengar bro i was considering clefable over latios but it doesn't turn to work out so the team is as it looks like it is now.There is only one but huge change which is using weavile over landorus and turns to work out well.I decided to run your defog set for latios.

@Mangojean100:Band terrakion is nice but i need stealth rock for the team and terrakion also happens to be an execellent user to it.Mega Tyra looks interesting but that grants a nasty fairy and fighting weakness for the team unfortunately.Yeah,mega gyara also has the same weakness but i can just sweep with normal gyara anyway.
