OU Offensive Bulk

[LuistheNinja]

Team at a Glance.

Basically we are dealing with an all OU pokemons (didnt noticed until the team was finally done). The main idea is to deal enough damage with each pokemon while SR helps on the way.​

Azelf @ Focus Sash *** Link
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -SpDef)

- Stealth Rock
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Psychic
- Explotion

Description: Azelf, the most common lead (in my personal opinion). It sets the rocks up and can score a KO most of the times. With the stats its able to counter msot pokemon, a bit to fragile and a suicidal lead. Im thinking of ditching explotion sicne its main purpose its taking Blissey out but since Azelf became so common Blissey no longer switches in into Azelf, any suggestions? (and no I dont like Taunt). Fire Blast scores a HKO on Bronzong, after that is a bit pointless.

Standard EV's the basic lead Azelf.

Machamp @ Life Orb *** WTFimAgirl
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+ Atk, - SpAtk)

- Dynamic Punch
- Stonde Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Description: Machamp...my girly girl lol, he takes down the Dark types such as Weavile who score a SE move on 3 of my pokemons. He also absorbs status for the team specially Sleep and int he meanwhile taking some of the oponent's pokemon down or scoring some decent damage. Added Life Orb over Leftovers for more power, the "recoil" from LO will be healed by Rest. Not much to say.

Dusknoir @ Leftovers *** Dark Shade
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Natue (+Atk, -SpAtk)

- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Shadow Sneak
- Pain Split

Description: This guy is awesome, it covers my gengar weakness by taking it down with Shadow Sneak before Gengar can even say: Boo! Else than that Fighting + Ghost hit everything for atleast Neutral Damage. Pain Split is useful for a method of "healing" if predicted well its nice to switch-in a Blissey and heal all your health then finish it with Focus Punch. I was considering Lum Berry over Leftovers for those Blisseys with Toxic/Thunder Wave or fellow Ghosts with Will-o-Wisp I know Substitute is supposed to block that but Dusknoir is sometimes too slow to set-up the Sub before they target it with Status.

Celebi @ Life Orb *** LetuceHead
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 204 HP / 20 Def / 252 SpAtk / 32 Spd
Modest Nature (+SpAtk, -Atk)

- Thunder Wave
- Leaf Storm
- Rest
- Psychic

Description: This little fellow is part of the Power House fo the team. You will see why on the description of the next Poke. Thunder Wave cripples the opponent while packing some power with either STAB Attack, Leaf Storm is a powerful move, after my attack is being reduced I can Rest to recover all the damage then Switch to get Rest removed. The main purpose is to Thunder Wave as many pokemons as possible so the next guy can Sweep.

Heatran @ Power Herb *** HeaTRANNY
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+Sp Atk, -Spd)
- Flamethrower
- HP Ice
- Earthpower
- Solar Beam

Description: Precenting CeleTran lol a recent invention which Im tryin to work out, as you can see Heatran and Celebi (even with its 7 weaknesses) counter each other weaknesses since Heatran resists all of Celebi's weaknesses. Anyways, after Celebi has done its job and paralyzing as most pokemons as possible Heatran can come in and try to perform a Sweep, with Power Herb I can blast a Solar Beam in only one turn hitting for a perfect 1HKO on Swampert and I can still hit Zapdos and other Dragons for Super Effective damage, Flamethrower for STAB and Earthpower for coverage. I need suggestions on this guy, shoudl I run the Scarftran moveset?

Gyarados @ Leftovers *** Dragoon
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/ 108 Atk / 106 Def / 144 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpAtk).

- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake

Description: Gyarados is my late game sweeper, when most of my pokemons or my opponent's pokemons are down this guy si supposed to swith-in and set up for a sweep. I ran the Standard BulkyGyara EV Spread with a slight change on the Nature, Impish gives it alot more bulkiness, paired with Intimidate makes it a decent physical defender, not a wall. Water types are hard for Gyara to take down, Celebi hopefully will deal with them before Gyara sets-up. It has a nice welcomed Inmunnity to Ground to back up Heatran.

Just another Look at the Team:

Any comment is appreciated, and thanks for reading so far!
I will post a thread list a little later today.​

Well 1st of change the Nature of Azelf to Naive so you will hit harder with explosion. I really don't understand the power herb heatran it is useless. I would rather recommend the sub Heatran set with HP Grass over Solarbeam, since your using a power herb for just 1 attack while you can switch into fire attacks and sub up and then feel free to attack with a life orb. Dusknoir also confuses me i would rather change the Dusknoir to a Gengar since you don't have much speed on your team. I would recommend scarf Gengar, since you can hit things hard and switch. Scizor won't be a problem since you have some weird ass bulky Gyarados spread i've never seen before. If you are making the Gyarados that bulky why not just give it rest so it can Rest of all the SR damage it takes, since you have no Rapid Spinner. Your Celebi needs recover>Rest. It pretty much does the same thing but you don't need to sleep for 2 turns. Just use recover also why would you need grass+psychic those 2 attacks aren't good at all. I would rather use HP Fire/Twave/Grass Knot/Recover or Earth Power/Twave/Grass Knot/Recover. One kills Scizors the other kills Heatrans. You may not need them since you have that weird ass Gyarados but still better than psychic, unless you are specifically trying to counter breloom..which makes no sense since ur using rest!>_>. Anyways the team looks decent just change most of the spreads

Hey

On Azelf, use a Naive nature instead of a Timid nature. With a Naive nature, Azelf's Explosion becomes more powerful. I would also suggest using an EV spread of 252 Spe/ 200 Atk/56 SpA. With that EV spread, Explosion will become significantly more powerful and will deal large amounts of damage to Pokemon who even resist Explosion.

Your EV spread on Celebi looks a bit messy. On this team , you want Celebi to be able to counter Gyarados who can potentially deal large amounts of damage to each and every one of your Pokemon after a DD. To make Celebi more capable of dealing with Gyarados I suggest using a bulkier spread of 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe with a Bold Nature. The EVs give Celebi excellent physical defense making it capable of safely handling threats such as Gyarados, Breloom, and Bulky Waters such as Vaporeon and Suicune thanks to Celebi's high HP. The Speed EV's allow celebi to outrun Jolly Tyranitar meaning you can attack them before they can attack you. I would also change your Celebi's moveset completly. There is no need to use Rest on Celebi when Celebi has access to Recover. Recover gives Celebi an instant recovery move instead of having to wait two turns sleeping with Rest. I would use Grass Knot over Leaf Storm. Leaf Storm lowers your Special Attack drastically while Grass Knot helps you combat Suicune,Vaporeon and Gyarados for a longer period of time. In addition, change Celebi's item to Leftovers. Leftovers will give celebi an additional means of recovery allowing Celebi to last even longer.

I would make Heatran a Sub-Salac-Sweeper by changing its Power Herb to a Salac Berry. It will help you more because it gives you the option of a high-speed sweep if the situation calls for it. Sub-Salac Heatran is a very scary threat in the late game. Replace Solarbeam for Substitute. Substitute protects Heatran from status which can prove to be very helpful during the match. I would also suggest using a Timid nature so you can have a speed tie with other Timid scarfed Heatran's. After a Salac Berry boost, Heatran's speed will reach a total of 417 Speed. This allows you to outspeed Salamence before a DD, Lucario and tie with Scarfed Heatran. When Bulky Waters have been killed by your Celebi, this Heatran is ready to cause some serious damage to your opponents team. Use Heatran's brilliant typing to switch in on a resisted move. Heatran can then Substitute down to 25% health to activate Salac Berry, keep the substitute, outspeed Pokemon such as Mence before a DD and OHKO with HP Ice. Then you use the luxury of being able to switch between your moves to Earth Power their Heatran, before sweeping the rest of their team with Fire Blast.

Why use an Impish Nature on Gyarados? With that bulky EV spread you have, Gyarados is more than capable of taking various hits without an Impish nature. Use an Adamant nature. Adamant gives Gyarados more attacking power allowing it to deal more damage to Gyarados's common switch-ins. I would also think about running Taunt over Earthquake and replacing Ice Fang with Stone Edge. Taunt allows Gyarados to stop Phazers such as Skarmory and Swampert from Roaring/Whirlwinding away your stat boost and also allows Gyarados to stop Pokemon from statusing it. Waterfall basically provides the same coverage as Earthquake since Waterfall hits many of the things Earthquake hits for Super effective damage such as Fire, Ground, and Rock types. Stone Edge is superior to Ice Fang in my opinion. Stone Edge hits eveything Ice Fang hit for super effective damage except for Grass types like Celebi. Stone Edge still hits Flying types like Salamence, Zapdos and opposing Gyarados.

Lastly, since your team is quite slow, I would think about running a Scarfed Gengar like Light-Kun suggested. Gengar will add some Speed to your team and will revenge kill a variety of threats such as Salamence, Gyarados and opposing Gengar. Just use the standard moveset of Shadow Ball/Hidden Power Ice/Trick/Focus Blast with 252 Spe/252SpA/6HP with a Timid Nature. Hidden Power Ice is picked over Thunderbolt because you already have Celebi to deal with Gyarados while you have little to deal with Salamence. SHadow Ball is for STAB, Focus Blast is to hit Pokemon like Tyranitar for super effective damage. Trick allows you to cripple opposing walls such as Blissey who tend to switch into Gengar alot.

Overall, nice team. Hope I helped and good luck ^_^
