1st OU RMT That Wasn't Blocked (at least not yet)
I've started to get into Shoddy Battle more lately and made up a team. I did not have an actual goal when making this team. I kind of just went through the OU list and picked out some of my faves. After that I picked out some of my weaknesses and I started winning, but I still have some weaknesses.
At a glance:
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Jolly
252 Att/6Def/252Spd
Taunt
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Aero's job is to put rocks up and possibly even take out a Pokemon. Depending on the Pokemon I either Taunt or put up Rocks. If I can hit the other lead for super-effectiveness I'll go for the kill. If a scarf-Jirachi shows up then I will switch to my Heatran since I can take it down in one hit. It is a very good lead and it does its job.
Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive
6HP/252SP.Att/252Spd
Fire Blast
Earth Power
Explosion
Dragon Pulse
Whenever one of my Pokemon goes down ,and if Heatran has an advantage, I'll send him in for the kill. Fire Blast is there for STAB and will really hurt anything. Earth Power is there for coverage. Dragon pulse to take out those pesky dragons and for solid coverage. Explosion is for when Heatran is about to faint anyway or to take out a troublesome foe. Explosion has not been very effective for me so I'm considering changing it to something else.
Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive
252Att/64SP.Att/192Spd
Overheat
Mach Punch
Close Combat
U-Turn
This is the standard Physical Mix-Ape. Close Combat destroys anything that is weak to it and severely damages anything that is neutral. Mach Punch is there for picking off weakened opponents. Overheat is there to provide more coverage along with STAB. U-Turn is there to switch out while causing damage.
Metagross @ Leftovers
Adamant
252HP/252Att/6SP.Def
Bullet Punch
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Rock Polish
Metagross is my setup sweeper. After one Rock Polish it out-speeds nearly anything that is not scarfed. After that I plow through the opponent's team with Earthquake and Ice Punch. Bullet Punch is there to take out more weakened foes. I put the EVs so that Metagross could take some hits and then destroy the opposing Pokemon.
Starmie @ Expert Belt
Timid
252SP.Att/252Spd/6SP.Def
Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Psychic
I put Starmie into my team mostly to stop Gyarados and Infernape. I am still deciding whether to take out Psychic and put in Recover so any advice on this would be great. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam, as we all know, have great coverage together and they together take out many threats. Hydro Pump really dishes out a lot of damage to just about anything.
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Adamant
162HP/252Att/96Spd
Spore
Substitute
Seed Bomb
Focus Punch
This is my new favorite Pokemon. Breloom switches in against usually any Water Pokemon and Forretress. I use Spore to put the enemy to sleep and then I use Substitute. Then the domination begins. Even if the enemy Pokemon resists Focus Punch, it will take a lot of damage. Seed Bomb is there for Gyarados who thinks that it will easily take out Breloom. Breloom has swept entire teams before and I will probably continue to use it throughout my future teams.
Thanks for reading and criticize away!
