OU Team for the ages...

Team at a Glance

Hey there! This is my first post on this site and heres my team. I've been testing this on Shoddy and it has been quite successful, getting me a rating of 1410.

Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs:6 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock

This Guy Helps me set up stealth rock, which is a very big threat in standard. Stealth Rock helps my other Pokemon sweep easier too. Taunt helps me stop other leads by stopping them from setting up.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def/ 80 SpA/ 176 SpD
Nature: Calm
- Wish
- Fire Blast
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave

Blissey is my special wall. She blocks most special attackers. Fire Blast is here because plenty of Scizor switch in to her, expecting a switch, they use Swords Dance. Sadly, they die to Fire Blast. Thunder Wave is for crippling and Wish is for Wish Passing, especially for Rotom. Seismic toss is for some damage against special attackers who resist/ cannot be damaged badly by Fire Blast.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 20 Atk/ 252 SpA/ 236 Spe
Nature: Naive
- Flamethrower
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- HP ice

I haven't seen all-out attacking mixape around lately. So it seemed like a good chance to use it. I've seen Swampert switch in to him, but it falls so grass knot. Rhyperior also dies to grass knot, also Hippowdon. Close Combat takes care of Blissey and Snorlax.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability:Intimidate
EVs:156 Hp/ 108 Atk/ 100 Def/ 144 Spe
Nature: Adamant
- Taunt
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge

The Classic Bulky Gyarados. Taunt shuts down walls allow me to Dragon Dance as they continue hitting me, there was one battle I had where I got 6 DD's and sweeped. Waterfall and Stone Edge grant great type coverage. He can also counter Scizor and Scarftran.

Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Hp/ 160 Atk/ 96 Def
Nature: Impish
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
- Explosion

My spinner. I don't set up with this guy. He counters DD Tyranitar without Flamethrower. Not much else to say about him, I plan to replace him.

Rotom-H @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 168 Hp/ 252 SpA/ 88 Spe
Nature: Modest
- Discharge
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat
- Trick

Rotom-H is my spin blocker and "Pseudo-Sweeper" as I like to call it. 168 Hp for prolonged survivability, 88 Speed lets it outspeed Breloom with 212 speed and 252 Special Attack for power. Discharge has a 30 % paralysis chance which is good. Shadow Ball for stab.

wish is not reliable without protect either put protect on blissey too or just switch it to softboiled. spikes or toxic spikes on fortress would be good too, to cause some residual damage
edit:and blissey really should have max defense ev's so it survive psychical sweepers.

 

[Master_Sora]

Thanks, I'll try testing protect and Softboiled.

 

[Darkmalice]

Blissey should have 252 Def / 176 SDef / 80 SAtt. HP makes extremely little difference on Blissey, and 252 Def doubles its defence. Change her movepool to Wish, Protect, Toxic and Flamethrower. Protect enables Wish to reliably heal as her well and to scout for CB moves - will CB Tyranitar Crunch or Pursuit? Toxic > Thunderwave, as it has great synergy with Protect, and enables Blissey to beat Zapdos and walls like Dusknoir, Hippowdon and Swampert, as well as Restless Cresselia. Flamethrower > Fire Blast for accuracy; you cannot afford that miss on Scizor.

Spikes > Tspikes. You will find few of your opposing pokes are affected by Tspikes, thanks to all the Steel pokes being used these days. Spikes affects more pokes. As well, Blissey has Toxic, and Tentacruel immediately removes Tspikes, but if he tries to Spin, Rotom will easily wall him.

I would max the SAtt on Rotom, instead of maxing HP. It has Specs, and wants as much power as possible. SAtt > HP on Specs and Scarf pokemon. As well, HP is less of an issue when it has Wish support.

 

[reyscarface]

Yeah dont use Wish without protect, bad idea.

Mix Electivire isnt gicing you problems?
I see you are a little weak to him.
Thanks god you got Rotom to cover him, but, what if Rotom faints. YIKES :O!!!

A cresselia support may help you on your team, since you plan to switch forrie.

 

[Upa]

You should take out Flamethrower from nape and put Fire Bast . Since there is hardly any difference and Fire blast hits harder.

Also you should use Overheat on blissey ( wait, does it learn that? I'm not sure) if it learns it, that is.
