Hi. First time ever making my own team. I thought it was time to take a crack at teambuilding in SS OU. So here I am. I really enjoy spamming thunder wave to cripple unsuspecting passerby and this is what I managed to cook up.
tohru (Dragapult) (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Infiltrator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hex
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder Wave
- U-turn
Dragapult is here because she is a really speedy mon that hits like a small island with hex once the opposing mons are paralysed. It can also throw out some thunder waves here and there when the opponent is forced to switch out. Draco Meteor is here for crippling pokemon immune to Twave and u-turn is for momentum.
Aurobarb (Ferrothorn) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 52 Atk / 208 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Thunder Wave
- Gyro Ball
This is my favorite ferrothorn set to use as it can throw out thunder wave, leech seed and rocks haphazardly without a care in this godforsaken world. This mon is also here to punish those pesky surging strikes spamming Urshifu-R that were foolish enough to not bring protective pads. I was wondering if Power Whip or Gyro Ball would have been better since Power Whip hits ground type mons hard, but Gyro Ball hits fairies and makes sure substitute mons like Kommo-O can't get their boosts. I ultimately opted for Gyro Ball as I have personally found much more use for it.
zapzwei (Zapdos) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
EVs: 248 HP / 228 Def / 32 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Discharge
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Defog
This is my defogger and ground immune and the last pokemon in this team able to send others to the hospital with its paralysis spam. Is also here to punish moves without protective pads like Surging Strikes and Double Iron Bash.
Bacon Oil (Mamoswine) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 112 HP / 216 Atk / 16 Def / 64 SpD / 100 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Rock Tomb
One of my favorite mons. Has that signature Chinese Emvee EV spread. Eliminates both typings immune to paralysis with its STAB attacks. Crushes flying types that think they can switch into earthquake. Restrains speedier pokéman with rock tomb. Great mon overall.
umbre:off (Umbreon) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Wish
- Protect
- Heal Bell
Another Emvee special (yes I'm a big fan). I'm extremely paranoid about my pokemon suffering to status conditions (even though I'm usually the one doing that to the opponents) so I just put this cleric in here to make sure everything goes smoothly. I also have zapdos so I think it's relatively safe to put another mon weak to fighting in here.
moustachiona (Mienshao) (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
If only Joey knew about this mon (he really should stop making teams weak to Kyu and Volc). Absolutely SMASHES +1 Volcarona and Kyurem. Jolly to outspeed Timid +1 Volcarona and Scarf Kyurem. Regenerator over Reckless because 90% accuracy HJK is obviously a typo and is supposed to be 9.0% and Regenerator also makes hazards less scary. Close Combat over HJK because no Reckless. Knock off can be changed to Poison Jab to hit fairies but I like knock off more. Rock slide over stone edge because its only use is bullying volcarona and stone edge only has 8.0% accuracy. U-Turn for momentum.
I've played showdown for a while, but I obviously lack experience in OU so i'm open to any changes or tips!
Peace.
