Hey so this is my first team I’ve ever made since I just take teams from ladder or from here. Please give good feedback :)
Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Wave
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
Nidoking is the Pokémon I built around this team because I have read a lot of posts about it being a good Wallbreaker, and not surprisingly it is! I ran the standard set but replaced substitute with flamethrower since it hit Corviknight and provides more coverage. The Pokémon below will support Nidoking as it is weak to faster threat, psychic types, ground types, and specially defensive tanks which all OHKO it or hit hard with stab super effective moves.
Pheromosa @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Triple Axel
- U-turn
- Drill Run
Standard Smogon set but Drill run instead of rapid spin. So Pheromosa is another wallbreaker like Nidoking, it is the third fastest Pokémon in OU so it usually eliminates other faster threats. Also it kills psychic and ground types with a STAB High Jump Kick, Triple Axel, or pivots/kills with U-Turn. Pheromosa is just so good and I knew it had to team up with Nidoking to take on OU’s most bulky walls.
(Some reason I can’t upload Images or get a emote of Urshifu)
Urshifu @ Black Glasses
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Wicked Blow
- Sucker Punch
- Close Combat
So this is another Standard Smogon set (yet again). This is the Single Strike version as the water one did not fit my needs. Urshifu kills Psychic types, Ground Types, surprises fairy types like clefable with iron head, and is another good wallbreaker. I chose Black Glasses as I already had two life orb users and it just seemed fit. It kills Spectrier as it revenge killed and tended to sweep my team with its chilling neigh ability. Bulk up is not in this variant as I usually cannot set up and doing extra damage with iron head is more needed.
Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 116 Def / 144 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Flamethrower
- Roost
- Hurricane
Moltres is one of my bulky Pokémon and it deserves that title. It ignores hazard weakness with Heavy-Duty Boots and provides hazard removal with defog. Hurricane is on the set because I can stall physical attackers with roost and hopefully they get burned by flame body. Two stab attacks makes sure Moltres packs a punch too. Its only 1/2 tanks on my team.
Swampert @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Yawn
- Earthquake
- Flip Turn
- Stealth Rock
Swampert is my second tank. I took this set from battle stadium singles on accident since I thought it was a OU set but it was good so I went with it. It’s my rock setter to punish pokemon switching into swampert and trying to set up on it. Yawn is nice as rapid spinners and defogger switching in to get rid of rocks get put to sleep unless they switch again which lets me bring in Nidoking or another wallbreaker. Hits ground types with STAB flip turn and is a cool pivot.
Heliolisk @ Expert Belt
Ability: Sand Veil
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot
Heliolisk is my only non OU Pokémon on the team. Its actually really good considering it being in RU rn. Why Heliolisk over Tapu Koko, Regeleki, Zapdos or any electric type? Well Heliolisk is a good Special attacker, good movepool and resist ghost moves. Spectrier gets destoryed by Heliolisk when it usually sweeps my team late game. Also focus blasts just OHKOs Tyrantiar and Heliolisk enjoys the sand veil boost from sand stream. Grass knot also kills swampert which is just a Pokémon that takes hits but doesn’t do much damage back to my other Pokemon so it’s nice to get rid of it. Rain teams also cry to STAB thunderbolt and sets with substitute hate hyper voice STAB too.
Threats: Hawlucha and Araquanid
Thanks for viewing my team and I’m gonna be looking to feedback! :)

P.S I maxed out 1328 on ladder with it and just went inactive on showdown
