I've made 2 teams; 1 for when Pokebank is up and 1 untill it's released.
Pokebank OU team:
Scolipede @ Black Sludge
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Impish Nature
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
Didn't go for Choice Band as the team needs a good revenge killer and Scarf makes a better job at this than Band.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Careful Nature
Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Ability: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Bold Nature
Hex got a huge buff I think, it's now base 65 but when the opponent has a condition it power doubles, which makes it a whopping 130. With Cofagrigus decent Special Attack, it tears the opponent a new one.
Pre-Pokebank OU team:
For my pre-Pokebank OU team I tried to find Pokemon that resemble the sets/uses of the 3 I can't get in game so far (Heatran, Terrrakion, Cofagrigus). Scolipede, Gyarados and Klefki remain the same.
Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
Hex is 130 power with Twave and Rotom has high Spatk to make it effective. Can also add to the surprise part as most Rotom-W have a Volt-Switch set and don't expect a move as powerful as Hex.
Sawk (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
Thought of Lucario but he has weakness to common ground and fire moves, which don't work in it's favor compared to Sawk.
Going with Ice Punch over Poison Jab if I can breed it on Sawk in this gen (possibly with Hitmonchan) as it knows the move in gen5.
Aegislash @ Air Balloon
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spd
Adamant Nature
Sacred Sword over Iron head cause of better type coverage.
Although it does leave the team with 3 Pokemon that are weak to ground and fire (Scolipede, Klefki, Aegislash) so I might switch it out.
Possible Aegislash alternatives:
Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Careful Nature
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
Very bulky and hits like a truck. Again took Rock Slide over Stone Edge due to bettter accuracy.
Still has the ground weakness but no fire weakness.
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Roost
Hydreigon's Draco Meteor is insanely powefull. Not many Pokemon will like to switch in on it, even with neutral coverage. Life Orb boosts it to even greater hights.
Earth Power and Flamethrower are for coverage, Roost heals off any Life Orb dmg.
No earth or frire weakness and is Special Attack based (only one in the team is; Rotom-W).
Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance / Roost
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
Moveset makes good use of Weakness Policy.
Perhaps switch Dragon Dance for Roost (to reset Multiscale).
No fire and earth weakness, though another physical attacker.
I have had success with all 3 of them though I'm more inclined to go for Hydreigon to balance the pre-Pokebank team type coverages.
