302Sableye.png

Sableye (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Foul Play
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
This Sableye does wonders in OU, and also gives a switch in for any fighting move which can hit the whole team quite hard.Basically all this sableye does is Taunt than burn, and than stall out occasionally using foul play to quicken things up. And After he burns the opponent he can take the majority of physical attacks easily.


376Metagross.png

Metagross @ Occa Berry
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Meteor Mash
- Hammer Arm
- Bullet Punch
Standard Metagross, sets up rocks, and with occa berry can survive some impressive fire moves from Hydreigon, Darmanitan, Arcanine, Infernape, and even certain volcaronas fiery dance

Houndoom (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute
Houndoom has always been a huge part of the team, and with life orb and one or 2 Nasty plots has the ability to sweep quite easily. Dark Pulse after a Nasty Plot can OHKO Jellicents. Doom is also a great counter to ferrothorn.

Jolteon (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Jolteon's high base speed, allows for choice specs to work out quite well. HP ice is majorly for the common dragons and the occasional hippowdon. Shadow Ball surprises a great deal of people who chose to leave a Gengar or an Chandelure in.

Zoroark (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Illusion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Flamethrower
My favorite poke from 5th gen. Zoro's ability is fun, and very useful when disguised as Sableye for no weakness's and people always taunt me when i can get off a dark pulse or Focusblast. I know the majority of Zoros that are used are LO and Nasty plotters but i prefer this set because i can get off at least 2 attacks twoards any opponent, with his great coverage.

Snowflake (Aggron) (M) @ Shell Bell
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Head Smash
- Substitute
- Autotomize
- Earthquake
Aggron, has always been a poke that i've liked but is very hard to adapt into the current metagame, Even with all his shortcomings (such as no attack boosting moves) once subbed' he can head smash to his hearts content dealing big chunks of damage to even those who resist it. Head smash does however have a tendency to miss all the time and with Aggrons 4x weakness to earthquake and Close combat he rarely lasts long. After one automize his speed is at 398.


Thats my team, and it does quite well sometimes, the main problems i encounter with this team however is Volcarona and scarfed terrakion. They both sweep my team with little difficulty. If at all possible i would love to keep Doom, and Zoro. The poke that i would change first would most likely be Sableye. Well thanks for taking the time to read this and i appreciate all feedback
 
Mosokra, interesting team. You mentioned your weaknesses to Scarf Terrakion; Slowbro is the perfect counter. It has great physical defence, instant recovery, and moves such as Scald and Psychic to beat it down. In my experience, even Terrakion's X-Scissor only does about 45% to max defence Slowbro, and usually it'll be choice locked into something different anyway. Here's the set:

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Regenerator
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Thunder Wave
- Psychic
- Slack Off

I would place this over Sableye, who really only serves to annoy the opponent.

As for your Volcarona weakness, may I suggest Dragonite? It is very strong and has access to a powerful boosting move in Dragon Dance, and recovery in Roost should you want it. It's strong Outrages do insane damage, hitting on Volcarona's weak defence stat. Dragonite can easily revenge kill Volcaronas with HP Rock (thanks to Multiscale), and has nothing to fear from those that don't. It is also very versatile, being able to function as a sweeper, wall, supporter, or a wallbreaker. I think you would like the DD set in particular:

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Multiscale
252 Atk / 4 Spd / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch
- Extremespeed

I suggest using this to replace you Aggron, who is another weak link in your team. Dragonite might not pack quite as big a punch right off the bat as Aggron, but after a DD or two, Dragonite racks up some serious damage and is much longer-lasting than Aggron.

Hope this helps.
 
Actually, I just ran some calcs, Scarfed Terrakion will never 2HKO that Slowbro with X-Scissor. Neither will a Banded Terrakion, barring Sandstorm/Hail or Stealth Rocks. (assuming Jolly-natured Terrakion)
