So, this is an RMT. I'm not sure if my team has peaked it's ranking (1800) because I stink at playing pokemon, or because it stinks at being a good team. I need you guys to tell me which one is the case;
AT A GLANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually Water (Reuniclus) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes to make it water type guys.
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Recover
Reuniclus is, in the very humble opinion of a new to 6th gen pokemon player, the most underrated threat of 6th gen OU. First of all, it is obviously water type, since it is blue. Everybody knows all blue pokemon are water type, and nobody will ever suspect it is actually psychic type. Anyways, Reuniclus is my switch in on all things walls, as I can treated to set up on them with a combo of CM/Recover. If they switch to a threat, I usually wimp out and switch to an appropriate check, but if they don't, shadow ball is for the revenge killing Aegislash, and Psychic is for everything else. Is that three lines of description there? I hope so. EVs for max defense, since CM is used constantly. Oh and just to give a sense of how powerful this guy is, TTar pursuit does around 38% w/o switch out. (But is bound to crit)
Gli (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 184 Def / 252 HP / 72 Spd
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Toxic
Reuniclus hates physical attacks. Gliscor doesn't. Yay synergy! So, Gliscor just toxics and then sub/protects, often switching out on anything faster because everything carries ice beam or ice punch. If the opponent doesn't rage quit because of sub/protect spam, Rotom-W is the number 1 switch that takes everything that an opponent tries to throw at Gli. If they set up, and are faster than me or have priority, I switch immediately. Standard EVs.
Rotom (Rotom-Wash) @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Rest
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
#1 pokemon used in OU? Here's a spot on my team Rotom-Wash. Rotom takes all the special attacks Gliscor can't and Gliscor takes all the special attacks Rotom can't. Rotom/Gliscor is my true core, Reuniclus is just there to take special moves that Rotom is weak to, and physical moves that Gliscor is weak too, and offer SOME offensive presence. EVs for max special defense.
Conk (Conkeldurr) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Payback
Defensive core that I can switch a lot internally with. Check. Something to take the inevitable status and revenge kill. Um....well reuniclus... ok, no. Conkeldurr is perfect for this team, being a pure fighting type that can hold it's own against the TTar that this team hates, and revenge kill the pesky weaville that simply destroys my whole core. I used to run Power-up-punch in place of Mach Punch, but none of my other pokes have priority, and Noivern is often out sped by a speed baton passed sweeper. Darn scollipedes running around light-speed everywhere. EVs for bulk and power because I don't care about speed nor Spa.
Ability: Infiltrator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Draco Meteor
- Boomburst
- Focus Blast
Standard Noivern, aka The weak link. Noivern gets kills yes, maybe 2 a game, but always seems underpowered, only being able to pick off threats with a slight amount of hp left. I would love to replace it, but with the many pokemon that I've tried in it's place, none have been able to do what Noivern does, kill things behind Substitutes, also named Gliscor. Evs standard.
Thundurus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
- Nasty Plot
Thunderus functions much better in this spot, revenge killing with base 111 speed, as well as being able to counter Clefable with Nasty Plot. Since this pokemon is new I am open to changing the moveset, (im not using prankster at all here) . Evs are standard, for special sweeping.
Zard < Squirtle (Blastoise) @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 200 SAtk / 252 HP / 56 SDef
Modest Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Water Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Aura Sphere
I never thought of a mega when I made this team, mainly because I think many MeVos are very UP, and this is my first 6th gen team. Now, I started out usiing Charizard Y, but I couldn't make use of the sun and hazards were a pain in the ass, so I switched to Blastoise, one of my favorite starters, who can rapid spin and dish out 135 BP dark pulses and water pulses, beating most spin blockers with ease. EVs were chosen at random, 252 in hp, mixed in SAtk and SDef.
CONCERNS
- I have no dragon type resist / immunity so dragons often give me problems
- Nothing wants to take thunder-wave
- Blastoise might not be the perfect MeVo for my team
- People don't always think reuniclus is water type
- Noivern isn't as helpful as it seems, even with choice specs it's weak. Dugtrio?
- Not sure how to add fancy forum stuff
- I don't have enough feedback
- Evs are 252/252/4 pretty much all the time, not sure what else to use
- Volcarona and Charzard Y
- Clefairy
OH AND BY THE WAY, Its my first RMT so there's that, ...
I know how many "First RMT plz rate guys!" topics there are.
