I don't own the official games as the only console I have is a Wii, but I really like Pokemon, so I'm using Showdown to do some competitive. There is a no Dynamax clause active. My team is:
=== [gen8ou] OU Team 1 ===
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed / Gyro Ball
- Knock Off
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
I wanted a Rocker, so I settled for this, as I can bait R-Oven and KO with Fishious Rend. I've been using Leech Seed as Alt Recovery and to wear down walls. I picked this to complete the Steel Dragon Fairy core.
Grimmsnarl @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Spirit Break
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
This is a PIMPNITE troll set, but I really liked it so, Priority healing and Priority attacks. Part of my core, along with Dracovish and Ferrothorn.
Dracovish @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Strong Jaw
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Fishious Rend
- Ice Fang / Outrage / Dragon Rush
- Psychic Fangs
Dragon for the Core. I'm running Choice Scarf to outspeed and Fishious Rend cuz Wynaut? Psychic Fangs and Crunch cuz Strong Jaws boost, I'm a little adverse to using Outrage cuz unlike Choice, you can't switch out and Dragon Rush is too inaccurate. I would have used Dragon Claw or Tail, had they been available.
Mimikyu @ Choice Band
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shadow Sneak
- Drain Punch
- Play Rough
- Trick
Thinking of replacing this with Marshadow. The Disguise is useful to tank a hit then start destroying Psychic types and Ghost Types. Trick is to cripple walls especially Toxapex.
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Nasty Plot
- Flash Cannon
- Dark Pulse
Started looking for special attackers for my last two slots and decided on Hydreigon and since I don't have a dragon STAB on Dracovish, I used the Smogon OU SS set for this one.
Rotom-Heat @ White Herb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Thunderbolt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch
This one was to finish the FWG core and provide some coverage. Overheat White Herb allows for a double Nuke and pairs nicely with Volt Switch allowing me to Nuke then swap if I outspeed. Will-O-Wisp is to cripple physical non-Guts and non-Facade attackers and T-Bolt for non-switch STAB.
Thank you for reading, any advice would be appreciated.
