ORAS OU RMT Mega Sableye Team

[DemonFang]

Hello everyone, I've recently started to enjoy using Mega Sableye and wanted to build a team around him and Gothitelle. This is my first RMT so any advice would be appreciated.

Team preview



Team Building Process​

Sableye Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SpAtk
Nature: Bold
-Will-o-Wisp
-Recover
-Shadow Ball
-Calm Mind
The idea here with this sableye is that if my opponent leads off with a physical attacker then I can burn them before mega evolving and then recover. If a hazard setter or statuser is out then I evolve right away to magic bounce them away and either burn them or set up calm minds. Shadow Ball is used to hit things that resist dark attacks. Since I am using Calm Mind, Bold is his nature so I can maximize my defense.


Gothitelle @ Choice Specs
Ability: Shadow Tag
Evs: 248 Hp/252 SpAtk/8 SpDef
Nature: Modest
-Psyshock
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Fire
-Energy Ball
Gothitelle is here to trap pokemon like Ferrothorn and Skarmory or anything she can switch in on and quickly kill them to make things easier for the rest of my team. I prefer using energy ball instead of trick to hit the occasional pokemon like Quagsire and Swampert who are immune to thunderbolt.


Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
Evs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 Atk
Nature: Impish
-Stealth Rock
-Slack Off
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
Hippowdon is my stealth rocker and physical wall. I originally wanted to use Landorus-T but I decided instead to use Hippowdon since he can take physical hits very well and get sand up so my Excadrill can run sand rush. Rock Slide to hit Talonflame and Slack Off to recover Hp.


Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 SpDef
Nature: Adamant
-Eartquake
-Rock Slide
-iron Head
-Swords Dance
With the sand up Excadrill becomes very fast and can outspeed many pokemon and is my primary answer to fairy types. Life Orb is used to make him hit even harder, and if he can use a swords dance then many pokemon will get 2-hit ko.


Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
Evs: 248 HP/252 SpDef/8 Def
Nature: Calm
-Scald
-knock Off
-Defog
-Toxic
Empoleon is my bulky defogger that way Excadrill can use swords dance. Originally I considered using Latias or Latios as my defogger but then my team was really weak to fairy types, so I figured Empoleon would be good to use as he can take many special attacks. Toxic and Knock Off are used on predicted switches to cripple several threats.


Kyurem-B @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Terravolt
EVs: 252 Atk/32 SpAtk/224 Spe
Nature: Naughty
-Terravolt
-Ice Beam
-Dragon Claw
-Outrage
Kyurem-B is my revenge killer on a choice scarf to outspeed and kill or severly damage many walls. With this set Azumarill and physically defensive ground types are easily dealt with. Dragon Claw is used early on so I don't have to lock myself into Outrage and pokemon like Chansey get 2-hit ko.

There is my team, I put alot of thought into this and any advice or feedback would be nice to help me iron out any flaws with this team.

i think you could switch scarf kyube to LO kyube and specs goth to scarf goth, since you have mega sableye, things like ferro and skarmory will not give you trouble

at first glance, your team is extremely Mega Lopunny weak, your team is full of steel types + sableye who is hit by scrappy and gothitelle being 2 hit KO'd, hippowdon is your only wall against it but with the combination of mega lopunny and any other water type like manaphy, your team is left defenseless but to sac off pokes hoping to kill one of them off. also your team carries no ground resist, if you run into any Excadrill's in battle, it will rek havoc on your team especially since your giving it sand if they dotn have it with hippowdon. my recommendation for you is that you put defensive mega venusaur or Slowbro (Mega If You Want) instead of empoleon or mega sableye, so your not so weak to excadrill, and Mega lopunny + water.

Hello DemonFang! Excellent team you have here! There are some things I'd like to help you with. I've noticed the lack of your ground resists so I think changing Excadrill's item from Life orb to Air Balloon, especially because your weakness to landorus-therian is huge. You are also Mega Lopunny weak, which is very bad especially because Mega Lopunny's usage is very high right now. So I recommend swapping a mon (preferably empoleon) for Slowbro help deal with mega lopunny. And since you wouldn't be able to defog anymore with empoleon, I recommend replacing Rock Slide for Rapid Spin for hazard removal. Other than that, seems like a nice team. Have fun!

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 204 Def / 56 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
- Psyshock

This set weakens your keldeo problem while also providing thunder wave support for your team that Kyurem-Black and Gothitelle get to take advantage of. Slack for recovery and scald for burns. But fuck scald, be a man and run surf The 56 special defense EVs guarantee slowbro to live a tbolt from raikou after rocks. It also helps with latios, especially because the lati twins love switching in on a slowbro.
