RMT (OU)

Intro:

This team has done really well on the standard ladder, but I feel it can be improved somehow. So that's why I made this RMT.

Team at a glance:

Heatran @ Shuca Berry
~Naive
~Flash Fire
Ev's: 4 Hp/252 Sp.Atk/252 Spd
-Fire Blast
-Earth Power
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion

Heatran, my lead. I suppose I chose him because he counters so many popular leads, including Azelf, Metagross, Bronzong, Jirachi, and Obamasnow. Unlike a lot of players, I like to keep Heatran until I know my opponents team, rather than set up rocks and explode. Reason is that big threats like Scizor have a field day with this guy gone, and with Wish support I can repeatedly take its abuse all day long.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
~Bold
~Water Absorb
Ev's: 188 Hp/252 Def/68 Spd
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Wish
-Protect

Vaporeon provides me with Wish support to keep my teams health in check. I decided to run Ice Beam over HP Electric because I've got Cress to handle Gyara and Salamence is more threatening.

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
~Adamant
~Levitate
EV's: 80 Hp/252 Atk/176 Spd
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-U-turn

My revenge killer, Flygon. His great typing allow him to come in on any of his resistances and start killing stuff. U-Turn is an awesome move that allows him to scout my opponents switches and I can U-Turn between Scizor and Flygon and play mind games with my opponent. Outrage is really only used when it's late game or If I'm desperate and need to kill something like a DD Kingdra.

Infernape @ Life Orb
~Hasty
~Blaze
EV's: 64 Atk/248 Sp.Atk/196 Spd
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower
-Close Combat
-Grass Knot

My wall breaker and late game sweeper. After a few obstacles are out of the way, this guy can rip through teams with ease. When I was building this team, this guy was actually the last pokemon I put in. Lately I've noticed I lack a status absorber, so I was thinking of replacing this guy with a RestTalk Machamp. Any thoughts?

Scizor @ Choice Band
~Adamant
~Technician
EV's: 4 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Superpower
-Pursuit

Yep, the one pokemon that seems to be on almost every team nowadays, happens to be on mine as well. (Though I can say that I used Scizor as a Scarfer even when it ddn't have Bullet punch) Bullet Punch revenge kills a lot of things, including DDMence, Tyranitar, and Gengar. U-Turn scouts switches and hurts like hell coming off of a 591 Atk stat. Pursuit is to mainly kill of Latias, which is is my Infernapes main counter.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
~Bold
~Levitate
EV's: 252 Hp/248 Def/8 Spd
-Ice Beam
-Charge Beam
-Thunder Wave
-Moonlight

Cress is my main answer to things like Salamence, Infernape and Gyarados. Thunder Wave cripples any counter comming into Cress, such as TTar and Scizor. A solid physical wall.


So yeah, that's the team! Comment, rate, fix, and stuff. And also, though this is my first post here, I am by no means new to competitive battling, so please don't try to treat me like some kind of noob.

Thanks =D
 

Team seems fairly solid, no glaring major weaknesses.

Not a huge fan of your Cresselia. Charge Beam has low enough power that it's not good for much besides hitting Gyarados, and that leaves you with no great option against Infernape other than paralyzing him. Also, Thunder Wave doesn't "Cripple" CB Tyranitar or Scizor, per say, as they tend to rely on bulk, priority, and Pursuit over speed. Moonlight is also questionable given the abundance of Sand in the metagame. Consider RestTalk over Wave and Moonlight.

If you don't plan to blow Heatran up right away, consider dropping Explosion for Will-O-Wisp. This lets you cripple many leads, and can also put a hurt on a lot of LeadTran's big switchins, like Gyarados and Salamence.
