Hello guys, Unforgiven Diego here. Today i want to ask you to rate my new team, a team that started with my idea of having one of the coolest (In my opinion) looking Megas of them all: Mega Pidgeot.
Now, i think it's about time to explain how i started to create this team!
Mega Pidgeot:
So, Mega Pidgeot. What can i say about this, he's a beast! With access to No Guard in his Mega forme, the 100 percent accurate Hurricane and Heat Wave tear through unprepared (and sometimes, prepared) enemies, and usually it doesn't get any bad things back, because of his above-average speed! This is the Pokémon I started my new team with, and it has given me many victories as of now, some of them with really funny ragequits!
Landorus-Therian:
+
I needed something that could tank electric types for my Pidgeot, and I thought I could make some room for this bad boy right here. With a Defensive nature and spreads, this guy can tank lots of things for the rest of my team, while being immune to electric types. Although they share an Ice-Type weakness, Yache Berry makes Landorus-T take it like a champ, as long as it is a physical Ice-Type attack, a special wall would still hurt a little bit more lol. It resists a Rock-Type attack as well, mostly because of its high defenses. This is a great member of the team.
Keldeo-Resolute:
+
+
I needed a scarfed revenge killer, that could also take some hits just because of its typing, so i added Keldeo to the team. With the ability of taking a Water-Type attack and resist it, my Scarfed Keldeo catches people off guard a lot, as they don't expect this little pony here to outspeed their Choice Specs Raikou and some Jolteons that sometimes appear. I used to have Slowbro in his position, but i like Hyper Offense, so I decided to switch it out for a REAL killer. So far so good, I must admit!
Raikou:
+
+
+
Raikou, the scout of my team. I wanted to use him with Volt Absorb, but it hasn't been released yet, any of you guys know when will it be released? The idea was to protect Keldeo from Electric-Type moves without getting hit by them! I find myself leading with him sometimes, times when I can't decide if I should send my set up Pokémon first, just so i can see what i'm facing. It functions really well in my team as a Late Game Killer, because his high speed and special attack (It is a specs Raikou) destroy things that are already damaged, OHKO'ing full HP enemies too (I've destroyed so many Garchomps I can't remember the number, HP-Ice, baby!). This Pokémon has my only Ghost-Type move, in the shape of Shadow Ball, which I use to kill the Eon Pair. And before you ask, yes. I did get a Scarfed Keldeo after an enemy Scarfed Keldeo outsped my Raikou and defeated me. The only defeat i got that day....
Weavile:
+
+
+
+
Weavile is, in fact, one of my favorite Pokémon of all time. So, as soon as i saw a chance of adding him here, i got extra happy! This is my Physical Sweeper, and it has given me tons of victories, too! It can take one Ice-Type move on switch, before it starts, well, mercilessly killing stuff with a brutal speed! What's not to love? Well, I know, he's pretty squishy, so I have to be very careful with this little fellow! It also works as a Revenge killer, most of the time. Now I realized I needed something that was able to tank Fairies, as they kinda destroy two of my sweepers.
Excadrill:
+
+
+
+
+
I was in need of a Special Wall that nullified Fairies, so I went on the hunt to find someone that was really worthy of being in this team. I looked in a Special Defense chart, only to find that Registeel was high up there. It seemed perfect, but it lacked three of the things my boy Excadrill brings to the table: High Damage, Hazard Setting (Without failing), and it is a Rapid Spinner!
I know, Registeel can tank more Fairy-Type damage than Excadrill, but as I said earlier, I love to play aggressively. Bad thing was, Registeel had Toxic, which made it easy to take down stallers, after some turns though lol. When I switched it out for Excadrill, the only option i had was to change my Mega Pidgeot build to a Stallbreaker one, which I didn't want to really, because the normal moveset includes Heat Wave, the only Fire-Type move in my team. So, I decided i wanted to try a Landorus-T build with Toxic, and it has worked really, really well for me, as of now. These are the movesets for the squad!
Ace @Pidgeotite
Ability: Big Pecks
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def/ 252 Spe
-Hurricane
-Heat Wave
-U-turn
-Roost
Standard Mega Pidgeot moveset, Hurricane because of STAB, Heat Wave for coverage, U-turn for scouting, to gain momentum, and finally Roost, for healing purposes.
Toph yache Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Impish Nature
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
-Toxic
-Earthquake
-U-turn
-Stone Edge
Yeah, my physical wall. It has Toxic to help defeating stallers, Earthquake because of STAB, Stone Edge for coverage, and U-turn for scouting, so I can get him out of bad match-ups, of problems, in general.
Khan Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
-Scald
-Hydro Pump
-Secret Sword
-Icy Wind/Focus Blast
Speed-boosting nature, max. Speed EVs, and a Choice Scarf. It gets to a whopping 517 Speed, IIRC. Icy Wind or Focus Blast, I really don't know. Icy Wind is used as a last resort, to slow enemies so my team is able to outspeed them in all situations, even though it hasn't been used at all, i think, maybe once lol. Focus Blast is to take out enemies with high Defense and a lower Special Defense, because Secret Sword does damage based on the first one mentioned. The rest of the moveset is STAB, Scald for a chance to burn and take out foes, without risking a miss. Hydro Pump is for taking out an enemy with medium to high HP. Secret Sword is STAB, to take out Special walls that disturb Keldeo.
Athos Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
-Volt Switch
-Hidden Power Ice
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
Athos here (name after my dog that passed away:'c) is the team's most important scouter, as it does a lot of damage with it, and it has a really nice speed stat! Hidden Power Ice is for coverage, Thunderbolt is STAB, and Shadow Ball, as I explained before, to take out Lati@s and some Ghost-Types! (OHKO's Gengar, HP Ice OHKO'S Garchomp, don't know if bulky one, though, etc.)
Stalker Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
-Knock Off
-Icicle Crash
-Poison Jab
-Ice Shard
Weavile here is max. Speed, as I wanted it to be a Revenge Killer, and it has Poison Jab to even take out Fairies, if they are not bulky enough. Knock Off is STAB and utility, Icicle Crash is STAB and a chance to flinch the enemy, and Ice Shard is STAB plus priority. Really nice!
Víscera Air Balloon
Ability: Mold Breaker
Careful Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock
So, Víscera is the one using Stealth Rock in my team, and the one that gets rid of entry hazards for it, too! It is not the typical Sand Force Sweeper, as it has Mold Breaker to put entry hazards even when versing opponents with Magic Bounce, etc. Iron Head is STAB and a Fairy-Type killer as well, and Earthquake is another STAB move. This Pokémon is usually my lead, and it has worked pretty well for me!
So yeah guys, this is my team! Please rate it, and tell me what to improve, so I can reach high rankings, thanks for reading this OU Mega Pidgeot RMT!
Again, thanks for reading, hope it was as entertaining to do so as it was to make this post!
