Friend Team:
I honor of my friends I made a team for them where each pokemon is named after one of them. *So anyway, the team was fine for a while until I started to have some problems because of my massive weakness to fire and also other threats. So I need you guys to change my team around so it is more synergenic and so I can have the best out of this team.*
Metagross (Bluetank)@ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Bullet Punch
Metagross makes a great bulky lead that can set up stealth rocks and still dish out great power. Also I has access to priority to take out focus sashers and has EQ for steels. It also has clear body as an ability so intimidate and other stat changes do not affect him. I gave him an EV set to give him a lot of bulk with its HP and max attack so it can fire off STAB meteor mashes and hope for and attack raise giving it an even more power to give out.
For the moves I gave him stealth rock to it can get its entry hazards up so things like salamence and multiscale dragonite take 25% and other things take more damage from the spikes I set up. Meteor Mash is for a main STAB that also for an attack raise. Earthquake is for steels like magnezone who want to trap me an again bullet punch is for revenge killing and pokemon with focus sash.
Thundurus (MC Earle) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
Thundurus is a pure broken son offa bitch who is known for sweeping entire teams after one nasty plot because of its amazing speed outspeeding latios without a scarf and ability to get a nasty plot with priority. Also it has access to the infamous bolt beam that is said to not be resisted by and pokemon in the game so far. And it has access to focus blast who can potentially kill ferrothorn who walls thundurus because hidden power ice is not powerful to kill it at +2 or +4 and thunderbolt is resisted.
So nasty plot is the main crux of this set and it has priority because it gives thundurus +2 special attack which is very deadly in most of every OU players opinion. And thunderbolt and hidden power ice is to give that amazing bolt beam coverage while focus blast is for ferrothorn who can take thunderbolt decently and hidden power ice's very nicely. I also gave it leftovers since because life orb and rocks plus other damage hurts a lot.
Ferrothorn (Brikroad) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Def / 196 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Protect
Finally ferrothorn is used as a very bulky wall so it can wall things set up a leech seed or entry hazards. Also ferrothorn can take a lot of hits so gyro ball is used as a way to take out faster threats like gengar who can't OHKO with the focus blast. Also it can be a very stall-like pokemon which helps with threats to the rest of my team but can't touch ferrothorn.
The EV's are to give it about even bulk on both sides so it becomes a great mixed wall. Spikes is for hazards while leech seed is for recovery and also gyro ball is for an attack. Protect is to stall pokemon out of health with leech seed so i can force switches ad leech seed the next one that comes in and hopefully heal other members of my team.
Jellicent (Benji) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Scald
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Recover
In this team I used the ferro and jelli defensive core and since the resist every type besides ground they make a great core since jellicent spreads statuses while ferrothorn spreads entry hazards and they make a great duo. and jellicent has a very good typing and and it also has great special defense.*
So I gave Jellicent the right amount of EV's to have the right amount of bulk and it is able to out-speed conkeldurr by one point i think. Scald is to burn physical sweepers like arcanine who poses a very big threat to my team as it can easily rip through my team because of my major fire weakness. toxic is for more bulkier things like rotom-W and other jellicent along with vaporeon. Taunt is to stop set up sweepers and baton pass teams and other. and recover is for a reliable recover so i can stave off damage.
Hydreigon (Widget) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Surf
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
This thing does most of the work of my team since its amazing special attack and and good HP let's it abuse a life orb set so it can hit hard and be able to switch moves at ease. Also since it gets access to Draco meteor, fire blast and surf it can really cover a lot of top tier OU pokémon.
So the EV's are to give it a lot of power with a modest nature so it can have a lot of power and speed tie with unscarfed nidoking. Draco meteor is to take larger more bulkier threats that will be killed by hydreigon's awesome STAB'd power. Surf it to kill heatran and other fire types . Fire Blast is to take out skarmory, ferrothorn, and forretress. Dark pulse was just a filler but has proven to useful as a STAB attack.
Scizor (Maloman) @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Roost
As my final pokémon I have a bulky SD scizor as it can pull a late game sweep after it gets one swords dance. Because it gets over 600 attack and scizor has enough bulk to kill before it gets killed.*
So I gave scizor a very specially defensive EV spread which let's it take special hits very nicely. Swords dance again is to boos the attack to very high levels. Bullet punch I'd to utilize scizor's unique ability technician which makes lower base power moves more powerful which helps a lot since it gives scizor a powerful priority attack. Bug bite is a move that also gets the technician boost and again scizor get STAB on it too. And finally roost is a way to recover health in tight situations so it can continue it's sweep.
