My name is adamant excadrill and this is my first RMT. Ive been making a lot of great teams lately and this is one I made last night and I made this core about 3 months ago. The team is based around Specs Volcanion whic is a very hard mon to switch into with amazing coverage options and shits all over balance. With a good defensive typing, another bulky water type, and another mega scizor switch in, I think Volcanion will fit in nicely as another specs water wallbreaker (besides keldeo lol) the core allows t tar to trap latis, d nite and trap fast electrics for volcanion whie volcanion checks grounds steels fairies and grass types for T tar. Latios is a ground immunity for volcanion resist electrics defogs rocks away for volcanion and in return volcanion breaks past bulky steel types and fairy types (especially clefable fuck that fat bitch) for latios to spam dracos.

So my first pokemon is obviously Volcanion which is the pokemon i wanted to build around, looks amazing, and is also a semi switch in for azumarill (a new semi switch ins for it lol azu the don and a decent manaphy switch in)

Volcanion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Steam Eruption
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave

next, i wanted to add scarf Tyranitar because it traps latis (which resist both stabs) checks fast electrics, and as I said before why volcanion has amazing offensive synergy with tyranitar being able to resist and check a lot of things tyranitar does not like.

Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Superpower

The third pokemon i wanted to add was life orb latios since both are weak to ground, and latios checks electrics, immune to ground, and defogs hazards for volcanion.

Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Roost
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock

The fourth pokemon i decided to add was a nice wallbreaker and pivot for volcanion which was able to handle and break down stall and bulky waters for volcanion so i decided on Life orb torn T, which is easily one of the top tier threats in all of ORAS while also being able to check serperior and make my team a bit faster.

Tornadus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 76 Atk / 160 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- U-turn
- Hurricane
- Taunt

The fifth pokemon i decided to add was defensive lando T as my excadrill mega lopunny and zard X switch in. Also gives volcanion the free U-Turn in to fuck something up

Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock

Lastly, my team as looking weak to bisharp, weavile, mega alakazam, and a decent mega metagross switch in and i needed a back up clefable check and a late game sweeper along with physical wallbreaker to break down more balance fat teams so i chose offensive mega scizor.

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Superpower

A small and brief summary is that I like the team a lot, its fun to use something new, and I really enjoy using Volcanion. Not much threatens this team besides offensive pressure by say Zard X + LO exca. Life orb torn T is a threat but i have checks to it which every team should have. I feel like the ORAS OU meta game is slowly becoming more fun and better after some changes in the meta and I feel like it has potential to be good just like this team. I hope you guys are enjoying Volcanion as much as I am and i hope you guys like the team as much as I do. If any changes you guys have then comment them please thanks for your time feel free to use my team :]

i changed mega scizor to bulky SD to counter weavile, bisharp, mega gyardos, and mega metagross. Also Volcanion now has hp grass since i was told its great to have it and replaced it with earth power. Scizor also has bug bite for bisharp and stuff. Would have U-Turn but it doesnt check any of the as good and i already have two pivots. Torn-T now has heat wave too as back up Skarmory check
 
Seems like a fresh team!

Consider running Modest>Timid on Volcanion. Speed tieing with Breloom and Bisharp is neat, but the power boost from modest is more useful in every single other scenario. This is more of an optional one, but an EV spread of 72 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spa / 180 Spe lets Volcanion Avoid the OHKO from banded Azumarril's superpower after rocks, which is rather useful since your team doesn't really like Azu.

Team looks good otherwise, good luck in future battles!
