~ Introduction ~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there and welcome to my RMT :D After testing out my last team I finally came to the conclusion that it just didn't work out for me, so after a lot of willowing in self pity a friend of mine helped me make a new team! This team uses prediction as a very strong weapon. It has 2 Choice users, a band and a scarf. It contains 3 OU's, 1 UU and an NU.
Thanks for reading this and enjoy my RMT! :3!
Changes are in italics.

CutYouUp (Gliscor) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Taunt
- Roost
- Stealth Rock
---
The team leads off with Gliscor, I like Gliscor so much because its a very good lead. It taunts the opposition whenever it predicts a set up move, and continues to lay up rocks of its own. Gliscor is also a valuable addition because its an extremely good Lucario counter (provided its not carrying Ice Punch) But even then Gliscor outspeeds and KO's it with STAB Earthquake. The instant recovery provided by Roost is of great use to a Pokémon with Gliscor's bulk and relatively high Speed, and helps keep it alive for the entire duration of the battle. Gliscor has just the right base stats, movepool, and typing for what it needs to do: counter many physical attackers and support the team at the same time. Its STAB Earthquake 2HKOes Tyranitar and OHKOes Lucario, and also does a decent amount to most fragile switch-ins.
Ice moves go to: Scizor, Magnezone
Water moves go to: Latias, Magnezone
IGotLade (Gallade) (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 HP
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
---
I was a bit sceptical wether or not Gallade was a welcome addition to this team, and needless to say I was suprised. Don't bother saying things like Gallade is outclassed by Lucario because if you do I will totally disregard your comment because you obviously have never used this set before. Lucario would've destroyed my team if I decided to use that instead of Gallade. Because, Lucario is weak to 3 really common types of moves, Fire, Ground and Fighting. If I had Lucario 3 of my Pokemon would be weak to fire, 3 would be weak to ground and 3 would be weak to fighting. Whenever Gallade comes in on something that can't do anything to it like an Ice Beaming Blissey, Cresselia or even Bronzong it uses Swords Dance and proceeds to sweep with boosted attack.
Moveset was changed to the standard SD set because setting up subsitute was proving too hard to achieve. The last 4 evs were put into HP instead of SP def and nature was changed to Adamant because speed isn't needed as much anymore since a priority move has been added to this set. Lum berry replaced Salac Berry because Burn/Parylisis can be extremely annoying towards this set.
Flying moves go to: Magnezone
Ghost moves go to: Magnezone, Porygon2, Scizor
Magnepwn (Magnezone) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Explosion
---
Lol, its funny to see how common Scizor is getting in the OU metagame, so Magnezone is nearly necessary to this team. First of all, this puts all Steel types into the "Checkmate" position, for example; A Jirachi goes for trick but I bring in this beastly machine, poor Jirachi can only use Trick whilst I destroy it with Hidden Power Fire. Magnezone works well with Gallade, keeping most of his priority abusing counters in check. Such as Mamoswine and Scizor, Magnezone OHKO's Mamoswine with Flash Cannon and OHKO's Scizor with HP Fire. Magnezone can also kill Lucario provided it has taken damage from Life Orb and Rocks previous.
This thing just eats Scizor for breakfast, especially the SD variants that try to set up and get owned. Since Scizor is the most OU pokemon in the whole game, Magnezone is a welcome member to this time.
Fire moves go to: Latias, Gliscor
Ground moves go to: Latias, Gliscor
Fighting moves go to: Latias, Gliscor, Gallade
Meta-Bug (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- U-turn
- Pursuit
---
Yes I know, you're probably thinking to yourself how ironic it is to have a Scizor Killer like Magnezone right above this description, boasting how it kills other Scizor. And then to have the generic average-joe CBZor directly underneath it. As spammy as Scizor is, theres no denying how much of a force it is in the OU metagame. U-Turn is useful for scouting the opponents team and its unbelievable how many teams actually have a weakness to it, Bullet Punch is pretty explanitory (I mean its a Scizor, come on) Pursuit is extremely useful at killing off things like Rotom formes (provided its not rotom-h) and Latias. Its hard to make a team without Scizor, its just a very handy pokemon :)
Fire moves go to: Latias, Gliscor
(Ohaithar) Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
---
Ok, so Porygon2 replaced Tyranitar. I was sad to get rid of Tyranitar and lose its epic nickname D: But after testing out Porygon2 I realised that this was a very good Pokémon (It also aids in helping my team with a little bit of originality) Porygon2 can easily prevent Gyarados and Salamence from accessing a sweep on my team. This is very useful because most of the time Scarf Latias goes down easily if I bring it in early on something like Mence or Heatran. It will get locked into a move and it'll become easy pursuit bait for the likes of Scizor or Tyranitar. Without Latias, my team becomes very vulnerable to set-up sweepers like Gyarados, who can set up easily on your three choicers, namely Magnezone and Scizor. Gallade can't touch it, and Tyranitar, without any Speed EVs, can't either. It would be pretty much GG and spelling the end for my chances of victory. I went with T-Bolt over Discharge because I find myself never using Toxic when I use Porygon2, so I went with the stronder option of Electric attacking and stuck T-Wave in the last slot
Fighting moves go to: Latias, Gliscor, Gallade
Sanitarium (Latias) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
---
Ok, since Tyranitar was replaced with Porygon2 I finally arrived at the conclusion that Scarf on Latias wasn't needed anymore. So I changed the set to the LO + Three Attacks set. It takes the destructive power of the Choice Specs set and combines it with the ability to freely change attacks; although at the cost of some power and ten percent of Latias' health after each attack. Draco Meteor is Latias' strongest attack, capable of dealing 75.00% - 88.54% to max HP Zapdos, an OHKO when factoring in Stealth Rock damage. Draco Meteor even does 38.89% - 45.68% to min HP Heatran. With or without scarf however I still find myself switcing into Infernape, which is good because even without the scarf I outspeed and do a lot of damage with Surf, and if the opponent predicts its ok. I have a lot more freedome now because of LO instead of CS, so I can go straight for a Draco Meteor :D
I will admit that I am a fan of using Choice, so using something other than scarf on Latias was a big step for me o_O
Dragon moves go to: Magnezone, Scizor
Ice moves go to: Magnezone, Scizor
Bug moves go to: Magnezone, Scizor, Gliscor
Dark moves go to: Magnezone, Scizor
Ghost moves go to: Magnezone, Porygon2, Scizor
