~Hello there!~
This is my newest team i made today. I've played on the standard OU ladder and it does quite well. My teams usually sucks but i like this 1. I haven't found any threats so far but there are some pokes that are hard to beat. I'll be listing a Threat List aswell. The only threat to this team is luck..
Anyway, i think the name already says it. This team is a very dangerous one in my opinion. If i get the opportunity to set up my Sub on Ttar or to DD with Kingdra, it can get very dangerous. What i like about this team is the ideas. I only have 1 cheap pokemon, and thats Scizor. So far, i've won more battles than i lost, so, without further ado, i present to you: Team Opportunity and Kill.
At a glance:
The team:
Mamoswine (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Endeavor
- Earthquake
---
Mamoswine is a pretty good lead. Stealth Rock on the first turn obviously, as i pretty much need them to nail Gyarados and Salamence. Mamoswine also kills some standard leads. Most Metagross are OHKO'd by Earthquake if it doesn't wear Shuca Berry. Tyranitars also falls to Earthquake. Jirachi can be a pain lead for Mamoswine though, as Iron Head does a lot of damage and it also has the flinch ratio, 60%. Azelf without Fire Blast is pretty much nailed aswell. I mostly save Mamoswine for later in the game. Salamence can threaten my team a lot, so i need Ice Shard to kill it off. Endeavor is an awesome move on Mamoswine and it's sometimes a suprise for the opponent. Mamoswine is just a very good pokemon :) I pretty much need Focus Sash in order to use Endeavor effectively. Endeavor pwns though =D
Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 Atk/232 Spd/24 SAtk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Hydro Pump
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
---
Kingdra is also a very awesome pokemon. You might be thinking; Why this over Salamence or Gyarados? It's because of Stealth Rock. Kingdra wears Life Orb, and SS is in play when Tyranitar comes out. If Salamence or Gyarados is in this spot, i also have to be wary of Stealth Rock. Residual Damage kills me off to much when Gyarados or Salamence is in play. Kingdra also takes Water Moves very good, so it's a good choice. Scizor also has a hard time against Kingdra because Bullet Punch doesn't do to much. Kingdra is a very good Late Game sweeper. Hydro Pump is there to kill Psychical walls off like Skarmory. Waterfall for STAB, and Outrage for Kingdra's only physical Dragon move. Let Kingdra set up and your doomed, especially late game.
Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
---
Scizor is a very awesome pokemon. Probably the most used pokemon in OU aswell, but also, 1 of the strongest. Bullet Punch and Technician is just to good. It kills a lot of pokemons. This is a standard Choice Band Scizor set. U-Turn in an offensive based team is really good. Scouting is always top priority for me. Pursuit is a very good move, if opponent's try to flee for Scizor, they're gonna die because of this. Latias and Gengar dies to this aswell (Without HP fire). Superpower OHKO's Blissey, OHKO's Tyranitar, and a lot of other pokemon. Generally Steel types. Bullet Punch almost kills everything thats out there, and that's not a Steel move resister. If i have to describe Scizor in 1 word: POWNAGE. He also looks cool.
Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/52 Atk/28 Spd/176 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Focus Punch
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
---
This is usually what people don't expect; Tyraniboah. This version of TTar isn't being used to much anymore, and that's sad, because it can threaten a whole team, especially Stall teams. Set up on something that runs from Ttar, then you have 3 options. Focus Punch kills Blissey off, and Blissey can't break the sub with Seismic Toss. Dark Pulse kills a lot of pokemons. Rotom formes are generally screwed by this. Even if they WoW me, Dark Pulse mostly OHKO's them. WoW doesn't hurt me to much because i have Leftovers and my only Physical move is Focus Punch. Scizor also takes more than 50% of damage of Focus Punch. Celebi has to watch out for Dark Pulse, and it can't OHKO me with Grass Knot. Dragons can eat an Ice Beam, and Latias can eat a Dark Pulse. Everyone expects a Choice Band TTar or a DDTar, but this 1 is hardly used anymore, and i use that as an advantage.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP/228 Def/32 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Roar
- Discharge
---
Defensive Zapdos. I changed this instead of the Offensive dos because Lucario pwns me without a bulky spread. I usually save Zapdos for late game for this reason. This also walls Scizor, which can be a threat to my team. First of all, i used Discharge over Thunderbolt. I don't need the power of Thunderbolt, i find Paralyze a lot more worthy, so thats why i chose for Discharge. Roar is actually pretty good. A lot of pokemon tries to set up on Zapdos, but instead, i Roar them. For example, Salamence and Latias. Heat Wave is there to kill of Lucario and Scizor, aswell as some other Steel Types and Grass types. Luckily, this is my only SR weak pokemon.
Vaporeon (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 Def/68 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
---
Specs Vaporeon. I know you're thinking: "WTF, WHY??!?". Well because i have to fit the Offensive theme. And i have to wall Gyarados somehow. Specsvapo is very powerfull. It's so underestimated, it's not even funny anymore. I've killed a lot of pokemon with this. HP Electric does a lot with Specs, killing almost every Water Pokemon in 1 shock. Suicune can't wall this forever, as HP Electric does to much to him. It can Calm Mind up a bit, but if it doesn't carry HP Electric, i just need 1 crit to finish it off. Signal Beam is here to kill Celebi in 1 shot. Ludicolo also walls me without Signal Beam. Ludicolo is very common in Rain Dance teams, so thats why Signal Beam. Besides, there's no other option in that spot. This also hurts Psychic and Dark types. Ice Beam is to kill most Dragons in 1 shot, Surf itself does a lot of damage already.
