at least, I was ranked 18th before my volatility dropped to like .53 or something in 2 hours
after that, it became hard to go up at all, no matter how many times i crushed oristeros and some other people higher up
I also lose points after the first battle of a login session, even if I win
more importantly, I have lots of schoolwork and college planning to think about now and Pokemon just cant take up any more time
Pokemon, after 1 year of playing shoddybattle, has become insipid and repetitive
I started off gunning it off on the uber ladder, with countless battles against Team Uber Boobs before I ended his career (LOL)
I reached 1st, took a break and when i came back, Xtreemmasheen3k2 was at the top cus of his gay(and unoriginal) Dual Screen Baton Pass Mew team
So i made a team and went to the top again to dethrone him, as some of you may remember under Ramon Sessions
then wobbuffet came over and I was condemning it to no end and then Gen Empoleon made a statement that probably determined my path: I hate wobbuffet because it ruins the only tier of play that I was good at. What a bunch of baloney. What can you say now Gen Empoleon?
So i never revisited the Uber tier again and concentrated my efforts into make an OU team and playing with it. Because thats all it takes, a good team and experience with the team
After much experimentation and edits, I came up with this that won about 80 percent of my battles, but even then, I was about 100 points short of overtaking the (in my view) legit number 1 guy at the time, dismissing Halo, Vexation and some other guy I cant remember because I thought it was a glitch in the ranking system or something
anyways heres the team, if I receive enough rates to make it into a better team, I might come back to play with it again. I just might.
oh and BTW, my alt during my laddering sessions with this team was "everywhere I go"
some of you might remember playing against me in 3 battle windows at once because Im good like that
I peaked at 1596 before a 5 day layoff dropped me to 1556 and by then it was impossible to climb back up without devoting an unrealistic portion of my day to it.
anyways, enough delays
@ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 8 HP/240 Atk/8 Def/252 Speed
Nature: Naive (+Spd, -Spdef)
-Flamethrower
-Taunt
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
I always hated using Azelf as a lead because i beleived it to be a waste of resplendent offensive powers, as its 125 Atk/SpA can attest to
But then i realized that it was the perfect lead to stop almost all other leads
Taunt to stop slower things like Rain Dance or Screeens, and esp for ngs like Rain Dance or Screeens, and esp for smeargle who is always a dick
Stealth Rock, yea
Flamethrower- a reliable way to burn Metagross's Occa Berry or at least do some significant damage to put it in the range for a Magnezone thunderbolt
Explosion- Dents everything except Steel Types: Metagross, Tyranitar take heavy damage. even Skarmory loses like 60% of its health
with this moveset, I almost always lose to Aerodactyl Leads.
Against Infernape leads, I switch to TTar to take the fake out and break tis sash then switch back in Azelf to scare it off and take the Close Combat
against most other leads, its usually routine
the EVs i stole from someone who said that with 8 hp and 8 def, A metagross w/o bullet punch will never 2hko this Azelf because Meteor Mash does 99% max.
240 Atk to powerup explosion
@ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 16 Atk/252 Spd/240 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Brick Break
- Roost
I always loved this thing. it is faster than everything it needs to be faster than, Intimidate always helps, and Draco Meteor is no joke
I bring this thing out if I want something dead, like a Rotom who is annoying me, it will just eat a Meteor and bite the dust
EVs i stole from panamaxis's old RMT, naive max speed to tie, 240 spa to power up meteor, and 16atk to 2hko bliss and snorlax i guess
I use roost with this particular salamence because it lets me compensate for Life Orb/Sand Storm/SR Damage, and it makes sure Stall teams cant just switch around it until its dead.
Meteor to fuck things
Fire blast to fuck things meteor cant
Brick Break for special defense heavy fools, like TTar, Snorlax, and blissey(I usually have to Predict an incoming bliss so i can 2hko it, otherwise ill jsut get TWaved

@ Expert Belt
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 56 Atk/252 Spd/200 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Fire Punch
- Grass Knot
- Iron Head
- Hidden Power [Ground]
I love this thing so much. I forgot who suggested Mix Jirachi to me, I think it was Loki when I asked him, how do you mug rotoms
and he said , use something that it usually comes out on and laugh at it with a Jirachi Shadow ball or something
Jirachi Shadow ball seemed absurd, so I use this jirachi for a different purpose nowadays, but it still does not disappoint.
Max Speed to beat 176 Speed SubCM jirachi so i can Fire Punch for fun, as well as tie with other max speed 100s
the EVs are kinda weird, i think i added those SPA cus i wanted Heatran dead immediately( I hate torment Tran)
Iron Head and Fire Punch are my physical tools to beast Ttar and Scizor, and Iron Head Flinches vs things like Snorlax never hurt
Grass Knot to punish Hippos and Swampert that think it can come in and do something
HP Ground is what makes this set so great, no longer do i lose to Magnezones that can 2hko me with tbolt before I 3hko with fire punch, a swift hp ground is all it takes
and of course, for Heatran
w/o ice punch or tbolt im a duck vs mence and gyarados but thats what I have Latias for.
Jirachi also completes the Salamence + Steel type combo, and it is moderately fast.
It cant sweep, but it gets the job done.
One complaint i have vs Jirachi is that Iron Head doesnt do nearly enough to Blissey, so i would have to get a few lucky Iron Head Flinches in to finish it off

(M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk/244 Spd/12 SDef
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- Flamethrower
Another one of my favorites, I feel terrible giving it away
But it basically forces Scizor into an ultimatum: Bullet Punch and get trapped by Zone, or die to flamethrower
Props to SOT for suggesting this
Crunch to outrun defensive Rotoms and fuck them up
Pursuit to catch Latias and Scarf Ghosts
Superpower for Bliss, Empoleon, Snorlax, Ttar
Flamethrower for Forry who think they can set up, a reliable 2hko on Skarm, and of course Scizor
the SPeed EVs let me outrun max adamant Metagross(not that theres a point in doing so), max adamant Breloom( a big advantage), and rotoms/scizors
I started off using Fire Blast but Tyranitar simply cannot afford to miss vs Scizor

@ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Props to infinity
he didnt introduce this set but he made me realize how important it is to have a magnezone on ur team to deal with Scizors
Max speed on such a slow thing seems weird but it lets me get a sub on Breloom before I get spored. It also makes sure I dont get outsped by Metagross and die to a swift EQ
Magnezone is so good, i switch this in on probable Scizor bullet punches, magnezones stuck on Tbolt, Metagross leads after I flamethrowered it with Azelf, etc.
oh and of course, Scarf Jirachi
Salazone combo too
Tbolt, yea
TWave to slow down faster things
Sub- Best move in the game, it prevents crits and Scarf Jirachi iron head flinches
HP Ice for Hippo, Gliscor, Dnite and flygon

(F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
I love this thing so much, its unquestionably the best scarfer out there
110 base speed with a scarf outruns +1 naive Mence, +2 Adamant Gyarados(and by extension Dragonite)
AgiliGross so i can trick a scarf onto it
at least tying with Gengar, it goes on
a choice tricker is so important nowadays to stop the likes of CM Resttalkers and things that like to set up
Latias is my safety net in case Tyranitar or Jirachi lets something setup(because lets be honest here, nothing is setting up on Mence, Zelf or Zone anytime soon)
Latias cant revenge Tyranitar well but Tyranitar also cant set up on anything, even Azelf's Explosion puts jolly ddtar in the range for a surf
speaking of which
Meteor just to demolish things
Surf for Heatran, Infernape, steel types(altho ill have switch out agaisnt bulky fools)
Tbolt for gyara and vaporeon
Trick to laugh at things
again, Latias really holds the act together, sorry if my description wasnt so deep, but really, i dont need to go much deeper than that
Ill add more to this RMT if i have the time, like a threat list or something
after that, it became hard to go up at all, no matter how many times i crushed oristeros and some other people higher up
I also lose points after the first battle of a login session, even if I win
