Team Tryouts

Okay these is Team i threw together and try out

Lickilicky| Sitrus Berry| Own Tempo
Naughty | x / y / z <(dont know what this means.. im new)
Earthquake | Dragon Tail | Power Whip | Ice Beam

The reason i chose lickilicky is because he is bulky and has great Defense and Special Defense. but he lacks speed. I actually tested him out and he Withstood a Huge Power Belly Drum Azumarril using Aqua Jet. And I also think Power whip makes him a check for Azumarril. Earthquake for other pokemon

Azumarril | Splash Plate | Huge Power
Adamant | x / y / z
Aqua Tail | SuperPower | Aqua Jet | Belly Drum

I didnt choose this one but it was given to me battle ready. I chose it because i think Huge Power with BellyDrum. And it was given to me By a streamer on twitch

Infernape @Roseli Berry | Blaze
Relaxed | x / y / z
Close Combat| Dig | Poison Jab | Acrobatics

Okay i saw a lot of people using Infernape so i decided to run him on my team. I put a roseli berry because that can stop fairy types from possibly killing it. I put poison jab to Take out Fairy Types. Acrobatics for other Infernapes or Fighting Types

Seismetoad @ Sitrus Berry| Water Absorb
Lax | x / y / z
Poison Jab | Aqua Ring | Giga Impact | Earthquake.

I chose Seismetoad because he is a check to electric types due to his ground typing. And He is Physicaly Defensive, And Bulky. And If any pokemon uses a water type attack he regains health. And Aqua Ring also to restore Hp. and Sitrus Berry restores it even more

Tyrantrum @ Roseli Berry | Strong Jaw
Calm | x / y / z
Stealth Rock | Earthquake | Head Smash | Dragon Claw

I chose Tyrantrum because i think he makes a great stealth rock setter. And I tested him out and he makes a pretty good check for Klefki with Earthquake. I put Head smash on him to possibly OHKO a pokemon before He goes down.


Charizard @ Charizardite | Blaze
Calm | x / y / z
Slash | Dragon Claw | Solar Beam | Overheat

I chose charizard to be a total sweeper. Because when he Mega Evolves he gets Drought. And Solar beam only takes one turn and does a lot of damage. And Overheat gets Stab. and Sun boost. I run Slash and Dragon claw to take out regular pokemon
 
The XYZs are your EV's, which you can train your pokemon to be better in

Lickilicky:

1. I've always loved lickilicky, but I've never tried him in OU. However, he seems to me to be best at wish passing and shuffling. If you want to be offensive, you might want to swap something out for swords dance.
2. Why not leftovers?
3. Naughty nature isn't good, as it lowers your special defense, which is a key point on Lickilicky. I'd recommend Adamant or Brave.
4. EV train it in attack and HP, maybe your defense too if you want to reliably counter azumarill

Azumarill:
1. I prefer waterfall over aqua tail, but it's just my preference.
2. Use Play rough instead of superpower - unless your goal is to kill Ferrothorn
3. EV train in attack and HP: however I assume it already has been

Infernape:
1. A roseli berry is useless on infernape, as fairy attacks are neutral against it. I'd recommend life orb or choice band if you want to be only physically offensive.
2. Use flare blitz instead of dig: It's 10000000% times better.
3. Also a super effective acrobatics hits at 110 base power, but a normally effective close combat hits at 180 base power. So, as you can tell, acrobatics is relatively useless. I'd recommend thunder punch
4. If you go with thunder punch, i'd change the ability to iron fist. If not, blaze is cool.
5. Relaxed nature is weird, as it raises a stat infernape doesn't use, defense, and lowers and important one, its speed. You should use adamant or jolly.
6. EV train in attack and speed

Seismetoad:
1. Giga impact is not very good, as it has the same power as an earthquake, and eq doesn't make you recharge. I'd use waterfall instead.
2. Why not use leftovers instead of a sitrus berry?
3. If you plan on tanking a lot of things, aqua ring is fine. Typically I use stealth rocks instead, but I see you have those on tyrantrum
4. Lax nature isn't great, as raises your defense but lowers your special defense, which isn't good for a tank. Adamant, Brave, Impish, Relaxed, Careful, or Sassy would be better.
5. EV train in attack, hp, defense, and/or sp. def

Tyrantrum:
1. I think roseli berry is unreliable and you'd rather have a reliable item, like leftovers or a life orb.
2. Calm nature is bad, as it lowers your attack and raises your awful special defense. I'd prefer adamant or jolly.
3. EV train in attack, hp, speed, and/or defense


Charizard:
1. Never use slash, ever! If you want to take out something resisting grass and fire, use earthquake for heatran.
2. You're a special attacker; use dragon pulse instead of dragon claw.
3. I prefer fire blast to overheat, since you might want to stay in for a while.
4. Calm nature is bad, as it lowers your attack and raises your awful special defense, which is just awkward for a mixed attacker. I'd prefer Hasty or Naive.
5. EV train in special attack and speed, maybe a little in attack.

Overall: You only have one pokemon with special moves. If you want to get past physical walls, i'd suggest incorporating more special attack(ers). Also, if you don't want to breed, your natures are pretty set in stone, so you may have to deal w/ your suboptimal natures. But you still can EV train. Anyways, it's a good start.
