What the Hell is Going On?!? My OU Team!!!
The team I have set up below took me a while to think of. I had a few OU battles before with some of these pokemon and it wasn't all right before but this new team seems to do some good damage. I chose it for the sole purpose that I could attack and defend. For every weakness a member of my team has, another member is either strong against it or the move does 0, making it very hard to break down if I predict well. The team below I'll explain so please post comments of what I could do better.
My Lead
Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Nature: Relaxed
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Earthquake
This lead is generally my key to success. If I do well with swampert, the rest of my team goes well. I use him as my lead for many reasons. The main one is his excellence typing giving him a great move set as well as good resistances. How I use him is generally not stealth rock first but use a move first to cripple the other team because most other leads are to one of the 3 moves I have used. If they are not weak to any I use stealth rock and sub out. Generally this pokemon can come back in multiple times during the game and wall moves as well as dish out a bit of damage.
My Attacker
Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 228 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
I chose Metagross as my attacker for 4 reasons. 1. Great move pool and is super effective against a lot of big threats, 2. His huge attack, 3. His Great Defence and 4. His many Resistance which makes it very easy for me to come in and use him. With no set up required he dishes out a lot of damage and saves me through tight matches.
My Special Attacker
Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Naive
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Explosion
I chose Heatran for the exact same reasons as I chose Metagross for. I feel like I need this special attacker for many defensive walls. Adding explosion to the mix I also guarantee myself at least 1 kill. Flash Fire is also a saviour for Scizor as many people attack with fire and so I am helped greatly by this pokemon.
My Special Defender
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 228 SpD / 32 Spe
Nature: Calm
- Thunderbolt
- Heatwave
- Thunder wave
- Roost
I chose Zapdos for my special defence position for a few reasons. His great stats and good resistances make him hard to beat and with roost I am able to not only keep him alive but also keep him attacking hard with heatwave and thunderbolt. Being completely Resistance to earthquake, I am able to sub Zapdos for any super effective moves and meta and heatran making Zapdos one of the perfect partners. I chose thunder wave over HP grass for the reason that I can cripple teams that rely on their attackers being fast, this makes it very easy for me to come and in sweep.
My Defender
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 176 Def / 16 Spe
Nature: Impish
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
I chose Skarmory for his massive defences and great resistances. He is actually going to be someone in my team I use to sponge attacks. His only weaknesses as well, electric and fire, and gobbled up by my swampert and my heatran making it very hard to skill my Skarmory. I decided to use him as my spiker as well so that other teams would consistently be hurt by SR, Spikes and the occasional thunder wave from Zapdos. Roost is there to heal the damage, and whirlwind is there in order to get rid of those annoying pokemon who either DD, SD, Baton Pass or others such like it. Plus it also hurts other members of their team.
My All-Rounder
Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adament
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Sword Dance
Finally I have my Scizor. The reason I have called Scizor my all around is because i plan to use him both defensively and as a attacker. With SD, Technician, Life Orb, STAB and then a Bullet punch, I really damage teams. The other moves are also quite powerful as well hurting pokemon with either super effective or neutral damage. As I have said before, any fire attacks aimed at Scizor go completely to Heatran and so my Scizor is pretty covered in that department.
Please rate the team I picked and tell me what I could do better. I know there are some pokemon I can only do neutral damage to and wear them down but I think it will be worth it due to the fact that not many pokemon could touch me and I am covered to do super effective damage to almost all OU pokemon.
Anything comment is greatly appreciated.
