The Frozen Boundary
(18:39:35) *** Your rank in Standard OU is 10/49981 [1501 points / 42 battles]! Screen Cap
"Did I just speed-run the ladder?..with Kyurem?"
After a mere 3 hours (& about 20 minutes) of battling, this team skyrocketed to the top 10 of OU. It was the absolute fastest I've ever gotten to even the top 40 of the ladder with a brand new team, let alone the top 10. Ironically this was never meant to be a truly competitive team; it was made as just a refresher team to play around & try something new since I was bored with my Musketeer team. Until I went through and broke everything down myself, I didn't actually understand why it was working as well as it was. But I've done some testing since then though, (I've been hovering in the 1400s since the peak) and because I've spent a little time with this team now, I understand some of the flaws, but for the sake off continuity I'm going to keep this RMT about the rank 10 version even though I know it has issues and just list my thoughts on problems & possible replacements in each Pokemon's team breakdown.
Team Building
Kyurem: a perfect first piece for a team with it's decent speed, great bulk, massive offensive stats, and a very helpful Dragon-typing. Other than being weak to Stealth Rock, it has no glaring flaws.
One solid Pokemon deserves another. Kyurem has a bit of an issue with Stall, specifically Chansey. I knew from previous experience that CM Refresh Latias cleans up that problem and Stall in general and it also covers Landorus & Terrakion, two of the Pokemon Kyurem fears the most.
Instinctually, to cover Latias' weak points, Scizor was chosen as the next member. The two cover each other's weaknesses perfectly and Scizor also give Kyurem plenty of chances to switch in with U-turn's switch priority. Since I'm already using Scizor, this seemed like a perfect time to try out a set I thought of trying after watching an RU Match where a Expert Belt Rotom did all sorts of work, which seemed like a very smart idea for Rotom-W as well since everyone assumes a Scarf Rotom-W. Since Latias walks all over Gastrodon, there's no point in running Toxic so I can run Thunder Wave to ruin Rotom-W's other common switch-ins, flipping Kyurem's odds against faster Pokemon in the process.
I still needed Stealth Rocks as well as a bit more Dragon protection. I knew that Latias, Rotom-W, & Kyurem had no shot against Salamence & Latios so Heatran fell into place as the Steel-type that can take a Fire Blast or HP Fire. Heatran, like Scizor, has perfect synergy with Latias
Whimsicott was the perfect last choice but I actually only threw it on the team just to try it out. I never expected her to work so well. She gives me a way to prevent set-ups (Baton Pass can't even touch this team because of her) as well as a Pokemon to stop on-going sweeps. Having yet another Pokemon resistant to Water always helps too.
And that's actually my entire team-building process. Right after I made the team, it just took off, stomping everything in it's path. No changes were needed until after I peaked.
Team Breakdown
The "artwork" was done by me just for quick shits & giggles.
Celestia (Latias) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 228 Def / 28 Spe
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Refresh
Latias is the glue that holds everything together. Resistance to Fire, Grass, & Fighting are perfect for covering Rotom-W, Scizor, & Kyurem to an extent. She doesn't mind taking any status minus Sleep & Freeze, which means my team has no trouble with Toxic Stall with her around. In fact, there's only a handful of common Pokemon she has real trouble with after a CM boost: Leech Seed Ferrothorn, CM Jirachi, Scizor, Physical Tyranitar, Salamence, & Haxorus. Of course things like Mamoswine and Metagross can do a number on her, but they're not nearly as common as those 6.
The set is standard Calm Mind for any Pokemon really, but her typing, ability, & Refresh makes her absolute hell to take down since Burn, Toxic, & Paralysis can be removed. It renders Toxic Stall Politoed, Gliscor, & Heatran entirely useless, and those are some pretty big Pokemon for any team to say they have no issues with. It takes a few Calm Minds for her to get going, but once her counters are removed, she has no trouble sweeping teams.
But her counters are pretty solid Pokemon that can't just be removed at will. Ferrothorn is the biggest issue, however. He and Jirachi are the only Pokemon Rain teams generally carry that can shut down Latias with Scizor right behind them. So removing them is always my first priority in a match. Luckily, Kyurem's HP Fire & Heatran's Fire Blast roasts all 3, but, in Rain, they're much harder than that to take out, making Kyurem useless against them bar Focus Blast or a Hidden Power Fire on low HP Ferrothorn or Scizor and Heatran gets walled by the Water-types that accompany the Steel-types. For as essential as Latias is to the team, I NEED a good way to deal with them.
Corset (Scizor) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
I'll never give up a chance to make Scizor look adorable.
This set is just vintage Scizor. U-turn to scout, Bullet Punch for priority, Pursuit to grab Latios, and sometimes Celebi, by the neck, and Superpower to hit Steel-types. It's all super-standard.
U-turn, as I stated before, lets Kyurem switch in safely as well as Whimsicott. Except for Tentacruel, nothing that enjoys switching in on Scizor will ever like Kyurem so they function extremely well together. Of course Volt-Turning is another strategy I have access too but I never find myself falling back on it all that often, surprisingly, since Kyurem, Heatran, & Whimsicott can handle nearly everything Rotom-W can. Scizor really is one of the biggest parts of the team just for U-turn alone. I never find myself using Bullet Punch much unless it's to revenge kill. I somehow use Pursuit more than Bullet Punch. She works at least, so no sense in me making problems where there aren't any.
Adorabolt (Rotom-W) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunder Wave
Rotom-W is Scizor's partner in crime, forming the Volt-Turn strategy, which is as good as it is over-used. Rotom-W's weakness almost never comes into play since all 5 of it's teammates resist Grass. Because Rotom has the option to change attacks, it's job completely depends on what kind of team I see in team preview, but one thing usually stays certain; Rotom's bluffing a Choice Item until I can KO an unsuspecting Pokemon by switching moves. Ferrothorn & Gliscor in particular come up often. Rotom also paralyzes Physical Jirachi so Latias can always out-pace it to just set up and Refresh as she wishes. But outside of that, Thunder Wave cripples Rotom-W's switch-ins like Latios as well as help Kyurem & Latias sweep with their average speed.
Rotom keeps Water-types like Gyarados at bay. Bluffing the Choice Scarf not only scares Gyarados out at +1 due to him thinking Rotom will out-speed, but it also draws in Gyarados, Starmie, and the like if they think Rotom's locked into Hidden Power Fire or Hydro Pump. With how much I rely on bluffing Choice, I have a feeling I'll regret making this RMT if I run into someone that read it...
Me Gustran (Heatran) (F) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Metal Sound
- Stealth Rock
Heatran is here for 1 reason: Stealth Rock. We should all be familiar with how Air Balloon Heatran plays minus Metal Sound so I won't go in-depth about her. Besides, I don't think she'll be on the team much longer anyhow... The Fire immunity is pretty nice, but unless it's Sun that I'm dealing with, Latias & Rotom-W can handle Fire attacks, even Kyurem has the bulk to tank a couple.
Heatran was fantastic on the way up the ladder, but after spending more time with the team, I found that Heatran gets stopped by the exact same Pokemon Kyurem does unless it nails them with a Metal Sound on the switch. Blissey and Chansey are bad enough, but it's the addition of being walled, or at least forced out, by Tentacruel that tipped the scales out of Heatran's favor for me. Tenta's just too common and when he's paired with Ferrothorn, (which is always) it leaves me with the big problem of my Tentacruel counter, Latias, being walled & Leech Seeded by Ferrothorn and not being able to do enough damage back even at +6 Special Attack. Again, Metal Sound does help Heatran's case, but it never feels like enough to justify running Heatran in the long run while I could be running something that doesn't need to lower their stats to deal with them.
I've tried replacing her with a few Pokemon, but nothing ever clicked. Magnezone was probably the closest to "it" but Mag still had the "can't touch Blissey" problem.
Planty Pie (Whimsicott) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Encore
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Stun Spore
While her hair & Pokemon Cry may suggest a party, she's actually the biggest kill-joy in OU...wait, she's RU?...Huh. Anyway, sweeps do not happen when she's around. Encore & Stun Spore make sure of that, and Scizor's U-turn & Rotom-W's Volt Switch make sure she has no problem abusing it.
I love Whimsicott just for priority Stun Spore. U-turning Pokemon like Mienshao & Landorus give Latias a hard time, so Whimsicott switches in and brings them down to a speed Latias & Kyurem can handle, effectively destroying the other team's momentum. But there are so many things Whimsicott is great for slowing down that Whimsicott starts to get stretched thin when multiple Pokemon like that show up. Specifically Terrakion & Landorus, who leave huge dents in her afro. SubSeed is also great to have, but sometimes it actually makes Whimsicott a bit of a cleric for the team if the seeded Pokemon stays in as I switch to Latias or something. She does help out with stall but not as much as I'd like. But still, she's a very solid member of the team that more often than not will carry her fair share of the work.
Ice Chicken (Kyurem) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 12 HP / 252 SAtk / 244 Spe
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
All glory to the majestic Ice Chicken! Kyurem's like a mix of Dragonite & Latios. It's not the fastest Dragon, but it's bulky, oh so powerful, but not Pursuit-weak like Latios; in fact Kyurem trashes Tyranitar with Focus Blast, which also does quite a number on Blissey & Jirachi coming just short of a 2HKO. While Ice is the worst defensive typing, it does work with Dragon fairly well by cancelling Dragon's Ice weakness, letting Kyurem have more synergy with his Dragon brethren. In my case, it would be Latias. It's pretty much Starmie's worst nightmare come true. In fact, a large portion of Rain & Water-type Pokemon struggle to damage Kyurem. His insane power & coverage doesn't help them either.
Draco Meteor is Kyurem's bread & butter. After Steel-types are removed, which Kyurem can do by itself thanks to Focus Blast & HP Fire, the opposing Pokemon drop like flies every time Kyurem gets a chance to switch in. Ice Beam offers a fantastic second STAB when I want to save Draco Meteor or predict a switch to something like Ferrothorn while not risking too much due to Ice Beam's solid coverage. Focus Blast is what makes Kyurem terrifying. All teams pack a Latios counter, but a Focus Blast or 2 breaks most of the Pokemon that would wall Kyurem's cousin, specifically Tyranitar. Hidden Power Fire deals with Ferrothorn & Scizor, should I be bold enough to expect a U-turn. I sometimes do feel safe just attacking Scizor since I know that even if he Bullet Punches & takes down Kyurem, he's put himself in a very bad position as I have U-turn or Volt Switch to fall back on and regain my momentum. But I only risk it when I truly think Scizor will U-Turn.
In terms of this team, Kyurem is sometimes the MVP of the team and sometimes it's the least valuable. I specifically remember playing against the 6th rated player on the server and how Kyurem alone KOed 4 (may have been 3) members of his team. Sometimes Kyurem just works flawlessly and sometimes it's just forced to sit on the side-lines, cheering on it's team because something like a Full-Health Blissey or Chansey is lurking around the corner. In fact those two are almost always the reason Kyurem has to wait on the sidelines as he doesn't have much of a problem with any other walls. Even Tentacruel takes about 80% from Draco Meteor. Unfortunately, in the upper half of the ladder, (I keep my search settings to a 150 point difference) Blissey & Chansey are more staples of stall than they are in the lower half, making life up top much harder for Kyurem.
