Hi everyone, this is my bulky offense team that im trying to get on high ladder. The team is built around the Melmetal and Magearna core, that worked really well when i tried. There aren't lots of counters of this, so I did all the team to support the core.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TEAM -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SPECIAL GEAR (Magearna) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fleur Cannon
- Flash Cannon
- Aura Sphere
- Volt Switch
The first pokemon of the basic core, I prefer using this set because i can deal with Celesteela and Ferrothorn, Fleur Cannon as it is Magearna's best STAB, and if your opponent doesn't have any fairy resistance, this little gear hits just like a truck, the spread is the basic non-shift gear spread. About the item, assault vest is my favorite for magearna, and it became better in this gen because it helps Magearna to check spectrier. Pretty basic AV Magearna.
THE PHYSICAL GEAR (Melmetal) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 12 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
WAIT, ANOTHER AV?? Yes, Melmetal's Special Defense is pretty bad, so I like using Assault vest on it, with this spread melmetal can tank a CC from Pheromosa and Magma storm from Heatran. About the moves, pretty basic i think, but I prefer using Earthquake over Superpower because i can check Heatran with less difficult and Regieleki. The second one is not a problem because I'm playing OU, and you know what every OU team runs.
smogen dog (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Defog
- U-turn
HE IS BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, finally this guy is back to Overused, and it is even better now because there is no HP Ice and can check things like regieleki like a god. Heavy duty boots make Landorus even more good because it can pivot even with rocks, defog because i didn't have any better defogger in my team. I can tell much about landorus, everyone knows this guy.
tapu fini hater (Heatran) (M) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Toxic
The volcarona counter, with melmetal and magearna in the team it was pretty obvious that volcarona would just kill my principal core, while building this team I saw that i needed a fire type pokemon, and i couldn't see any better options. Heatran is one of the best pokemon in this meta, offensive spread, with taunt + toxic because this is my stallbreaker. Basic offensive heatran.
fair n balance (Dragapult) (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Darts
- Phantom Force
- Substitute
LUM BERRY AND SUBSTITUTE?? Calm down, let me explain. With this set i can hard enter with Dragapult in passive pokemon, so it can eat my lum berry with toxic/twave/willo and i can subs in front of it, pretty gimmick i know, but works. While building this team i saw that i didn't have any sweeper so this is the one i have, and this one of the biggest threats in OU. Clear body because i hate getting intimidated.
i am levitate (Latios) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
Speed control is really important and i couldn't get any better than latios for this team. Double stab + bolt beam, there are no resistances for this set, i don't get walled by things like toxapex. I really like using scarf latios, is faster than +1 volcarona, scarf lando, scarf garchomp, scarf kartana. Latios is really good.
