Welcome to my team showcase of my team, the Green Dragons! It is based around
sweeping with my two Green Dragons, Shiny Dragonite and Shiny MegaZard X.
<><><><><><><><><><>
Teambuilding
I began with my first dragon type, Mega Zard X.
The idea of HO came to me when I added Dragonite.
I knew I would need an extremely hard hitting mon to prep for a sweep
or clean up games so I opted for Staraptor.
I realized I was running all physical attackers so I added Thundurus-T.
Volt Absorb also helps cover up weaknesses.
I needed a revenge killer and fairy counter so I went with Bisharp
because of the mind games that can be played with it.
This was a random choice, I went with this since I was still lacking special
attackers.
In-Depth
Cherryzard (Charizard-Mega-X) @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
This is my first sweeper. Argueably the best DD mon in the game, Zard X can hit like a truck with tough claws+base 130 attack. My moveset is pretty standard, although I chose Outrage over DClaw because the extra damage is really nice.
Dragonitite (Dragonite) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Ice Punch
This is my second sweeper. Multiscale allows Dragonite to get essentially a free DD, and so does Lum Berry. I have Outrage for damage, ESpeed for the priority, and I'm running ice punch over EQ because the rest of the team doesn't enjoy chomp and gliscor.
Suicidal Bird (Staraptor) @ Choice Band
Ability: Reckless
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Double-Edge
- Close Combat
- U-turn
Quite the suicidal bird. This thing is literally a lawnmower on low gas, I like to call it. It'll clear a path until it is out of gas (or killed itself with recoil), then it allows my dragons to sweep. Since this is an all out attacking set I went for the most damage, with stab brave bird and double edge.
The Storm (Keldeo) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
This mon is rated as one of the best in OU, and for good reason. With great coverage and extremely high offensive stats, anything that takes a neutral hit is going to be hurting. I'm running the standard set as usual.
Mind Games (Bisharp) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
Not much to say, Bisharp is very self-explanatory. Probably the best revenge killer in OU, with sucker punch hitting hard and iron head and knock off, you can play mind games with opponents to try to set up SD or knock off, or try to KO with SP.
Thoron (Thundurus-Therian) @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
This is an amazing mon. It barely sees usage, but I feel like it should get more. The combo of a powerful movepool and great stats makes this a horrific sweeper if an NP is set up. It also gets free switch ins on predictable volt switchers like rotom-w.
