It's that time again Easter, the choclate is flowing, the eggs are rolling and the rabbits are raving! And in over used there is no shortage of exceptional rabbits from the metalic mageeerna, to the aquabunny azumaril. The team aims to make good use of the abilty of these three rabbits of ou -m-lopbunny, azumaril, and magearna which synergise well with the help of lando, heatran, and tapu bulu to make a solid offfensive team that still has a fair of easter theme.
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
Azumaril is just one of those pokemon that has been given more and more over the years, whether that be acess to aqua jet, one of the best abilities in the game in huge power, or even gaining a fairy typing. Sadly 7th gen has been a diffrent story with new threats to azumaril, and new fairy types like bulu either taking it's nieches or just flat walling the aqua bunny. Still azumaril has acess to the very powerull belly drum with stab priority and a massive attack stat due to it's ability. The team is using the standard belly drum set a set that can tear appart walls and weak frail faster attackers which helps m-lopbunny do her job of cleaning up after azumaril or vice versa. The set is simple enough with max eves in speed and attack with an adamant nature for max damage and to outspeed walls it can proceed to crush after a belly drum, the sitrus berry allows azumaril to recover after a belly drum while allowing another pokemon to use the z crystal. the move set is pretty standard with duel stab one being priority with knock off over waterfall for it's ability to cripple walls and provide additional coverage.
Lopunny @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- High Jump Kick
- Power-Up Punch
- Encore
Mega-lopbunny is a classic example of a cleaner, it has high speeed and attacking stats but is also very frail. Thanks to a newly aquired fighting type and a fantastic ability in scrappy which allows lopbunny to hit ghost types like mimiku and gengar with it's stabs with powerful stabs, m-lopbunny finds it's self solidly over used. On the team the bunny is complimented by other rabbit theme pokemon azumaril and magearna, with magearna m-lopbunny finds easier ways to switch in thanks to a slow volt turn and landorus-t finding similar ways to aid with the ability to intimidate powerful attackers that outspeed the bunny with scarf. The set is another standard one, return and high jump kick are powerful duel stab that provide fantastic neatral coverage on their own, power up punch can be used on the switch to kill a would be counter with a boosted powerful stab move while encore can lock counters into boosting moves. Ajolly nature and max eves in attack and speed allow lopunny to outspeed most of the meta w/o scarf and deal out alot of damage with it's high attack and stab moves to boot.
Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
IVs: Spe 22
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Fleur Cannon
- Iron Head
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Volt Switch
Mgearna has a fantastic typing backed by a fantastic move pool with a great ability and well rounded stats, so naturally on realse it became one of the bets pokemon in ou. The metalic rabbit is one of the best assult vest users in the game which is very helpful for azumaril and lopbunny to get in and set up or clean up in particular as niether is fond of taking a blow. With it's fantastic typing it also pairs well with tapu bulu who removes it's ground weakness while in terrain effectively while magearna is completely immune to poison which destroys bulu. The set again is the straight forward assult vest chosen to bulk the team up again special attackers but in particular it's ability to pivot into lopbunny and azumaril to allow them to their job. Fleur cannon is powerful fairy stab to help finnish off threats with soul heart mitigating the Spa drop if it koes, iron head hurts fairies and the physical move hurts fairies on their weaker defensive stat such as clefable, hp fire gives coverage against ferrothorn and scirzor and volt switch allows for magearna to be a solid pivot. The eves allow for maxium bulk with a little to aid SpA damage, with a sassy nature allowing iron head to avoid being weakened by a clam nature as well as the reduced speed allowing magearna to take a hit and pivot out. With advice from gross sweep again a change in ivs to magearna allows magearna to piviot from cressillia who would otherwise be faster in slower bulkier builds.
Heatran @ Firium Z
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
Heatran is an amazing glue pokemon. It fits well into so many teams for it's ability to break stall, to provide support or even be a great offensive attacker in it's own right thanks to a great typing and movepool. On the team heatran helps support mega lopunny in particular by breaking down stall a bit than to it's unquie powerful move - magma storm, which allows him to trap pokemon and taunt themor finnish them off while they bleed to magma stormsa redidual damage. Fireium z allows for a completely accurate power stab fire move to finnish off bulkier threats in the blink of an eye, while earth power helps with coverage. Stealth rock and taunt provide support for the team, while the latter allows heatran to prevent set up or crippling status to heatran or his teammates from thunderwave in particular. A timid nature with maximium investment in speed nad special attack allow him to outpace walls and slower wall breakers to help trap and destroy them.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 64 Def / 196 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn
- Defog
Argubly the best jack of all trades glue pokemon in the game for over used. What ever team you might have landorous likely can find a place on it's, he's just that flexable. From high attacking stats, great ability and fantastic typing he joins the team to fill in a niche. Landorous I was intially wanting to use his defensive set but I am trying out his classic scarf set. while not as bulky as his defensive set his ability allows him to come in on attacks and pivot out with u-turn. Defog allows him to control hazards for the team only taking sr neautraly, earthquake is classive powerful stab, hp ice allows landorous to damage fellow lanorouses and even with a - nature for special attack and only 60 base power landos naturally decent 105 special attack and the numerous pokemon 4x weak to ice make a powerful coverage option. Ajolly nature allows landorous to outpace many threats with over 450 base speed including neutral speed natured scarf pokemon and base 90 and bellow + natured speed pokemon. With advice from gross sweep to make lando bulkier but still outspeed threats like ashninja, which is great for the team lacking a bit on physical bulk vs special.
Tapu Bulu @ Life Orb
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
- Horn Leech
- Superpower
Origonally seen as a lack luster tapu, even lacking physical fairy stab, bulu has come along way to be a top threat in ou. With it's ability to summon grassy terrain bulu helps support it's team mate with that nice passive healing especially azumaril if it's damaged prievously before drumming, with both heatran and magearna aprechiating the healing as both lack any form of recover and both benifit from the terrains nerf to ground type attacks. The sub set was chosen as another wall breaker as Av role was covered by magearna and heatran was using the teams z-crystal. The sub set can ironically be free to use life orb thanks to tapu blu's ability to heal off any damage via terrain or horn leach. Behind a substitute bulu can set up a sd against walls or hit a would be counter hard behind a sub before it's forced out. Superpower and horn leech provide exellent coverage with sp great for pesky steels and sd plus sub to help mitigate it's negative effect, horn leeech is great grass stab which allows bulu to heal and boosted by grassy terrain.
