XY OU Trying to use Mega Tyranitar

248Tyranitar-Mega.png

Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch​
This is the Pokemon I built my team around. As I needed a sweeper for this team, I chose to use the Dragon Dance set with 3 attacks. I have Stone Edge just for a nice STAB coverage for hitting things like Rotom-W and Earthquake for mainly Steel types (Heatran, Aegislash, etc.) Last but not least, Ice Punch is a crucial move since Gliscor and Landorus-T wall this set very well. The EV's are simple. Maximize speed and attack. The Jolly nature gives Mega Tyranitar to outspeed a lot of threats at +1 and even at +0 speed.

Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Surf
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind​
Essentially my main wallbreaker for my team. Choice Specs is a really good item for Keldeo as its Special Attack is already so enormous, most of the time I don't even need to predict anything. I just spam Hydro Pumps/Secret Swords as most mons are either easily 2HKO'd or OHKO'd. Icy Wind is there for Pokemon such as Dragonite and also comes in handy when you need to lower the opposing Pokemon's speed.
646Kyurem-Black.png

Kyurem-Black @ Leftovers
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 56 HP / 216 SpA / 236 Spe
Rash Nature
- Substitute
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Fusion Bolt​
Ah, the long forgotten monster of OU. While fairies have apparently pushed this behemoth out of the tier, in my opinion, it still remains a very big threat as demonstrated by this set. This Pokemon fits very well with my team. It's ability Teravolt, gives it a lot of leverage as it is able to get past Dragonite (OHKO'ing it because it negates Multiscale) while also getting past Mega Venusaur (negates Thick Fat) with Ice Beam. As you can already see with Mega Tyranitar and Keldeo, Mega Venusaur is a big check for my team as it stops a lot of my Pokemon. However, Kyurem-B with Substitute and Ice Beam is easily able to get around it.

Aegislash @ Air Balloon
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
- Iron Head
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak
- King's Shield​
Along with Keldeo, Aegislash is the other wallbreaker on my team. Maxing out its Attack and Special Attack allows it to deal tremendous amounts of damage to the other team. I'm using Iron Head instead of Sacred Sword because of fairies. My team has no Pokemon that resist Fairy except Aegislash. In fact, 4/6 my Pokemon are weak to fairy moves. Iron Head (while surely not uncommon) is a pretty good physical move for this Aegislash as it OHKO's a lot of Fairies.
381Latios.png

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf​
While my team isn't too weak to Stealth Rock, it does wear down my Pokemon gradually as switching is so common in this metagame. This Defog + 3 attacks is a pretty good moveset as Draco Meteor obliterates anything that isn't a Chansey/Blissey/Fairy types and HP Fire along with Surf serve as good coverage moves to hit Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Heatran.
479Rotom-Wash.png

Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 224 Def / 32 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Trick​
Rotom-Wash. While I absolutely hate going against it, I can see why so many people use it. Rotom-W fantastic typing is a perfect fit for my team as it is immune to Ground type moves which hurt my team pretty badly. As you can also notice, my team doesn't have a scarfer. Rotom-W takes care of this. Paired with Trick, Rotom-W can effectively cripple bulky mons such as Mandibuzz/Blissey while at the same time receiving beneficial items like Leftovers. The 32 SpA allows it to OHKO Gliscor at full health with Hydro Pump.

Thank you guys for reading this. I appreciate any feedback/criticism you guys have!
 
Just a random thought, but you could switch out substitute on Kyurem-Black and play Dragon Pulse for good STAB, and then give it an Assault Vest for some extra special bulk
 
Hey, your team is pretty solid so I'll suggest mostly minor changes, but I don't think Rotom-W fits the team very well. It really doesn't offer any important coverage as you have Blissey/Chansey/Mandibuzz and such covered with Tyranitar and Keldeo while its awkward speed tier is too slow to outspeed threats you would really want to outspeed such as Charizard X at +1. Because of that, and because Clefable does a number to your team even with Aegislash, I would consider switching out Rotom-W for a Sand Rush Excadrill with an Air Balloon. Excadrill gives you another pseudo ground immunity like Aegislash and with sand support from Tyranitar, outspeeds pretty much every Pokemon in the game. It also pairs excellently with Tyranitar on the offensive side of things as Tyranitar can take out Gliscor and Landorus-T for Excadrill to capitalize on. It also helps with Thundurus as with a Life Orb and very little prior damage it can at worst 2HKO every Pokemon on your team while outspeeding all of them bar Rotom-W itself, who really doesn't like taking Life Orb boosted Thunderbolts. It also offers you another Fairy resist and Steel STAB which, as already mentioned, helps a lot against Clefable. As for smaller changes, I would suggest putting Scald over Surf on Keldeo as the lower base power is rarely a big deal while the burn on Pokemon such as Mega Venusaur is invaluable for your team. In the same vein, I would also give Latios Psyshock over Surf as your team really doesn't have big problems with Heatran while Psyshock hits Azumarill for a 2HKO, another very threatening Pokemon to your team. It also provides more coverage against Mega Venusaur. You should also replace Defog with Roost as you don't really need Defog anymore with Excadrill taking over the role of removing hazards. Lastly, I would move Aegislash's attack EVs into HP as the extra damage doesn't really make a difference (you still don't come close to OHKOing Physically Defensive Clefable and you only have a narrow chance of 2HKOing Azumarill while uninvested Iron Head + Iron Head + Shadow Sneak needs very little prior damage to do the same). Aegislash also appreciates the additional bulk as it is one of your best Latios switch-ins.

Since Ferrothorn is a giant threat to your team, with only one pokemon that can handle it (Hp Fire on latios) I suggest Giving Tyranitar Fire Punch >Ice Punch since ferrothorn can put a quick stop to your team it would be great having another thing to take it on. While Gliscor can still be a threat to it you can still switch into other pokemon to easily kill it. Well Hope I helped at least a little bit. Other than that Great team :^)
