U Mad? Come at Me, Bro

[Izzy_Acid_Muffin]

This is my first crack at a 5th gen OU team. My goal with this team is to rely on resistances and wall breakers as well as my defensive core to wear down the opponent's team and set up for the late-game Drill Sweep.

LEAD

Broseidon (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Taunt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder Wave

• chosen as a lead mainly for Prankster
• dat Priority Taunt and T-Wave
• Volt Switch hits harder than expected, HPIce has allowed me to stop some Dragon sweeps
• pretty mediocre mid-late game
• dies to everything

Offensive Core

Tyranibro (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 180 SAtk / 76 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Crunch

• Wall Breaker with SR because breeding keeps Ferrothorn from learning it and spikes
• lols at all the Ferrothorns switching in to set up on it
• dat special bulk
• dat sandstream to set up the Drill Sweep
• all around true bro in battle

• fuck yeah OU garchomp

Come At Me (F) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- X-Scissor

• Cleans everything late game
• Balloon is ridiculous
• double speed in sand is ridiculous
• swords dance with 135 base attack is ridiculous
• quakeslide with x-scissor covers basically everything
• seriously gamefreak, wtf are you doing?

Defensive Core

U Jelly? (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Scald
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Energy Ball

• Pairs with Ferrothorn well
• Water Absorb is good
• Recover is good
• Burn covers its poor defense
• Energy Ball because seriously fuck swampert
• I hate how this thing dies more than I would like it to

U Frustrated? (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Protect

• Pairs with Jellicent well
• Spikes is ridic on this guy
• Leech Seed + Protect + Lefties is awesome
• Gyro Ball hits like a truck

So far, the team does well against everything except teams with SWAMPERT. SERIOUSLY.

I'm willing to replace Jelly and Thundurus because they haven't been working as well for me in practice as they should be on paper.

Excachompitar is obvi good and I think any team running these 3 guys has a solid base in OU.

Jellythorn is not as good as the hype led me to believe :/

 

[Jaroda]

Huge Conkeldurr problems, especially if Thundurus kicks it. After a bulk up it can safely Drain Punch your entire team, and if you switch in Jellicent, have fun activating Guts and dying to Stone Edge or Payback. Use a Reuniclus. It's immune to Sandstorm and one of the best Conkeldurr counters. Likewise Gliscor with Poison Heal and Acrobatics is a great counter.

Ferrothorn CAN learn SR and Spikes. It just can't learn both and Leech Seed at the same time. And use Power Whip if you're having Swampert problems.

Garchomp should be Jolly and you're missing 4 EVs on his spread.

Try lead Machamp instead of Thundurus to deal heavy damage early and confusion hax.

 

[Eos]

On Jellicent:
Should run Surf over Scald if you are running WoW.
Run Shadow Ball over energy ball due to
Ferrothorn: Should run Power Whip over Protect. Yes protect is a good scouting move for you and for you to see what your opponent will switch into, because you only ever switch Ferrothorn in if you want to wall or set up entry hazards.
Should run Sassy nature, with max HP / Special Defense to power your walling capabilities as well as Gyro Ball's Power.
Otherwise, good sets. I'm not going to touch on your weaknesses, but just like Jaroda said, you are quite weak to Fighting-type attacks and 'mons. (Conkeldurr or Scrafty).
