ORAS OU What Would Be My UCL Team: The Dubai Dugtrios

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to here it, is it still the work of an evil Pokémon? The answer for the philosophical types is yes but not to worry because the Dubai Dugtrios, led by the world-famous Ampharos "Fabio" began their quest to stop Scarscourge the Infernape from enslaving all of Pokémon to do his bidding. Will the Dugtrios, led by Fabio and co-captained by the titular Dugtrio be able to stop him before the planets align? The fate of the world rests in their hands...

Heyfrens :], I am back again once again (even though this my first rmt) with a new team I built! The team itself is inspired by my headcanon Pokemon Fanon world, which was based on my playthrough of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates To Infinity. As such, a lot of the members are pulled directly from the Pokemon that I recruited in that game, along with a couple draft picks I selected from the UCL pool from pokeaimMD's videos! This team rocketed me to top 100 on the ladder after it was reset, so I believe it's my most effective team yet built.


Theme song of the RMT:
Why did I pick this song? Well, it's just kinda badass, and it fits the personality of the "leader" of my PMD squad: Ampharos!

Fabio! (Ampharos-Mega) @ Ampharosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 187 Def / 69 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 9 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Dragon Pulse
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

I wanted to build around my favourite mega evolution, the legendairy fabio! This guy was incredibly clutch in PMD and Pokeaim has only reinforced the idea in my mind that he is b y far the best mega Evolution in Pokemon.He is really good for the team, being my Talonflamecounter (rests off Wisp and forces it out) and my physical wall. it has rest for reliable recovery and sleeptalk to not be usless after using rest, a trick I picked up from Blunder. I m using dual stab becaus it is strong and volt switch allows me to trap opposing Pokémon. For those wondering about the EV spread, it's max HP, defensive bulk, and then just enough speed to creep certain threats.:]

PokeaimMd (Miltank) @ Rowap Berry
Ability: Scrappy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Body Slam
- Heal Bell
- Milk Drink

The secound mon I added was Pokeaimmd the Miltank, why added him? Well, I cheated a little because I didn't have a Miltank in my Mystery Dungeon team, but I figured it was OK because Pokeaim is my inspiration, and I love how much he loves pokemon, just like me! Its also my special wall and can take special hits all day and deal damage back with the great rowap berry. its also my late game sweeper with curse. It has milkdrink for reliable recovery and heal bell to avoid scald burns and will o wisps. Scrappy is ther so I dont get walled by those Ducslops which is an extreme annoyer to physical pokemon with Wisp and Pain Split.

Muh JamOLDs (Dugtrio) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sand Force
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Memento
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Ice]

I notice that those 2 get walled by heatran pretty easily, so I added the best heatran counter in the game dugtrio, due to its great ability arena trap. Its also my stealth rocks user holding a focus sash to reliably get them up, memento is there to allow my miltank to set up. I decide to use hidden powee ice to hit landorus and garchomp which otherwise wall my jamvads! It's like a lure set since they USUALLY get switched in to tank the EQ - Notice that I don't actually have Arena Trap, I have Sand Force - if they figure it out and switch to Lando or Garchomp to tank the EQ, I would use Hidden Power ICE for a CRISP 2hko. I called it jamOLDs, because joey used the nickname "My Jamvads" once and I found it really fun, jamvad is old! :]

DANGERZONE! (Magnezone) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Magnet Pull
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Lock-On
- Zap Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon

I realized that now that I am not weak to heatran anymore, anohter broken pokemon walls my team: ferrothorn, I realized that magnezone hard counters it. I decided to use lock on zap-cannon because it's the best Electric move move, and I can paralyze faster threats with it. Due to its great bulk it can take hits and lock on more often. HP Fire is obvious to beat forretress, ferrothorn and escavalier. Flash cannon is there to hit clefable gardevoir and the extremely dangerous bellydrum slurpuff, which could sweep the team with Magnezone dead. Air Balloon is to avoid opposing dugtrios which is one of the most threatening trappers to my team... Ironic, as I use one myself.

Karate Waifu (Gothitelle) @ Choice Band
Ability: Shadow Tag
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Brick Break
- Rest
- Trick

I saw many people using scarf gothitelle, but I think they overlooked something very threatening! It gets zen headbutt as solid STAB and brick - break for perfect coverage and as a tyranitar lure. Trick is there to cripple special attackers and bulky pokémon. Rest is there to stall oud moves so they struggle and you Eliminate them.

maractus_used_attract_by_wafflefox-d5kck16.jpg

BestFren <3 (Maractus) @ Wide Lens
Ability: Storm Drain
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain
- Spiky Shield

Why maractus you may ask, well it all started in my first Pokemon game, PMD, like most Pokémon on my team, she's clutch and was able to defeat one of the legend bosses without me using one of my Oran berries. She also reminds me of one of my best friends from school who never made fun of my stutter while others did. Why is it on the team? Mainly a Keldeo counter, he can shrug off Scald and Hydro Pump as well as HP electric due to his typing and ability I gave him spikes so I he can weaken my opponents, he gets allot of free turns to set them up when Keldeo Switches in.Leech seed so I stall them (Wide Lends makes all Leech Seeds hit) and spikey shield so he can protect himself from opposing asaults. Giga Drain is a healthy stab.

Here are some replays showing off the geatness of the team:.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-263685987 - WON against a tryhard. (Tournaments Room)
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-263691211 - LOSS to hax... he bad. (Hellfire Club Room Tryout vs. Hellfire - Nogger)

Thanks for reading.

I'd like to give a shotout to joey - pokeaim on smogon or aim as you guys know him here. In 2014 I was batlting depression. One day I was browsing youtube listening to one of my favorite band's, slipknot when I saw one of Pokeaim's videos in the sidebar, his entertainment and happy personality cheered me up and I got over my depression after about a week of watching Pokeaim, blunder and frens :] Thanks Pokeaim you made my live better!

Sorry for any english mistakse, I tried my best :]!

Shows everyone how godly Maractus is :]]
this team is prob even godlier than my delibird+wailord core
grats 11/1 n_n
 
I have not seen a team like this since... :o

While looking the first three mons, i expected a SubBeam Magnezone, which hardcounter Ferrothorn and Skarmory and can make a potential KO next since he is under sub and most of time at +6 thanks to Charge Beam :o

Great team anyway :]
