Magmortar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flame Charge
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast

-Magmortar is a nice fit to this team, since its a safe switchin to Fire/Ice types like zard/aboma that this team doesnt have a switchin to. It also checks Weezing/Plume which this team cant break, and even without having a electric immunity, magmortar is still a good answer to things like rotom/manectric since AV boosts its bulk to decent lvl. Stallbreaker mismagius can put a lot work as well, since team is hazard based and taunt missy prevents it from spiking while being able to burn most part of the team, but wisp/hex cant break magmortar.

Grumpig @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock / Psychic
- Signal Beam
- Focus Blast

Specially defensive Fire-resist is definitely a good idea, and I think Grumpig fits really well as it also gives you a nice win condition if you get rid of physical attackers with Garbodor / Ferroseed. Couldn't decide on a STAB attack as both have benefits for your team (Psyshock deals with Yama / Magmortar, Psychic gives your team more special offense in general) but offensive CM seems to be the way to go to capitalise on your offensive teammates and hazard stack. Colbur Berry also lets it act as an emergency Malamar check if required.

- Toxic Spikes

-First thing I noticed while taking a look in team was fighting resist only being Choice specs mesprit, which isnt enough for team, considering its pretty hitmonchan/hariyama weak. Xatu/musharna would stack scyther weakness and team is pretty offensive for musharna to shine, it also doesnt have hazard removal. I started debating between Weezing and Garbodor which are both decent fit in team, but I definitely think garbodor is a better fit here since spikes support allows tauros/lilligant to late game clean easier,it gives team another normal check since helmet + aftermath are great combination together to easily wear them down. Another reason i went with garbodor over weezing is because ground weakness isnt that big, mesprit is immune to EQ, and lilligant/ferroseed are good checks to DD rhydon/barbaracle/omastar while lanturn can outsped rhydon before boost. I also checked if team was malamar weak while making decision, but between signal beam mesprit/signal beam lanturn+ offensive pressure of team I think its enough to handle malamar so weezing wasnt that neccesary.

Magmortar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Mild Nature
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Earthquake / Focus Blast
- Flame Charge

Flame Charge Magmortar is a pretty cool set that I think goes well with this team. It provides a concrete Freeze Dry resist and assists in tanking Fire-type attacks for Ferroseed and Lilligant, while also providing some offense breaking support with Flame Charge so that Lilligant and Tauros can clean up later. It relieves some of the pressure from Lanturn for tanking all the special hits, and Healing Wish Mesprit can give Magmortar a second chance at sweeping if necessary.
 
I have a set. Be warned: using this set will make you worse than Hitler, AIDS, Cancer and Satan combined if you use this in anywhere other than OU

Dusclops @ Eviolite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spite
- Flash
- Rest
- Mean Look
This is a stall GOD right here. Basically it's only counter is it'self and taunt. It traps opponents in with mean look, and slowly degrades their accuracy and PP with flash. It's also immune to statuses with rest, and makes PP go down faster with spite. Eventually, it goes down to struggle and the Pokemon kill it'self with recoil. It'll also beat choice (band, scarf, specs) users even faster with spite, flash, and rest stalling. The thing is, if you're lucky (And/or your opponent is stupid) you can potentially 6-0 a team with this. Quick note: Thanks to Showderp for this set. Couldn't have done it without you, you magnificent bastards.

ok, erisia wins! Congrats :) (I would've used your team but all my teams were deleted, alas..)


This week's team was given to me by fellow Dutchie Jarii , thanks! It's a cool Balance-esque team featuring Specs Mesprit, as well as Specs Lapras and a very scary threat in Rock Polish + 3 attacks Torterra! Can you figure out the last mon?
Lapras @ Choice Specs

Pelipper @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- U-turn
- Defog
- Roost

-As much as I despise Pelipper, its a good and probably the most decent fit since it provides everything this team needs. So far team has 3 pokemon weak to fighting types, and only fighting check is specs mesprit which definitely cant be enough for bulkier builds like this. Pelipper also provides a defog support which is useful for pokemon like lapras that dont like getting slowly weakened every time it gets in. Team has no speed control, but theres no way of fixing it since there are no fast fighting checks/switchins, and between RP torterra and priority skuntank it should be ok. Samurott also looks like one of biggest threats since megahorn threatens most members that can take a +2 waterfall, and Pelipper deals well vs it. U-turn is a great move that provides momentum and can bring either of specs mesprit/specs lapras which enjoy getting a free switchin without getting damaged.
