I am THE Physical Alakazam, here for an RMT centered around my favorite play style: Hyper Offense (Fuck Stall).
Teambuilding Process:
I wanted to use mega gyarados because it got crunch this generation and because it is stupid powerful.
I decided to add azelf and scarfcadrill as as a suicide lead and rapid spinner respectively.
Dragonite, landorus, and thundurus were the backup sweepers.
The Team:
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
Mega Gyarados is a powerhouse. It has base 155 attack and two of the best attacking types in the game for STAB, access to dragon dance and the best move in the game, earthquake. Coupled with mold breaker, this thing runs through things like Rotom-W, Gliscor, and 2HKOs Mega Slowbro at +1. The evs are standard to maximize power and speed. I run jolly over adamant so that I do not get outsped by beedrill and sceptile at +1. Intimidate is so that I can get a free dragon dance on physical attackers.
Calcs:
+1 252 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 264-312 (86.8 - 102.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
+1 252 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados Waterfall vs. 244 HP / 28+ Def Gliscor: 326-386 (92.6 - 109.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+1 252 Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Slowbro: 210-248 (53.2 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Explosion
Azelf is one of the best suicide leads in ou IMO. With a fast taunt and stealth rock, it can beat most leads (namely heatran, ferro, and breloom). It also has access to fire blast and explosion, to put a dent in everything except heatran, chandelure, and rock types. My azelf is naive because I wanted to take priority attacks better. I did not know what evs to have so I just went with a 252/252/4 spread. I am open to suggestions on this poke and on the evs.
Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
Scarfcadrill is a staple on HO teams for its power and access to rapid spin. Standard moves and evs, jolly because I want to outspeed beedrill and sceptile, and mold breaker to punish rotom-w. I do not really know what else to say so do not get on my case about the RMT rules.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- ExtremeSpeed
- Fire Punch
Dragonite is my backup physical sweeper and an all around amazing pokemon. I decided on a lum berry d-dance set with outrage to dent mega sableye. The lum also provides support for outrage. With the choice band set running around, I thought that I might be able to catch some people off guard. I ran jolly to have as much speed as possible, but I can change to adamant with some persuasion. The evs are standard for a dragonite and fire punch and e-speed are for priority and fire coverage (FUCK YOU FERROTHORN).
Calcs:
+1 252 Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Sableye: 186-219 (61.1 - 72%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
Landorus-I is a completely underrated threat. With sheer force and a life orb, it is way too powerful. Earth power is my main attacking move to hit a lot of things hard. The other moves are for coverage and power. Standard evs and ivs, and a timid nature for speed. I am considering a rock polish set but convincing from you guys would definitely help.
Calcs:
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Psychic vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Mega Venusaur: 263-309 (72.2 - 84.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 309-367 (87.7 - 104.2%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
Thundurus (M) @ Muscle Band
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Superpower
- Knock Off
I decided that my last pokemon was going to be thundurus to punish common defoggers like Latios and Latias. The muscle band, if you do not know, powers up physical moves by 10%. I gave my thundurus this to enhance its mixed attacking capabilities. I did not run life orb because I did not want to take the recoil but I might change that. The evs are numbers I pulled from my ass so I will need some help with those. The moveset is pretty standard.
Replays:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-205377074 Winning with rapid spin=Automatic cool points
Conclusion:
This team has a huge ice weakness so I am definitely open to changes.
Thanks for your help!
