Hello everyone!
I'm relatively new to the competitive world of Pokémon. I'm brand new to smogon and I've never made a team around using the smogon tiers. anyway I have an idea for an OU team around mega charizard X. The idea for this team came from a team that I utilized and continue to utilize at the battlespot as well as the battle maison.
(Charizard)@Charizardite-x
Ability: Tough claws
Adamant
252 atk/252 spe/4 hp
-dragon dance
-earthquake
-flare blitz
-dragon claw
its a standard set for charizard -x, it seems to work very well. I'm thinking about going for a bulkier set, let me know what you think!
(Scizor)@choice band
Ability: Technician
Adamant
248 hp/252 atk/8 spd
-bullet punch
-superpower
-u-turn
-pursuit
A standard band scizor set. I think it works well with charizard-x because of its natural bulk and its resistances to dragon type attacks. this set also checks threats that oppose X such as latios/latias and tyranitar, as well as other rock and dragon type pokemon. X is able to resit fire type attacks that give scizor trouble. Sciozr is also a great way to check gengar using pursuit.
(Sylveon)@leftovers
Ability: pixilate
Bold
252 hp/252 def/ 4 spd
-hyper voice
-wish
-heal bell
-protect
I decided to run a cleric set. I used this set to cure status problems of teammates and to heal. Sylveon works well due to its ability and typing. it is another good check to dragons, and it also has good synergy with both scizor and x as scizor is able to counter opposing poison types, while x takes care of steel types/ and poison types with earthquake. Sylveon also serves as the teams special tank.
(Starmie)@leftovers
Ability: analytic
Timid
4 hp/ 252 spA/252 spe
-hydro pump
-ice beam
-rapid spin
-psychock
I needed a spinner/ defogger for this team, I chose starmie because of its typing. Excadril was naothe rotpion that I though of but I chose starmie because I feel like it will fit better on this team , as I already have 2 physical sweepers. Starmie is also the special sweeper for this team. My only concern about starmie is tht it is a glass cannon.
(Amoonguss)@Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
Bold
-Spore
-Giga drain
-Toxic
-Foul Play
252 hp/160 def/ 96 spD
This is currently the bulky grass member of the team. Right now I am unsure of rather or not to replace this with ferrothorn, which is many ways is better; however its access to spore and foul play is great because it allows me to stop a dangerous threat in its tracks. Plus its regenerator ability is fantastic.
(Heatran)@Air Ballon
Ability: Flash Fire
Modest
252 hp/252 spA/ 4 spD
-Fire balst
-Earth power
-substitute
-stealth rocks
I needed a pokemon to set up hazards for the team, I had the most diffuclt time chosing which pokeon would best fit this role. Looking at the rest of my team I really didn't want to use skarmory for the fact that he is weak to fire and plus I don't have the resources to obtain a skarmory that knows defog, which is the only reason for me to run him as I could replace starmie with something else and find a replacement for Amoonguss. I ultimately chose heatran because he works well with Scizor and Amoonguss and is my best check to Charizard Y. As you can see this is not a standard heatran set, this set utilizes both the offense and defense of heatran. I'm thinking about changing the spread to 4 hp/252 spA/252 spe but I'm not sure if its worth losing the bulk for more speed sense he has a modest nature and speed base of 77. I do not have anyway to obtain a timid heatran at the moment so I will have to work with one that has a modest nature, please let me know what you think I should do about his spread.
Well that's the team I plan to use. please let me know what you think and feel free to suggest changes to the team. Right now my biggest concern are ground types as I have two pokemon weak to ground types and none resistant to them; however Starmie and Amonguss can both check ground types, especially starmie because of its speed
All help is greatly appreciated!
