Hello, I'm new to pokemmo but not new to competitive battling, although the last gen I played competitively was 4th Gen lol.
Basically I built my team around bulky Gyarados, I tried to compliment its weaknesses with other pokemons. I also noticed a weakness to Venusaur and need advice on which pokemon to add to my team to counter it. I don't have a Rapid Spinner, because half of my team is immune to Spikes and I can easily deal with Spikers.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: ?? HP / ?? ATT / ?? SPD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Dragon Dance
The core of the team, Taunt lets me set up on Skarmory and some other phazers. What I need help with is the best EV spread, as I don't know what I need to outspeed in pokemmo OU tier.
Flygon @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 ATT / 252 SPD
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch / Firepunch
- Crunch
Fairly easy to switch in because of immunities to Electric and Ground moves, compliments Gyarados by being able to damage some common physical tanks.
Metagross @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 ATT / 4 SPD
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch
- Pursuit
Acts like sort of a tank, hits hard while being able to take some hits, Gyarados resists both of its weaknesses as well so Gyara can switch in fairly easily after Metagross. Also Pursuit as the only reliable Gengar-killing move in my entire team ;_;
Gengar @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SP.ATT / 252 SPD
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Giga Drain
- Hypnosis
My team lacked a special attacker so I threw Gengar in it, three immunities make it easy to switch in, also Hypnosis lets me put someone to sleep, although not very reliably, it's more of a backup move.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPD
Bold Nature
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
- Aromatherapy
Standard Cleric Blissey, gets shat on by Gengar, so I needed something to kill it, Pursuit on Metagross is one option but suggestions are appreciated.

Last team member, something that lets me counter threats like Venusaur and Heracross.
Help is much needed and appreciated!
EDIT: Actually I can somehow deal with Venusaur (and Forretress) if I use Firepunch instead of Thunderpunch on Flygon.
