MrL4g Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I'm going to try to enter the competitive OU scene with this team I just came up with. I picked these Pokemon based on their type synergies and abilities. What I know right now: This team is 3x weak to ground and fire type moves. These are the current threats that I know of right now: Milotic Blaziken Specs Slowbro Skarmory (Taunt) Spoiler Skarmory @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 164 SpD / 92 Spe Careful Nature - Taunt - Spikes - Whirlwind - Counter It's my main hazard setter. A little bit of speed investment for those other base 70 speed mons. Metagross (AgiliGross) Spoiler Metagross @ Life Orb Ability: Clear Body EVs: 60 HP / 252 Atk / 196 Spe Jolly Nature (To outspeed Scarf Flygon) - Agility - Meteor Mash - Earthquake - Thunder Punch My sweeper of choice. It seems to be a top-tier threat here. Jolly nature is for those pesky revenge killers like Flygon. Arcanine (Physically Defensive) Spoiler Arcanine @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD Careful Nature - Crunch - Extreme Speed - Toxic - Morning Sun Walls Blaziken like a champ, which is one of the biggest threats against this team. I really wish Flare Blitz existed here in this game. Magneton (Steel Trapper) Spoiler Magneton @ Leftovers Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 68 HP / 252 SpA / 188 Spe Modest Nature - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power Fire - Substitute - Thunder Wave Skarmory's a problem to deal with this team actually. I mean, Arcanine doesn't even have a STAB move. Flygon (Revenge Killer) Spoiler Flygon @ Swift CB Ability: Levitate EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Superpower - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Crunch This is my revenge killer and scout. It's a great switch-in too. Slowbro (Bulky Special Sweeper) Spoiler Slowbro @ Choice Specs Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA Modest Nature - Surf - Psychic - Trick - Fire Blast Trick is for crippling walls like Chansey. I'm not too sure about Milotic though. I might need tips for dealing with that. There are some Pokemon which I would like to fit into this team, but I'm not entirely sure how: Swampert (Defensive Pivot) Spoiler Swampert @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpD Relaxed Nature - Superpower - Earthquake - Ice Beam - Roar Good chunk of bulk. He can be a good attacking lead too with all that coverage. Starmie (Offensive Sweeper) Spoiler Starmie @ Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Surf - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam - Recover/Psychic/Trick BoltBeam and good STAB moves. It can also learn Trick! More suggestions would be gladly appreciated. Thank you for your time. I hope I can get some helpful information from you guys! Edited May 16, 2017 by MrL4g Link to comment
Mnemosyne Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I would go Forretress in stead of Skarmory because of the fact you dont have a spinner in this team. Could also go Rapid Spin - Recover - Psy - Surf Starmie. Arcanine needs a stab, go relaxed 252 hp 252 def with flamet in stead of Crunch. Also make sure to use a Sp Def wall like Porygon2 of Chansey.

I'm gonna consider Forretress Spoiler Forretress @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 112 Atk / 144 Def Relaxed Nature - Spikes - Rapid Spin - Counter - Earthquake (Pesky Magnezones) Which Pokemon do you think I should replace for Porygon2 though?

I would want to put Gyroball on it in the future though. Pin missile sounds good but it's kind of unreliable. I might just consider Toxic. HP fire sounds a bit situational, but I think it's good. 0 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Fire vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Forretress: 176-208 (49.7 - 58.7%) -- 67.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Doesn't do much to Skarmory though. 0 SpA Forretress Hidden Power Fire vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 78-92 (23.3 - 27.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery Link to comment
Maelstrom Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Why careful nature on arcanine? I would go relaxed, flamethrower instead of crunch and would replace magneton with umbreon/porygon2/chansey because you lack a spwall. I also would replace your flygon's crunch with thunderpunch or firepunch. Link to comment
Barrage Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Personally I think you should add Machamp to your comp because you don't have any cute waifu humanoid pokemon in your lineup. Machamp is like your best bro that you wished you got to know better in college but was too busy pumping iron to acknowledge your existence. And then years later he shows up at your house asking for money and you have to turn him away because you have a wife and kids to support and he looks like he's been into the drugs. Don't do drugs. Play Machamp. MrL4g, Draekyn, Chjul19 and 6 others 9 Link to comment

I will consider using it over Magneton. 1 hour ago, KoolT93 said: Skarm cant touch you either only ww, 1v1 you win.
