Lugruf Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 So, I made this OU team a while ago and I've been playing with it but I would like if people with more knowledge would help me improve it as I'm not too good at teambuilding. It is supposed to be a quite offensive balanced team. So, here it goes: Copy-paste data Release the kraken (Pinsir) @ Pinsirite Ability: Hyper Cutter EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Return - Quick Attack - Close Combat - Swords Dance Bane of Excadril (Landorus-Therian) @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature IVs: 30 Spe - Earthquake - U-turn - Knock Off - Stealth Rock One punch bunny (Azumarill) @ Choice Band Ability: Huge Power EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe Adamant Nature - Aqua Jet - Waterfall - Play Rough - Superpower Burning for you (Heatran) @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Magma Storm - Earth Power - Taunt - Toxic Imagine dragons (Latias) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Draco Meteor - Psyshock - Defog - Healing Wish Pain in the ass (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hydro Pump - Volt Switch - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split Some info about the team: Mega Pinsir: Release the kraken (Pinsir) @ Pinsirite Ability: Hyper Cutter EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Return - Quick Attack - Close Combat - Swords Dance Mega Pinsir is basically the setup sweeper. Remove the checks, get a SD, OHKO everything. It works well. It also provides a pretty strong priority move in quick attack that lets it ravenge kill or force a switch to mons like Keldeo, Serperior or Mega Lopunny. Close Combat hits Heatran, Tyranitar, Ferrothorn... (basically most steel and rock types) so it provides nice cover. Hyper Cutter prevents it from losing attack by intimidate (Physically defensive Landorus is a frequent check). Physically defensive Landorus: Bane of Excadril (Landorus-Therian) @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature IVs: 30 Spe - Earthquake - U-turn - Knock Off - Stealth Rock Sets rocks, knocks off items, checks physical attackers and provides slow U-turn, as well as a quite strong check to several physical attackers. Pretty standard set. 30 IVs in speed so that I'm outsped by opposing Landorus when we both use U-turn. Choice band Azumarill: One punch bunny (Azumarill) @ Choice Band Ability: Huge Power EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe Adamant Nature - Aqua Jet - Waterfall - Play Rough - Superpower Basically priority and brute force wallbreaking. Reacheds 650 attack with a choice band so aqua jet hits very hard, OHKOs offensive mons when hits super effective and ravenge kills the rest if they are weakened. Superpower OHKOs Tyranitar and non-physically defensive Ferrothorn. Super effective STABs OHKO whatever. Stallbreaker Heatran: Burning for you (Heatran) @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Magma Storm - Earth Power - Taunt - Toxic This checks, traps and kills annoyers basically. Taunt to avoid hazards, status, seeds, recovery..., Magma storm traps pokemon so that they can't change, Earth power hits and OHKOs opposing Heatran, as well as rock and fire types that resist Magma storm and toxic deals tons of damage to trapped mons as they can't change. Latias: Imagine dragons (Latias) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Draco Meteor - Psyshock - Defog - Healing Wish Most standard set ever. Draco meteor and Psyshock with Life orb and 252 investment in special attack hit hard, defog removes hazards and healing wish provides support specially when Pinsir or Azumaril get burned. It's also the best thing you can do when facing a Pursuit trapper if you're lacking HP Fight. Specially defensive Rotom-Wash: Pain in the ass (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hydro Pump - Volt Switch - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split It's the standard Rotom-Wash set, but with investment in special defense instead of physical because the team already had enough physical bulk. Spreads burn, provides slow U-turn and basically annoys every living creature ever existed. Well, this is the team. Any suggestion you may have to improve it will be welcome.

Ironbound Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Innovative. I'd advise against knock off on Lando-T; run stone edge instead to hit birds and things better and reduce the pressure on Rotom. This is especially true since your Rotom is not PhysDef and so is not a very good check to birds on its own. Knock Off can be better on Azumarill over superpower, since heatran already exists to rid you of Ferrothorn. Being choice locked into superpower is also an idea I am not comfortable with. Trapper heatran is something I have not seen in a while. It may work, but I am not too sure. It definitely works admirably in checking fairies, though. Gengar is still an issue. Be careful with Volcanion and specs keldeo, you don't have any reliable switch-ins since your Latias didn't have Roost. HW is nice, but Roosy might be better since you have a status absorber for everything bar sleep already. Pinsir can use Feint instead of QA. weaker, but goes before other priorities like a tflame or a dnite apart from breaking protect. It may make some difference after an SD.

Xiri Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Remember that Mega Pinsir's ability changes to Aerialiate (I hope thats right), so once it has Mega Evolved, Landorus-T becomes a solid check. Personally, I like using Rocky Helmet Landorus over Leftovers because it punishes physical attackers upon switching. Also works when you are allowing the opposing Landorus to U-turn, like you said And Viri ninja'd me with the Stone Edge suggestion on Landorus and Knock Off on Azu goddamnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
