Rape...No...Rate my OU team

[Jimmyray]

Bronzong@Macho Brace
SASSY
252 HP / 84 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD
Trick/Hypnosis
Stealth Rock
Grass Knot
Earthquake/Explosion

Pretty reliable lead. I left Gyro Ball out because as a lead, I'd rather be able to dent the likes of Hippowdon, TTar. For Gyara leads, they will probably Taunt expecting me to set up SR or something, only to be hit by a Grass Knot XD

Azelf@Choice Specs
TIMID
252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP
Trick
Flamethrower
Psychic
Thunderbolt

Specs sweeper, used mainly for late game, but I will introduce it early if necessary. Has decent speed, and Trick is to ruin walls and tanks. No Grass Knot because it's already on 2 of my pokes.

Dusknoir@Leftovers
IMPISH
252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
Earthquake/Thunderpunch
Pain Split
Will-o-wisp
Shadow sneak

Physical Tank. Spin Blocker. Can somebody suggest whether to use TPunch or EQ? If I use EQ then DD Gyara is going to cause me a problem, and the only other poke with an electric move on my team (Azelf) is eaten by DD Gyara.

Empoleon@Petaya Berry
MODEST
12 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Agility
Substitute
Surf
Ice Beam

A nice little underrated (arguably) strategy which fits in quite nicely with my team. Unaffected by Toxic Spikes and SR and Spikes do minimum damage to it, so it's often a safe switch in, especially with it's meaty defence. Agility then Sub, get the boost and proceed to sweep. Anything which does not carry Vacuum Wave or Mach Punch is not going to kill it with a priority move. Tentacruel and Vaporeon concern me however.

Infernape@Life Orb
HASTY
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Grass Knot
Close Combat
Flamethrower
HP [Ice] 61

The unpredicatbility of MixApe is genius. I decided to go for this moveset as dragons often switch into it only to be creamed by HP Ice. Great coverage and outspeeds many things.

Salamence@Choice Scarf
NAUGHTY
252 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe
Hydro Pump
Outrage/Dragon Claw
Fire Blast
Earthquake

I'm not too sure wheter Scarfmence fits in too well with my team, but I'm gonna try him out because he is quite unpredictable and causes havoc to teams. Outspeeds almost anything and packs a punch.

Rate away XD

[Sebastien Loeb]

What trait does it have Bronzong? Do I recommend you of HeatProof not to give him, HeatproofBronzongLead he has absolutely become a predictable Pokémon, whether to use special Scarfmence? Better physical.

[Jimmyray]

Bronzong has Levitate XD

And why don't you think I should use MixMence?

I think he is refering to the mixed set with a Scarf. You lose a lot of power when you run a Scarf, so splitting your attacking spectrum further increases this power loss. I guess you're still running 252 Atk, but I think you can see what I mean.

You mean Fire Blast and Hydro Pump will be weaker?

[Malevolent Mismagius]

On your scarfmence, consider running Draco Meteor>>Outrage/Dragon Claw. mence is a hit and run pokemon so the drop in special attack doesn't hurt too much. If you were to run Draco Meteor then your spread would be 252 SAtk/80 Atk/176 Spe with a mild nature.

You have some problems with bulky waters, especially when Azelf is down so consider Grass Knot>>Ice Beam on subpetayaempoleon. The surprise value is nice because bulky waters are a common switch-in.

Consider a tanky meta>>your current dusknoir set. Noone uses Rapid Spin anymore anyway.

Metagross@Leftovers
adamant nature
204 HP/80 atk/224 def
Meteor Mash
Thunderpunch
Earthquake
Bullet Punch

Gyara is a common switch in that will wall you so Tpunch has good surprise value and kills the opponents gyara. You don't have any priority so BP can really help with agility sweepers/DDTar.

Just a few things to consider.

~OR

[Dark Azelf]

Umm, please Gyro Ball>>Grass or you are auto Mence/DD Tar weak. "Like Swampert/Hippow can do anything to your team when you put them to sleep". :/

252 HP / 68 ATT / 108 DEF / 82 SP.DEF @ Relaxed on Zong imo.

Helps with dd tar and mence more.


Specs Elf is Pursuit bait.

Psychic/Flamethrower or Fire Blast/HP Fight or U-Turn/Boom @Life orb imo.


Scarf Mence is also a really bad revenge killer.

[Jimmyray]

What if I replaced Scarfmence with Metagross and then changed Azelf to a Nasty Plot/Life Orb sweeper?
