Team Kanto (OU)

[Divine~Deoxys]

Ok, so this is kinda a themed team, in that it's Gen.1 pokes only. I reckon it's fairly balanced, but i bet there's a number of problems reaching triple digits.

Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Leftovers
4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Taunt
Stealth Rock
Ice Fang
Earthquake


Taunt before they put up rocks/spikes, stealth rock, then either i'm dead or i attack. At least that's the idea. Or i can just attack outright.

Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Calm
Liquid Ooze
252 Hp / 120 Def / 136 SpD
Toxic Spikes
Surf
Sludge Bomb
Rapid Spin

This is great support. I can come in, spin their rocks/spikes away, set up toxic spikes, but this can also do some damage. grass types are pretty much screwed over with Sludge Bomb, and they can't absorb liquid ooze.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Timid
4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Thunderbolt
HP Grass
Heat Wave
Roost

This thing can take car of the likes of Swampert and other Water/Ground types, aswell as others. Can also get rid of Gyara and Electric-weak pokes. Heat Wave gets rid of steel-types aswell.

Flareon @ Choice Band
Adamant
76 Hp / 252 Atk / 180 Spe
Fire Fang
Superpower
Bite
Return

I know Arcanine is superior, but personally i love this guy.

Gengar @ Expert Belt
Timid
252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
HP Fire
Focus Blast

I still think Gengar is one of the best special sweepers out there, up with Zapdos.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Adamant
No Guard
25 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Stone Edge
Sleep Talk
Rest
Dynamicpunch


I just figured, with no guard, dynamicpunch is going to kill.

Ok, you are massively Salamence weak and Gyarados weak. Zapdos is a poor counter being dispatched easily by Stone Edge from Gyarados.

Also each time Salamence comes in you will have to sacrifice a pokemon thanks to you packing nothing to absorb Outrages/Draco Meteors. The only thing in kanto that can come in on draco's and what not is Magnezone (or Magneton :/) so you could make space for him, probably >> Zapdos or something. Which also lessens your SR weak and thus less need for Rapid Spin.

Then id maybe put something like Scarf Starmie >> Tentacruel to beat both DD Mence and DD Gyara.

Starmie @ Choice Scarf
252 SPEED / 252 SP.ATT / 6 HP
Modest Nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Trick

Arcanine >> Flareon, sure Flareon gets Superpower but Arcanine gets Extremespeed (your team is kinda slow so it helps keeping powerful sweepers in check) and Flare Blitz, so yeah.

Arcanine@Choice Band
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
Flash Fire (helps with tran)
- Flare Blitz
- Thunderfang
- Extremespeed
- Iron Head.

Also sub/protect >> t-bolt on Gar, helps with its Pursuit problem.

I also feel like a more offensive machamp is in check, since this team is offensive so a rest talker doesnt really fit in. Try sub champ, Sub/D-Punch/Payback/Stone Edge 216 hp / 252 att / 42 speed i think is the set @ leftovers.

There is only so much you can do with a team like this.

[Skip Shot]

If you're going to run Leftovers on Zapdos, add some more bulk to it. 252 HP/80 Def/ 176 Spe@ Timid is the set that I run. If you prefer to go more offensive, you can use a Life Orb or Expert Belt.

I'll come back later, since I'm really tired and have a long plane ride coming up.

[Sebastien Loeb]

Your team is very weak to Dragon Dance Gyarados and DDMence, I would advise to change the moveset of Zapdos this way:

Zapdos @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Spd / 184 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn

[Chaostorm]

Stone Edge >> Ice Fang , its kinda silly if you didnt use Aero's powerful STAB move =/

[Divine~Deoxys]

Ok, here's my edited team.

You team are a lot of weak to Stealth rock, I would advise to insert Rapid Spin to Starmie.

[Dark Azelf]

Scarf Zapdos is a waste and uneeded and highly Pursuit bait.

Also each time Salamence comes in you will have to sacrifice a pokemon thanks to you packing nothing to absorb Outrages/Draco Meteors. The only thing in kanto that can come in on draco's and what not is Magnezone (or Magneton :/) so you could make space for him, probably >> Zapdos or something. Which also lessens your SR weak and thus less need for Rapid Spin.

It also has the same resistances just about as Zappy and deals with Scizor better.

[Divine~Deoxys]

ok. do you have a set i should use??
