    so here goes ....
    JadeX OU Competitive Team.

    JadeX's OU Team [NEED HELP]


    Infernape(M) @ Focus Sash
    Rash Nature
    Naive
    192 Speed , 252 SP.Atk , 64 ATK
    -Fake Out
    -Flame Thrower
    -Close Combat
    -Stealth Rock

    Standard Lead and in fact , I think it works better than Azelf Lead due to it's fake out and STAB Flame Thrower and Close combat .
    It's fast , and often able to kill off common leads (maybe other than Swampert or those anti-leads Pokemon)
    Might save it later for STABBED Blazed Flame thrower ( that's where Starmie comes in to blow away Stealth Rock before his appearance ) .

    Zapdos @ Choice Scarf
    Rash Nature
    Pressure
    252 Sp.Atk , 252 Speed , 4 Atk
    -Thunderbolt
    -Heat Wave
    -Hidden Power [ICE]
    -U-Turn

    Either switch in to take attack , counter with Fire,Ice , Thunder (for Set up pokemon like DD Salamence , Agility Gross , DD Gyrados ) or U-Turn scout .

    JadeX's OU Team [NEED HELP]


    Salamence (M)@ Life Orb
    Naughty Nature
    Intimidate
    232 Atk , 252 Speed , 24 Sp.Atk
    -Dragon Dance
    -Outrage
    -Fire Blast
    -Earthquake

    Typical Dragon Dance and then physical sweep with Outrage .
    A heavy sweeper , however it has a short life after doing an Outrage ( A confused Salamence is really like a Gamble , if it hits itself , I'm dead)
    Salamence is sort of the biggest boss in my team .

    Lucario (M)@ Life Orb
    Jolly Nature
    Inner Focus
    252 Atk , 252 Speed , 4 HP
    -Sword Dance
    -Extreme Speed
    -Close Combat
    -Ice Punch

    Lucario serves as a late game sweeper with Extreme Speed as well as a counter against Prior moves user ( mostly Honchkrow with Sucker Punch or Scizor/Metagross with Bullet punch though Extreme speed doesn't deals much damage to them )
    Close Combat is it's main attack and Ice Punch deals with Ground/Flying/Dragon .
    When boosted with Sword Dance , Lucario had proven itself a very dangerous pokemon .
    Inner Focus prevents Flinch ( because I think Lucario is fast enough and preventing Flinch is more important )
    Jolly to outspeed more pokemon as most people thinks that Lucario runs in Adamant .

    Starmie @ Life Orb
    Timid Nature
    Natural Cure
    6 HP / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed
    -Surf
    -Thunderbolt
    -Ice Beam
    -Rapid Spin

    Used to play a Bulky Spinner Version , though durable but the offense is pretty low , so I went for a offensive build . Anyway , Grass Knot over Ice beam to take down Pokemon that walls this set ( Like Swampert ) . Was thinking of running a 216 speed and increase the HP to 42 EVs . Would it be better ?

    Togekiss @ Life Orb
    Calm Nature
    Serence Grace
    252 HP / 252 Sp.def / 4 speed
    -Thunder Wave
    -Air Slash
    -Aura Sphere
    -Roost

    Pretty standard Flinch Togekiss which have proven itself very reliable in this team . It heals , paralyse and flinches . Aura Sphere is there just to kill Tyranitar or any other pokemon that resist Air Slash .

  • I wouldn't bother giving Lucario Ice Punch, almost all Gliscor run 216 Spe with a Jolly nature specifically to outrun Jolly Lucario, and every dragon except for Adamant BandGon and Dragonite will outspeed you anyway, so its not really worth it imo. I would run Crunch so you can take out Rotom-A/Gengar/Dusknior.

    Give Zapdos a Modest or Timid nature, its defenses are too good to take away from, and U-Turn isn't even used for doing damage on stuff really.

    I'm not crazy about LO Rapid Spin on Starmie (sacrificing 10% for 2% just seems bad to me) but lots of people do it, so it must be a worthwhile endeavor.

    You lose to anything with Draco Meteor or Outrage, Lucario isnt bulky enough to take those sorts of hits. Get a better steel over the rather useless Togekiss.
