My Main OU Team RMT

After much persuasion (points at nica), i have decided to post an rmt. i am a decent battler, but i want to get advice from the experts.

My team:
Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Growth
- Sleep Powder
- Seed Bomb
- Earthquake

i needed a grass type, and venu's great stats seemed to be of great use on my team. however, as of late, he cant seem to stand his ground. not sure if i should get rid of him, or if i should give him a different moveset.


Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Taunt

the usual gliscor set. i dont see having to get rid of him, but i might if it calls for it.


Shelly (Cloyster) (F) @ White Herb
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 48 HP / 252 Atk / 208 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Razor Shell

saw someone use this against me, havent got rid of her since. gotten me out of A LOT (and i mean A LOT) of tight spots.


Volcarona (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Substitute

good special attacker but, like venu, might not be a good one for my team. open to suggestions here.


Heracross (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Megahorn
- Close Combat
- Night Slash
- Stone Edge

after seeing this, i had to put him. i have been able to outspeed many pokes that would usually sweep me easily. was able to get a crit megahorn and took down dragonite at half health.


Nega-Wisp (Hydreigon) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast

another good special attacker, might switch if need be. not much to say here.

i want to make a balanced sweeper team, so im open to any suggestions.

Venusaur should be used in sunlight; it's a rather average Pokemon without it. How about Jirachi? It can run a bunch of different sets to support the team, but this is the most recommended one:
-Iron Head
-Wish
-Body Slam/Thunder Wave
-Fire Punch/Stealth Rock/Protect
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP/224 SDef/32 Spe
Item: Leftovers

O.o
So many set-up sweepers.. It almost looks like a mixed hyper offense.. Just in case you do want to make it a full HO team, I'll just throw out the following:

Azelf @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Taunt
- Stealth Rocks

If you want a quick screener, Azelf is amazing. Screens are self explanatory. Taunt slower Pokes who you think will try to set up hazards/set up in general on you. Stealth Rocks if you can for hazard damage, which is greatly appreciated, because in the case you don't get that extra boost, the extra damage could win or lose the game.

Strong team ,bar Venusaur in my opinion Venusuar is pointless unless run in Sunny day teams.
