  • Happy Friday everyone! I'm looking for some input on my current team. One issue that I'm facing is that both my Heatran and Excadrill both run Stealth Rock. Personally, I HATE having Pokémon with the same moves but I don't know whether Excadrill or Heatran should drop Stealth Rock. Here are their current move sets:

    Heatran (Leftovers)
    Calm 252 HP / 252 SP. DEF / 4 HP
    - Flamethrower
    - Stealth Rock
    - Toxic
    - Roar

    Excadrill (Air Balloon)
    Adamant 252 ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 DEF
    - Stealth Rock
    - Earthquake
    - Iron Head
    - Rock Slide

    If this help with your suggestions, the other 4 members of my team are Charizard X, Substitute + Baton Pass Leafeon, Prankster Sableye, and Choice Scarf Rotom-W.

  • Full move sets for each member is appreciated.

    Lava Plume is the preferred option on Heatran for the higher burn chance.

    Charizard is vulnerable to Stealth Rock, so give Excadrill Rapid Spin over Stealth Rock. It should look like this:
    -Earthquake
    -Iron Head/Rock Slide
    -Rapid Spin
    -Swords Dance/Rock Slide
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Air Balloon/Leftovers
    Ability: Mold Breaker

    Preferred movesets for each Pokemon:

    Charizard:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -Dragon Claw/Outrage
    -Earthquake/Roost
    Nature: Jolly/Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze

    or
    -Fire Punch
    -Dragon Claw
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Roost
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 248 HP/84 Def/176 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze

    Leafeon is outclassed by a lot of things in OU, particularly SubPassing. I think Scolipede fits the bill better:
    -Substitute
    -Baton Pass
    -Protect/Megahorn
    -Swords Dance
    Nature: Timid/Jolly
    EVs: 248 HP/208 SDef/52 Spe
    Item: Mental Herb/Black Sludge
    Ability: Speed Boost

    Sableye:
    -Taunt
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Recover
    -Night Shade/Foul Play/Knock Off
    Nature: Calm/Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Prankster

    Wash Rotom:
    -Volt Switch
    -Hydro Pump
    -Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Ice)
    -Trick
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    Both Excadrill and Heatran are good Stealth Rock setters, so which one you wanna have as the Stealth Rocker is up to you. But I think it would be best to give Excadrill Rapid Spin to clear off hazards.
