Shoddy Main team
Azelf @ Focus Sash Naive
Evs: 252 speed, 252 spa and 4 Att Levitate -Explosion -Fire Blast -Psychic -Stealth Rock Steelix @ Leftovers Impish Evs: 252 def 252 attack and 6 hp Sturdy -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Roar -Explosion Earthquake for STAB. Roar because since Azelf will have a stealth rock on, roaring will make the ennemy get hit by the stealth rock. Explosion is when Steelix is low hp. Stone Edge for flying dragons. Electivire @ Expert Belt Mild Evs: 76 attack, 252 speed and 182 spa Motordrive -Cross Chop -Flamethrower -HP Ice -Thunderbolt He's actually kinda a mix sweeper. Flamethrower works well against grass types. Gengar @ Wide Lens Timid Evs: 6hp, 252 speed and 252 Spa Levitate -Hypnosis -Focus Blast -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt Don't what to say bout him :P. Heracross @ Expert Belt Jolly Evs: 104 HP / 252 Att / 152 Speed Guts -Close Combat -Earthquake -Megahorn -Stone Edge Changed to expert belt, again i said that i will not use a choice band, hate these things. I put Jolly because he still has 349 attack without adamant and might need to go faster than other pkm sometimes... Blissey @ Leftovers Calm Evs: 252 Def / 80 Sp Att / 176 Sp Def Natural Cure -Aromatherapy -Seismic Toss -Softboiled -Thunderwave The overused pkm with an overused set :P. Note: I edited the team, changes i made from the original team are in bold. I think that's it... |

No Dragon Dance Gyra/Salamence/Tyranitar counter is going to hurt you badly. This can be solved by putting a choice scarf on Gengar, but when he's gone your team is very easy to sweep. SD Luke will also cause problems. I'd swap something out that can take a good physical hit or two, because right now you have no physical walling abilities at all. There are many options out there...and a lot of things could work. I'd say it's a fair team, but needs a bit of work. |
Thank you for all the changes you can made for the team!!! I put leftovers on because i suck at choosing good items to put on lol. Actually, my team is owning lucarios :P. I didn't put a choice band on Hera because... well... for 2 reasons: 1. I hate not being able to choose more than 1 move without switching him and also because Megahorn is my only super effective attack on a psychic and is not good on most types, if i'm alone with him and have to kill half a team (it already happenned to me and i did it :), i bet most of them can resist or do normal damage with megahorn. What about expert belt? Also i've switched gyarados with Hitmonchan. Here's the moveset:
Hitmonchan @ Expert Belt Evs: 252 attack, 252 speed and 6 hp Iron fist -Mach Punch -Fire Punch -Ice Punch -Thunderpunch It is actually a set someone i fought told me, he told me it is very effective and i guess he's right since it covers a big bundle of types, mach punch is for fast pkm. Also i can use a Steelix for a wall: Steelix @ Leftovers (dunno what to give him :P) Evs: 252 def 252 attack and 6 hp Sturdy -Earthquake -Gyro Ball -Roar -Explosion Earthquake and Gyro Ball for STAB. Roar because since Azelf will have a stealth rock on, roaring will make the ennemy get hit by the stealth rock. Explosion is when Steelix is low hp. And for the rest, i made these changes: Azelf @ Focus Sash Naive Evs: 252 speed, 252 spa and 4 Att Levitate -Explosion -Fire Blast -Psychic -Stealth Rock Gave him what you said. Electivire @ Expert Belt Mild Evs: 76 attack, 252 speed and 182 spa Motordrive -Cross Chop -Flamethrower -HP Ice -Thunderbolt I did like you said :P Gengar @ Life Orb/Wide Lens Timid Evs: 6hp, 252 speed and 252 Spa Levitate -Hypnosis -Psychic -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt Psychic is for fighthing types (i faced a hitmonlee that owned my gengar once) Heracross @ Expert Belt Adamant Evs: 104 HP / 252 Att / 152 Speed Guts -Close Combat -Earthquake -Megahorn -Stone Edge Changed to expert belt, again i said that i will not use a choice band, hate these things. I actually put a pursuit on hera and noticed that i only used it on rare occasions. Blissey @ Leftovers Calm Evs: 252 Def / 80 Sp Att / 176 Sp Def Natural Cure -Aromatherapy -Ice Beam -Softboiled - Thunderwave Switched like you did, in my mind, thunderwave is more profitable than toxic (if a fast sweeper gets paralysed, it almost gets useless :P) |
If you're going to consider the possibility of Steelix in OU... It wants a Impish Nature, 252 HP/ 120 Atk and 136 Spd. Base 200 Def is like Blisseys sp. def., so no def evs are needed. Instead of Gyro Ball, go with Stone Edge to hit the ever-annoying flying dragons.
IMO Gyarados should have stayed, can draw some T-BOlts that start up Motor Drive for E-Vire. Psychic isn't so great intoday's metagame on either Zelf or Gar. Either go with Hp Fighting or Taunt>> it on Azelf, and give Gengar Focus Blast. I prefer that you scarf Gengar, and with Hypnosis' 60 percent acc nowadays, go with HP Ice>> Hypnosis. Choice Items actually do pretty well in today's metagame. |

If you don't want Choice Band on that Hera, use Life Orb since it makes you do more than Expert Belt's 20% boost. Your E-Vire isn't going to use its ability to its full potiental because A. There's 1 other immunity to Electric-type attacks and B. There are no Pokemon on your team weak to Electric anyway. Keep Hitmonchan if you want, but put something like Gyarados in there if you want some healthy Spe boosts to your E-Vire. Just a suggestion. =p |
I'm sorry, are you having 7 pokemon on your team?? Please make it clear which one's you are using as it confuses me.
Thanks |
If you put Naive on Azelf over Timid, its decent base 125 Atk won't be squandered.
I certainly would run Dragon Dance over Ice Fang on Gyarados. Stone Edge already gives you excellent damage against most flyers, and Ice Fang is a bit of a wasted moveslot if you have it just to deal with Celebi. Definitely run max Def on Blissey. Otherwise it will die to even weak physical hits. Maximising its defence effectively doubles its physical durability because of its pitiful base. I'd recommend a spread of 176HP, 252 Def, 80 SpD with a Calm nature. Also, I'd suggest dropping either Thunder Wave, Aromatherapy or Ice Beam. So many support/ weakness-prying attacks make it rather ineffective against many of its switch ins. I'd personally drop Aromatherapy or Thunderwave, either one will do, for Seismic Toss. Otherwise a CM Raikou will rip your team to shreds. Gengar is being your primary revenge killer here, so I recommend you change Leftovers for Choice Scarf, and go from Timid to Mild. |

The team was a LOT of 252 sets, with major Lefties abuse. Sure LO takes some damage into account, but when you realize that it helps in a lot of situations its helpful. Loads of teams need status, and support for synergy which helps a team flow. Revenge killers are always nifty, as things like Weavile can get a Free OHKO on said Gengar/Azelf and ruin your fun. Remember Comments in bold. |
Stricken and Legacy Raider -> Thats my team without the modifications, i forgot to change the first post...
Sc4rfCh0mp and Legacy Raider -> I got rid of Gyarados because he didn't do much when i battled and also i needed a physical wall. Thanks for all comment on my team! I changed pretty much everything you said. Few exceptions :P. Please comment my team if you think i should change something. |

This, however, leaves you with no rock resist (Hera takes neutral from Stone Edge), meaning that a DDTar can tear through this. This is why you need to Scarf Gengar, so it can outspeed Tar even after 2 DD's and OHKO with Focus Blast. |
