Physical HO team help?!

i like playing agressive, and this seemed perfect. however, i cannot seem to set up my team right. that, or i just cant seem to synergize enough.


Azelf @ Light Clay
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Taunt
my dual-screener, not much to say


AuraKnight (Lucario) (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Ice Punch
- Swords Dance

seems to be useful under screens


Haxorz (Haxorus) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Brick Break


big heavy hitter, especially w/ screens up

Terra (Terrakion) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

not sure of him, thinking of replacing

Gary Oak (Garchomp) (M) @ Yache Berry
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs:
Hardy Nature
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang

EDIT: forgot gar is uber, so need a viable OU replacement for him

Alamos (Latios) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
- Recover

i am thinking this dude was a bad idea, found it on smogon, REALLY want to change it.

any help is appreciated!!

For Haxorus, use 220 Speed EVs to outspeed most Pokemon not holding a Choice Scarf, then the last 36 in HP.

If you want a very reliable insurance option, Mamoswine or Weavile could be solid ideas, though both have some trouble fitting in on HO teams. SD Weavile might not be a bad idea though. It's faster than just about anything and is a good specialist.

More than anything, I would put in Salamence with Intimidate or just something to sure of the defenses a little. If you can't take the momentum right away (maybe because of a priority Taunt or something) you're in a world of trouble. I definitely like Nica's Scizor suggestion. I was going to reply earlier and forgot what I was gonna say, blah. I might mention something on the server.

But yeah Garchomp is prolly a no-go! ;p

Click to expand...

haxorus is really frail anyway, so just max the speed

that HP wont do you anygood, and outspeeding things is always a plus.

It is going to dance so a bit of survival won't hurt. If it dances once, it can outspeed almost everything un-scarfed.

Instead of Latios, why not try CM Latias? It's bulky enough and can throw back strong attacks. Dual Screens should be maximized or else your team would get down easily by being walled. Sucker punchers can deal with Azelf or something that is scarf'ed. You may need a Utility Pokemon that can heal your damaged attackers, and also a Special Attacker (if you want to discard Latios) for very Defensive Pokemons like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Gliscor, and many other.

is this some kinda hyper offensive team?
lucario needs crunch > ice beam, or else jellycent, tentacruel, any bulky psychic types will wall you for days.

instead of chomp you can get rotom-w
deals with gliscor, anything lucario cant handle without icebeam. your team pretty much stomps ferrothorn

so the move set i suggest

rotom-w @ choice scarf
timid
EVs 4 HP / 252 SpAtt / 252 Spe
-volt switch
-trick/thunder/thunderbolt (usually people go with trick, but thunder is good with all those rainstall team going around)
-hp [ice]
-hydro pump

specially offensive T-Tar will also boosts the def of terrikion

Swords Dance and Lum Berry on Haxorus > Brick Break and LO. Dual Dance Haxorus is by far its best and most deadly and can actually break walls and its counters and checks, SD Outrage 2HKO's Skarmory and the Lum Berry lets you beat T-Wave Ferrothorn etc. Whilst DD lets you shred offensive teams.

Dragonite > Garchomp. Under Screens with Multi Scale it pretty much wins game. Lum Berry max att/ max speed Fire Punch / DD / Outrage / ES as this team cannot take status for squat.

As for the other suggestions, Choice users suck on HO as they gift other pokemon a free set up and on a team as frail as HO you cannot afford to do. Likewise with walls and tanks.

Plus you should really attack from one side of the spectrum to pound away on the same counter till it breaks and as thus opens up a hole in the opposing team. Skarmory and Ferro are not problems when they both get 2hko'd by everything on this team.
