1. Skarmory@Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EV: 252 Def/HP
1. Drill Peck
2. Spikes
3. Roost
4. Whirlwind

Standard Skarmory.Drill Peck says hi to Heracross. Of course I know Close Combat can 2HKO it, so I won't switch in Skarm vs Hera anyway, unless it's gonna use EQ/Megahorn.

2. Claydol@Leftovers
Nature: Calm
EV: 252 HP/Sp Def
1. Rapid Spin
2. Earth Power
3. Stealth Rock
4. Psychic

Rapid Spinner. Lays down SR and Earth Power/Psychic as attacks.

3. Weavile@Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
EV: 252 Attack/Speed
1. Night Slash
2. Pursuit
3. Ice Punch
4. Brick Break

Standard Weavile. I don't want to use the Focus Sash SD set, because I just don't like it.

4. Infernape@Focus Sash
Nature: Naive
EV: 252 Speed/200 Sp Attack/52 Attack
1. Nasty Plot
2. Flamethrower
3. Grass Knot
4. Close Combat

Standard MixedApe. Deals with SkarmBliss.

5. Swalot (female)@Black Sludge
Nature: Bold
EV: 252 HP/140 Def/116 Sp Def
1. Substitute
2. Stockpile
3. Toxic
4. Attract

Annoyer. Sub, then Stockpile like crazy. Toxic to kill em slowly and Attract for annoying.

Nature: Modest
EV: 64 HP/252 Sp Attack/158 Sp Def/36 Speed
1. Thunder Wave
2. Thunderbolt
3. Surf

ZOMG my team has problems with Gyarados? Well, not anymore. Thunderwave up on anything, T-Bolt/Surf=STAB and Ice Beam for Dragons.

I believe Donphan is a better choice over Claydol.

 

[mustbe18toryde]

Yeah but I'm trying to restrict on OU's here. Besides, Claydol is used a s a Sp Wall on my team.

 

[Faceless*]

I believe Donphan is a better choice over Claydol.

Not always Penguin, I even take Claydol over Donphan because of Sp. Def matters

You really need some sort of offense move on Swalot over Attract. or else any steel type (Steelix, Metagross, Skarmory, Foretress, etc.) will come in and laugh at you. Unfortunatly his base attack stats are only around 70 and he doesn't learn any fire type move...

I highly suggest Pain Split for more annoyance (and more substitutes!) or Destiny Bond, should you give him speed supporting.


I like your team, as it isn't 100% standard OU trash. Lanturn as a nice BoltBeam counter and Infernape for SkarmBliss. Can't really see any oubvious OU weakness right away, nicely done.

EDIT: You may also want to replace Swalot with Cradily. His base defenses and attacks are higher than Swalot's and he can learn the exact same moves. It also learns Mirror Coat, I think which can surprise OHKO an unsuspecting poke.

Since 4th generation it ups both Defense and Special Defense one level. If you use swallow/spit up, you'll lose this effect. If you don't have those moves, Stockpile is just a nifty way to raise defense.
