I've been trying to build a new Gen V OU singles team with some of the allstars from my old teams. I have 4 members so far and I have two spots left to fill with some other Pokemon.
I'm thinking maybe some kind of bulky water type but I don't know I'm kind of stuck on what I should try.
Please keep in mind that I'm building this in White2 so everything has to be 100% legit and accessible to the games
TEAM SO FAR:
![[PokeCommunity.com] Help finish my team! [PokeCommunity.com] Help finish my team!](https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/anim/normal/lucario.gif)
Lucario (m) @Choice Specs
Trait: Steadfast
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Aura Sphere
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
My specially offensive Lucario. I find it to be so helpful when my opponent assumes he is a regular physical lucario, especially considering how typical all my other team members are. Psychic and Shadow Ball have saved my life more times than I can remember when someone switches in to a Psychic or slow fighting type Pokemon. Hidden Power removes a lot of threat from dragons and is extra coverage over Dragon Pulse.

Scizor (m) @Life Orb
Trait: Technician
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- U-Turn
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
Pretty standard U-Turn Technician Scizor. I gave him Aerial ace to take advantage of Technician and U-Turn over Bug Bite for easy switching.
Superpower now replaces Aerial Ace as PlatinumDude has recommended to take care of Heatran on switching.

Salamence (m) @Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Aqua Tail
- Earthquake
I think this exact Salamence set is on Smogon, he is my late game sweeper. Cleans up with Outrage and the Scarf lets me outspeed other dragons including Garchomp.

Gliscor (m) @Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
Impish Nature (+Def, - SpA)
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Def / 204 Spe
- Protect
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Substitute
Standard Toxic stall set. I like using him because my friends get severely frustrated when they can't do anything to me. He carries Earthquake in case I get taunted and/or if Salamence is out prematurely.
What do you guys think? I need two more members to wrap up this team, I find I have good synergy between Scizor, Lucario and Salamence usually although I do have a few obvious weaknesses to exploit, like fire and ice.
