My OU team 2

my team at a glance

well i think this team is pretty solid but i would really like to hear your opinions on it :)
also i think this team is weak to rain boosted thunders (especially is scarfed) and earthquakes ...would like suggestion for help on that.


Terrakion

Terrakion @ Focus Sash
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Taunt

i tried rhyperior as lead when i first made this team , but there were a lot of shortcomings. this is a very powerful lead and helps to stop the opponent from setting up hazards using taunt , terrakion offensive typing is just amazing but , since i wanted a good lead i kept the choice band in the drawers . this set of terrakion is mainly for helpng the team as a whole by setting up rocks.also Terrakion can beat a common spinner Forretress , as well as Espeon and Xatu which reflect Stealth Rock and Taunt with magic bounce. so ideally i think this is perfect

Jirachi

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 16 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252Spd
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Fire Punch
- ThunderPunch/ice punch
- Iron Head

i had tech breloom here before jirachi but i found jirachi is much more satisfying in ever way possible. its an amazing physical sweeper . the reason i put in thunder punch is because otherwise my team doesn't have a elec move :O

Jellicent

Jellicent @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 36 SAtk / 220 SDef
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd
- Surf
- Shadow Ball
- Toxic
- Recover

well i don't know what to say about this guy , it's a good switch against water types and the shadow ball also gives stab . toxic and recover help to a certain extent for stalling .

Scizor

Scizor @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit

well i had a LO scizor before this but i needed more power so a choice banded technician scizor :O it does not get better than this :D

Dragonite

Dragonite (F) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch

one or two dragon dance can sweep almost any team with outrage and lum berry helps you with that , the fire punch is for the likes of ferrothorn , which otherwise is a threat . i can't find any fault in this one :) this is a amazing and a very powerful threat to any team .

Heatran

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Flamethrower


i had a latias in as a calm mind user before heatran but my team needed a good fire user , but ever since the inclusion of heatran the team grew even more weak to earthquakes , now i thought of putting in a air balloon but those aren't effective after sometime in the battle , hence i put in a scarf to try and take out a mon early before it does any serious damage to the team


well that's my team and i think its pretty awesome .but i will be happy to listen on what you guys have to say about it :)

Honestly, why don't you just max out on Attack and Speed on Jirachi and Dragonite? What Speed benchmarks are they aiming for?

Explosion isn't as useful in Gen V because it no longer halves Defense before it hits, so replace Heatran's Explosion with Flamethrower for a more reliable Fire STAB..
