NU Team (Help)

[dayne93]

Lairon
Item: Eviolite
Nature: Impish
Ability: Rock Head
252 HP/252 DEF/4 SP DEF
Moves: Stealth Rock, Head Smash, Toxic, Roar

Probopass
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Sturdy
252 HP/252 SP DEF/4 DEF
Moves: Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, Earth Power, Volt Switch

Absol
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adament
Ability: Super Luck
152 HP/252 ATT/104 SPEED
Moves: Swords Dance, Substitute, Sucker Punch, Superpower

Magmortar
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest
Ability: Flame Body
4 DEF/252 SP ATT/252 SPEED
Moves: Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Focus Punch, HP(Grass)

Muk
Item: Choice Band

252 HP/252 ATT/4 SP DEF

Samurott
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Torrent
252 SP ATT/252 SPEED/4 SP DEF

I would just like feedback (which I feel is needed), and suggestions on improvement. Lairon/Probopass is a bad combination since they are both the same type so I would like something that could replace one. Muk is great for luring in those sweeping psychic types with Shadow Sneak, which has had me sweep a few OU teams since I have priority over them. All in all, just give me improvements, anything that can improve this team in any way shape or form. Thank you.

OK, here's my feedback:

Lairon and Probopass together is bad, both have unfortunate 4x Ground/Fighting weakness so I recommend keeping one, not both.

You also have a massive Water and Ground weakness, so you should change a few things around. Keep Magmortar and get rid of both Lairon and Probopass cos them along with Magmortar and Muk gives you 4 Pokemon weak to Ground meaning anything carrying Earthquake will literally cream you.

Muk should also be replaced as Poison-types are bad offensively and defensively.

Samurott is looking nice, although I recommend these movesets and Hardy is not one of the best natures competitive wise:

Set #1 - Swords Dance
Adamant nature
Life Orb / Leftovers
Torrent
EVs: 112 HP, 252 Atk, 144 Sp. Def
Moves: Swords Dance, Waterfall, Megahorn, Aqua Jet

or...

Set #2 - All-Out Attacker
Modest nature
Life Orb
Torrent
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 4 Spd, 252 Sp. Def
Moves: Hydro Pump or Surf, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, Taunt

Since you have a massive Ground weakness, I'd recommend something with Levitate and the best contender for NU is Eelektross. Since you have a few Pokemon weak to Water, Eelektross can use Electric attacks and Grass Knot to counter Water-types.

Here's some good movesets if you want to use Eelektross:

Set #1 - Special Attacker
Modest nature
Life Orb / Leftovers
Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 Spd
Moves: Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, U-turn or Acid Spray, Grass Knot

or try this...

Set #2 - Coil
Careful nature
Leftovers
Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 Spd
Moves: Coil, Wild Charge, Return, Dragon Tail or Substitute

You have too heavy of a weakness to Fighting. I've already suggested Eelektross to replace Lairon, now to replace your Probopass to cut down your major Fighting weakness I shall suggest a Psychic-type for you.

One good contender for NU is Beheeyem, this alien-like creature. This thing can be a beast under Trick Room.

Its recommended set:

Set #1 - Trick Room + Nasty Plot
Quiet nature
Life Orb / Leftovers
Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Sp. Atk
Moves: Trick Room, Nasty Plot, Psychic, Thunderbolt or HP Fighting

For a good defensive Psychic, Gothitelle is another good candidate for this tier.

Movesets you can try with Gothitelle:

Set #1 - Calm Mind
Bold nature
Leftovers
Frisk
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. Def
Moves: Calm Mind, Psychic, HP Fighting, Dark Pulse or Rest

Set #2 - Dual Screens
Calm or Bold nature
Light Clay
Frisk
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Sp. Def
Moves: Reflect, Light Screen, Taunt, Thunder Wave or Toxic

Set #3 - Defensive Trick Room
Sassy or Relaxed nature
Leftovers
Frisk
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Sp. Def
Moves: Trick Room, Taunt, Toxic, Psychic

When used correctly, Gothitelle can give great support to your team.

Hope you go with what I suggest and see what other posters think.
