OU Team

[Shardwire]

Well, I got bored of my team and decided to try out a new one. Sadly, I haven't played pokemon in a while and most of my knowledge slipped by me and away from my brain. :P

Skarmory @ Occa Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EV's: 72 Attack, 200 Defense, 232 Sp. Defense,
Nature: Careful
- Roost
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Drill Peck

After setting Spikes and/or Stealth Rock, it can get some mild damage. Don't try to talk me into changing its EV's, because I'm trying to be slightly prepared for any Heatran.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EV's: 200 Hp, 252 Attack, 52 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Substitute
- Dynamic Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Stone Edge

I've never tried a Machamp set, but this is what I've come up with. Basic standards to me.

Gyrados@ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 154 Hp, 252 Attack, 98 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Just a typical sweeper, and a counter for all those annoying Scarfed Heatrans/Typhlosions that come up.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EV's: 64 Atk/252 SpAtk/192 Spe
Nature: Rash
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- HP Ice
- Thunderpunch


Basically, Infernape is my mix-sweeper.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
EV's: 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch
- Blaze Kick

A nice sweeper with SD. Lucario is also my T-tar Counter, if Gyrados is already knocked out.

Alakazam @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Inner Focus
EV's: 52 Hp, 252 Sp. Attack, 200 Speed
Nature: Modest
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball

A nice Special Sweeper, and with Choice Scarf it can outrun mostly everything. Really, if I can find a better Special Attacker, then I'd gladly change it.

Updates in Italics.

 

[Pokedra]

Stone Edge >>> Rock Slide cause of No Guard =/

Nonono don't use Outrage on Gyarados, use Ice Fang/Stone Edge.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EV's: 64 Atk/252 SpAtk/192 Spe
Nature: Rash
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- HP Ice
- Grass Knot / Thunderpunch

Use that Mixape, works better ;)
I'll drop by for a proper rate later...

 

[Chaostorm]

Stone Edge >>>> Ice Punch >>>> Blaze Kick for Lucario . Go with Jolly if u want an Enough Speed

Ok, I see your points on Gyrados, and Machamp. I like the Mixape, too.

Stone Edge >>>> Ice Punch >>>> Blaze Kick for Lucario . Go with Jolly if u want an Enough Speed

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand quite, but are you saying to add Ice Punch and Stone Edge? Ok, I'll go with Jolly.

 

[Dark Azelf]

That Skarmory is frikking awful, not only does it lose to the most common leads but it fails to do much apart from being a poor suicide lead, you're literally wasting its potential. If you want a better lead just use Aero, does the same thing. Die and sets up SR. =/

Actually, speaking of lead, it might be unconventional, but it will help your team. Nidoqueen might work over Skarmory because of Toxic Spikes, as most counters to Infernape and Gyarados lose/are at risk to those which makes sweeping alot easier (See Vappy, Cune, P2, the extra damage on Celebi never hurts either etc). It also walls the crap out of most fighters. In addition it also does pretty well against the majority of leads (apart from Azelf, but thats why you have 6 slots on a team =p).

Nidoqueen@Leftovers
252 HP / 200 Def / 12 sp.att / 44 Speed
Relaxed Nature
Trait : Not rivalry lol
- Toxic Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast / Ice Beam

Is the set i use, the speed beats min speed metagross and pokes just above it.

Mence, Gyarados and Heatran shred you, id put something like Porygon2 >> Machamp and it also kinda helps with Zappy too i guess.

Porygon2@Leftovers
252 HP / 216 DEF / 40 SP.ATT
Bold Nature
Trait : Trace
- Discharge
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Toxic / Hidden Power [Fighting]

HP Fight allows you to do something to sub tran, zone and hit tar switch ins btw.

Infernape@Life orb
172 ATT / 144 SP.ATT / 192 SPEED
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Overheat
- Grass Knot

This please, you can lure in and 2hko vappy thus again making Gyarados job sweeping easier.

Scizor weak. Something like an Appliance of Rotom would work >> Zam, scarf possibly ? Also stops rapid spin. =]

Next, Lucario wants a life orb. How many times do i have to say this: FOCUS SASH IS A CRAPPY ITEM APART FROM ON LEADS AND GETS NEGATED BY SR AND EVERYTHING ELSE. Besides that set is awful just scrap it and start again its lacking CC and lacking ES yuck.

Lucario@Life Orb
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
Trait : Inner Focus
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Stone Edge / Crunch / Ice Punch

Please.

You gyarados is too slow. Gyarados wants standard bulkydos set and evs if you want it like that otherwise use an offensive version probably with lefties if you want a compromize.

Just some ideas to consider here.

Nido
P2
Scarf Rotom
Mix Ape
DD Gyara
SD LO Lucario

Something like this ?

 

[Chaostorm]

I meant u might Put Ice Punch or Stone Edge on Top Blaze Kick. SD Ice Punch Jolly Lucario can KO DD Adamant Mence

Awesome Stealthrock/Spikes lead.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EV's: 200 Hp, 252 Attack, 52 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Substitute
- Dynamic Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Rock Slide

I've never tried a Machamp set, but this is what I've come up with. Basic standards to me.

Machamp is cool but I would reccomend Thunderpunch and Icepunch to deal with Salamence, Gliscor, Gyarados, etc. I think Rock Slide could be replaced with Stone Edge.

Gyrados@ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 154 Hp, 252 Attack, 98 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Just a typical sweeper, and a counter for all those annoying Scarfed Heatrans/Typhlosions that come up.

Good standard Gyarados, nothing wrong here.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EV's: 64 Atk/252 SpAtk/192 Spe
Nature: Rash
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- HP Ice
- Thunderpunch


Basically, Infernape is my mix-sweeper.

Awesome Mixape, I am not too experienced with Sinnoh Pokémon so I won't comment on this in detail.

Lucario @ Focus Sash
Ability: Steadfast
EV's: 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch
- Blaze Kick

A nice sweeper with SD. Lucario is also my T-tar Counter, if Gyrados is already knocked out.

Sword Dance Lucario is awesome, you might want to give it something to kill Ghost types. Considering it's physical, I won't say Shadowball. Reccomending Life Orb.

Alakazam @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Inner Focus
EV's: 52 Hp, 252 Sp. Attack, 200 Speed
Nature: Modest
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball

A nice Special Sweeper, and with Choice Scarf it can outrun mostly everything. Really, if I can find a better Special Attacker, then I'd gladly change it.

Cool Alakazam, Energyball isn't usually on Alakazam so I am sure it could own Swampert. Seems rather standard for an Alakazam, though.

This team is awesome, I would say get another Pokémon to deal with Ice-types or teach Machamp Icepunch for sure. Porygon-Z would be useful or you could teach Alakazam HP Ice if possible. I especially like how your Lucario can deal with Skarmory and Bronzong with Blazekick, rather than being walled by them.

lol
Heatran's fire attacks will be doing massive damage anyway due to Skarmory's piss poor special defense stat. It's like trying to make Breloom Careful with 252 HP/252 SpD: it's pointless, you're going to die anyway to Heatran's Fire Blast. Not to mention Skarmory's a pretty bad lead; he can get taunted by just about everything, set up on, OHKO'd by several... you get the idea.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EV's: 200 Hp, 252 Attack, 52 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Substitute
- Dynamic Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Stone Edge

what... the... hell?

Gyrados@ Life Orb

Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 154 Hp, 252 Attack, 98 Speed
Nature: Adament
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Just a typical sweeper, and a counter for all those annoying Scarfed Heatrans/Typhlosions that come up.

Typhlosion's VERY rare. Also, what's with your EV spread? Go 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe or else you lose to other Gyarados after a Dragon Dance.

Lucario @ Life Orb

Ability: Steadfast
EV's: 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch
- Blaze Kick

A nice sweeper with SD. Lucario is also my T-tar Counter, if Gyrados is already knocked out.

Why the HELL does this thing lack the most crucial moves in ANY physical Lucario set? Close Combat's absolutely needed for STAB, ExtremeSpeed's needed or else Lucario becomes too easy to revenge kill.
Lucario @ Life Orb
252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Swords Dance
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Stone Edge
^use this.

Awesome Stealthrock/Spikes lead.

Are you freaking serious?
