  • First note that Speed Boost Blaziken is banned in OU, so this is technically an Ubers team.

    I'm confused as to why you'd be using Toxicroak outside a rain team, as well. Usually Toxicroak is reserved for use in rain. I'd rather have Conkeldurr if you want to use Bulk Up.

    I'm not sure what strategy you're trying to employ with this team either, it'd be helpful if you added a little description or something. Your team also doesn't have reliable answers to Gyarados or Latios, as well as common special sweepers like Gengar, Keldeo, and Starmie. I don't know what you should replace with a counter because you lack a strategy description. Those issues are the main flaws I see in your team.

    Toxicroak is just there in a rush, as I'm looking for good fighting type pokemon... Conkeldurr isn't getting the job done very well.

    I've replaced Toxicroak with Rotom: (Will cover water types)
    Rotom-W Levitate
    Nature: Timid
    Item: Choice Scarf
    Attacks: Volt Switch, Hydro Pump, Hidden Power Ice, Trick
    EV: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

    Also got Infernape as a replacement for Blaziken to make team OU.

    Exacdrill should cover Gengar cause of Mold Breaker.. Team is for Wifi battles.

  • Fire Fang or Aqua Tail are better options over Stone Edge on Garchomp, since they allow it to take advantage of opposing sun or rain respectively.

    While Spiritomb has a good typing and bulk, it doesn't fare well in OU. Its shallow offensive movepool is the only real letdown here, and there are too many Steels in OU that resist Dark Pulse, and Spiritomb doesn't have coverage outside of Hidden Power to deal with them. Jellicent is a better alternative since it also supports the team and has good defenses:
    -Scald/Surf
    -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
    -Recover
    -Taunt
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    Or
    -Scald/Surf
    -Shadow Ball/Ice Beam
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Recover
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 HP/36 Def/220 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb

    Or
    -Water Spout
    -Hydro Pump/Surf/Scald
    -Shadow Ball
    -Ice Beam/Giga Drain
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 172 HP/252 SAtk/84 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Water Absorb

    Infernape is too frail to set up Swords Dance and is better off attacking straight away:
    -Flare Blitz
    -Close Combat
    -U-turn
    -Mach Punch/ThunderPunch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band

    Or
    -Overheat/Fire Blast
    -Close Combat
    -ThunderPunch
    -U-turn/Mach Punch/Hidden Power (Ice)
    Nature: Naive/Hasty
    EVs: 180 Atk/76 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt

    Or
    -Flare Blitz/Fire Blast
    -Close Combat
    -U-turn
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Stone Edge
    Nature: Naive/Hasty
    EVs: 36 Atk/220 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    @PlatinumDude I made all the correct changes... Any pointers on Blaziken & Swords Dance?
