[RMT] Second OU Team

The Roshi

I must become stronger...

    Alrighty, I'm back with another team. This one is different from the first in that I have three sweepers on the team instead of four. I don't know if that's going to turn out to be a problem... but whatever that's why I'm here right?

    Again, try to keep edits possible within the realm of one game pack. I can trade now and everything, but I've built the team around having only one of each TM found in-game.

    I appreciate all help that is given. If you find problems with a pokemon or even a specific move, please provide a reason why it doesn't belong/should be replaced, and also a suggested replacement. I think that my team got rated really thoroughly last time so I shouldn't even assume anything less from you guys =D

    Anyways, here we go again...

    An Overview
    *pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed""image removed"
    I lead with a standard suicide Aerodactyl, taunting the other lead and hopefully getting the SR off. Cresselia comes in on a safe switch in and sets up a dual screen. The sweepers are there to do damage of course. Umbreon is to be used strategically to get wishes for the team or to pass mean looks for easy setups/sweeps.​

    In Depth​
    Spoiler:


    Concerns​

    I need a couple of moveset tweaks (dragon claw on Salamence for instance) assuming the pokemon are actually correct. I know Blaziken might be hard to use, so if there is a serious suggestion that can replace blaziken (or replace him and another pokemon, but keep the same roles filled) (or something). That's my main concern. Also a big concern is that I only have three pokemon that can really attack and do damage. I know there are other types of teams out there like stalling teams, but this is clearly not a staller team. So I really don't know what to think. ​

    Conclusions
    So again, I welcome and need all the help I can get. Thanks for taking the time to read this thread!​

    Umbreon sucks ass, and doesnt do anything bar give the metagame a free set up.

    So id replace that straight away. Vaporeon would work, it covers your massive Gyarados/Mixape/Heatran weakness

    *image removed*@Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.DEF
    Bold Nature
    Trait : Water Absorb
    - Wish
    - Protect
    - Hidden Power Electric
    - Surf

    Next, id probaby replace Gengar with a Rotom-H. An all out offensive version might work to beat your horrific Scizor weakness (Mence gets OHKO'd with a SD LO Bullet Punch even after intimidate with SR up btw).

    *image removed* @ Leftovers / Expert Belt
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 192 HP/192 Spd/126 SAtk
    Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Thunderbolt / Charge Beam
    - Overheat
    - Shadow Ball
    - Hidden Power Fighting

    Basically 192 hp for an odd number to round down SR damage and to give bulk, 192 speed to beat adamant Lucario. Charge Beam up and sweep pretty much, HP Fight nails tar and tran.


    Lastly "lol cress", put in a Bronzong over it please, to help with DD Tar and still covering Mence (arguably better than cress thanks to being resistant to draco metoer too which your team cant take for squat, nor CB/DD Outrages) and still getting dual screens and being less suck in general lol.

    *image removed*@ Light Clay
    Ability : Levitate
    252 HP / 68 ATT / 108 DEF / 82 S.DEF
    Ivs : 0 Speed
    Relaxed Nature
    - Light Screen
    - Reflect
    - Gyro Ball
    - Explosion / Earthquake / Hypnosis


    This ev spread is great to handle DD mence and DD Tar.

    Again ape does that set better than Blaziken, faster speed and access to U-Turn and access to priority too. :/ Oh and CC granting more 0/2HKO's thanks to CC not dropping attack.

    Fire Fang on mence, use please or you lose to any floaty/bulky steel not weak to eq >> D-Claw. No fire move is only practical with zone support which wont work on this team.

    Just some thoughts here.

    Aero
    Rotom
    Ape
    Zong
    Vappy
    Mence

    Something like this ?

    Aerodactyl: What is Ice Fang for? Earthquake seems better to hit Tyranitar, Metagross, Jirachi, Heatran, etc, and gives you the EdgeQuake combo (or EdgeSlide lol).

    Blaziken: I think more Speed is better than having just 18 more base power. :| Does it miss out of certain KOs? Infernape also has Close Combat so it doesn't have to worry about the Attack drop from Superpower.

    Salamence: Use Life Orb, you still don't survive a Ice Shard from Weavile or Mamoswine, and it only lets you defeat Porygon2 (which is really just best to switch out). Try using Fire Fang on either Outrage or Dragon Claw so Skarmory and Bronzong doesn't wall you.

    Gengar: Replace Thunderbolt or Explosion with Hidden Power Fire, so you can hit Scizor on the switch, and also helps with Jirachi, Metagross, etc. Don't replace Focus Blast with Ice Beam, it provides unresisted coverage with Shadow Ball.

    You have a Tyranitar weak, nothing can switch into CB Stone Edge. Even Cresselia has a 20% chance of being 2HKOed by Stone Edge after SR damage. You can fix this by using Swampert over Aerodactyl. I might come back to suggest some more.

    Edit: I'm so slow. :x
     
    Earthquake >>> Ice Fang, it gives you better coverage and Ice Fang is pretty useless to be brutally honest.

    Life Orb >> Yache Berry, grants you extra power and Yache Berry doesn't work as well on Mence. Fire Fang as well or you get walled by Bronzong/Forrey/Skarms.

    You could switch 40 EV's from SpAtk to Atk to grab the OHKO on Blissey with Explosion and consider HP Fire >>> Focus Blast.

    Ape works better then Blaziken, he has way more Speed and access to more useful moves. Plus CC doesn't drop your attack so you can stay in. MixApe would go good over >>> Blaziken.

    Infernape @ Life Orb
    Nature : Naive
    EV : 64 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 192 Spe
    - Fire Blast
    - Close Combat
    - Grass Knot
    - HP Ice

    Just some pointers =)
