I revamped my RU team, but it still focuses on Gallade.
Gallade:
-Bulk Up
-Drain Punch
-Night Slash
-Substitute
Nature: Careful
EVs: 240 HP/212 SDef/56 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Justified
Like in my last team, this one isn't to be replaced, though other set suggestions are still welcome.
Mow Rotom:
-Volt Switch
-Leaf Storm
-Hidden Power (Fire)
-Thunder Wave
Nature: Timid
EVs: 48 HP/252 Atk/208 Spe
Item: Leftovers
This time, Mow Rotom serves as paralysis support. Its role of countering other bulky Water Pokemon stays the same.
Omastar:
-Stealth Rock
-Spikes
-Scald
-Ice Beam
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Omastar sets up entry hazards to aid in KOing opponents and deals with Fire Pokemon like opposing Entei.
Entei:
-Flare Blitz
-ExtremeSpeed
-Stone Edge
-Sleep Talk
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Flame Plate
Entei allows me to hit Escavalier and Grass Pokemon hard. I went with Flame Plate because I wanted Entei to have freedom switching between its moves.
Cryogonal:
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power (Fire)
-Rapid Spin
-Recover
Nature: Timid
EVs: 64 HP/252 SAtk/192 Spe
Item: Icicle Plate
Even though Cryogonal is weak to Stealth Rock, it still can use Rapid Spin to clear away opposing hazards. I'm using the offensive set to catch opponents off-guard.
Spiritomb:
-Sucker Punch
-Pursuit
-Shadow Sneak
-Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: BlackGlasses
Ability: Pressure
Spiritomb is the team's spinblocker and check/counter to Ghosts and Psychics, as well as frail Pokemon in general.
While testing the team, I found that it had problems with Water Pokemon if Mow Rotom got taken out.
Considerations:
-Choice Band and/or Hidden Power (Grass) on Entei
-Defensive Spiritomb/Cryogonal
