Team Better Than You [OU RMT]

[yankee0724]

Team At A Glance

I'm using whats in BOLD

Empoleon (M) @ Lum Berry/Chople Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 156 HP/100 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Aqua Jet
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam/Grass Knot

This is such an underrated lead. Hydro Pump+Aqua Jet takes care of Aeros and Azelfs, leaving them to either Taunt or get their rocks up-usually taunt me for some reason. Lum Berry+Ice Beam takes care of Roserades and obscure Breloom leads. Only thing I fear is Close Combat from Ape and Scarf leads with Electric moves...and Trick.Stupid Trick.

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 80 Atk/176 Spd/252 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Brick Break
- Roost

Classic Mixmence>New Mixmence. Draco Meteor is uber powerful and only resisted by steels which get hit hard by Fire Blast. Brick Break>Outrage for Blissey because you don't get locked in and become set-up fodder. Roost to get back health from LO recoil.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch/Stone Edge

Switch it on anything it scares out [Blissey/any Special Wall] and set up SD. Close Combat gets STAB, Extremespeed picks things off/Scarf Users, and Crunch makes me not walled by Ghosts/Celebi.

Starmie @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Trick

Say hey to Revenge Killer. Outspeeds and OHKO's +1 Mence and +1 Gyarados. Surf for if I'm not revenging and Trick takes care of Blisseys looking to come in and annoy Starmie.

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- U-turn
- Superpower

The other Revenge Killer. Pursuit wears down Blisseys that try and wall Starmie. U-Turn scouts for Scizor Counters, especially Magnezone, combine that with SR, and they get worn down real quick, real fast. Zapdos and Gyara are KO'd by BP after one U-Turn and coming into SR twice.

Azelf @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 40 HP/252 Spd/216 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Psychic

Yeah, this is the reason the team was made. NP Elf is a beast. This thing comes in with full health and survives a CB Scizor Bullet Punch after SR and ko's with Flamethrower. HP Fighting wrecks Tar and Heatran and is I believe a 2HKO on Blissey or 3HKO at full health and Scizor wears it down with Pursuit anyway so yeah. Psychic is STAB.

Conclusion​

​

One Pokemon is weak to Stealth Rock, 2 resist it. One is affected by Toxic SPikes, but Starmie has Natural Cure, so yeah. Spikes wears me down, having 4 hit by them.
And yes I know Zone wrecks half my team, unless Lucario gets a SD in and Zone isn't scarfed.

[Dark Azelf]

God this place is dead, imma post some like 12 discussion topics later. :/

Anyways i told you Specs jolt = AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for this team.

You also have a MASSIVE SD Scizor weak, id lead with Azelf (standard SR suicide lead) and put Gyarados/Heatran >> Empoleon for Scizor and then scarf Latias >> Scarf Starmie to help with Specs Jolt (dont worry about Pursuit, SD Luke can set up on that crap which is a decent strategy that and scarf starmie is Pursuit weak anyway lol).

This would be a quick fix.

 

[yankee0724]

Only problem I have with that is I built this team around using NP Azelf.

What else could I replace for Gyarados?
