i hate pokemon but decided that after being out of the game for a few months to give it a go. turns out either the ladder is bad or i am good because i managed to go 21-0 before getting my first loss, and peaked at #3 in Smogon PS OU with a score of 30-2. i didn't actually change my team at all during my ladder spree because im lazy and don't really know the metagame. luckily dragmag is simple enough to work.
i am the mighty horse ****er. anyway here is the team.

this is the beast that guarantees an easy win against a bad player. did your scizor use bullet punch, scarf jirachi use iron head, or ferrothorn decide to stay in and do anything at all? then congrats, i just got two kills (or more). at +2 magnezone hits surprisingly hard, 2HKOing tyranitar / latios with tbolt and even defensive landorus t with hp fire (both of whom are outrun). once maggy gets its guaranteed 2 kills i usually let it die or save it to sponge a random outrage.

kyuremb is retarded. it hits about as hard as a jolly pokemon holding choice band with 115 base attack. you would be surprised what just lies down and dies to a single outrage after stealth rocks. rotom-w, keldeo, terrakion, blissey, ninetales, jellicent, politoed... even some offensive steels like lucario and fast scizor fall to two outrages. 188 speed outruns +1 gyarados with the rest in bulk. 64 hp allows kyurem to survive 4 seismic tosses or 4 hits from stealth rock before fainting.

scarf latios is pretty deadly when scizor, forry, ferrothorn etc are gone. yeah tyranitar is annoying but that **** is just setup bait for lucario / garchomp anyway. latias checks a bunch of stuff and supplies some massive offensive presence. it outruns scarf terrakion, keldeo, and venusaur, OHKOing all of them (and no one really seems to expect scarf latios)

mamoswine is kinda weird. when it works, it works well... getting rocks down and a free kill with endeavor + ice shard. usually though it just gets rocks down and checks some random scarf salamence. then again you would be surprised how weak people are to mamoswine when forretress and skarmory are fried by magnezone.

yache berry garchomp is surprisingly strong still as no one really wants to risk their lati@s so they just try to check it with starmie or (random ice wielding scarfer). or even better, they send landorus-t in on a swords dance and take 70-80% from +1 outrage (then die because landorus t can't do **** back). the only thing that really can switch in on this safely is skarmory in the rain, and that thing gets massacred by magnezone.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus

Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch

- ExtremeSpeed
- Close Combat
lucario is sorta filler but checks a bunch of stuff and take advantage of the garbage pursuiters scarf latios lures in. lucario doesn't sweep very much because every random ******* on the ladder runs landorus t or something. Still it can just use close combat + extremespeed to get a KO in most cases. it also lures in terrakions who take a solid chunk from bullet punch (or OHKO if im at +2). bullet punch also beats gengar who is a huge dick.
changes i'm considering are mostly just something over mamoswine, or a different set. regardless mamoswine does its job well enough that it isn't dead weight. i could run hp ice magnezone and donphan > mamoswine possibly?
