First OU RMT in 3 months:o

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Yep, finally returning to NetBattle(not really a cause for celebration for most people ._.), and with a slightly altered OU Team.

Tyranitar (M) & Leftovers ** Anti-SkarmBliss
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Spd / 188 SAtk
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
~ Crunch
~ Focus Punch
~ Substitute
~ Thunderbolt

Boah. Nothing else to say, other than the fact that I've found it can actually switch into Snorlax nicely with Para support.

Zapdos & Leftovers ** Aero-Arrow
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
~ Hidden Power [Ice]
~ Substitute
~ Thunder Wave
~ Thunderbolt

Thinking about changing to HP Grass, since HP Ice is only going to KO a couple of things Thunderbolt and HP Grass together won't(Grass Types).

Celebi & Leftovers ** Onion-thing
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 60 Def / 40 Spd / 88 SAtk / 80 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
~ Calm Mind
~ Hidden Power [Grass]
~ Psychic
~ Recover

CM Celebi, simple enough. Psychic so Grass Types don't lol at it and so Grass and/or Flying Types don't switch in freely. HP Grass so I'm not completely loled at by Tyranitar switch-ins(2HKOs, IIRC).

Weezing (M) & Leftovers ** The Poison Ball
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 120 HP / 76 Atk / 252 Def / 60 SAtk
Lax Nature (+Def, -SDef)
~ Fire Blast
~ Haze
~ Sludge Bomb
~ Will-O-Wisp

Changed to Lax so FB does more damage than Impish. I'd like to see it OHKO Metagross, but it would need a lot more Sp. Attack, and I can't afford to slash any other Stat for it.

Blissey (F) & Leftovers ** Scrambled Eggz
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
~ Aromatherapy
~ Ice Beam
~ Seismic Toss
~ Softboiled

lol Bliss. Been wanting to switch back to Thunder Wave, but this moveset works pretty well as is.

Claydol & Leftovers ** Elderly Toy
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 176 HP / 100 Atk / 144 Def / 88 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
~ Earthquake
~ Explosion
~ Ice Beam
~ Rapid Spin

Just changed to Claydol today because Hera didn't work for me. And Spikes was killing me. Boom>Rest for surprise. I've been considering making it all Physical or all Special(excluding Boom) so that I can amp up its other three Stats.



I never was good at keeping up with new Standards, even when I was obsessed with NB. Three months of inactivity have eroded my knowledge of past and present Standards, so please, tell me if any of the sets I have are outdated, or even if they just plain don't work.

wow your tyranitar hurts your team's staying power

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Speaking of which, 4/6 of my team Stalls. Zapdos is the only real Sweeper, and Boah is just....Boah.

So, any suggestions for a replacement? Snorlax, perhaps?

But I thought boah was ice beam tbolt sub punch!!!!!????????????????????!??!?!?/////

 

[Golden Groudon]

Ctrainer's trainer card is ****ing funny

Anyways, like 0ma said, boah rapes your own team. Get a real starter this time, like zapdos.

 

[SapphireL]

imo, your Blissey could use a LITTLE LITTLE more Sp.Def.. :/

 

[DemonScythe]

give Zapdos more HP that is /16 so it can standup to your Gyrados problem

that Weezing is basically crap with no Painspilt, Sandstream killing your lefties and no Wishes or Leech seed to help it heal for Physical Stalling, but give it a Relaxed nature over Lax.

meh I prefer Celebi with only one attack, but BPing CMs seems to help most of your team, good team anyways..

 

[aipomkong]

you need a more reliable normal resist as well

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

K, how about Forry>Claydol for Normal Resist and Spin?

Slack King: Used to be ._.

GG: Yeah, I'll be replacing Tyranitar with something. Maybe McGar.

SapphireL: K, how much should I subtract from HP?

DemonScythe: OK, will do.

I never found Pain Split that useful, really. But meh. And I wasn't sure what to use in place of Impish.

Celebi doesn't BP CMs, it just uses them for itself. But it does help in some situations.


Since I seriously lack a Celebi counter, I switched Ice Beam for HP Bug on Claydol and divided its Sp. Attack EVs into the other Stats.

HP Grass on Celebi covers Swampert, I guess, but would it serve any purpose on Zapdos? Or is HP Ice fine?

trying to base a normal resist around rapid spin will get you no where, just go for the normal resist, rapid spin isn't essencial anyway

Alright, how about Steelix?

Come to think of it, I could give Steelix Roar and replace Weezing with something more useful.

HP 212, DEF 252, 44 SDEF

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

HP 212, DEF 252, 44 SDEF

K, fixed.

I decided on DDMence with Flamethrower over Boah. It's actually working quite well, because it KOs random stuff besides SkarmBliss, but it doesn't kill Blissey without Brick Break, which I can't seem to fit in, and that's a problem for me. Current MS is @Lefties DD/FT/HP Fly/EQ.
