First RMT.

[SexCune]

Introduction:

Hey Guys, im new to serebii, well not really ive been reading the forums for about a year now but havnt really been bothered with making an acount till now so anyway on to my team.

Ive made alot of teams in my day but this is probably my worst yet, but its got 6 of my most favourites except suicune<(BEAST). Anyway im here for a
good rate and desperate help, and some critism. I tryed to base this team around an offensive lucario, havnt been very successfull.

Swampert
Ability: Torrent
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EV Spread: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpD
~Stealth rock.
~Protect.
~Earthqauke.
~Ice Beam.

Description.

Well, Swampert is a great lead and has great movepool.
He is one of my best leads if used in a while. What i hate about it is its so common, more than 60% of my opponents lead with it. Anyway onto the moves.

Stealth Rocks: What is a team without stealth Rocks, It has saved my *** so many times. It usually turns 2HKOs into 1HKOs. not much other uses.

Protect: the only time i use this if im stalling or i predict an explosion.
And i dont know if it protects spikes/tox spikes/stealth rocks?

Earthquake: This is a great stab moves, its helped me kill those pesky set up lucarios.

Ice Beam: Used to kill other leads like roserade and dragonite.
It can be very usfall later in game.

Lucario
Ability: Inner Focus
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
EV Spread: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
~Sword Dance.
~Extremespeed.
~Close Combat.
~Crunch.

Lucario is what my team is based off.
It can easily can OHKO alot of pokemon with +2 even +1 attack.
I love setting this guy up and dominating the opponent.

Sword Dance: Set up move. What else can i say?

Extremespeed: Great move, usually revenge kill weakened pokes.

Close Combat: Lucarios main stab move, def and spD dosnt bother me at all.

Crunch: this takes care of ghosts.

Heatran
Ability: Flash Fire.
Item: Choice Scarf.
Nature: Naive.
Ev spread: 252 SpA / 4 spD / 252 spe
~Fire Blast.
~Earth Power.
~Explosion.
~Dragon Pulse.

Heatran is my only fire i like in OU ( never liked infernape much).
not much to say, My main revenge killer.

Fire Blast: Great coverage for grass/steel/ice.

Earth Power: Another move to OHKO lucario and other grounds and steels.

Explosion: When im low hp BOOOOOM!

Dragon Pulse: Dont really use it nor like it
any suggestions on changing appreciated?

Vaporeon
Ability: Water Absorb.
Item: Leftovers.
Nature: Bold.
Ev Spread: 188 hp / 252 def / 68 spe.
~Wish.
~Protect.
~Surf.
~Toxic.

My wish support pokemon. Works great with my team.
Heals pokemon when needed. Not much else to say.

Wish: Heals pokemon.

Protect: Protect/toxic work well.

Surf: Vaporeons main stab and main gliscor counter.

Toxic: Helps weaken pokemon for OHKOs.

Rotom-W.
Ability: Levitate
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest
EV Spread: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
~Thunderbolt
~Will O Wisp
~Hydro Pump
~Trick

Rotom H.
Helps me take of Gliscor/hippowdown and sometimes tyranitar with hyrdro pump. Also can take down suicune and vaporeon with thunderbolt.
It works really well with lucario as they both resist there weaknesses.

Thunderbolt: Main Stab, Takes care of waters/flying.

Willowisp: Helps me against offensive pokemon.

Hydro pump: counter for ground pokes.

Trick: Tricks the scarf when needed.

Meganium
Ability: Overgrow.
Item: Leftovers.
Nature: Calm.
Ev Spread: 216 hp / 148 spD / 144 spA.
~Aromatherapy.
~Energy Ball.
~Light Screen.
~Reflect.

Meganium is my support for my team.
i love him and hate him. i love his moveset.
but hate his stats, im willling to change for a spd
pokemon that can learn aromatheropy.

Aromatheropy: If most my pokemon are para/poisoned i simply use this.

Energy Ball: There for extra damage.

Light Screen: Helps with spec attacker sweeps.

Reflect: same as above, just opposite.

You should seriously consider Shadow ball over WoW on Rotom, status moves on Choice sets usually arent a very good idea.

I would search for a better support pokemon over Meganium for OU, I recommend Celebi with a similar set.

Everything else seems fine.

Meganium is outclassed in OU. If you really want a dual screen supporter, try out Bronzong.

Bronzong@Light Clay
Relaxed
Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 152 Atk, 8 Def, 96 SpD
Moves:
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion

Bronzong makes a great transition Pokemon. It has great defenses, including a ton of resistances and an immunity to Ground and Poison. Other than that, this team is looking really solid. Pretty good for a first RMT.

Change Vaporeon's spread to 188HP/252Def/52SpD/12Spe. It runs enough speed to outrun Choice Band Scizor packing 8Spe, hits a leftovers number, and balances the defenses out.

68Spe was originally for 8Spe Metagross, and Vaporeon sadly cannot do much back with Surf. You can Wish/Protect Life Orb recoil, but that definitly isn't your best option. You should just switch to your Metagross counter, as Metagross can use Thunder Punch. In other words, 68Spe is wasting Vaporeon's bulk. The special defense helps it switch into stuff like Spec'd Heatran more easily.

I would probably use a different Heatran set as well. Probably Life Orb Heatran, as you already have a revenge killer in Scarfed Rotom and LO Heatran will help you break apart stall which you have a weakness to.

Overall a pretty good team, I posted changes I deemed neccesary at a glance so I may have missed something.

Edit:Use Hidden Power Ice/Thunderbolt/Trick/Overheat on Rotom. Thunderbolt hits Suicune which you counter very well, Hidden Power Ice revenges Dragonite, and Overheat helps you check Lucario and Metagross more easily which you wall. Timid > Modest, as you would want to screw speed ties and outrun the random Scarfed Heracross you may see on the ladder. Timid also helps you outrun Jolly Gyarados and Dragonite if they managed to get a DD.
