So, I'm trying a singles OU competitive team for the first time. Some of these sets are borrowed from Smogon, and some I've messed with myself:
:579:
Reuniclus is bulky enough to at least set up Trick Room and get a hit in, if not more than that. I gave him both shadow ball and focus blast for coverage against ghost/dark.
;248;
Tyranitar is a good follow-up to Reuniclus. With trick room in effect and expert belt, he can deal with most threats to my TR setter.
;429;
My speedster just in case the trick room doesn't pan out or reuniclus falls early.
;445;
A good setup sweeper. High defense just so he lasts long enough to do some damage.
These last two I've been messing with. I wanted Excadrill as my spinner but he's uber, so I went with a cover Cloyster:
;091;
I also tried a Sub/Spore Breloom, but that didn't really cut it for me, so I switched to a SubStall Gliscor:
;207;
I have toyed with the idea of a Balloon Heatran instead of Gliscor, I'm just not sure how well that'd work. I'd love to hear analyses and suggestions.
