This is currently my team used for OU Link Battling. Ive had 10 battles so far with it and have lost only once.
Skarmory: Careful
Ev's 252 Hp/ 252 Def/ 6 Speed
Attacks:
Spikes
Roar
Toxic
Drill Peck
This is a terrific starter because he can pull of spikes quickly giving me an early advantage. Before anyone comments on his nature I understand impish is generally recommended, but realisticly people who know what their doing don't attempt to attack with physicals and use thunderbolts/surf etc. while taking him down.
Heracross: Adamant
Ev's 252 Atk/ 252 Speed/ 6 Hp
Attacks:
Megahorn
Sword Dance
Rock Slide
Brick Break
Standard Heracross for the most part. Makes a great number 2 man in my opinion because he is to valuable and needs to see what my opponent begins with to prevent starting against Something with the advantage.
Claydol: Relaxed
Ev's 236 Hp/ 136 Atk/ 108 Def/ 30 Sp Def
Attacks:
Rapid Spin
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Rest
The tank of the group. Is terrific for switching into earthquakes and can use rest effectivly since I have a cleric.
Chimeco: Calm
Ev's 196 Hp/ 62 Def/ 252 Sp Def
Attacks:
Yawn
Heal Bell
Psychic
Reflect
O no what on earth is a chimeco doing in overused :O. Well this little fellow gets a bad rep due to the fact theirs better clerics out their but people to often underestimate him. He's on my team due to the fact he's my favorite pokemon so I try to build a solid team around him to make him work. Yawn buys him a free turn which is crucial because he can't take many hits. Next I use heal bell or reflect. I chose reflect over light sceen because his def is not as good as his Sp Def. Although fragile if you proceed with caution he can do okay for himself.
Blaziken: Jolly
Ev's 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 Hp
Attacks:
Sword Dance
Sky Uppercut
Rock Slide
Overheat
My skarmbliss counter. He has been really successful against curselax because most people don't switch out trying to KO him with eartquake but get outrun and 2KO with Sky Uppercut.
Metagross: Adamant
Ev's 252 Atk/ 159 Def/ 96 Sp Def
Attacks:
Agility
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Sludge Bomb
Standard Metagross. I have recieved criticism from fellow Metagross users due to my EV Spread. However this spread is actually very effective and has worked for me.
