First OU Team - RMT
Alright, this is my first OU rmt (and first ever), so lets see how it goes.
Lead:
Relaxed @ Leftovers
Torrent
252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 ATK
Stealth Rock
EQ
Ice Beam
Roar
Bet you've seen this a million times. The standard swampert lead can get stealth rocks out, and fast, while having some raw power behind it. Hits many common leads hard, like infernape, aerodactyl, and metagross hard.
Physical Sweeper:
Adamant @ Choice Band
Technician
252 ATK / 248 HP / 8 SPD
U-Turn
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Pursuit
This is an absolute beast. It and Swampert are a very good combo, with scizor resisting swampert's 4x grass weakness, and swampert resisting scizor's only fire weakness. Along with that, its attacks just wreck everything with choice band's boost. I was thinking to use a swords dance variant, but with this monster, I want to start killing everything in my sight asap.
Defensive Wall:
Impish @ Leftovers
Keen Eye
252 HP / 64 ATK / 176 DEF / 16 SPD
Brave Bird
Roost
Spikes
Whirlwind
It tanks, spikes, and stops sweeps. Roost allows it to live longer, and when coupled with leftovers, is nearly unbeatable. With swampert covering his weakness to electric, all it needs to worry about is its ice weakness. Brave bird allows it to deal damage, and whirlwind is for additional spikes damage.
Annoying Damage Dealer:
Jolly @ Choice Scarf
Levitate
4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD
EQ
Outrage
U-Turn
Fire Blast
Jolly > Adamant so that it can attack first. There's not much to say here. U-turn on the opponent's switch to gain the advantage, or just straight up attack the opponents pokemon with its moves. As well as that, it can switch in on EQs with no damage taken.
Special Sweeper:
Timid @ Life Orb
Levitate
252 SP. ATK / 252 SPD / 4 DEF
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Sub / Focus Blast (sub for Battle Tower)
Explosion
Pretty self-explanatory. Shadow Ball for STAB, thunderbolt for more type coverage, Focus Blast OHKOs Tyranitar, and anything else, I explode.
Late Game Sweeper:
Modest @ Petaya Berry
Torrent
12 HP / 12 DEF / 252 SP. ATK / 232 SPD
Agility
Sub
Surf
Ice Beam
The last pokemon is empoleon. Switch in on a resisted attack, then agility. Sub until the petaya berry activates, and then sweep. Torrent and STAB boosts make surf deadly, and ice beam can take out any additional threats like salamence.
Anything changed based on comments is in bold.
