My First Competitive Team

ShinyFufu

Arriving glacially.
Well, I always wanted to be good at competitive battling, so I decided to make my own team first, just to see how good I am at making teams. This is for the OU Metagame.

Slaking@Choice Band
Admant
Return
Shadow Ball
Earthquake
Focus Punch
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
*Is this set standard becuz I used it in-game before, and the AI couldn't touch me... is this set standard?

Starmie@Brightpowder
Timid
Rapid Spin
Recover
Surf
Thunderbolt
EVs: 40 HP, 252 SAtk, 216 Speed

Raikou@Petaya Berry
Modest
Thunderbolt
Crunch
Calm Mind
Substitute
EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
*I want to replace Crunch with Hidden Power Grass or Ice, I can't decide. Either way, that would require me to have really good IVs, so can anyone tell me a place where I can figure out the IVs of my pokemon without them being at lvl 100?

Skarmory@Ganlon Berry?
Impish
Drill Peck
Roar
Spikes
Toxic?
EVs: 204 HP, 92 Atk, 180 Def, 64 Speed
*I don't know what to make it hold, or what better than Toxic should go in the fourth slot.


Blissey@Leftovers
Bold
Ice Beam(for Dugtrio)
Aromatherapy
Softboiled
Seismic Toss/Thunderwave
EVs: 216 HP, 252 Def, 40 SAtk
*I can't decide between Thunderwave or Seismic Toss.

Gengar@Leichi Berry or Scope Lens?
Lonely or Hasty?
Thunderbolt
Ice Punch
Substitute
Focus Punch
EVs: 184 Atk, 252 Speed, 74 SAtk
*I am not sure about the EVs. I was thinking about putting Shadow Ball on there somewhere. I also don't know what it should hold.


I chose Gengar instead of Tyraniboah as my SkarmBliss counter becuz with Tyran, I would have a major fighting weakness.

yup, thats fine. Though I like some more HP, and Double-Edge over Return.

IV Guide stickied somewhere.

Skarmory@Leftovers
Impish
Drill Peck
Roar
Spikes
Rest
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 Def -or put more into Defence.

Aromatherapy
Softboiled
Thunder Wave

Use Thunder Wave. Mainly because you lack a Status-iser.

Gengar@Leftovers
Hasty
Thunderbolt
Ice Punch
Substitute
Focus Punch

Evs look ok. Hasty.

DDTar>your team. If you find anyone smart enough to use every pokemon correctly you are in big trouble

I think I will go with Hidden Power Ice, because it gives me max Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense. And where is that IV Guide F_M?

How about Shell Bell on Gengar? I was thinking about putting it on Starmie, but I will not, since it already has Lefties.

Edit: Since someone posted I have a DDTtar weakness, I thought of using this Suicune:

Suicune@Leftovers
Bold
Surf
Calm Mind
Roar
Sleep Talk/Rest(can't decide)
252 HP, 184 Def, 68 Speed

I don't think it needs any Special Attack or Special Defens EVs, becuz of Calm Mind, but I may be wrong. I was also thinking of putting more EVs into Speed, what do u guys think?
