At a Glance:
That Lame OU Team

73.png
442.png


First Off:
478.png

Froslass @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 Atk[!], 252 Speed, 4 Def.
Nature: Timid

Spikes
Wake-Up Slap [!]
Destiny Bond
Thunder Wave

You: "Wake-Up Slap!?"
Yes, I heard you. I noticed practically every annoying team that had a Tyranitar would send it out on her, Crunch her to the Sash, then let Sandstorm do the rest. So? Wake-Up Slap. Odd I know, but the main switch ins for this gal are Tyranitar and Ferrothorn, a common Fighting Weakness.
The rest of the set is common sense. Thunder Wave is to catch switches, and possibly pull some shenanigans with hax.

479.png

Arghargh, I couldn't find the Rotom Wash sprite, I'm sorry! D; If you have a link, could you share it with me? Many thanks in the future!
Rotom-W@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 124 Sp. Atk, 44 Sp. Def, 88 Speed
Nature: Modest

Volt Switch
Will-O-Wisp
Hidden Power Fire
Hydro Pump

Pretty standard set with a little added bulk, enough speed for Gliscor and friends, HP Fire for Le Thorn. Not much to say here.

248.png

Sorry in advance;
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Defense, 4 Sp. Atk, 252 Sp. Def
Nature: Sassy (+sp. Def, -Speed)

Fire Blast
Ice Beam
Crunch
Stealth Rock

Pretty standard set once more, I like the Sp. Defensive bulk, and late game rocks never hurt.

212.png

The Destroyer of Paper:
Scizor @ Focus Sash [!]
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk, 216 Sp. Def, 40 Speed.
Nature: Adamant

Bullet Punch
Bug Bite
Superpower
Swords Dance

Again, standard set, I like the Focus Sash - a special treat for Heatran, and yes, I have the Rapid Spinner. The Sp. Def bulk is because 80% of Special Pokes these days are rockin' the HP Fire. :3

73.png

A Break from the Standard! :D
Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 Speed, 4 Def.
Nature: Timid

Scald
HP Fire
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin

Yes, yes, he's Poison type! So, Black Sludge. Also great for taking Tricks since Rotom isn't Choiced, and Liquid Ooze is nice novelty for Le Thorn. And yes, Timid 252 - Did you not know he was fast? Reaches a nice 327, not 328 since HP Fire brings you to 30 Speed EVs :\

442.png

No Such Thing as an Unsafe Switch:
Spiritomb @ Choice Specs [!]
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 216 Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 40 Sp. Def
Nature: Bold

Hidden Power Fighting
Dark Pulse
Shadow Ball
Psychic

I personally love this guy, since I have all hazards, a ghost is a must have. His stats mean he can take one, and a nice 420 Sp. Atk means his Moveset will usually bring him a kill. Bold because of Crunches.

Rate Freely! :D

@ Froslass: Why run Timid nature when its only attacking move is Wake-up Slap? I would change it to Jolly.

@ Tyranitar: I really dunno why your running him lol cause only one of yar Pokes isnt hurt by it it apart from itself. The only purpose you may have him is to mes with other weather teams. Is that why hes here?
 

noob21

3 sum!!!
This is a great team but I dont see the use in Tyranitar? The only advantage this team gets from his sand storm is tyranitar?! Other then that this is a pretty diverse team and very unpredictable

^ Link to Rotom-Wash Forme. Just remove the first space in the bracket that says IMG
Also, Focus Sash on Scizor is useless. I know you said it was for Heatran, but you have 3 pokes that can handle Heatran (Rotom-W, Tentacruel, Spiritomb to some extent). Life orb/Lefties is much better

Froslass @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 Atk[!], 252 Speed, 4 Def.
Nature: Jolly, maybe Adamant (Timid reduces Atk)

Spikes
Wake-Up Slap [!]
Destiny Bond
Thunder Wave

Interesting and unique set there... Adamant may be an idea if you want Wake Up Slap to have more power (which it needs), but Jolly lets you keep the speed. I'd say it's up to you

Rotom-W@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 124 Sp. Atk, 44 Sp. Def, 88 Speed
Nature: Modest

Volt Switch/Discharge/Thunderbolt
Will-O-Wisp
Hidden Power Fire
Hydro Pump

Pretty standard set with a little added bulk, enough speed for Gliscor and friends, HP Fire for Le Thorn. Not much to say here.

Volt Switch has its uses but you may want to consider running a Special Electric move instead due to your Modest nature

248.png

Sorry in advance;
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Defense, 4 Sp. Atk, 252 Sp. Def
Nature: Sassy (+sp. Def, -Speed)

Fire Blast
Ice Beam
Crunch
Stealth Rock

Pretty standard set once more, I like the Sp. Defensive bulk, and late game rocks never hurt.

He seems fine to me, but as said above, Sand Stream may be a problem for most of your team. You could probably run Metagross, Swampert or Jirachi as a mixed SR user instead

212.png

The Destroyer of Paper:
Scizor @ Focus Sash [!]/Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk, 216 Sp. Def, 40 Speed.
Nature: Adamant

Bullet Punch
Bug Bite/Roost
Superpower
Swords Dance

Again, standard set, I like the Focus Sash - a special treat for Heatran, and yes, I have the Rapid Spinner. The Sp. Def bulk is because 80% of Special Pokes these days are rockin' the HP Fire. :3

Classic Scizor. :) Roost can also be considered if you want so he'll last longer, especially with Life Orb if you choose to run it

73.png

A Break from the Standard! :D
Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 Speed, 4 Def.
Nature: Timid

Scald/Hex
HP Fire
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin/Hex

Yes, yes, he's Poison type! So, Black Sludge. Also great for taking Tricks since Rotom isn't Choiced, and Liquid Ooze is nice novelty for Le Thorn. And yes, Timid 252 - Did you not know he was fast? Reaches a nice 327, not 328 since HP Fire brings you to 30 Speed EVs :\

Very nice. Hex could be slashed in there to take advantage of Toxic Spikes a little more

442.png

No Such Thing as an Unsafe Switch:
Spiritomb @ Leftovers/Wise Glasses/Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 216 Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 40 Sp. Def
Nature: Bold

Hidden Power Fighting
Nasty Plot
Shadow Ball
Psychic/Pain Split

I personally love this guy, since I have all hazards, a ghost is a must have. His stats mean he can take one, and a nice 420 Sp. Atk means his Moveset will usually bring him a kill. Bold because of Crunches.

Erm... I don't see why you'd use Choice Specs on a slow pokemon with low HP when Nasty Plot is an option.
Dark Pulse & Shadow Ball also have the exact same power & coverage, but Shadow Ball's SDef drop is more useful than Dark Pulse's flinch chance.
Pain Split is your only mode of recovery (and well advised if you run Life Orb) and can be considered because HP Fighting & Shadow Ball alone give you perfect coverage for sweeping.

Rate Freely! :D

Team rated. Changes in Bold :)

Your advice has been taken, and I edited the team a bit, thanks! :]

Spikes
Hidden Power Fighting
Destiny Bond
Thunder Wave

Holdupholdup, what was I thinking. Hidden Power has more power. :3

th152RotomWash2.png

Many thanks to Infectious for the sprite!
Rotom-W@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 124 Sp. Atk, 44 Sp. Def, 88 Speed
Nature: Modest

Thunderbolt
Will-O-Wisp
Hidden Power Fire
Hydro Pump

Replaced Volt Switch with Thunderbolt, not Discharge because I don't want to wind up Paralyzing say, a Ferrothorn that comes in, or anything that I might need to burn.

149.png

Say what you want:
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Nature: Sassy
EVs: 124 HP, 124 Def., 252 Sp. Def, 8 Sp. Atk.

Draco Meteor
Roost
Earthquake
Fire Punch / Fire Blast

Say what you want about this set, but it works. 328 Sp. Def is nothing to laugh at, and while Tentacruel is already my dedicated Sp. Wall, he tends not to be the one to get work done, well, this set takes down all the walls that move in on Dragons, Fire Punch is not great for Skarmory, but tends to work on the more specially oriented Ferrothorn sets. Fire Blast is of course an option, but they tend to come in after Draco Meteor.



212.png

The Destroyer of Paper:
Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk, 216 Sp. Def, 40 Speed.
Nature: Adamant

Bullet Punch
Bug Bite
Superpower
Swords Dance

Alright Rough, went with your Life Orb this time, no room for originality I guess :p Ahh well, the Heatran weakness is definetly more than covered.

73.png

A Break from the Standard! :D
Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 Speed, 4 Def.
Nature: Timid

Scald
HP Fire
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin

I'm sticking with this set, it hasn't once let me down. Hex may work great with Toxic Spikes, but I have no way to roll pokes into them, and Scald / HP Fire works VERY nicely in this Metagame.

442.png

No Such Thing as an Unsafe Switch:
Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 216 Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 40 Sp. Def
Nature: Bold

Hidden Power Fighting
Nasty Plot
Shadow Ball
Pain Split

I really liked Roughneck's set, Shadow Ball + HP Fight wont score as many super effective blows, but has perfect coverage. :]
Pain Split for obvious Reasons, and the low health. This set works well sent in on Thunder Waved pokes.


Keep up the positive comments, I really like this team, and it's getting better :]
 
I run a defensive Scizor set, not that I force you to use it, but just an idea :)P):

Scizor@ Leftovers, Technician
EVs: 252 HP/40 Att/216 SDef
Adamant
- Swords Dance
- Bug Bite
- Bullet Punch
- Roost
Works quite well. Uhm..

- Pain Split over Hidden Power Fire on Rotom imo. You'll lose the Ferrothorn check but you got Tentacruel for that, but gives Rotom some kind of recovery.

- Other suggestion for Dragonite:
Dragonite @ Leftovers, Multiscale
EVs: 252HP/212SDef/44HP
Careful
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
My personal favorite.

No other suggestions.

@03Juice thanks for the advice - I like your Scizor set, I just threw in Brick Break, since Fighting seems to destroy the meta game right now. I think I'll test that out on this team, but that would be my 4th Leftovers holder, and I really like having Scizor as my prime priority wielder.

Scizor@ Leftovers, Technician
EVs: 252 HP/40 [/B]/216 SDef
Adamant
- Brick Break
- Bug Bite
- Bullet Punch
- Roost


About Rotom,
"-Pain Split over Hidden Power Fire on Rotom imo. You'll lose the Ferrothorn check but you got Tentacruel for that, but gives Rotom some kind of recovery."

I really don't want Ferrothorn to be able to get a free Power Whip on Tentacruel, considering I'll likely use it for TSpikes once Ferrothorn is out of the way.

Again, I like your Dragonite set, obviously you had a brain fart with the EVs there XD
I'll assume the 44 is Speed. I like Bulky Dragon Dance, so I'll test that one too. :]

Thanks!! :D
