OU team

[Mayu808]

So I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I haven't had the time, So here is my team.(Pictures aren't working but I will eventually get some)

Donphan@leftovers
Adamant
Sturdy
Ev's: 252 attack, 252 hp, 6 special defense
-Rapid spin
-Stealth rocks
-Ice shard
-Earthquake

This guy does work. He was originally there for rocks and spin, but he's proved to be quite the boss. Spin and Rocks are obvious. ice shard is for priority and to kill dragons that bother me so. Earthquake for awesome STAB

Weavile@focus sash/life orb
Adamant
Pressure
Ev's: 252 attack, 252 speed, 6 hp
-Ice punch
-Ice shard
-Brick Break
-Pursuit

I love weavile. He's won me quite a few games lately. Ice punch for those pesky dragons (again cause there's so many) and STAB. Ice shard for priority if i just need the kill. Low kick for coverage and night slash for stab and those psychics (I'm looking at you reuniclus). Sash is so that I can at least take one thing down and possibly put one thing to revenge level if needed but I may use life orb for a boost since he is so frail anyways.Brick break was a much superior choice then low kick since the damage was too unreliable at times. Pursuit is used to as well get STAB, but to also trap ghosts and psychics.

Gliscor@toxic orb
Impish
Poison Heal
Ev's: 252 Hp, 108 defense, 148 special defense
-Earthquake
-Ice fang
-Taunt/protect
-Swords dance/protect

Standard gliscor, but it works. Counter excadrill quite hard. earthquake for STAB. Ice fang for coverage (I lol at dragons). Taunt to stop things like conkeldurr from bulking up, swords dance for a nice boost, or possibly protect to stall his healing. Plus, I love switching in on a trick and giving them my toxic orb, then possibly get it back after.

Gastrodon@leftovers
Modest
Storm Drain
Ev's : 252 hp, 136 defense, 120 special defense
-Earth power
-Ice beam
-Recover
-Toxic

After storm drain got that boost, I decided to use gastrodon and it is a baws. Earth power for STAB. Ice beam for dragons (see the trend?) Recover for recovery and toxic for the wonderful status. This guy also works as a rain counter and at times, a thunderus counter if it doesn't have grass knot.

Skarmory@leftovers
Impish
Sturdy
Ev's: 252 hp, 100 defense, 152 special defense
-Whirlwind
-Roost
-Spikes/Brave Bird/Sky drop
-Toxic

I usually don't like using such overused things, but there are some Pokes I just like. Gliscor was one, skarmory is another. Plus, he can usually take on a dragon move like a baws. Anyways, Whirlwind for phazing, roost for recovery, and toxic for stall. Last move is a toss up. Spikes for extra hazards, brave bird for a stab so he's not taunt bait, or sky drop to troll and stall out toxic while damaging something.

Porygon2@eviolite
Bold
Trace
Ev's: 252 hp, 172 defense, 80 special defense
-Recover
-Ice beam/psychic
-Thunderbolt/Charge beam
-Thunder wave/toxic

This things as such great defenses. Add on an eviolit and skyrocket those defenses. Recover is for recovery. Boltbeam combo for coverage (still trolling dragons). I may use charge beam for the special attack boost, but I don't like the accuracy. Thunder wave to cripple fast sweepers, however toxic can work as well. Trace is my favorite ability as it ruins vaporeon, jolteon, dragonite if I'm at full health, and best of all, shedinja. I may use psychic over ice beam though, seeing as I have for pokes with ice moves and a steel type.

-So yeah, this team has worked quite well. Looking at it now, I didnt realize, but this trolls dragons quite hard, especially since there are so many of them. This team isn't perfect, but I'd like your criticism, so fire away. Also, let me know if I missed anything stated in the rules so I can fix it as I tend to miss little things here and there.

... you can only have at max 2 ... of the same [Item] held by pokemon. Sky Drop might be banned from competive battling all together because of a glitch, though i am not really sure. In my opinoin you have to many ice and ground type moves, so i would reccomend running at MAX 2 pokemon pokemon with ice moves, and 2 with ground. Also invest mo[r]e [evs] into your attack/ Special attack. I also reccomend obtaining a physical sweeper, such as Darmanitan (use with sheer force and life orb) to get a fire attack. If you want a bokemon to take hits and still hit hard go with Ferrothorn it will beable to wall very well and do damage with 94 base attack.

Evolite does not work on porygon 2, it only works on Not fully evolved pokemon, such as porygon. However Porygon 2 is fully evolved, so unfortunetly evolite is just useless on it. If i am correct you can only have at max 2 (maybe even only one) of the same held by pokemon. Sky Drop might be banned from competive battling all together because of a glitch, though i am not really sure. In my opinoin you hav e to many ice and ground type moves, so i would reccomend running at MAX 2 pokemon pokemon with ice moves, and 2 with ground. Also invest move into your attack/ Special attack.

>.< Porygon2 isn't fully evolved, Porygon-Z is.

 

[DarumakkaImposter]

Since Rocks is up, replace Night Slash on Weavile with Pursuit. It will OHKO Lati@s, Starmie, and Gengar. But, if you are really worried about Reuniclus, keep Night Slash. Oh yeah, and he can only have 508 max EVs so no 6HP. Unless you gave it a Vitamin or something.

So, yeah, I hate to sound rude, but I can't take anything you say seriously after the first part about porygon2. I play on PO and regular wifi when I finish training, so there is no item clause (unless someone puts it on) sky drop I'm pretty sure is banned on reandom matchup, but nowhere else. Yeah, I have a lot of ground and ice but no one said I had to change, it's fine in my eyes. Weavile is really my physical hitter but gliscor can too with swords dance. Lastly, I refuse to use ferrothorn. He's so overrated it's not even funny.

@darumakaimposter, thank you for the advice, Reuniclus is an issue, but I think pursuit may work better to trap and kill ghosts and psychics. Totally forgot it has pursuit so I just went with night slash. And as I said, I play on PO, so for some reason, they make the max ev total 510, so I have 6 leftover if I use 252/252 set up. Not sure why.

 

[Vandslaux]

Maybe use both T-Wave and Toxic on P2, crippling sweepers with T-Wave, and crippling walls with Toxic?

 

[Mayu808]

Hmm... That sounds like a good idea, but I do enjoy the bolt beam coverage. Without either moves, I'm walled to hell and back by either gastrodon or a steel type that isn't ground. So, I think I'll just stick with t-wave for now. Unless someone can give me a better reason.

Hey mayumayumayumayu I'm a noob lololol

Donphan works pretty well in a defensive set like Hippowdon, impish with 252 HP / 252 Def. It can wall physicall sweepers and set up rocks, 252 attack EVs are useless anyways when facing for example, Rotom-W.

For Weavile, try a Sword Dance set: Jolly, Life Orb/Focus sash, Sword dance, ice punch/ice shard, night slash, ice shard/low kick/brick break. One Sword dance and you'll sweep almost anything, and even OHKO a Bold Reuniclus.

For gliscor, use this EV spread: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Speed, so you can outspeed some things and taunt them first.

For gastrodon, make it Calm with 252 HP / 252 Spdef so you can have a Sp. Wall to stop Rotom-W and other bulky waters.

Stay with t-wave, recover and boltbeam on porygon2. Toxic + twave isn't good, you would have no recover and Excadrill is inmune to both.

Run this moveset for Skarm: Brave Bird, Spikes, Whirlwind, Taunt/roost. If you're going for Taunt, put some speed EVs so you can outspeed taunt users such as Jellicent.

And i think that's all lulzzzzz

If your a noob, why are your rating teams? Jk, thanks for the rate. I'm most likely going to go with what you said for donphan, gliscor, and skarmory without taunt. I may try out the swords dance set for weavile, but I like my revenge killer weavile. Also, gastrodon walls bulky waters hard with storm drain, as he gains power from their stab, which is what I do when a rotom wash comes in.

Now, I've been playing and after many, many hax filled losses (my luck is terrible) I've come to the conclusion that I need a ferro counter. I hate him so much. If anybody could help, it would be very appreciated.

 

[Kerosene]

Conkeldurr, mienshao, and heatran work pretty well at killing ferro.

 

[MetalSonic]

What did those Dragons do 2 you?...

 

[darkrai's_shadow]

what didnt they do to all of us? anyway, i noticed your team consists of mostly walls and tanks, maybe try to add a real special sweeper? maybe you can try switching skarmory for scizor? i know skarmory has a purpose, but scizor can destroy

 

[Mayu808]

What did those Dragons do 2 you?...

It's not that they did anything, I just happened to make a team that trolls dragons. Everytime someone sends in a latios I laugh really hard and watch the onslaught if ice moves. It's pretty funny. On to more on topic things, I think a bulk up conkeldurr should work. I don't like to use such overused pokes, but I like conkeldurr, especially his name I'll add it in later.

 

[PokefanTez]

What, you didn't want to add an ice type attack to Skarmory too? lol.
Anyway, you should add brick break to Weavile instead of Low kick. Brick break does more reliable damage than low kick and has the added bonus of getting rid of screens. Also you should use pursuit on weavile instead of night slash.

Yeah, skarmory was all like "I don't wanna" so I just said fine and didn't give him one lol. But yeah, I have been using pursuit and it works wonders, however low kick helped me maybe once or twice so Ill change it to brick break.

On another note, if someone could recommend what to drop for conkeldurr, that'd be great. Last thing is thanks for all the rates so far.

 

[darkrai's_shadow]

another option you can do is DD scrafty because it can learn ice punch! lol

i would maybe drop gliscor, skarmory can block excadril good enough

Oh my god why didn't I see that? nah, scrafty is cool, but he adds another issue with fighting. I'll try a DD set for scrafty and then conkeldurr over gliscor. Then I'll just see which worked better.
