TEAM ULTIMATE AURA
Hello! Ok I think this is the best team i've ever made and a win about 80% of my games, your job is to make it 100%. This team is mainly about offense,designed to sweep until the cows come home, but there is a bit of bulk in there too. Like every team, this team has problems and i've come to you guys to fix it for me.
To keep you interested, here is my team...

Like every team, this team has problems and i've come to you guys to fix it for me.
To keep you interested, here is my team...
I intend to use this team both on Wifi and Shoddy battle. I've made a number of teams but i think this one is by far the best i've used so far, thats why im posting it... Funnily enough I didn't originally make it so that it would be good, I made it mostly out of pokemon I like and then somehow I figured out all of them covered each others weaknesses and all gave something to the team, sort of. I'd also like to boast that I only have 1 Stealth Rock weakness and 4 resistances to it. Also this team does not have more than 2 weaknesses of the same type and for every weakness there is a resistance.
Time for the team itself, it's down there.
LEAD AND PHYSICAL WALL
Swampert @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed (+ def, - spe)
Ability: Torrent
Evs: 240 hp / 216 def / 52 spa
Ivs: 30 / 28 / 31 / 31 / 26 / 6
Stealth Rock
Roar
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Swampert is a great mixed lead, in my opinion anyway. It's main job is to get Stealth Rock up either early or at least mid game which it does phenomenally well...although I could be half asleep and keep him in on a Grass Knot. After it has set up Stealth Rock it can proceed to Roar in the case of the opponent setting up or because I can't harm the opponent in any serious way, or it could either use Ice Beam or Earthquake to take out as many dragons and stuff as it can before dying. The Relaxed nature is to promote it's defence which it needs as a bulky lead. I've just gotta say Torrent is completely useless but never mind. With most of my team benefiting from the Stealth Rock damage possibly built up from the Roaring it is a great asset to my team which can only be replaced with something that does the same job much better...oh wait there is no pokemon that can do that. Swampert is a unique lead that does exactly what it needs to to support my team. If im wrong which I probably am punch me, softly.
Swamperts weaknesses:
Grass - resisted by: Lucario, Jirachi, Gengar
REVENGE KILLER
Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant (+ att, - spa)
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 252 att / 180 spe / 76 hp
Ivs: 30 / 31 / 31 / 16 / 26 / 30
Outrage
Earthquake
Stone Edge
U-Turn
Flygon is my awesome revenge killer obviously holding a Choice Scarf. Thanks to Levitate and its good resistances to fire and ground this killer earned a place on my team. Garchomps little brother is almost as good as Garchomp himself, in a different way. With Outrage and Earthquake theres almost nothing that wont be affected by these amazingly powerful STABed attacks. With Stone Edge Flygon can hit Gyarados super effectively along with others like Salamence. U-Turn permits Flygon to come in and out against Azelfs and Starmies which will really wear the enemy down. The Adamant nature makes up for the not so great attack stat but coupled with the speed of the Choice Scarf this pokemon can race anything to a good OHKO. With its attacks and excellent STAB moves (Outrage and Earthquake) which go over 150 power each this is definitely not a pokemon to underestimate, it might just be the last thing you ever do.
Flygons weaknesses:
Ice - resisted by: Lucario, Jirachi
Dragon - resisted by: Lucario, Jirachi
CM SUB SWEEPER
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Nature: Timid (+ spe, - att)
Ability: Serene Grace
Evs: 252 hp / 80 spa / 176 spe
Ivs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31
Flash Cannon
Thunderbolt
Substitute
Calm Mind
The Calm Mind variant of Jirachi. With Flash Cannon and Thunderbolt this set provides excellent coverage and amazing defences creating an almost flawless pokemon. Jirachi has 100 in all his base stats making him one of the most flexible pokemon imaginable. With Thunderbolt Jirachi can take out major threats like Gyarados and maybe Scizor in two hits as Scizor will not be able to harm it much with Bullet Punch. Jirachi also has excellent typing which provides some key immunities and resistances and along with all the other pokemon this one fits in nicely. With Substitute and Calm Mind this set can really annoy Blissey muahahaha and I really hate Blissey so that's good. The only other thing I can say about Jirachi is that it's so cute and the rest is pretty self explanatory and no one can say this set is not good if they have faced it before.
Jirachis weaknesses:
Fire - resisted by: Gyarados, Flygon, Swampert
Ground - resisted by: Gyarados, Flygon, Gengar
GHOSTLY SPECIAL SWEEPER
Gengar @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid (+ spe, - att)
Ability:Levitate
Evs: 252 spe / 252 spa / 4 def
Ivs: 12 / 4 / 28 / 31 / 30 / 31
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Substitute
Gengar is my awesome special sweeper paired with awesome coverage. With these three offensive moves Gengar can hit every OU for at least neutral damage which is very important to Gengar because of its low defences. One of Gengars jobs which is not entirely what I chose him for was I can lure out Scizors ready to kill Gengar with BP, then I can switch to Gyarados and set up. As well as this Gengar can also block Explosions and Rapid Spins which are really annoying. With high base spa and spe paired with a Timid nature this makes one of the fastest most dangerous threats in OU and with Substitute and excellent coverage too this is not a pokemon to be messed with. When I think Scizor will switch in to kill Gengar or maybe it could be a Tyranitar ill just Substitute which helps me get a hit in on both of them, if I predict wrong...thats another story. This guy also helps with the two ground weaknesses that I have and the one fighting weakness. This thing can switch in on all sorts of attacks and get an attack in on a slower pokemon for a OHKO. A major help to my team.
Gengars weaknesses:
Ghost - resisted by: Lucario
Dark - reisted by: Lucario
Psychic - resisted by: Jirachi
PHYSICAL SWEEPER
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant (+ att, - spa)
Ability: Intimidate
Evs: 152 hp / 136 att / 68 def / 152 spe
Ivs: 31 / 31 / 21 / 17 / 23 / 30
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Ice Fang
Taunt
Gyarados is my Dragon Dancing sweeper that loves to switch in on Scizor and set up. Gyarados is primarily my Dragon Dance sweeper but also works well as a Scizor and Heatran counter which are just a few of the countless more. This is one of the only pokemon in my collection who approaches the battle with a more defensive strategy as the power and speed can come with the Dragon Dances. After this thing has had one or two dances it becomes a monster stopping at nothing, not even Starmie or Jolteon (Gyarados's arch enemies) if Gyarados is fast enough. I chose Ice Fang over Stone Edge as I really hate moves with low accuracy, I really can't stand them, plus Ice Fang hits dragons and stuff much harder where Stone Edge could not. Taunt helps with Skarmory and Blissey as the Taunt will really mess up Spikes and Thunder Waves rendering walls useless muahahaha. This beast also works well with my other pokemon especially Lucario and Jirachi as he resists all their weaknesses and in return whatever Gyarados can't beat, Jirachi or Lucario can easily. With the almighty ability Intimidate it can make all physical sweepers much less scary for a short while which enourmously helps my frail pokemon to sweep.
Gyarados's weaknesses:
Electric - resisted by: Flygon, Swampert
Rock - resisted by: Flygon, Swampert, Lucario, Jirachi
LATE GAME SWEEPER AND THE STAR OF THE SHOW
Lucario @ Life Orb
Nature: Jolly (+ spe, - spa)
Ability: Steadfast
Evs: 252 att / 252 spe / 4 hp
Ivs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31
Swords Dance
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Shadow Claw - currently working on Crunch with top Ivs.
Lucario is my late game sweeper and most prized possession on the team. When Lucario sets up with a +2 attack boost pretty much nothing stands in its way as all ghosts are koed by Shadow Claw, faster frail pokemon should be owned by ExtremeSpeed and anything thats slower than Lucario and not resistant to fighting is no doubt OHKOd by Close Combat even SkarmBliss is afraid of a Swords Danced Lucario as it rips through teams like tin foil. ExtremeSpeed is used for frail pokemon like Infernape killing them in one go thanks to Swords Dance, Close Combat does exactly the same but for slower pokemon and Close Combat has one hundred more power and thats only if it's hitting neutrally. Without the ghostly Shadow Claw this set would be walled by ghosts and with the high critical hit rate, now they don't stand a chance. No doubt the best late game sweeper in OU and pretty much all the other tiers. This pokemon with this set can potentially sweep a whole team so watch out! Oh and in case you are wondering which I guarantee you are, I'm using Shadow Claw because I've already bred a perfect Lucario and I can't be asked to do it again with Crunch, and the critical hit rate really helps too.
Lucarios weaknesses:
Ground - resisted by: Gyarados, Flygon, Gengar
Fire - resisted by: Flygon, Gyarados, Swampert
Fighting - resisted by: Gengar, Gyarados
Feel free to comment, improve and change. If anyone dares suggest Infernape...I hate Infernape. I don't like Scizor much either.
Small threat list:
Machamp: Really annoying with DynamicPunch and I can't really switch in Gyarados because of Stone Edge. At the moment i just send in Jirachi or Lucario and hope I kill him before he kills me.
Breloom: I hate Spore! He always sends a good pokemon to sleep and then either Leech Seeds or Substitutes or Focus Punches. I normally let Swampert take sleep and switch in Gengar. Any more ideas?
Latias: Normally takes down at least one of my pokemon and with such high defences I can't really OHKO with Flygon's Outrage and if it has a Scarf it normally hits back hard.
Metagross: Can be annoying with Explosion and I never know when to switch in to Gengar, if i switch it in too early Gengar could be killed by Bullet Punch.
Electivire: If it comes in on one of my electric attacks it can sweep about half my team before it goes down. If it's already weakened i send in Lucario for the ExtremeSpeed, otherwise attack with whatever I can.
Time for the team itself, it's down there.
