★ ♒ CS OU Volt♲Turn Abuse! ~ Synergy at it's best. ♒ ★

Question

Super long Intro + Preview + Synergy

This team CLEARLY is resistant to every single type of move, and it has hardly any weaknesses. There is no stealth rock weakness, and two pokemon can evade both spikes. And with a rapid spinner, entry hazards aren't even a problem. Since VoltTurn puts so many people Honedge, (#worldplay) what is the problem? I've seen so many VoltTurn RMTs lately, and they came out after this team was already made. Now everyone is going to think I copied off of them ._. but I'd rather get hung for a sheep than a lamb, if that even works here.

Teamwork!

Key : SDef = Special Defense | Spd = Speed | You know the rest.

Tech-niche-ian (Scizor) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Roost
I started out with Scizor mainly because he makes a great VoltTurn core with Rotom-Wash. The only reason I didn't run band is because I wanted to be able to choose different moves to use and roost. I also wanted Landorus on the team and he is just as good with band. Anyways, you cant have a team without priority, and every Scizor has Bullet Punch. It gets STAB and isn't bad with technician. U-Turn is also STAB and another good reason why Scizor is a good candidate for this team. Superpower hits really hard and provides extra coverage. Since i'm gonna be taking a lot of damage from the opponent + Life Orb I am gonna need Roost. Also if I haven't Rapid Spun yet and hazards are on the field I can roost the damage.

This is a pretty nice team with great synergy (hence why I voted up) but I would not go as far to say it is a solid team as it does have some major problems which you really need to think about.

First of all I am really not liking the fact your team doesn't function to well without Forretress. The problem is that Landorus-T can no longer afford to take hits as it lacks the investment in Def and has no reliable recovery. It also takes a pretty nasty chunk from stealth rocks every time it switches in which will be pretty often with the play style. I just don't like the fact that you rely so heavily on a Pokemon that is trapped so easily be Magnezone which is becoming increasingly popular in OU.

Your second problem is the fact your team is slow. It may have nice synergy but no Pokemon can afford to take hits all day. Pokemon like Landorus-T die very quickly with a band.

Finally your biggest problem is Sun. Seen as you are running a CS team this puts you at a massive disadvantage to sun teams in particular. Venasaur clean OHKOs every Pokemon on the team par Landorus-T and Forre (not that Forre can hit back). Your team could maybe abuse sand. The majority of your team doesn't mind it +it will really help in the long run having a check to other weather. I wouldn't know who to change however as it doesn't really fit the style of the team.

---

Venusaur's sometimes run HP fire.

---

Sturdy....

---

Venasaur almost always runs HP fire hence why I said 2hko (as Mew mentioned Sturdy) :P

---

I always add teambuilding processes. So this team isn't done yet .3. And is undefeated but im not sure if everyone who ladders now is a noob or if this team is good. If I lose I will definitely fix whatever problem my team has. Thanks for the feedback tho, and I will heed your knowledge about Forretress and Weather.

You really need a scarfer actually, because now that I've looked that the team Volcarona seems to ruin it. And Volcarona running Giga Drain (A lot of Volcarona's run Giga Drain) can just demolish this team even at 1 Quiver Dance and if it's at full health I don't think Rotom's Hydro Pump can kill it. Volc can easily 2HKO Landorus and then from there on it's GG. However, a scarfer that runs a rock type move can easily take out Volc at +1, which is why I'm suggesting Scarfed Landorus-T. This doesn't replace any Pokemon, so not ruining the synergy, but it can take out one of OU's biggest threats.

---

Volcarona with Quiver Dance outspeeds Scarfed Lando Theriam

---

No it doesn't.. Not if you are Jolly and Volc only has +1

---

Jolly Scarfed Therian doesn't hit hard enough for comfort. Even if it is Jolly I don't think I can count on stone edge to kill because miss hax, also Volcarona can set up more QDances than one ._.

---

My point is Volcarona is a big threat to this team, and can wreck it, and you're only viable counter is Landoorus-T.

---

Or red card forretress :P but if his card is gone and landorus cant kill it, then yeah volcarona sweeps from there

---

are you srsly counting on an one time use item to save you xD pls gligurr you're better than that

---

Recycle is on forretress tho
