I have been using this team for a while now and it has been fairly successful, I started out running Calm Mind on Landorus but LeBoss suggested Rock Polish, and I agreed because I was getting revenge killed too often and it also helps with not giving away the fact that he is a special Landorus, helping me to do a etter job in killing opposing special walls, and just sweeping in general. The only thing that is obvious to me right away is that the team needs Rocks, I tried out a lot of new things with this team and I think they worked really well. It is good at catching people off gaurd, as I rarely see Dragon Dance Tyranitar these days, Landorus is almost always physically based, no one really expects Acrobatics on Scizor, Stoutland is almost never seen in OU, and Mismaigius more commonly runs a support set as opposed to Nasty Plot.
Tyranitar @ Expert Belt
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Crunch/Stone Edge
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
I prefer offensive T-tar to defensive T-tar. The idea of setting up while the enemy puts up rocks and all that garbage is rather appealing to me. If I can get up on or two dances, you better hold on to something cuz he isn't stopping for anything but a Mach/Bullet Punch. Dragon Dance makes him one deadly sweeper, Ice Punch hits Ground and Grass types, Earthquake is good coverage, and Crunch/Stone Edge is STAB.
*Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Thunderbolt*
Set Mike gave me, Recover is for recovery, Rapid Spin gets rid of hazards and such, Surf is STAB, and Thunderbolt is coverage.
*Scizor @ Flying Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Acrobatics
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite*
My signature Scizor set, 252 HP gives considerable bulk, and 252 Atk ensures he hits crazy hard. Swords Dance boosts his Attack up to insane levels, and Bullet Punch serves as main STAB. Bug Bite is secondary STAB and Acrobatics is hard-hitting coverage.
*Landorus @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power Ice
- Rock Polish*
I find that very few people predict Special Landorus, which means he is great for taking down opposing physical tanks/walls, as well as just hitting hard. Rock Polish makes him FAST, and Earth Power serves as STAB and nabs a Sheer Force Boost. Focus Blast is coverage and also gets a boost from Sheer Force. Hidden Power Ice is yet more coverage.
*Stoutland @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- Crunch*
Come on Smogon. RU? Really? I honestly think we need to start a movement to get this guy officially renamed Bonecrusher or something. Adamant Choice Band gets his Attack up to an insane 492, not to mention that Sand Rush propels him up to a Speed stat of 518, and let’s face it, that’s ridiculous for an RU pokemon. Once the battle is cleared of opposing Ghost, Steel, and Rock types, I’ve basically won thanks to my Bulldozer puppy. Return is STAB and hits like an Abrams, Superpower is for taking Rock and Steel types, however I prefer not to since choicing Stoutland into a move that lowers his Attack isn’t really the greatest idea. Pursuit may seem repetetive with Crunch, but whenever I predict a switch I can just Pursuit and at least put the hurt on the foe before they switch, and Crunch is for taking Ghosts.
*Mismaguis @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Pain Split
- Hidden Power [Fighting]*
I picked Mismagius knowing that it could absorb Ground and Fighting type moves aimed at team mates, as well as hopefully being fast enough to pick off opposing ghost types before they could get to Starmie and Medicham. While I realize he is weak to ghost, he is also capable of taking ghosts easily. Nasty Plot boosts dat Spatk up to 618, while Shadow Ball is STAB and hits pretty dang hard. Pain Split is makeshift recovery while taking HP from the enemy as well, and HP Fighting is coverage.
