Well, it's been a while that I haven't made an OU team, as the last one I made was when Genesect was released. Who is in this team, obviously, because he's my all-time favorite Pokemon (Curse you, GameFreak for giving Slow Start to my baby .-.). Well, even though he's my favorite Pokemon, I really needed a Genesect counter. UberPwnage (UP) found a great one on ErickHill's question, and I am using that Pokemon who is Rotom-H. I have a Defensive core (Jellicent and Jirachi), paired with a very strong VoltTurn core (Rotom-H and Genesect) and I also added a Dragon destroyer (Mamoswine). For the last member, I struggled a bit. I needed a Special attacker, and I really wanted a Dragon. I went with a very unconventional but awesome Hydreigon set. Here's the team!
The team:
![Mamoswine][1]
Mamoswine (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
![Genesect][2]
Genesect @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Download
EVs: 8 Atk / 248 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- U-turn
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
![Jellicent][3]
Jellicent (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Hex
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
![Jirachi][4]
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 32 Atk / 224 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- Zen Headbutt
- Wish
![Hydreigon][5]
Hydreigon (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Tailwind
- Roost
Well, this guy is my MVP. I can't count the number of times this guy has sweeped the opponent's entire team. It also has a very nice surprise effect. **Tailwind** makes him, and my whole team go faster. **Draco Meteor** hits very hard, and not much can tank one apart from Blissey and Chansey. Even at -2, it can nail me some OHKOs. **Fire Blast** is chosen over secondary STAB attack because it can downright OHKO everything in Sun. **Roost** is very reliable recovery. EVs give me maximum sweeping abilities, while Modest Nature over Timid because of Tailwind. **Life Orb** is the best Item in this situation, as Specs would be useless with Roost and Tailwind.
![Rotom-H][6]
I have hands! (Rotom-H) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
Rotom-H is the best Genesect counter out there. He resists all of normal Scarfed Genesect's moves, and can resist to the rare Giga Drain / HP Ground variants. Only kind of Genesect that can take him down is Techno Blast [Water] variants and HP [Water] variants. The question is: Who uses those? And the answer is: ME! But still, I don't think anyone uses those outside of Rain, and even there. **Overheat** roasts Genesect, and a lot of other Pokemon. **Volt Switch** provides momentum to my team, and makes a VolTurn with Genesect. **Thunderbolt** is additional STAB and is perfect for if I want to stay in. **Trick** can screw walls up, though I'm thinking of replacing it with HP [Grass]. Not sure.
