Introduction:
Hi, and welcome to the RMT's of one of the best teams I have made. Ever. I scaled up to my top score on Pokemon Showdown, getting a score of 1678 points while testing and battling. I have never achieved that high ever before. I edited out a lot while testing, for example using Gliscor as a lead now being Rotom-W. I guess its kind of Hyper Offence, with Conkeldurr there to boar through unsuspecting opponents. Mamoswine is there to OHKO some of OU's most dangerous Pokemon, such as Dragon types (Garchomp, Salamence and Dragonite etc.) and with the rising use of Gliscor, the team benefits greatly from Mamoswine's STAB Ice Shard. Well, that's enough talking, let's get to the team!

Team Building Process:
I needed a lead.
And then a good Special Sweeper.
For a Bulky Physical Sweeper.
Then I needed something to take out major threats.
A strong Special Sweeper.
And finally a good late game sweeper to finish off.

The Team:
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp
Rotom-W has saved me in so many places. Yet as a lead, he is awesome. Being able to outspeed majority of OU with 252 Speed EV's and Timid Nature, it is incredibly fast. It stalls up Will-O-Wisp fast, while the opponent tries to attack, and failing due to amazing HP. It doesn't and won't always go well, and sometimes I end up fainting while defeating the opponent as well. Even Even!
___
Victini @ Life Orb
Trait: Victory Star
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Bolt Strike
- Zen Headbutt
- V-create
Now Victini, serves great in this team as a Physcial Sweeper. Volcarona used to be in this position, but I eventually switched it out for Victini due to the Psychic Typing and more potential Speed to back it up. It is epic. Nuff Said :D
_____
Conkeldurr @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Payback
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
Ah here we go. My teams main Physical Sweeper and Powerhouse of them all. I give credits to Ben here as well, for introducing me to this epic set. And I have to say, it is one of the best Fighting type Pokemon I have ever used in my teams. In this slot, Lucario was my initial choice, although due to lack of Bulk, I decided to go for Conk. I have to say, this et has proven itself to be outstanding and has saved me in so many situations.
____
Mamoswine @ Expert Belt
Trait: Thick Fat
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Superpower
- Icicle Spear
Mamoswine, here to go out and wreck the Dragons as well as dealing out numerous Gliscors to their Grave's. This is my favourite set for Mamo, with Ice Shard to OHKO many Dragon Ground and Dragon Flying dual types. Earthquake is the Ground type STAB and Superpower proves to work great with Mamo, due to the fact that I have to switch out almost every KO anyway. Icicle Spear is what I later replaced for Icicle Crash, with more reliability and more Power due to Mamo's bad speed.

Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Dark Pulse
- Psychic
Thunderus-T has proved itself so many times that it deserves a slot on this team. Overall, it has KO'ed more Pokemon than any of my team and has great coverage with its current moveset. It can sweep many teams and yeah I know it has HP Flying. It didn't have any decent and Special Flying type STAB's to go with Specs, so I decided to go with HP Flying just to get STAB which I don't get to hit hard on Venusaur in Sun and other Fighting types.
___
Scizor @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef / 30 Spd
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Bug Bite
- Swords Dance
Alright, I'm getting tired, so this will be quick. Scizor is a great Pokemon to out wit the opponent with Pursuit. I've fooled so many people with this, KO'ing their poor Gengar's and Chandelure's. I just feel like crying when I see those Ghosts go to their grave...again :P But yeah anyway, Bullet Punch is Technician STAB and Bug Bite isn't STAB of course. Just kidding. Swords Dance is great if you can predict a switch.
