It's All Ogre (A B/W2 OU Team)

Question

Ohai there. My name is Once. I have recently created this team and have a fair amount of success with it. This team was created to have a very underrated threat come in and sweep the opposing team. The Pokemon itself is already considered a threat, but the set itself is very underrated. So without further ado, I present my team.

P.S. The Pokemon I'm speaking of is SubCM Keldeo.

The Team

@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- X-scissor
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

After changing Tentacruel to Heatran with Stealth Rock, I didn't need that stupid Sash Terrakion set. With this, I have a much better check to Thundurus-T as it outspeeds every variant and always OHKOs with Stone Edge, provided that it hits, but its better than it's Focus Blast. It also gives me a revenge killer and a late game cleaner. Of course Close Combat is always on Terrakion, unless you want a screen breaker. Earthquake and X-scissor is for coverage against Fires, Psychics, etc. With a sweeper spread and a Jolly Nature, I'm getting all I payed for with Terrakion's base 108 Speed. Justified is Terrakion's only ability but its nice, even though no one is going to use a Dark type move on this team.

@ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Secret Sword

We need a sprite for Keldeo-Resolute, y'know. Anyway, this is my main Pokemon. It utilizes substitute to absorb status and potentially get up some safe Calm Minds. I'm using it's to STAB choices as attacks. Instead of Hydro Pump I use Surf for the accuracy and am not using Scald for the power. Secret Sword is a cool move because it is basically a fighting type Psyshock that can punish Blissey. Lefties keeps up his survivability and will replenish lost health from Substitute. I have a sweeper based EV spread with the final 4 EVs placed into Special Defense to compliment Calm Mind. This set has 4 annoying counters; Jellicent, Lati@s, and Celebi, which my next two Pokemon can counter.

@ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit

I've always liked Scizor in OU. It serves in so many roles. It can act as a revenge-killer with a Technician-STAB-boosted priority Bullet Punch. It can scout the opponent with a STAB U-turn. Then there's Pursuit letting Scizor become a very effective Pursuit-trapper as Technician is like a pseudo-STAB. Finally this set is rounded out with Superpower to hit Ferrothorn and anything else. Scizor also effectively counters the Lati twins and Celebi with U-turn. The EV spread allows Scizor not to be 2HKO'd by some Pokemon, if it is still in. It also allows me to inflict some pain onto anything not resisting it, along with a Choice Band. And finally, 4 SpD because that's where they fit.

@ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Rest

Shaymin is my best counter to Jellicent. It's Seed Flare threatens it so bad, that I haven't been able to see it OHKO Jelli as it just doesn't stay in on it. STAB Seed Flare can halve your Pokemon's Special Defense, so I basically get to 2HKO anything that I land that effect on. Earth Power is such a cool coverage move as Heatran looks like a joke after getting hit by it. Hidden Power deals with a very pesky Gliscor. Rest is what makes this set just so great as I heal off Shaymin perfectly and get rid of that status on the switch. Life Orb is hurting anything at the cost of 10% of my HP. Like Keldeo and Terrakion I've implemented the fast sweeper EV spread.
@ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / Spe
Impish Nature
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Protect
- Earthquake

Without Gliscor, there would be no checks to most fighting Pokemon, especially Breloom. See, Pokemon like Breloom could just punch anything because I had no Fighting resistances or immunities. Gliscor also gives me perfect synergy with the team. Anyway, anybody who has used or faced this guy knows how annoying he can be. If you don't know, first poison a Pokemon, then stall the **** out of them with Protect+Substitute. Another thing to note is that Gliscor is almost immune to status which means Breloom's Spore won't get the job done. The EV spread maximizes bulk and really pumps it physically with an Impish Nature. The 72 Speed allows me to beat Breloom and others.

@ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Toxic
- Roar

So Specially Defensive Heatran to complement Physically Defensive Skarmory, why not? This team had some pretty rough time with Sun teams. Actually, just Venusaur. I probably still need a Pokemon to be sleep fodder so I can get to it more effectively just in case it has HP [Ground] instead of [Fire] but that doesn't happen, and if it does, there is always Shaymin. Anyway, I also have a great FWG core with Keldeo and Shaymin. Stealth Rock is a must have for team relying on quick safe kills. Toxic is to work down any Pokemon who isn't Steel, Poison, or Breloom and Gliscor. Roar brings in new Pokemon and helps rack up the damage for kills later. Air Balloon throws that Ground weakness out the window, well until its broken. 252 EVs invested in the Special Defense along with a Calm nature and more EVs in HP gives incredible special bulk.

Well that's the team. If you want you should go try this team, it's pretty fun to use. The coolest part about this team is that there are no duplicated items and no duplicated moves. I figured I'd just put the importable and the team building process in an answer. Y'know, the fun stuff.

Comments

So I changed Tentacruel to Heatran and am now using scarfed Terrakion, which will always outspeed and OHKO Thundurus with Stone Edge. I'm way too lazy to do it right now.

EDIT: Done

So, just as an update on this team. I went 30-11 (this includes the team with Tentacruel and Stealth Rock Terrakion) with 1774 points. I've decided to change my Showdown name to ladder faster.

Put Scald on Keldeo and get out Surf

I don't even care if this is necro-posting, but who downvoted this to 1?

Oh, shoot, I did it as a joke earlier and forgot to Re- Upvote.

My bad Once.

Answer 1

Team Building Process

Well, if you read the beginning of my RMT, you would know that this team is based around SubCM Keldeo. You see, a Pokemon like Keldeo is basically a good fit on almost every team, as it is considered the best Scarfer in the game. Well, this Keldeo does not hold a Choice Scarf. It holds the Leftovers. Keldeo can come in and threaten Tyranitar with Secret Sword, that will obviously kill it and on the switch put up a Substitute. Same goes for other popular Pokemon like Heatran, Blissey, and even the frailer Pokemon like Gengar, as they expect to be outspeed and killed. There was a downside to This Keldeo, though. It only knows two moves in Surf and Secret Sword. This means Pokemon like Jellicent, Lati@s, and Celebi wall it to no end. How could I solve this problem? Well, I had 5 slots and it was knd of easy to figure that CB Scizor could get the job done, no problem. Also, Celebi was added to be the check to Jellicent. Scizor can Bullet Punch anything not resisting and probably end up with a KO in hand. A powerful U-turn could help build up momentum and Pursuit could always Pursuit kill. Celebi was a defensive approach which used moves like Recover and and Thunder Wave to get into opponents' heads. Giga Drain could beat the Jellyfish and shrug off the burn on the switch. It's U-turn also could hurt the other aforementioned threats. It seemed like we were going in the right direction. What was the next move? I figured a Pokemon like Keldeo needed some time to setup and the one thing that ruins setup Pokemon like this is Toxic Spikes. To ensure that I I had TS off the field I figured a grounded-Poison type Pokemon would work best. Specially Defensive Tentacruel was thus added to the team. To go along with it I added Custap Skarmory. The two formed a decent defensive core of Special and Physical walls.Tentacruel also functioned as my spinner, able to spin away Stealth Rock and layers of Spikes. It could also annoy with Knock Off to frustrate, well, anybody. Skarmory was cool, too. It almost guaranteed Spikes if Sturdy was intact and can ensure a second if Sturdy is up. It could also phaze out a Pokemon and hurt some Pokemon with Brave Bird only to have that damage with Roost. Finally, I just wanted a Pokemon to set up Stealth Rock and who better than Terrakion (well, every other Pokemon who learns it)? Actually Terrakion is a pretty cool "rocker"(?), who has great Speed and with a Sash attached could easily set up Stealth Rocks. It also carried Taunt, making it a great anti-lead. It also rack up kills pretty quickly with powerful STAB moves.

That was the first phase. In this phase, Keldeo's sweeps were actually the only way of winning easily, and you know your team is in trouble if that is the case. I had to think of other ways to rely on more sweepers. Scizor could pick off quite bit of Pokemon, but I don't really consider him, a Pokemon doing constant switching, a sweeper. This team was also quite slow it could be rattled by scarfers. One thing that actually allowed this team to win any games was the prominence of rain. Christ, that crap was just about everywhere. And if it so well against rain it would do great against sun, right? Nope, sorry. Dream on. It was Venusaur who pissed me off, so. It's Sleep Powder was quick and annoying and it could HP [Fire] Pokemon who resisted it's Solarbeam. 4 of my Pokemon were weak to it's STABs and Terrakion could be beaten if Focus Miss didn't miss.

From here I switched Celebi to Shaymin who could still check Jellicent with a Special Defense murdering Seed Flare. The real reason was to add more offense to this team. To compliment that I also switched Terrakion to Scarfed Terrakion. Now I could handle Thunderous-T and take away from that cold speed from the team. If some were to ask for a way to check sun teams on Pokebase, just answer "F---ING HEATRAN, YA IDIOT" and link them to this. I switched Tentacruel to Heatran, who could right on into Venusaur's HP [Fire] or Solarbeam and not give a damn. If it was carrying HP [Ground], which absolutley none of them do, I have Shaymin with HP [Ice] and Earth Power and Scizor with Bullet Punch.

That was the second step towards completion. Now, the only real threats were fighting types. If you played against me using this phase, bring in SubPunch Breloom and sweep from there. It's Spore was annoying. I thought I could handle it by using Keldeo's Substitute to trick it, but then came Bullet Seed. Other threats were Conkeldurr who can punish anything not prepared for just about any of it's attacks.

I seriously needed a counter to the fighting types haunting this team. Who resists fighting Pokemon and walls them to hell and back and back again? Is it Tyranitar? No jacka--, its Gliscor. Gliscor resists fighting moves and can really put a end to them and just about every other Pokemon with the great Toxic Stall!! The addition of Gliscor left me without Spikes and a second phazer, but very small price to pay for increased success.

This was the next stage of the team.

You know you can just bump by editing :P

OK, then. I'll still just leave it as it is. An editor could just merge it if they want.

---

It had to go here because of the 8000 character limit. I honestly don't see everyones problem with it being here xD everyone does it. At least his team building process actually has a purpose, telling me why these Pokemon are being added ect. Most people just say "Then I added Scizor" with no purpose. I can assume you are from another forum such as Smogon? You have that tendency to write allot and you seem to know what you are doing compared to the common nub. Great RMT

Wow, thanks. I'm actually from Serebii, but this place is so much nicer.
