A lot of the other teams I make have one common problem. My pokemon work well on their own, but have no good synergy. I took a look at the core question on pokebase (Which is very helpful by the way), and tried to make a team with good synergy. anyway, here's the team.
soak those attacks up! (Blissey) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpD
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Protect
- Wish
I love using blissey because she's everything in one. Wall, wish passer, staller, you name it! whenever an alakazam or any other special attacker comes in on another one of my pokemon, I just switch into blissey and it soaks them up like a sponge. Thanks to its monster HP, its wish passing will fully restore almost any pokemon on the team. All pokemon have their downs though. When fighting psychic types, I must scout to be sure they don't have Psyshock.
Derpface (slowpoke) @ leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SpD
Nature: Bold (+Def, - Atk)
- Slack Off
- Scald
- Thunder Wave
- Fire Blast
I like the the nickname, if there was more room it would be "I put a shellder on my tail sometimes, sayin' Ayyyo, now I'm a slowbro." Anyway, again with the synergy, this is to soak up physical attacks directed at Blissey and Scizor. It's typing is just perfect, as it can take both fire type attacks directed at scizor and fighting type attacks directed at Blissey. While I do like it, I think it is the weakest link on my team, so if anyone has a better alternative, please tell me
Fire away (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SpD
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
Almost no matter what, technician, choice band boosted Bullet Punch and pursuit are going to hurt. so will U-turn and Superpower. With blissey and Slowbro backing him up, Scizor is a monster on the field.
Spikey electric rabbit thing (Jolteon) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power
- Shadow Ball
Even though Jolteon has a limited move pool, it is still not to be taken lightly. Boltbeam coverage is really great, and shadow ball is coverage. I don't have to worry about Ground types, because I can just switch to Gyarados and get a free switch in.
? (Gyarados) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake
I can't tell you how many battles I've won with this pokemon. Just one Dragon Dance boosted by Moxie, and it can sweep entire teams. thanks to Jolteon, it doesn't really have to worry about T-bolts (Before boosting), and can get a free switch in.
Fire Ape (Infernape) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 SpA/ 252 Spe
Nature: Hasty (+Spe, -Def)
- Fake Out
- Stealth Rock
- Overheat
- Close Combat
WARNING: ALL LEADS MAY GET AN OVERHEAT TO THE FACE. This is my favorite anti lead, as it ruins sturdy and focus sash, and wrecks physical walls like Skarmory with overheat.
This is my favorite OU team that I've made, and am very proud of it. criticism is very welcome, as it will improve my team. in a while I'll post some replays for you to watch so you can see it in action. I haven't really gotten any good or bad feedback in previous RMT's, so please rate or even just comment, anything is welcome. and again, please :_(
