So I was bored on a Saturday afternoon and decided to showcase my Pokemon team I use competitively on Pokemon Showdown and regular WiFi battle . It's an OU team that uses some move sets that aren't very used, but it's my favourite that I've created and I just wanted to see what others made of it and how it could be improved.
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Unnerve
EVs / Role: +252 Atk, 252 HP, 4 SpD
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Pursuit
- Stone edge
- Crunch
Now I know what you're thinking, another guy using a Tyranitar. I know your pain after countless encounters with him. Nevertheless, hes a great Pokemon. Stealth Rocks provides a great entry hazard, Pursuit helps me deal with Latios, Gengar, Espeon and others. Stone Edge and Crunch are there for STAB moves as he provides as a physical attacker. I didn't want to run Sand Stream as this could cripple my team.
Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs / Role: +252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 SpD
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Trick
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Fire]
This is my choice scarf trick set, which easily combats with stallers. I can gain leftovers whilst crippling a Chansey to one move only per turn, great if it uses Toxic etc. Volt Switch helps me scout whilst Hydro Pump is the only water type move it can learn, but is good for STAB. Hidden Power Fire is great as I can catch Bug/Grass and Steel types off guard, Hidden Power Ice works fine as well but I prefer Fire.
Crobat @ White Herb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs / Role: +252 Spe, 252 Atk, 4 Hp
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Acrobatics
- U-Turn
- Whirlwind
Curse = +1 attack and defense, speed reduction cured by White Herb. Lost item means Acrobatics has 110 base power with STAB and +1 attack. This is my favourite Pokemon, with such an uncommon move set it catches everyone off guard. I've taken out 3-4 Pokemon (sometimes swept) per game on average with this guy, he's insane and I recommend you try him out as well. U-Turn helps scout whilst Whirlwind gets rid of Skarmory or Tyranitar as they wall him pretty well.
Latios @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs / Role: +252 Spa, 252 Spe, 4 Hp
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
With 130 base SpA and 110 base Speed, this guy destroys teams. Ferrothorn is 1HKO'd by Hidden Power Fire whilst Thunder helps take care of rain teams. Psyshock and Draco Meteor are pretty self explanatory with STAB and good power. The perfect Special sweeper.
Donphan @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs / Role: +252 Def, 252 Hp, 4 Atk
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
With amazing defense this guy walls most physical threats, with the ability to spin away any entry hazards. 2 Stealth Rock users, are you INSANE!! Yeah I am, I thought this would catch people off guard to assume only one has the entry hazard so they aim to take down one. Ice Shard for priority on weak opponents and Earthquake for STAB to accustom 120 attack, lovely chubbly.
Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs / Role: +252 SpD, 252 Hp, 4 Atk
Careful Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Earthquake
- Toxic
This Pokemon pretty much walls just about everything. This gives me the opportunity to double screen and Toxic stall the opponent, Earthquake deals with Heatran and other fire types. Very solid defensive Pokemon.
Thanks for looking at my team, please tell me how you would improve it, after all it may win me some matches. Nice one, Cheers.
