>Well, hello there! It's Haunter, with another OU team! This one is based around Mega-Banette, as I wanted to try it out. Here it is...
Team Preview:
Gliscor
@ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Fling
- Acrobatics
- Substitute
- Stealth Rock
My lead on the team. You might be a bit confused with this weird set, but let me talk you through it. My strategy usually starts with Substitute to get Poison Heal started. I then use either Fling or Stealth Rock, depending on the Pokemon I am up against. Why Fling over Toxic, you ask? Basically, Taunt does not affect this. You do have one chance of using this though, so use it wisely. Once you are poisoned and your Toxic Orb has gone, you can go for a powerful STAB Acrobatics.
Conkeldurr
@ Assault Vest
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SDef / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Poison Jab
- Knock Off
My main Physical sweeper on the team. It is a pretty generic AVest set: Drain Punch for STAB and healing up some of that Burn damage, Ice Punch for coverage, Poison Jab to take care of Fairies and Knock Off to cover Psychic and Ghost, as well as gettting rid of their item.
Greninja
@ Life Orb
Trait: Protean
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
My main Special sweeper on the team. Another generic (but effective) Greninja set. Surf is STAB (as a matter of fact, everything is xD) and I'm using it over Hydro Pump just because of the nerf. IMO it doesn't have enough Base Power for its accuracy. Dark Pulse is another good move, and provides STAB every time you use it. Ice Beam and Hidden Power Fire give you brilliant coverage along with Surf.
Sylveon
@ Leftovers
Trait: Pixilate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Protect
- Hyper Voice
- Heal Bell
My Wish Passer on the team. Its great Special Defense make it a good wall too. Wish is obvious, and if Sylveon itself needs to heal, it can use Protect. Pixilate Hyper Voice provides some good STAB, and Heal Bell hlps status.
Tentacruel
@ Black Sludge
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Sludge Bomb
- Rapid Spin
Speak of the devil! Tentacruel is a brilliant Special Wall that is helping out the team with Toxic Spikes and Rapid Spin. As I don't really want Spikes or Stealth Rock hurting my team, Rapid Spin is not a waste of slot. Scald has a high chance of burning those who didn't get poisoned and is STAB, and we have Sludge Bomb for them Fairies and STAB.
Banette
~~~>
@ Banettite
Trait: Frisk ~~> Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Impish Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Sneak
- Sucker Punch
- Destiny Bond
My priority abuser on the team. Priority Will-O-Wisp cripples any Physical attacker that thinks it can kill this Banette. Shadow Sneak is pretty powerful due to Banette's ridiculous Attack, and happens to be priority :D! Sucker Punch has even higher BP, so it will no doubt deal some heavy damage. When Banette is finally on its last leg... BOOM! In comes the priority Destiny Bond, which no-one will expect.
