As many of you may know, I'm pretty darn inactive with Pokemon now, due to the sheer fact that it has gotten too boring to keep playing daily and consistently. That being said, I still like to build teams, just to make sure I don't lose my touch, if for any reason I choose to play Pokemon again more often.
That being said, there are various tiers of pokemon that I enjoyed ever since I began playing competitively, but Gen 6 OU has been a love-hate tier for me. I would hate the fact that few pokemons dominate the tier, but it is the tier in which one can be most creative (in my eyes). So, due to that reason, I've decided to present a team as a little commemoration to my time as an active battler, and to my transition as an "inactive" battler. Since I decided to type up a lot of stuff, a teambuilding view of the team will be in a pastebin, so expect to see various tabs and whatnot. (Pastebin may contain a few inappropriate words for some users.)
Also, as a heads up, I didn't ladder this team at all, and only battled people I know from school, Mewderator, and pokegen'd this unto my 3DS game and fought some people there. So far, it's done pretty good even though I haven't played OU in a while prior to this team.
Enjoy.
The Team
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 40 HP / 216 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Bite
If an award would have to go out to the most avoided Mega that is capable of destroying teams with ease, it would definitely go to Mega Abomasnow.
Wait a minute...
Gyarados is actually very satisfying Mega to use, and does its job perfectly fine, with very good abilities in Intimidate and Mold Breaker, allowing me to set up and have more physical "bulk", then Mega evolving after sufficient boosts, and sweeping teams with great coverage and the help of Mold Breaker. Since this is my first time using this fellow, I really don't know of his usage set, so I slapped on a Dark move because why not? Anyways, this shrimp can certainly be devastating against any weakened or unprepared team. Would 10/10 bang and recommend.
Wait, nvm, this guy is ugly. 0/10 would bang. My bad.
Garchomp @ Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Outrage
Sweet baby Jesus (Yes, my child?), is it #tbt (Throwback Thursday, for all of you uncultured humans out there) or what? Digging up the Gen 5 mons, and making them shine in Gen 6 OU, land of the Brave Bird, and home of the Aerilate. Dude sets up rocks and kills, nothing more, and certainly nothing less. He can become death fodder when I see no use for him anymore, and get some chip damage on some scrubby U-Turn play by the opponent. Also, has deadly STABs, and Fire Blast takes Scizor(nician) out on a romantic date to hell.
Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 200 HP / 188 Atk / 112 SAtk / 8 Spd
Quiet Nature
- King's Shield
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Ball
- Iron Head
Speaking about hell, looks like some idiot got lost and thought a sword was a perfect place to reside in for the rest of eternity (pls dun bash on me guys, believ wat u want). Anyways, we know that one ghost cannot help another out, so their logical reasoning is to eliminate one another in battle. Touching, isn't it?
Well, thanks to this soul-blade's weakness, I get me some +2's in Attack and SAtk, making up for that horrible speed stat. Shadow Ball and Shadow Sneak are nuke + finisher duo, and Iron Head is for Normal types and Fairies. 8 Speed for other soul-blade's who run Quiet, but no speed investment, allowing me to outspeed and KO.
Raikou @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 92 HP / 192 SAtk / 224 Spd
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Substitute
I'm Raikou, and I'm majestic as heck. Old Gen 5 SubCM set with slight bulk modifications, making sure I can take an Aerilated QA and Brave Bird from MPinsir and Talonflame respectively. CM + Sub make this big boy a threat, while HP Ice and TBolt give me a very effective BoltBeam combo, capable of doing a number on OU pokemons. Has a problem with MVenu, though...
Still a sexy cat. Beats that stupid cloud guy Thundurus IMO.
Latios (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Draco Meteor
- Defog
Problem with MVenu, my dear Raikou bae? NO PROBLEM, I'M HERE. Psyshock for days has MVenu and friends running away to their Bisharp and Aegislash. #LOLSWITCH #LOLJKHPFIRE. Draco Meteor just hits hard, so no honorable mention for it. Defog lets me rid of hazards like Spikes, which threatens this team more than SR does, so yayzies. Also, Latios becomes the Ground immunity pokemon after Gyarados goes Super Shrimp mode, so it works out well. Also outspeeds scrubs like Keldeo (and resists its STABs too), and Terrakion, threatening pokemon that are worth mentioning, even though I might meet the character limit soon. (I hope he or she is hot...)
Mamoswine @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
Mamoswine is OP, no matter what gen he's in. Since he's always getting better at being anti-meta, I decided to give him that yoloblazing420swag Scarf. He doesn't disappoint, as many people claim. He is actually capable of various feats, such as KOing Pivot Lando with Icicle Crash (After the Intimidate drop), and still outspeeding Thundy and LatiTapDatAss. Ice Shard is still in here, because it's still nice to catch a weakened MPinsir off guard when he expects to Quick Attack me to death. Stone Edge hits hard, and mainly there for the lack of a better move. However, EQ is certainly there to take out any Steel, Rock, Electric or Fire type that decides to stand in my way.
Lolwtf are poison types?
Thank you for reading, and I could use some help on this team, as it is fairly new, since I haven't used it often. And while I lied to Mew that it was a new team so he could help me test, in reality, this team is 3 weeks old, and I was importing (and eating) o3o!
Here's a random replay against (lolwhomightthisbeomghypedup) Mew.
