Let me preface this by saying I have been playing competitive Pokémon for a while but this is my first post.
Sorry to say but personally this team just doesn't wow me at all. I really am so sorry but if you are new then use this to help make yourself better. Firstly do you have any restrictions on your team? does it have to use specific Pokémon? Does it need to be a specific format or follow guidelines (like what type team as well). Do you not want to spend a long amount of time catching and training them? Because i couldn't find anything I'm going to assume no but if there is feel free to pm me and we can discuss this.
Anyway, i always start picking my team with a mega-evolution, because they are the easiest because while there are like 700 + Pokémon there are less than 50 mega evolutions. The way that i see it, mega mantric is a dead weight on you team. A zapdos could do the same exact job, you want your mega evolution to be huge on your team. Why not look at a mega Kangaskhan or mega blaziken if you fine going into ubers or mega Venosaur, mega pinsir, mega heracross, or mega gyaridos in ou. They all have their advantages. These are just some of the top megas but there are more and many people will disagree with me and say that these are not the top but these are just a few off the top of my head. What i can tell you its mega Kangaskhan is amazing and debatibly the best mega. build your Uber team around that if its an uber team you want.
So for ubers you have:
Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out/Protect
- Double-Edge/Return
- Sucker Punch
- Power-Up Punch
Now we need to address the other amazing Pokémon that has been giving all uber teams trouble. Aegislash. He's amazing because of his offensive and defensive capabilities as well as his versatility on offense he can be a spec or normal attacker which would fit in well. Also, weakness policy helps to cover its weaknesses even though its so tanky. Here i have a specialty sweeping aegislash but the beauty of him is is that you can build him any way you want. Also your choice between shadow sneak and sacred sword (shadow sneak gives good priority so its a viable option) So...:
Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- King's Shield
- Shadow Ball
- Flash Cannon
- Sacred Sword/Shadow Sneak
Ok, so now I just notice OU team... Wow. Ok. Im just going to leave this here if you want to continue it just pm me.
OK BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND.
Lets get you an OU team.
Firstly let me say I'm going to try to take what you have and just improve upon it. Can't talk very long tho, i got surgery tomorrow... :(
Oh well...
Alright:
Lets keep your orrigional azumaril their really good and common in OU play. It also counters dragons which is really nice to have on your team and even has some priority.
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Belly Drum
- Brick Break
- Play Rough
Now as for the rest of it I kinda think theres not much left you could salvage. Its possible to use the sableye, its a good idea and possibly i just personally never liked them that much. However, change staraptor to a talonflame. Firstly it has amazing priority and high powered moves. Plus it gives you the fire type that you lack (because spoiler i would like to drop your chandelure...) although it is extreemly weak to stealth rock...
Talonflame @ life orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Aerial Ace
Ok thats good, maybe you could change flare blitz to something else but i would keep it if i were you. Its basically just like a better staraptor. So this would become your suicide lead. Alright, now lets take a look at that ghost type...
Here is the thing. I LOVE chandelure. I think its Awsome and amazing and i had one in black and white 2 and i loved it. But its slow compared to other things in competitive play. I would say switch a gengar for the chandelure. Plus you have the fire type covered now by talonflame so your good. Plus gengar is a fast spec sweeper, which is in my opinion a rare blessing. I see much baton passing to physical sweepers and dragons + gyrados just beefing up their stats (it makes sense what with dragon dance and swords dance) but still people lack the fear of spec sweepers they should feel. Thats why i love gengar (and jolteon for that matter).
Gengar @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden-Power Ice/ focus-blast
Alright now you need a tank of some kind or at least a way to deal with physical sweepers and there is only one way to go:
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball/Knock off/ Protect
THIS THING IS AMAZING. IT CAN LIVE THROUGH ANYTHING WITH PROTECT LEECH SEED AND STEALTH ROCKS. Except fire. caution, highly flammable.
Alright you only need two more things, another fast specialty sweeper and a strong physical sweeper. Also one of them must be a mega evolution. The only 2 real mega specialty sweepers that are decent: mega alakazam and mega charizard y and you don't want a mega alakazam. Too fragile for your all important mega evolution and you already have a talonflame which is the same type as mega charizard y which would make you way too weak to stealth rock. So make it a physical mega sweeper. So now that we know this lets deal with the specialty sweeper first. I know how i said i like jolteon but in my opinion, a greninja is even better for a few reasons. Firstly, it uses its freaking tounge as a scarf. HOW COOOL IS THAT OMG GAMEFREAK WHERE WAS THIS FROG ALL MY LIFE. Second, its fast and its strong. Thirdly, protean is one of the better abilities i have ever seen.
Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- hidden-power fire
- Dark Pulse
The only non standard thing on my greninja is the hidden power fire which i like to deal with grass types that think they can take you down cause they believe they are super effective. Ha, sucks to be them.
Ok, next You need a mega evolution. I know i said i usually do them first but i was sticking with and editing your orrigional team as my highest priority. So now, you have a suicide lead, a tank (that can stealth rock too), and a phisical sweeper with priority and 2 special sweeper. Ok what i would say personally is that you could should go with a mega pinsir, or mega tyranitar. the reason i say these two is because tyranitar can tank where as pinsir has priority. so you can figure out which one of those you want then pm me for a moveset or check around.
Closing thoughts: Good team. Now practice. Play with it with a simulator until you have it down. figure out weaknesses and things like that and how to counter them.
Other options that i would personally put in:
either:
Salamence @ focus sash
Ability: timid
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Att / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dragon dance
- Dragon claw
- Fire fang
- earthquake
Dragonite @ focus sash
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Att / 252 Spe
Adament nature
-Dragon dance
-Dragon claw
-Fire punch
-Thunder punch
WARNING THIS TEAM IS VERY WEAK TO ELECTRIC TYPE MOVES TRY TO WORK AROUND THAT.
I know these are unorthodox but try it on a simulator. Would be suprised how well they work. If you want to reach me email me at [email protected]
good luck.
