Rate my ORAS OU team?

Question

Latios-Mega @ Latiosite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 28 HP / 4 Atk / 4 Def / 224 SpA / 248 Spe
Mild Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Draco Meteor
- Luster Purge

Setup sweeper. No one expects the mixed, either. Dragon Dance boosts Attack and Speed, and even if I'm not using EQ immediately, the Speed boost is nice. You might ask why all the weird bulk investments, but it's to prevent the OHKO from Band Talonflame's Brave Bird.

Bisharp (M) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head

Solid Fairy destroyer. Need I say more?

Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Earthquake

Rocks setter and item-knocker-offer. Nice to get the Lefties off of Skarmory.

Excadrill (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head

Spinner. Crucial to getting Talonflame in safely. Can clean unprepared teams and be used as a late-game sweeper.

Talonflame (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 148 Atk / 108 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Substitute
- Overheat
- Brave Bird
- Roost

Once Little Jimmy made a team. Then he realized Talonflame could sweep it. So he took out two members and threw in Ferrothorn and Skarmory. "I don't have to worry about Talonflame now, right?"

WRONG.

You always have to worry about Talonflame.

This set 2HKOes Skarmory when it's fully invested in HP and SpD with a boosting nature. It also has a 65% chance to OHKO fully invested Specially Defensive Ferrothorn. It OHKOes fully invested Mega Scizor, too.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
- Power Whip
- Toxic

Annoying set is annoying. Leech Seed and Toxic is a good combo, Power Whip is standard, and Knock Off is an unpleasant surprise to many Pokemon.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Comments

Only problems I see stat-wise is Psyshock > Lustre Purge because of the ability to hit Physical walls and higher base power. Also, mixed Mega Latios is actually fairly used on Mega Latios, even though the 'Mon itself is quite underused.

The Special Def drop from Luster Purge allowed me to OHKO a fully invested AV Latias :]

---

...Wut. First, if a SpD drop happened, it's not an OHKO. 2nd...
224+ SpA Mega Latios Psychic vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Latias: 55-66 (15.1 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO
(I had to use Psychic as Luster Purge is so irrelevant it's not in the calc. Besides, Psychic is stronger.) So yeah, no reason not to use Psychic/Psyshock, depending on what you want to hit.

---

... I kind of think he meant OHKO by Draco Meteor here? Oh and btw, huge Fire, Ground and Fighting weakness here, becuase you're carrygin 3 Steel types. imo switch out one.

---

Good looking team!
You could take a slightly different approach with ferrothorn, replacing power whip and toxic with curse and gyro ball. The defense  rise makes him more annoying, and the attack rise and speed drop make gyro ball a hit nobody wants to take.

---

Thanks! And yeah, I meant Draco one-shotted after :P and Smiley, which one should I replace? I was thinking Ferro for BellyJet Azumarill or Sylveon.

Answer 1

With that kind of team, even you have to worry about Talonflame. But I might have just what you need...
Aggron @ Hard Stone
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 4HP / 252Atk / 252Def
Adamant Nature
Stealth Rock
Head Smash
Aerial Ace
Aqua Tail

80% accuracy isn't the best, but I'll tell you, you could sweep a team with Aggron if you tried. Stealth Rock is for fast ice-types that take out Landorus before it can do anything. The other moves are for coverage, and you could swap one out for Thunder Punch. Aggron would be a great addition to your team.

This should be a comment not an answer, if your only making one small suggestion, it should be a comment

This Aggron sux. He can't eat an Earthquake to save his life, and those are everywhere. He also has to beware HP Ground Sylveon, Techniloom, Landorus, Earth Power Mega Diancie… the list goes on.

lel, scarf Excadrill outspeeds talon and one-shots with rock slide

Guys, guys, guys. This Aggron is SPECIFICLY to deal with talonflame. Nothing else.
