Rate My OU Team

Question

I'm pretty bad at Pokemon Showdown so I'm really low ladder, but I got to 1300 using this team (Still climbing when you're reading this). Is it good enough to last? Or should I make some more extra edits? I'm not really keen on changing my Pokemon, but if my team will improve, I'll do whatever it takes.

This will probably help more than a team rate. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qYztMbBTY0qm4mFy1-66bafgsVQ2gkeErAO3QUghEBY/edit?usp=sharing

Answer 1

This is some quick moveset-related advice. Probably won’t do any larger scale changes, but hopefully this is of some use:

• The only good Porygon-Z set is Z-Conversion (see 93% usage rate). If you want a Scarf user, it means you should be using another Pokémon.

• This isn’t a great Mimikyu set. Mimikyu needs a power item to be immediately threatening. Life Orb is the best general option. Red Card is also a good complement to Disguise.

• Wood Hammer is unjustifiable instead of Play Rough, which is a necessary source of STAB damage. Wood Hammer hits little you can’t with Play Rough.

• Run Speed on Bisharp instead of HP. Fast Pokémon are not the only ones that can make good use of Speed investment. It’s more to do with what specific threats you can hit first (in this case Heatran, Tyranitar, Rotom-W etc.)

• Jirachi’s set looks a mix of stuff that just lacks overall focus. Use a standard pivot set with stuff like Stealth Rock, U-Turn and some HP investment. Offence teams should have Rocks support anyway.

• Kommo-o is outclassed in OU. Zygarde fills this role better, as Thousand Arrows and Extreme Speed are some of the best offensive moves in the game.

• Aerodactyl is also outclassed in OU. Landorus-T is a safe option and a good way to keep Defog support. Kartana is also an option if you find Landorus too passive for an offence team.

I like your answer. Can you rate my RU team?

Thanks! I haven’t been familiar with RU for over a year, but I’ll have a look and maybe write something later tonight.

Answer 2

This is a very good team the only things that I can think of to make it better is that instead of putting the extra 4 Ev points in special defense put in HP it makes special defense and defense get better and Mega Aerodactyl is not great at setting up unless you can get it on something it absolutely wrecks I would give it fly or Sky attack instead of hone claws fly makes it where the opponent can switch into something that can resist it Sky attack does the same thing but the Pokemon that's in can attack you but Sky attacks has a base power of 140 and has a 30% chance for a flinch and a high crit ratio but other than that your team looks good

You just explained why fly and sky attack are worse than hone claws. Why would you recommend it?

I was trying to just compare the two but I see what you mean

This is the worst RMT I've ever seen
