Hi all and welcome to my current OU Team! I've spent about 2 weeks building this, so any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome! So let's begin!


Tapu Lele @ Psychium Z
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Taunt

This is the dedicated lead of the team. The main goal with Tapu Lele is to fire off a Taunt and hopefully stop opposing Stealth Rock being set up, then NUKE the opposition with Shattered Psyche. Max SpA EVs along with a Modest Nature mean that Psyshock, Moonblast and Hidden Power do maximum damage, while I invested in HP to hopefully live some more hits, in case the opposition predicts Taunt and just attacks.


Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Defog
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- U-turn

This is the Rocker of the team, and its aim it to come in, Defog away entry hazards, set up my own Rocks, and then pivot out using U-Turn. It's a fairly standard defensive Landorus, with max HP, Atk and an Adamant Nature. Earthquake is, well, Earthquake, and U-Turn lets me switch out and gain momentum.


Greninja-Ash @ Choice Specs
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Water Shuriken
- Dark Pulse
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Ash-Greninja is not only an incredibly strong Pokemon in its own right, but with Choice Specs it becomes capable of terrorising teams on its own. Max EVs in SpA and Spe make him fast and deadly. I chose Scald over Hydro Pump because of that sweet burn chance, and Water Shuriken = Priority Surf after transforming.
Dark Pulse is STAB and Ice Beam is for killing stuff like Landorus, Gliscor, Garchomp etc.


Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Knock Off
- Gyro Ball

So now we arrive at the defensive Pokemon of the team - Ferrothorn. Leech Seed + Protect = Very Annoying, while Knock Off is for utility, and Gyro Ball is a good STAB, with Ferro's low speed. The EV spread is cool, with Max HP, while the defences equal out at 327 with a Relaxed Nature. Meanwhile, 20 EVs were dumped into Attack to make Gyro Ball more powerful. Also, the Rocky Helmet plus Iron Barbs combo has picked up a few kills for me too!


Zapdos @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 8 SpD / 248 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Zapdos is quite possibly my favourite team member so far, with Thudnerbolt, HP Ice, Heat Wave and Roost. A Life Orb was chosen in conjunction with 252 SpA to maximise power, and a Timid Nature plus 252 Spe means he's fast too. The Life Orb recoil doesn't really matter, thanks to Roost either, which also helps negate that nasty Stealth Rock weakness.


Charizard-Mega-X @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Dragon Claw
- Flare Blitz

Finally I had to choose a Mega Evolution and because I had no Fire STAB, I chose Mega Charizard X. This is the standard Dragon Dance, Roost, Dragon Claw, Flare Blitz set and it is really really good. With all the switches Charizard forces, it's fairly easy to set up a Dragon Dance and then to sweep. Also it looks BADASS!






There is the team! Please give me suggestions and ideas, and thanks for reading!

1 I would like to 1v1 against my 2 week team and 2 you dont need max evs in speed on greninja his speed is like the 1st-2nd fastest out of starters and maybe 2nd-3rdin the game cause you know zeraora ._. But yeah
I'm keeping max speed so I can speed tie with opposing Ash-Gren also
Ash-Greninja is the 16th fastest Pokémon. :P

You team looks pretty solid; Zapdos is interesting, and may be a good lure to someone who doesn't know better. I am pretty sure there was a part of the OU ladder where people only use D-Dance Sweepers because they don't know how to use Haze with Tapu Fini. :P
Without stat boost he is fastest also i get your ash greninja i havent seen 1 on showdown in a while though so people are more using zeraora because max speed ev 423 or something like that its insane (also rate my team)
