Hey guys, I’ve decided to make an all new OU team since my previous ones have failed. This time I focused on getting my Pokemon to all work together and cover weaknesses. I’m hoping to get some good rates on this team.
---
Forretress @ Leftovers/Shed Shell
Careful
Sturdy
252 HP / 44 Atk / 212 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Payback
Basic lead here. I set up Stealth Rock and Spikes and then switch out to something that can sweep. I try to save him for Rapid Spin. Forry's got Payback so that I can hit Ghosts that try to switch in predicting Rapid Spin or thinking that I'm going to explode myself.
Latias@ Leftovers
Modest
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
Another basic set. I try to set up a few Calm Minds while recovering off the damage. Then I proceed to sweep with Surf or Dragon Pulse.
Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant
Technician
200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
This guy is an absolute favorite of mine. With Scizor I can revenge kill most Pokemon that have been weakened by SR. I try to switch him in on an Ice attack (while praying for no Freeze hax) and then I’ll either set up predicting a switch or KO with Bullet Punch. There isn’t much to say about this since it’s a pretty simple set. U-turn is there to scout and Pursuit to trap stuff like Gengar and Starmie. Superpower is there for sheer power and since I'll be switching a lot the Atk and Def drop doesn't really affect things.
Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive
Flash Fire
4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- Dragon Pulse
This guy’s Scizor’s best friend. I send out Heatran on any Fire attacks aimed for Scizor so I get the Fire Boost or Grass attacks aimed at Swampert. Then I’ll proceed to sweep whatever is out there. Fire Blast aids in taking out Grass and Bug types. Earth Power helps with Rock and Poison types and Dragon Pulse gives neutral coverage as well as help in revenge killing Dragons that are locked into Outrage.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant
Intimidate
156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
I decided to use a Bulky Gyarados this time around. I usually send him in on Water attacks aimed at Heatran. With Taunt I can prevent Pokemon from setting up or phazing me. I can then proceed with Dragon Dance to set up. Waterfall helps take out Fire, Ground, and Rock types. It also helps in eliminating opposing Heatran’s that cause a problem for Scizor. Stone Edge aids in taking out Flying types and anything that’s resistant to waterfall
Jolteon @ Leftovers
Timid
Volt Absorb
252 HP / 24 SpD / 232 Spe
- Discharge
- Substitute
- Wish
- Baton Pass
After building my team, I noticed my team could really use for Wish support. After going through all the Pokemon that can learn Wish, I settled with Jolteon as it can come in on Electric attacks aimed at Gyarados and at the same time heal itself. Jolteon tries to get a Sub up and then uses Wish, followed by Baton Pass. Most of the time I’ll just Wish and then Baton Pass if one of my other Pokemon can KO what ever is out there.

Well that’s my team. I hope I provided enough explanations for it. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
