SHB's OUish RMT

[SecondHeartbeat]

This is more OU than I usually run and I'm pretty open to changes on this team considering I'm not oh-so-happy with it

Team Overview

Okay lets get this started ^_^

Swampert

Relaxed @ Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 spatk

-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-HP Electric
-Ice Beam


Who doesn't love swampy?

:3 this lovable evolution of Mudkip is a great lead all around. Nice bulk and nice Type coverage. Lets see a Gyarados try to taunt his way out of HP Electric (which is a 2HKO with 0 spDef EVs) Stealth Rock for Entry hazard support. Ice beam and Earthquake for coverage. 306 defense backed with 404 HP makes this thing super physically bulky.


Team Synergy
Grass = Lucario/Latias

Next up is
Rotom
(This is a normal Rotom since I don't have platinum)
Bold @ Leftovers
252 HP Uhh.. I honestly never wrote down these EVs :/
I apologize. 304/114/239/237/190/240
-Wil-O-wisp
-HP Fire
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave

Okay Aside from the fact that I don't know its EVs :/

I do know that it lives all kinds of SD BP Scizor stuff, and it lives +1 Waterfall from Gyara AND OHKO's back with Tbolt. It takes ground/steel/fighting moves like a champ because of its typing and levitate ability. It's also a great status inducer.


Team Synergy
Dark = Lucario/Breloom
Ghost = Lucario/Snorlax



Next comes one of my favorites
Snorlax

@ Leftovers/Thick Fat
168 HP 120 Def 220 spDef
-Body Slam
-Curse
-Crunch
-Rest

This thing us pretty bulky special defense wise. It loves taking fire/Ice moves and letting them bounce off. Then it sets up a few curses and starts the Body slamming.
Any ghost gets in its way gets a Crunch to the face. Rest to keep my sweep going/recover lost HP. This thing is also an awesome status absorber.

Team Synergy
Fighting = Latias/Rotom

Next comes another great :3

Lucario

Adamant @ Choice Scarf
252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
-Ice Punch
-Thunder Punch
-Close Combat
-Crunch

Oh man, I prefer this set over the SD Luc, I love the late game sweeping possibilities that this thing has. Ice Punch for Dragons. Thunder Punch for those +1 Gyarados. Close combat for a great stab move with. Crunch for those pesky Ghost types.

Team Synergy
Ground - Latias/Rotom
Fire - Snorlax/Latias/swampert
Fighting - Rotom/Latias


Phew, I'm tired :P two more

Breloom

Adamant @ Toxic Orb
252 Attack 208 speed 48 HP
-Swords Dance
-Seed Bomb
-Spore
-Mach Punch

._. I know Spore is ultra lame but at least I'm not running Sub/Punch amirite?
I love this guy with its STAB Mach Punch. After an SD it can be pretty deadly late game. Seed Bomb for those bulky waters and Spore for sleep to allow me to set up more SDs.

Team Synergy
Fire - Snorlax/Latias/Swampert
Flying - Rotom
Psychic - Latias


Last one :D almost there.
Latias

Timid @ choice scarf
252 speed 252 spatk 4 HP
-Draco Meteor
-Trick
-Surf
-Thunder Bolt

Alright now I don't approve of CM latias ._. just cause its annoying, But scarf is okay :P Draco Meteor is a powerful STAB move that will put a dent in most things. Trick allows me to give my scarf to an unsuspecting opponent. Surf is coverage against ground and fire types and lets me hit steels neutral. Thunderbolt lets me hit those bulky waters and also steels for neutral.



Well that's this new team .-. I know its not so great. That's where you guys come in :D

uhh. okay....


neway.. I changed Latias a bit

[beebee]

I'm actually trying to think of how to counter some of people on your team...but I find myself at a brick wall...

[R3I]

Well, it's definitely very solid; I'll give you that. You have most of the top OU threats handled nicely, therefore I don't spot any glaring weaknesses. However, I don't like how Latias holds your team together. Should it fall, which is likely to happen judging by the amount of Pursuit Tyranitar and Scizor in today's metagame, you become vulnerable to a few lesser-known threats. One of these is an Offensively-based Celebi, who can OHKO Pert with a random Grass-type attack, do serious damage if not KO Rotom with Psychic, Trick a Scarf onto Snorlax and cripple it, either Earth Power or HP Fire Lucario (Celebi is bulky enough to take an Ice Punch, as you neither have SD nor a Life Orb), and finally, Psychic Breloom.

Substitute Gengar is another one that would cause you problems if you lose Latias, especially if it carries Focus Punch and Hypnosis, which would mean Snorlax would be put in a tight spot. Then, of course, there's Swords Dance Infernape with Mach Punch, which it can use to easily get by your Scarfed Lucario.

In general, these three are handled nicely by an defensively-based Zapdos, better yet a Rest-Talk Zapdos. You can consider replacing your Rotom with it, as it is also a surefire counter
to Lucario and Scizor.

Sadly, that means you lose spin-blocking potentials, but whatever =\ SPIN BLOCKING IS OVERRATED T_T

Also, if CursePert gets one too many Curses up, especially if it's in Sandstorm, and it packs Rest to get rid of status, bad things may happen T_T. Well maybe not cause you have Breloom ._. Stupid Spore.

Your Swampert needs more special attack. I have also used a Hidden Power Electric Swampert, and even with SpA evs, if the Gyarados uses Bounce, the leftovers recovery from the turns he uses Bounce will make it a 3hko.

I'm pretty sure it's a 2HKO with SR up though.

[Rookie]

Lucario without Stone Edge; Falcon approves (more punches). Since it's scarfed, you may want to consider a mixed set, especially since hidden power electric is more effective at hitting skarmory and gyarados. Furthermore, special attacks are something to fall back on, should you get burned.

Lucario@ Choice Scarf
Mild Nature
Ability Inner focus
EV Spread:70Att 224 Spe 216 SpA
- Close Combat
- Ice punch
- Hidden power (electric)
- Dark Pulse

The speed is just enough to outrun scarfed neutral nature Rotom-A as well as neutral nature +1 Spe gyarados. There is more special attack because close combat will wail on most of its targets (like blissey and tyranitar) as it is.

[SecondHeartbeat]

Okay Breloom is out

Heracross-Guts
Adamant @ Leftovers
40 HP 252 attack 196 Speed
- Pursuit
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
