Keldeo @ Payapa Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
- Aqua Jet
Keldeo is one of the defining Pokemon of BW OU and is a longstanding fixture on rain offense teams. This set helps to handle unfavorable matchups against Spikes stacking Psychic spam sand teams and Psychic Volcarona, alleviating a major flaw of rain offense. Aqua Jet might look like a strange option on a Pokemon with base 72 Attack and a Timid nature, but it serves a unique niche that few Pokemon can occupy, allowing it to get around Alakazam's Focus Sash and Volcarona's considerable special bulk after a Quiver Dance boost; specifically, it gives Keldeo the chance to weaken with Surf and pick them off on the next turn after tanking their Psychic without too much trouble thanks to Payapa Berry. Outside of that capacity, Keldeo's Surf still packs impressive power when rain is up, even without a boosting item, and Icy Wind can cripple Latios that might try to switch in on Keldeo and threaten to fire off a powerful attack.

Keldeo ist eines der bedeutendsten Pokémon in BW OU und ein fixer Bestandteil von Rain-Offense-Teams. Dieses Set hilft bei ungünstigen Matchups gegen Spikesstacking Psychic-Spam-Sand-Teams und Psychic Volcarona, womit eine große Schwäche von Rain-Offense entschärft werden kann. Aqua Jet sieht auf den ersten Blick wie eine seltsame Option für ein Pokémon mit 72 Basis-Angriff und einem Timid-Wesen aus, aber es kann damit die einzigartige Nische ausfüllen, sowohl Alakazams Focus Sash als auch Volcaronas beträchtliche Spezialverteidigung nach einem Quiver Dance umgehen zu können; insbesondere kann es diese mit Surf schwächen und sie dann in der nächsten Runde mit Aqua Jet besiegen, nachdem es Psychic von Alakazam und +1 Volcarona dank Payapa Berry ohne Probleme überstanden hat. Wenn es regnet, macht Keldeos Surf selbst ohne Boosting-Item beeindruckenden Schaden und mit Icy Wind kann Latios lahmgelegt werden, was eventuell versucht, in Keldeo einzuwechseln und es mit einer mächtigen Attacke zu besiegen.
