Low Weakness OU team
This is an OU team ive been using for awhile now, and i think its pretty well balanced and resists and weaknesses are well balanced between them. But i no it isnt perfect yet so ill post it here
Team at a glance
A closer look
Infernape"The Lead" @ Focus Sash
Ability:BLazeA closer look
Infernape"The Lead" @ Focus Sash
EV's: 252 Atk/194 Spe/64 SpA
Naive Nature
-Close combat
-Fire Blast
-Fake out
-Stealth rock
---
A great lead, one ive used a lot. I personally find it better then a suicide lead as i can use it later on, and i use it better then a Heatran. I start off with fake out to eliminate any focus sash users. I then either set up stealth rock, or are quick to attack with either of his stab moves. I do use close combat more often due to its higher acuracy and higher attack EV of Infernape.
Zapdos"The Attacking Wall" @ Leftovers
EV's: 252 SpA/36 Spe/220 Def
Bold Nature
-Discharge
-Heat wave
-Roost
-Light Screen
---
My defender but also a reliable attacker. Can take some major important hits like stone edge from Salamance. More reliable then Rotom when it comes to electric attacks and defends itself from possible counters with heat wave, and helps when infernape is down. Pressure helps when i have to keep roosting HP to as it eats away at enemy HP.Discharge's high paralysis rate slows down larger walls for infernape to attack. Roost obviously heals back lost life. Great to switch into when a ground type confronts Infernape. Since no member of the team covers Special Defense, Light Screen is used when needed.
Rhyperior"The Tank" @ Leftovers
EV's: 246 HP/200 Def/64 Spe
Impish Nature
-Earthquake
-Stone edge
-Megahorn
-Substitute
---
My tank, and a great one at that. In my oppinion one of the most underated in overused. With its ability Solid Rock it Reduces most of its weaknesses only leaving water and grass whitch i can switch him out of and replace with Zapdos whitch covers both. Stone edge And Earthquake are used mainly for stab and to cover the respective types it supereffectivly hits. Can take hits very well with its 432 HP and high defense. Megahorn covers anoying Psychics and takes out grass types one of Rhyperior's main weaknesses. WIth a 432 HP stat that provides a pretty resistant substitute, and is used on to avoide racking up major damage from a water type when zapdos and rotom are gone. A great switch in for weavile as it has resistance to all of Weaviles weaknesses.
Kingdra"The Physical Sweeper" @ Lum berry
EV's: 55 HP/255 Atk/200 Spe
Adament Nature
-Outrage
-Waterfall
-Dragon Dance
-Substitute
---
A good physical sweeper and covers a wide variety of types bieng dragon/water. First either Dragon Dance and boost the power of waterfall; or Yawn the enemy to sleep and rack damage with Outrage. Sniper, isnt as usefull as it sounds as a x2 hit should faint as effectivly as an x3 hit, so swift swim takes advantage when the other team is Rain Dance based. Lum berry also helps with post-Outrage confusion. Good at covering any thing coming at Rotom. Though the fourth slot on Kingdra has been edited over and over Ive decided to stick to Substitute as it helps me Dragon Dance, thanx to a post from Ronin.
Rotom(-c)"The Special Sweeper" @ Choice scarf
EV's: 4 HP/252 SpA/ 252 Spe
Modest Nature
-Leaf Storm
-Thunderobolt
-Shadow Ball
-Trick
---
My special sweeper with AMAZING typing. With three immunities and 5 resistances it is only weakened by dark and ghost. Thunderbolt is used for mainly for STAB. Shadow ball is helpful taking down fellow ghosts and the occasional special defense drop is nice. When making the team i had originally used a different Rotom but noticing i had no grass moves i went with cut Rotom to cover grass with Leaf Storm.Originally i had Hidden power fighting as the fourth slot, as it handeled a common rotom switch in, Blissey. Trick handles this better as it leaves blissey to only one move something it doesnt enjoy and lets me just neutral attack with thunderbolt or then switch to Infernape.
Weavile"The Revenge Killer" @ Expert Belt
EV's: 40 HP/252 Atk/218 Spe
Jolly Nature
-Ice shard
-Pursuit
-Brick Break
-Aerial Ace
---
By far the star of the team, it takes care of countless enemyes as it covers a wide variety of types. Ice shard lands quick hits taking down salamance in a single shot. Pursuit can cover a running starmie and with the addition of expert belt can even take on a gengar at full hp. I recently noticed i have a big weakness to fighting as i have 2 pokemon weak to it and nothing to counter it, especially weavile who has a x4 weakness to fighting. Sooo instead of having Night slash like on most weavile movesets i replaced it with aerial ace whitch has a never miss acuracy and can take care of most non defensive or hp oriented fighting types. Brick break can even cover a weakened Blissey. Usefull for various switches and its weaknesses are covered easily by Ryperior.
Under Testing:
None as of the moment but im considering a weavile replacement OTHER then Scizor.
Well, thats my team. Any comments are apreciated Please, suggestions for the team and any help always welcomed. Im aware i have some holes in my strategy. So if you have any suggestions on that i would apreaciate it.
