Hey guys! Ever since Generation 4, I have played competitive Pokemon! I prefer Hyper Offense over any type of team, and I have fallen in love with Mega-Diancie lately! I have gone 40 wins to 15 losses, so it is apparent that I have some issues with this team, but an overall good team! That is why I came here! I feel like my team is balanced, but then again I go around 1200-1350 ~ Elo with around 1250~ right now.
This Teambuilding process was actually not that hard :D. For SURE I wanted to make a Mega-Diancie revolved Hyper Offensive Team, so I started with that.
Needed another hard hitter that is versitile and fixes up Diancies weakness'. I have decided to let the devil in. Greninja.
I needed a Spec'er at this point, so I added Keldeo due to 1. Loving her design and 2. Even with having trouble with move sets, having a shallow movepool, I find her an AWESOME Choice Specs user.
I realized that my team had weak Physical attacks, the only ones being Gunk Shot, U-turn and Diamond Storm, so I needed more prowess. I added Talonflame for that reason!
All I needed now was a tanky attacker and a Choice Bander, Landorus-T and Kryrum-B seemed great as a Choice Bander!
After playing 20~ games, I noticed a giant Stealth Rocks weakness. While Latias can't set up any hazards, I needed an offensive-tank-defogger so Latias was initiated after careful consideration!
Der Twist gave me a brilliant idea and told me to go Choice Band Scizor over Kyurem-B, it has had good effects so far and lets see how far it will go!
With Smogon Suspect Testing Greninja, and having INSANE number of people saying Ban, I have decided to get an early lead on who to replace him with. Please note that Greninja almost has no replacement avalible, but Fiat500 recommended Gengar, getting rid of one of my Electric weaknesses, and a fairy killer. Coverage on Gengar is nice, but RIP Greninja. With Gengar being a Choice Scarfer Revenge Killer on my team, Keldeo became a Choice Specs user and decimates people with that STAB+Choice Specs Hydro Pump!
CHANGES ARE BOLDED
Diancie @
Diancite
Ability: Clear Body --> Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Moonblast
- Diamond Storm
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Fire]
My personal favorite mega due to versatility and power. 160 Attack and 160 Special Attack is nothing to laugh at. Moonblast and Diamond Storm adds stab, while Diamond Storm has a 50% chance to raise Diancie's defense by one stage. Earth Power and Hidden Power [Fire] adds needed type coverage. I have considered using Rock Polish on M-Diancie, however I find her typing too sub par to use Rock Polish correctly. Her defenses are above par with 50/110/110 and can take a hit! She is commonly sweeping, or when she can`t (very rare) she is taking hits for the team! If it is the latter, I may keep her in her non-mega form due to bulkier defenses!
Possible Changes: Hidden Power [Fire] ---> Rock Polish
Gengar @
Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball
Gengar was Fiat500's recommendation to fill Greninja's shoes. Filling Greninja's shoes are near impossible. He has size 1000 feet. Greninja for me was used as a) A Revenge Killer, b) A Lead, or c) A Sweeper to wittle down people. Genger fills 2 out of the 3, and sadly can not be used as a lead. Scizor and Keldeo have seen use as a lead so far, and while Greninja has not been 100% banned, he has been banned from OU (Suspect Test) and has a large majority of ban at the moment. I hope he won't be banned any time soon, though he was kinda broken.
Keldeo-Resolute @
Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Hydro Pump
- Icy Wind
- Secret Sword
Keldeo is my designated Scarfer. With an above average 128 Special Attack and 108 Speed, this is an amazing revenge killer. Keldeo may have trouble with movesets, having access to a small amount of Special Moves, the one she does have are powerful and obliterate pink blobs (Hate you Chansey >:D) Hidden Power [Electric] allows for me to hit Flying and Water types hard as a decent sized car. Hydro Pump and Secret Sword are STABs that hit extremely hard. Icy Wind helps for constant slows (if needed) and is a counter to the occasional Diancie and Landorus-T!
Possible Changes: Icy Wind ---> Scald
Talonflame @
Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
Talonflame oh Talonflame.... The ever so annoying Talonflame. Everyone knows what Talonflame is notorious for, but I guess I'll explain it. Talonflame has Gale Wings, which gives +1 Priority to all Flying type moves. Priority Brave Bird and Sharp Beak AND STAB is powerful, even coming from a subpar 97 Attack stat. Flare Blitz is a secondary STAB and Taunt is helpful for a taunt-less team. Talonflame is commonly either my lead or my Set Up Sweeper, sometimes both! Swords Dance allows this to be my Set Up Sweeper and it does wonders!
Scizor @
Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Superpower
Scizor was recommended by Der Twist, and was an awesome recommendation. I used to have a giant Fairy Weakness and this is a threat to all fairies along with Greninja if I can somehow get it out safely. Superpower hits extremely hard against steels, Knock Off is annoying, U-turn keeps momentum (Especially with Greninja) and Bullet Punch is boosted by Choice Band and Technician and deals MASSIVE damage to Fairies! Ev's are standard Bulky Choice Band.
Latias @
Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Healing Wish
- Defog
- Psyshock
- Draco Meteor
I love Latias. My favorite legendary asides Mega-Diancie (That thing just looks pretty). I know what your thinking. Latias is awesome, I have 1 major Stealth Rocks weaknesses, but Latias takes care of that with Defog! Healing Wish has allowed me to sweep so many times, Draco Meter and Psyshock so this thing can actually do damage! 72 HP allows me to live longer, especially letting me take a Ice Beam from Greninja then kill it with Draco Meteor, 252 Speed allows me to make sure I get a Defog / Healing Wish off and 184 SpA so I can kill Greninja with Draco Meteor.
So that's my team! Here is the Exportable if you want to play around with my team (Please give credit and/or link this Rate my Team. And avoid laddering with this team please!)
Thanks for helping prepare my team for more laddering and more fun! Leave suggestions and/or compliments below. Or don't :D Thanks guys and hope you have a WONDERFUL day.
(FYI for any mod, 3 lines is no longer mandatory, on my Computer my resolution is fairly small so it comes up to 4-5 lines, but if you don't see 3, please don't lock it.)
Kyurem-Black @
Choice Band
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 24 HP / 252 Atk / 232 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Outrage
- Rock Slide
- Fusion Bolt
So... Kyurem-Black. This thing hits like a 500 ton truck (Well it does have 482 Attack not including Choice Band) Outrage RIPS through targets like butter and Rock Slide is there for complimentary damage (and Talonflame) Dragon Claw is a safe pick and still rips through Pokemon and Fusion Bolt is there for OOMPHH. 232 speed allows you to outspeed uninvested Mega-Garchomp and Landorus-T and in general this Dragon-Ice type is a GIGANTIC BEAST and rips through foes like a knife through butter. Replaced by Scizor
Greninja @
Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 40 Atk / 216 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- U-turn
Greninja adds a massive amount to my team. He is played as a sacrifice later in the game to safely send out Keldeo-R, Mega-Diancie or Kyruem-B. He keeps momentum with U-turn, does an absurd amount of damage with Surf, Ice Beam and Gunk Shot. He compliments Mega-Diancie well, hitting Water Types with a momentum keeping U-turn or a powerful Gunk Shot. He outspeeds many threats, such as but not limited to Latios and Mega Metagross (All though that Bullet Punch HURTS) and can kill Talonflame! 40 Attack allows Greninja to 1HKO Clefable and Sylveon with Gunk Shot, and 216 Special attack is not much of a loss. (Thanks Der Twist) He is a MASSIVE threat and deserves every right to have a spot on this team! Replaced by Gengar. Banned from OU (Suspect Test)
This Teambuilding process was actually not that hard :D. For SURE I wanted to make a Mega-Diancie revolved Hyper Offensive Team, so I started with that.
