OU Team - in need of your help!

[raychuu]

So, I felt like playing shoddy today. I tailored a team first with my favouites, then with one or two to make the team better. I did a few battles and liked the playstyle offered. Now, unto the real thing,

Doomy - The Truck Lead

Dragonite @ Life Orb
Quiet
Inner Focus
252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Fire Blast
~ ExtremeSpeed
~ Earthquake

The deal is - hit them hard, don't worry about set ups. Draco Meteor hits most leads for an incredible damage, Fire Blast offers help against the Steel leads, Extremespeed is good to catch faster but frail leads and EQ helps against the likes of Infernape. I have had problems with Aero, but only because I was not prepared. Empoleon pairs up well with 'nite and he is a good counter against Aero.

Bo - The Sweeper who likes Substitutes

Gengar @ Leftovers
Timid
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Substitute
~ Shadow Ball
~ Focus Blast
~ Hypnosis

I love how easy it is to get Gengar in play - his immunity to at least 3 types is amazing. He hits hard and fast, and grats to Sub and his devil speed he can manage to "tank" if needed. Hyp works well on predicted switches, even if it's not that reliable. Shadow Ball and Focus Blast offer a very nice coverage, though Focus Blast can let me down sometimes.


Emperor - Tank 'em, Crush 'em

Empoleon @ Leftovers
Calm
Torrent
252 HP / 160 Def / 92 SpD / 4 Spe
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Stealth Rock
~ Yawn

Very nice overall tank, able to cause some havoc with Surf and Ice Beam. Yawn is incredible, the opponent either switches or falls asleep in the next turn. Either way, this let's the fella to set up SR and then procced to some sweeping fun. He can't heal himself properly, though, but that's not much of a problem.

Blacky - The Supporter who likes to Tank

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Careful
Synchronize
252 HP / 92 SpD / 164 Spe
~ Wish
~ Payback
~ Protect
~ Yawn

A really nice supporter. She can yawn, then wish, then either pass the Wish if the target fell asleep, repeat if that isn't the case, do some minor sweeping or stall. For that, I love this little critter.

Scorp - The Dancer of Death

Gliscor @ Life Orb
Jolly
Hyper Cutter
40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Earthquake
~ Stone Edge
~ Roost

An ice attack can screw him up, but if I manage to get one (or more!) sword's dance up this guy rocks with EQ and the risky stone edge. Since he's naturally bulky he can stall a bit with the help of roost, or just regen the HP lost from damage taken and Life Orb. I also love his immunity to electric and ground, making it easier to get him in play.

Joy - That Headache Bitchy Tank!

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm
Natural Cure
4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
~ Wish
~ Protect
~ Seismic Toss
~ Toxic

She is amazing, takes even large hits and still holds her ground. Toxic -> Wish -> Protect combo is lethal and amazing, and Seismic toss is a great help as a finisher. Her nemesis is Gengar, immune to both Toxic and Seismic Toss. In this case, the best is to switch to anyone else, though Blacky is generally the best option.



And that's it. Thanks for reading and I'll be waiting your feedback! (I may add images later).

You wouldn't have a problem with the standard All Attacking Machamp Lead, do you? It's got Dynamic Punch, Ice Punch, Bullet Punch, and Payback. It seems like it could beat your whole team.

*shrug* Maybe. Haven't faced one yet so I can't tell. Theorically, yes, it could give me some (mayhaps big) headaches. But when it comes to action, you never know. Do you have any suggestion against those anyway? Always here to listen.

Honestly I would do a few more battles...maybe over a week and then post a RMT...not one day but w/e.

I would probably use Pain Split Gengar here as it can beat most walls, and if you play well you can even beat Bliseey with it. I say that because Hypnosis can be terrible to rely on at times and if there is sandstorm/hail up your ability to create Substitues will be limited, unlike if you had Pain Split you could just revive yourself.

Basically a Breloom bait. Swampert, Vaporeon, and CroCune could sit out there the whole day with it until it dies. I'd recommend Grass Knot...unless you want to try and scare them away with Yawn.

This seems like you just added a random sweeper to the team. It doesn't look like it fits on the team. And it just makes your weakness to MixApe that much bigger since it can't outspeed it and it dies to HP Ice.
