RMT - Competitive Singles

[Lance_Fireheart]

This team always seems to do well for me, but any help would be much appreciated. All are 5/6IV in all necessary areas, apologies if I look like a noob posting EV spreads:

Aggron (Metal Minion) w/Rocky Helmet
Sturdy
Bold, 252HP, 252DEF, 6ATK

Thunder Wave
Stealth Rock
Stone Edge
Iron Head

My usual lead, with sturdy guarantees a rock setup, 99% of the time Thunder Wave to open, outspeed to set up rocks, then if it survives spam Iron Head for flinch hax.

Talonflame (T-Bird) w/Shell Bell
Gale Wings
Adamant, 252ATK, 252SPE, 6HP

Brave Bird
Flare Blitz
U-Turn
Taunt

Pretty standard, shell bell allows HP recovery after U-Turning when switched into rocks meaning it can survive another switch for last resort priority if I need to.

Garchomp (Toothless) w/Choice Scarf
Rough Skin
Jolly, 252ATK, 252SPE, 6HP

Outrage
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Poison Jab

Standard Garchomp, Poison Jab as I can normally predict a Fairy switch in.

Nidoking(Purple Haze) w/Life Orb
Sheer Force
Modest, 252SPA, 252SPE, 6HP

Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Earth Power

I hate chance, I suck when anything comes down to luck so he is designed to hit hard, fast and quickly.

Lopunny (RampntRabbit) w/Loppunite
Scrappy
Jolly, 252ATK, 252SPE, 6HP

Fake Out
Return
High Jump Kick
Facade

Fake Out ensures stat changes for Mega take place, Facade to counter those pesky Rotoms who think they can burn her. Perfect STAB coverage, what's not to like.

Slurpuff (Cream Dream) w/Sitrus Berry
Unburden
Adamant, can't remember full spread but max ATK, will outspeed Mega-Aerodactly with Unburden, then remainder into HP to ensure Sitrus Berry is triggered immediately after Belly Drum.

Drain Punch
Aromatherapy
Play Rough
Belly Drum

My main sweeper. With rocks out anything with Sturdy/Focus Sash is nullified, this thing is just insane.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Welcome to our forum and metagame!
Some if the movesets and Pokemon you use aren't ideal to OU, which is your tier as you have Talonflame on you team.
-First, I recommend using Tyranitar over Aggron with thus moveset:
@Leftovers/Smooth Rock
248HP/252Def/8SpD
Impish nature, Sand Stream trait
~Stealth Rock
~Stone Edge
~Crunch
~Earthquake

This wilk give you a reliable SR user tgat can still hit for decent damaged.
-252Spe over SpD on Talonflame.
-I do recommend you to run Any Azumarill set over Slurpuff.
-Last note, run a Spinner/Defogger if you use Talonflame.
GL!

I would run Sludge bomb over either Flamethrower or Thunderbolt on Nidoking. The extra STAB damage is better than coverage imo, as this guy should hit as hard as possible.

 

[AnybodyAgrees]

Poison doesn't really hit much that's notable, and even then, sludge wave is far preferable due to the higher BP.

I would, however, use fire blast instead of flamethrower.

Sludge Wave actually hits a little harder since it has 95 Power, while Sludge Bomb has 90 power. Sludge Wave's low 10% chance of poisoning doesn't matter because of Sheer Force. But yes, I agree that Sludge Wave should replace Flamethrower or Thunderbolt

Oh I actually ment Sludge Wave, I got the two messed up.

Thanks for the feedback, Flamethrower has now been replaced with Sludge Wave. I chose to replace Flamethrower because it only really offers me coverage against Ferrothorn, and Steel is weak to Ground anyway. Thunderbolt gives coverage against Skarmory so seems like a no brainer to me.
