Hi everyone. First of all, I've been disconnected from Pokemon for at least 8 or 9 months, so I am by the moment a bit outside with what is the current meta. I've read enough threads to know the basics about the new meta and I decided to play OU again.
I have to say that I'm not a OU player, I never enjoyed enough to give it so much time. I enjoy play Monotype or Uber the most. I reached Uber top 10 in Showdown about 2013 and now I see I can do something in OU, so I show you this team here, and please, say whatever you want to say from the respect. I will take any thought or any sugest from all of you.
Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
Metagross is my main physical sweeper. As you can see, with Metagrossite/Jolly Nature and my EV spread I can outspeed all 110 Base Speed pokes with no boost, if they have neutral speed nature. 252 Atk is to deal the most damage. Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt are my main STAB moves. Earthquake to deal with Excadrill, Heatran, etc. And in the last place, Bullet Punch for priority and fast revenge kill low objetives.
Thundurus @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Thundurus is one of the best checks for me, I can outspeed a lot of threats to Metagross, such as all 110 base Speed with no boost on them. I prefer defiant over pransker because I choose Superpower over thunder wave, and it can also works a lot against Landorus-T starters, OHKOing him if no sash.
Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
I really love playing this pokemon. With choice specs and magnet pull I can 2HKO Ferrothorn, Scizor and Skarmory with HP-Fire. Volt Swich for checking scalding menaces such as Vaporeon or Keldeo and gain a very strong momentum. Flash Cannon and Thunderbolt to a base 130 Sp. Atk STAB.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock
This will be my starter 95% of the times. Due to his great speed, he can set stealth rock and give a free check against most of the counters of Metagross. Earthquake to powerfull STAB and 2HKO Blissey. Stone Edge to deal powerfull sweepers such as Charizard-Y, Talonflame and Volcarona. Can even works well against Altaria before he turns mega.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Pain Split
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
Rotom has good sinergy with Magnezone and Metagross. He can check ground type menaces to Metagross and Magnezone thanks to his ability. His bulkyness makes him almost OHKOed and can go in to check physical sweepers and Will-O-Wisp them to reduce the kill potential.
Keldeo @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Sacred Sword
- Substitute
My last pokemon will be Keldeo. He is my main special sweeper and I'll want to be as fast as possible to outspeed most of the threats of the enemy team. Thanks to Substitute, I can win a free Calm Mind againt counters and favorable matchups, otherwise, I'll simply hit or change into a favorable matchup on my team.
Well, this was my team, I hope you like it, and all the help you can give will be well recived.
