Hey guys. I was struggling a bit with this team, it felt like it just couldn't break through some mons so I figured I could get some help here ^.^
Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Solar Beam
- Roost
I started my team with the main mon I decided to build around, Mega Charizard Y. I decided to use it because it is an extremely powerful pokemon. I ran Focus Blast to be able to hit Heatran and Tyranitar (mainly) and solar beam because it helps break many water types, like tapu fini. One of my two special type sweepers/breakers.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- U-turn
- Knock Off
Next, I chose Landorus-Therian. The choice scarf helps out speed and kill Tapu Koko and Mega Manetric, 2 pokemon that seriously threaten Mega Charizard Y. It also serves as a pokemon to switch into on electric types in general. Explosion helps do a large amount of damage to a pokemon as a last ditch effort, U-Turn of course helps with momentum and Knock Off is always useful, being able to knock off Chansey's Eviolite to make it easier to kill.
Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower
- Leech Seed
- Protect
I went with Celesteela next. It's amazing stats makes it a successful wall to many pokemon in OU, and be a general annoyance with Leech Seed + Protect. Heavy slam is a high damage, stab attack which can deal out serious damage to pokemon who don't resist it and flamethrower helps with coverage for Ferrothorn and such.
Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Recover
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
Next up was Latios. I needed a pokemon who could eliminate hazards, seeing as Charizard is 4× weak to rocks. I chose Latios over other hazard eliminators because its high speed and special attack make it also able to punch holes through many teams. Defoe for hazard removal, Recover for... recovery, Draco Meteor for high damage against pokemon who don't resist or are immune to it, and Thunderbolt for coverage (Mainly for situations that it might be in vs Celesteela, Skarmory and a move to hit steel types in general)
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
I needed a Stealth Rocker of my own, so my choice was Ferrothorn. It's high bulk allows it to take hits and get rocks up at the same time. Leech Seed helps it serve as a wall (as well as be a general annoyance), Knock Off is useful for scarfers that may want to switch in on it, as well as Eviolite mons, and power whip is a powerful attack that deals high damage. I opted to go for a Rocky Helmet variant so it can switch in on pokemon that may want to u-turn vs other members of my team, punishing them for doing so.
Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
My final choice was Keldeo. I went for Specs > Scarf because it helps Keldeo break throuh a lot of teams with Hydro Pump, which I find tends to find a lot of Ohko's and 2hkos. I use Hydro Pump and Scale just in case I need Accuracy over Power. Secret Sword for its other Stab, which also helps break Chansey even with the Eviolite, and Icy Wind helps with coverage for Zygarde and Non-Scarf variants of Garchomp.
Thanks for the help ^.^
