I'm Dragon Claw and I'm here to share my best teams. With those you get better. Or you throw them in your teambuilder for the one time you're playing oras in your life. These teams are mostly optimal although each and every team has it's own strengths and flaws. Use them as you like I don't care about credit or anything. Teams are not "mine" to begin with. I'm going to become the indisputable number one oras player, not of all time but in that moment, by end of SPL XII and giving away what I relied on to win is a stepping stone for me. This thread is one for you too if you wanna get better
Click screens for pastes, not every team of the 35 is new, sometimes you end up with known 6 because they're optimal. I'll mention something below the teams if I feel like it, I won't explain evs. I'm adding a replay of either highladder or a tourgame to every team, sometimes there might still be an umbreon but you'll face similar unmons in smogon tour or seasonal rounds. It's just the first replay I upload w the respective team, no "I win every game" cosmetics. Maybe they'll be helpful hence I'm adding them. Enjoy
#1 - MMeta Breloom Azumarill - replay
mega evolve early, watch out for glisc, amoon mu is rough, plenty of fun and outplay potential. lum on loom is optional. Great for laddering because of prio spam
#2 - MMeta Breloom Crawdaunt - replay
same as above, craw>azu, better against fat teams, worse against other BOs, keldeo matchup shifting from decent to annoying is recognizable
#3 - MMeta Breloom RotomW - replay
same style, better against bo's
#4 - MMeta Crawdaunt RotomW - replay
less breloom more consistency, fire ice torn to not weaken craw knoff, coverage is appreciated more than additional item remover on this sorta team anyway. You'll see fire ice more than once.
#5 - MMeta Clefable Crawdaunt v1 - replay
great team, has been built and played by various people over the past ranging from 2016 to today. Use this version for high level tournament games
#6 - MMeta Clefable Crawdaunt v2 - replay
use this version for seasonals, early st rounds, ladder
#7 - MMeta Excadrill KyuremB - replay - replay
OUPL Semifinals, kyuremb destroys bulky offenses for a living
#8 - MMeta Hippowdon Dragonite - replay
replay showcases the team pretty well
#9 - MSciz Magnezone Weavile - replay
looks like stall, playing feels like playing bulky offense. work w ur trappers
#10 - MSciz Bisharp Serperior - replay
ended up the same as abr's team. team lives and dies by your rotomw skill
#11 - MSciz Bisharp Azumarill - replay - replay
webs woohoo, my spl w4 team
#12 - MDia Talonflame RotomW - replay
use your rotom-diancie core smartly, get rid of clefs lefties asap to apply pressure
#13 - MDia Weavile RotomW - replay
more consistent, less good against scizor.
#14 - MGarde Weavile RotomW - replay
mgarde underrated do some damage calcs yourself, plenty hard to build around, this team gets some real good matchups against some tour teams
#15 - MGarde Crawdaunt RotomW - replay
tested an unusual garde which worked out extremely well, watch out for ferro, garde lives weav cb icicle, tect speed gain and scout super clutch
#16 - MMedi Hydreigon RotomW - replay
ada medi has 656 attack just saying
#17 - MMeta Weavile RotomW - replay
ended up the same as spl ix wolfpack semis team, it's the replay too. one or two sets might be diff, core's the same
#18 - MMeta Weavile Suicune - replay
also ended up like an abr team, he used the 6 in stour top16. Not going to mention this anymore, the core of this bunch of teams just looks like the abr special overall
#19 - MMeta Weavile Latias - replay
focuses on bringing meta in as many times as possible
#20 - MMeta Bisharp Latias - replay
felt like the prime opportunity to test out xray's dumb bisharp set. i don't know about sub>ihead but lefties sure are genius
#21 - MMeta Ferrothorn Jellicent - replay
not too fond of this style personally but spikes + spinblock work well enough to farm some teams while some mus are rly hard to play and require some fishing like the testgame replay vs garay oak
#22 - MTar Heatran Tangrowth - replay
couldn't find a better opposing team this'll have to do. dead hours oras ladder.This one's good but you'll have to juggle your mons carefully if faced with status spam
#23 - MZam Tyranitar Skarmory - replay
having skarm as exca backup opens up stallbreak glisc. Sand + Spikes + spinblock + pursuit + 2 magic guard mons
#24 - MMeta Volcarona RotomW - replay
dead ladder hours. these were pretty common in 2018, I didn't play at that time but I watched a lot of replays. Watch out for other mmetas
#25 - MMeta Weavile RotomW - replay
similar but icier, superpower torn works v well in this environment
#26 - MMedi Tangrowth Sand - replay
built this team for my good friend persephone for oupl finals. Kai the Medicham remember the name. Also watch the replay. mb exca and modest tom are great curveballs and have been working super well
#27 - MMeta Magnezone Garchomp - replay
chomp set catches a lot of people offguard, works nicely w magnezone
#28 - MMeta Magnezone Gyarados - replay
nasty paraflinch team
#29 - MMeta Bisharp Alakazam - replay
psychic spam. similar to xray's offense, you'll see it below. shock zam gets some great mus against teams that rely on tornt too much
#30 - MMeta Heatran Jellicent - replay
Heatran bulky offense. Jelli tran is actually a super annoying utility core
#31 - MMeta Heatran RotomW - replay
same team better against meta and azu
#32 - MMeta Bisharp Azumarill - replay
xray offense. ended up with the same 6, simply a great team
#33 - MAbsol Victini Azumarill - replay
Mega Absol is actually a hidden threat, can be super threatening esp with final gambit tini. It's not even ada but has 399 atk, +2 sucker hurts anything and it ends teams that rely on clefable/rotomw cores to beat dark types since they're usually only laid out to beat weavile.
#34 - MAbsol Manaphy RotomW - replay
similar, more centered around fucking up balances
#35 - MOBAMA SEMIROOM CRAWDAUNT - replay
finishing with a banger and the realest team. Don't give hazard setters free turns. Mega Aboma is incredibly strong and has no switchins on the majority of buky offenses.
(i'm editing replays for the last 10 teams later)
Not sure whether I'm going to expand this or not. Ideally this serves as an ORAS Hub for people to post and discuss teams, usage stats and replays. You see a lot of MMeta Garchomp RotomW itt cause it's the strongest most consistent bulky offense core oras has to offer. Standard is good. Feel free to post submissions, maybe I'll tend to them (I'm usually down to test wild ideas). It's important for me to keep having fun and testing new stuff in the tier I enjoy so join me in the adventures of oras teambuilding. If you're new to the tier post and ask anything you want to know, this thread will become your stepping stone too.
Here are my three favorite teams of mine of last SPL to close out this thread. Send me replays of you playing the teams. Have a nice day everyone
