Introduction
One week into USUM, after testing endlessly, I've come to the conclusion that STAKATAKA is the best mon in OU, after Naganadel of course. This thing ain't going anywhere near UU, I'm calling this right now, at most BL. And this is my most recent and most successful team so far in USUM, but it's probably not gonna last that long since Naga's gonna get banned like, next week.
Teambuilding Process
Built around the new edition to OU, Stakataka. Decent resistances for OU too. Also kills everything.
Then we have the necessary Naga check on every team. At first I tried to build Offense so Tar fits more than Tran.
I haven't used Mega Medi in a while, so I wanted to try it out in USUM. It can revenge kill with priority, take out Ferro and soften everything for Stakataka in the back.
Next I put Magearna for another Trick Room user and abuser to further support Stakataka.
Lando-T is here for hazard control, originally with both rocks and Defog. Also if you don't have Lando-T you have a 70% chance to lose every ladder game.
Lastly, I decided to use Naganadel since it's gonna be gone soon. Might as well have fun with it first. Naga gives me Dragon-resistances and a sweeper. I also changed Tar and Mag to Tran and Alo cause previously, the team gets 6-0ed by Scizor.
30 minutes after I posted this RMT, Naganedel got banned so I replaced it with Scarf Koko, a decent replacement as a revenge killer.
