Pokémon White Team

[Latios Master]

This is the OU team I plan on putting together when I get Pokemon White. I've been out of Pokémon for a couple of years, and the last time I put together a competitive team was for gen 3. I've spent a lot of time during the last couple of months trying to learn as much as I can about the current metagame. If you think this team is terrible, please tell me, but please give me suggestions as to how I can make it better.



#385 Jirachi: Steel/Psychic, Hasty, Serene Grace, Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 SpD / 252 Spe
Stealth Rock
U-Turn
Fire Punch
Iron Head

I think this works as a good lead for my team. Timid would be a better nature, but I have no way of getting one with it. I'm unsure about the item. Choice Scarf looks like the recommended item, but I prefer not to use it. It works well with Tyranitar's Sandstream. Serene Grace gives Iron Head a 60% flinch rate and Fire Punch a 60% burn rate. Fire Punch works well against other Steel types, especially against Ferrothorn.



#248 Tyranitar: Rock/Dark, Jolly, Sandstream, Item: Leftovers
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Earthquake
Stone Edge

The centerpiece of the team. Sandstream helps out Archeops, and Jirachi works well with it. I'm not sure if I should go with the DD set or not.



#121 Starmie: Water/Psychic, Timid, Natural Cure, Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 SpA / 6 Sp D / 252 Spe
Rapid Spin
Recover
Thunderbolt
Surf

My Rapid Spinner. Covers a lot of my weaknesses: Rapid Spin for entry hazards such as Stealth Rock which would destroy Archeops, Thunderbolt for my Water weakness with Tyranitar and Archeops, and Surf for my Fire weakness with Jirachi.



#609 Chandelure: Ghost/Fire, Timid, Flash Fire, Item: Leftovers
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
Flamethrower
Energy Ball

My favorite Ghost Pokémon. I can't decide between Energy Ball and Hidden Power [Fighting]. He covers my Grass weakness with Tyranitar and Starmie.



#567 Archeops: Rock/Flying, Jolly, Faint Hearted, Item: Flight Jewel
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Acrobatics
Endeavor
Earthquake
Stone Edge

My favorite gen 5 Pokémon. I had a tough time deciding between Stone Edge and Rock Slide. I'm not sure about Endeavor. U-Turn is a possibility. Tyranitar's Sandstream helps raise his defenses from pathetic to poor. Flight Jewel gives Acrobatics a very powerful first move. Acrobatics helps against Fighting and Grass types.



#381 Latios: Dragon/Psychic, Levitate, Modest, Item: Leftovers
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Recover
Psychic
Dragon Pulse
Calm Mind

My favorite Pokémon. Timid would be a better nature, but I don't have one with it. Psychic covers my Fighting weakness.

I may have gone a little overboard with the Leftovers.

First off, ScarfRachi works best as a lead, and without Choice Scarf, you should never use Jirachi as a lead.
Second, this is the best Starmie set for a spinner:
LO, Timid, 252 SAtk / 252 Spe, Pump/BoltBeam/Spin
Third, Chandelure sucks. If you like a Ghost type, use Burungeru or something.
