Pokemon City Championships OU team.

[Pokemon_Trainer_Nate]

I made an OU team for the Pokemon City Championships. I still have no losses and I need help to keep on going and not lose. If you have any tips please do reply.

Latias
Item: Leftovers
Calm Mind
Recover
Dragon Pulse
Psyshock

Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 HP/4 Sp.Atk/252 Speed

This Pokemon is usually my lead, as it sets up 3 Calm Minds first for stat investment. Then I just attack with Dragon Pulse (or Psyshock for Pokemon such as Blissey) and get the opponent's lead to red or OHKO the lead.

Latios
Item: Expert Belt
Draco Meteor
Surf
Dragon Pulse
Psyshock

Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed

This is usually the revenge killer. After Latias gets knocked out, this comes out to get brotherly revenge by using Dragon Pulse or Psyshock. It's an Offensive set, which is why it's my main revenge killer.

Hydreigon
Item: Life Orb
Draco Meteor
Fire Blast
Superpower
Dark Pulse

Nature: Mild
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed

When Latios is down, this comes out to steal the show with a STAB Life Orbed Dark Pulse to put as much damage as possible on the opponent. It's a good Special Attaker, so my Dark Pulse does a crapload of damage.

Salamence
Item: Choice Scarf
Outrage
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Blast

Nature: Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed

With it's Hidden Ability Moxie, this Pokemon is a powerhouse as soon as a few Attack boosts come up. It has Choice Scarf to increase Speed by 50%, so this thing is faster than Latios. I like to go for Dragon Claw first instead of Outrage, as I hate to be locked into a move that causes confusion.

Gastrodon
Item:Leftovers
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Toxic
Recover

Nature: Sassy
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Sp.Atk/ 252 SpD

This is my special wall. It also has some physical bulk to take a Choice Band Bullet Punch from a Scizor like a boss. When all my attackers are all down, I just use my two stallers. I Toxic the Pokemon first unless it's a Poison type or Steel type. I just use an Earthquake on those two then Recover. After Toxic, I would just wait for it to pay off with Ice Beams and Earthquakes.

Blissey
Item: Leftovers
Stealth Rock
Softboiled
Flamethrower
Thunder Wave

Nature: Calm
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Def/ 252 Sp.Def

This is my main stall because of T-Wave and Stealth Rock. If it gets me past half, there goes Softboiled to get to full HP. Then i have to keep on using Flamethrower, as it's my only attack move. I would replace it with Seismic Toss if i had time.



That's it. Give me some feedback and I'll take your opinions into action. Thanks for your help.

Fairly sure there's a rule in existence about only allowing 2 OU Dragons per team. It's what makes MonoDragon so impossibly hard to make.

Blue Harvest edit - This is not at all true

[azeem40]

There is no rule like that. You've heard of 4Drag2Mag right?

[Atrocious]

Mono-Dragon for monotype teams only allow 2 OU dragons.

[loco1234]

There is no rule like that. You've heard of 4Drag2Mag right?

Of course. Someone here told me about that rule when I posted a 4drag2mag team xD

I'll be reposting it at some point this weekend then. My apologies.

[EonDragonFTW]

But there's no mag on this team....

[azeem40]

In my initial plans, I always end up having a Mag in it, but when the team is finalized, it never makes it.

@Eon: We are talking about 2 OU Drags in a team. I just mentioned Mag cuz when I think of Drags I think Magneton/zone.

[mcdanger]

drag mag sucks unless you face a clear skies team. Its also not as effective as it was DPP because of team preview.
for the first actual rate

Mamoswine destroys this team. The lati twins are 2hko via ice shard, gastro is a 2hko via earthquake so nothing can really switch in against him. I would drop half the dragons and start, probably hydreigon and latias.
Give latios a LO, it lets him 2hko banded tar via surf with rocks, or double damage roll. I would switch gastrodon for offensive celebi to handle keldeo and scizor/thunderus depending on if you run hp fire or ice. I would drop blissey for choice band scizor, as he helps handle mamoswine, and adds a powerful priority to the team. I would add deoxys def for hazards just because rocks + 1 layer of spikes takes away 25% for most pokemon, making it easier on salamence to clean up late game. For the final spot, I suggest Gengar as he spin blocks, and a sub 3 attack set will bait in scizor who can be KOed with hp fire, so ceelbi can run HP ice for landorus therian and thunderus therian.

Since when was there a rule saying you could only have 2 OU dragons per team? I've taken on a team with Hydreigon/Garchomp/Kyurem Black/Dragonite/Latios/Haxorus and won. No joke.

[loco1234]

It's a Monotype thing I'd been told applied to OU as well. It's just for the Monotype tier, as it turns out.

[Pokemon_Trainer_Nate]

I'll add a Deoxys-D, but I'm needing a Fire type to resist Ice Shard's priority. It's also a coincidence that I just went up against a Mamoswine and it ****** up my team.

fires are destroyed by mamo because of thick fat, keldeo is a better option then a fire, but imo inferior to scizor
