SM RU Berry Girl Squad

[teachable]

Introduction

Hiya everyone, Teachable here with another unconventional team <3. I have strong opinions about every tier I play, so here we are with another weird teachable squad. S/O to EviGaro again for Omastar idea <3.

Teambuilding Process

Hide

So I seriously believe LO Roserade is the best breaker in RU at the moment, with Sleep Powder this thing is so nutty. With there I setup on how to work the rest of this team out.

With Entei in the tier, most people have been using Barbacle to take advantage of it and setup but IMO this monster is SO much better.

This mon is also broken so it made its way into my squad to break balance squads.

My team was pretty Espeon and Necro weak, so I decided to throw on Escav as my steel type since its still really offensive.

Never forget a rocker lol.

Moderately slow team, I needed some speed control so here it is.

The Team

Hide

broken (Roserade) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Sleep Powder

Sleep is really broken and this thing is already obnoxiously strong, so here we have IMO the most broken Pokemon in RU. Sleep lets you beat walls with Sludge Bomb, Leaf Storm is strong as hell, and Hidden Power fire lets you threaten opposing Steels. Not much to say, this Pokemon is so nutty.

broken 2 (Medicham) @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Psycho Cut
- Bullet Punch
- Bulk Up

The other star of the team, breaks through teams and gets tons of free switch ins from Flygon's u-turn and Roserade forcing opponents to burn a Sleep turn. Fightinium Z to avoid guessing with Protect, lets me instantly nuke something. Bulk Up lets me break through balance squads and beat Gligar without needing Ice Punch, letting me sweep if their Scarfer is Gardevoir or something. All in all, the utility of Priority is very worth it.

:x (Omastar) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Surf
- Shell Smash

Just like Barbacle, Omastar takes advantage of broken Entei to sweep squads. With a Shuca, it can setup on banded Entei/Zygarde and stay healthy enough to live Banded EQ. Waterium would be a cool choice but overall I've liked Shuca a lot more.

steely (Escavalier) @ Occa Berry
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 204 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
- Pursuit

With a team very weak to Necrozma, I decided to run this really cool gen 4 style lure set with Occa berry. This set lives a fire move from most mons and keeps them low enough to pick off with Flygon's U-turn or something similar. Overall a really cool set that I recommend trying. This mon makes sure I don't lose to a lot of random stuff like Flygon since its bulky as shit and really nice.

I need rocks Lol (Nidoqueen) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Toxic

Nidoqueen is the Stealth Rocker that has really fallen outta favor and I don't think that should be the case. It's still really good and has been really great at applying offensive pressure. Toxic lets me nail Mega toise on the switch so I can weaken it further with Escav'd Pursuit.

O.O (Flygon) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Defog

Speed control/Defog support with U-turn is all this team could ask for. Bringing in Medicham/Roserade usually means my opponent picks a mon to sac, so this mon is hella good considering Medicham threatens stuff like Milotic/Chesnaught. Great scarfer tbh.

Hiya, cool team!!

I really like the idea of Omastar as it doesn't fear burns from Entei unlike Barbaracle, which really doesn't appreciate them!

This team looks like it can struggle with some other Fire-types however, most particularly Ninetales which can get a KO every time it comes in for free. It also looks like it could have some trouble with Bronzong as Protect Psywave will be able to not get trapped as easily unless it gets Knocked predicting a Banded Pursuit coming, which is not out of the question though, and Medicham can put in some work with good prediction. I do like Occa being able to catch a lot of mons that run Fire coverage thinking that they can pick off a weakened Escavalier.

Overall, a really good team, love seeing your innovative stuff both here and in OU :)
