hi, this is my first(and probably last)SM rmt, I am playing with thist team for a long time, and this is probably the final form of it, so i decided to show you guys this team, cause i am very pride, hope you guys like it.
I started the team with this core, cause OTR magearna was starting to get usage, I was underating her potential and decided to try, A-maro is a mon that tooked my heart cause it's very funny to see this little guy that seems gimmick at first look wallbreaking and pivoting in OU,it's the best parner to magearna beating scizor, ferro, heatran, celesteela, toxapex and chansey. AT this time the i choosed Lighthing rod and Stealth Rock.
I searched for good parterns to OTR magearna, and decided to use spikes gren and specs hoopa-u for help, gren is used to set spikes helping all the breakers and beat a lot of mons by himselfl, hoopa-u is nice for heavy damage on everything, lures lando-t, trick against stall is sick, and of course is awesome under TR if needed.
since I have a-maro as second leader of the team I really need a hazzard remover, and i hate using defog since gren could never set-up a lot of layers more than one time per game, luckliy that time i could use queen pheromosa(I used LO+spin+3 attacks) and how i needed a mega i just throw mawile cause of TR
like everybody could predict, mosa got suspected(and banned), since then scarf excadrill is the closest thing we have, also I realised that my team was extremly week to char-y and voclarona, since mawile wasn't doing anything, m-pinsir joined the team, and it's way better, always wallbreak really easy, getting rid of landos, heatrans,charys and volcs that treathen megearna chances of setting up(with m-pinsir joined the team, exca really become necessary), with exca comming to the team, I changed maro to rock head, taking full use of TR(also is really easy to bluff against eletric types).
I faced like 4 ash-grens in a roll and got owned 4 times in a roll, I was forced to change hoopa-u to primarina, making my match-up against stall and lando-t way worse, but primarina really surprised me, it was extremly effective for me, and I could easly support this mon for a rise in the VR. primarina helped me against keldeo, a-gren and rain, while
okay, mega swampert and sceptile hype really affected my team, after facing like 6 swamps in a roll i realised that something needed to change, sadly my new love primarina got replaced by tangrowth turning my weird bulky&slow HO into a BO, tangrowth actually helped a lot, not only beat a-gren, keldeo and rain, but also help against threats to my team like lando-t,rotom-w and zygarde, also i got tired of being walled and stalled by toxapex so i replace hydro pump for extrassensory on gren.
The Squad
Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean

Hasty Nature
- Spikes
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory
my lead, can always set up spikes(unless facing stall), even against koko, since they will always u-turn out when they see a-maro and exca in team preview, can wallbreak early game for my team, and lure toxapex that is very annoying, beat every hazzard remover bar mew and mantine and is my only switch to heatran, that always gets scared letting me set-up another layer of spikes.
Magearna @ Fairium Z
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Fleur Cannon
- Flash Cannon
- Focus Blast
The star of the team, this mon is just ridiculous, from the hole meta i guess that 8 mons may be able to wall it, remove two enemies from opposite team is easy having 3 awesome wallbreakers on the back, click TR, click Twinkle Tackle and then get a boost every turn, and even if you fail to sweep, i guarantee the opposite team will be with a lot of holes, TR can help maro/growth or the hole team when facing rain/SW.
Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Flare Blitz
- Shadow Bone
- Bonemerang
magearna best friend, this thing handle pretty much everything that threat her, ferro, heatran, chansey, celesteela, scizor, pex, causes a lot of switches and can use them to set up rocks, or just straight up kill something, the worst thing about this guy is that he is a lando-t magnet, but making koko and zapdos unable to click eletric type moves(even without lighting rod) is awesome.
Pinsir-Mega @ Pinsirite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Close Combat
- Quick Attack
this wallbreak so easy, from all my games this always get at least 1 or 2 kills, it's so good, specially with hazzard help that make impossible for opposite team keep switching against it, only real counters are zapdos and skarm, both gren and a-maro preys. also is the only thing that can handle +1 volc
Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
my two physicall wallbreakers are rock weak, this means that i really need a spinner, exca is the closest thing to viable spinner in this meta so... Jk exca helps my team by revange killing and i got some games where he was able to late game clean against HO teams, also is the real koko counter.
Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ice]
the bulky side of the team, being the only defensive pivot makes tangrowth sponge a lot of hits for my team, most notably his ability to counter non SSSS lando, keldeo, a-gren, rotom-w, rain and zygarde, well this shit is extremly OP
Pheromosa @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

hey exca! This is a real spinner. Really misses her, always threat warever was on the field, and could aways spin and kill something, getting ever scarier, i know LO spin wasn't standart, but using magearna without z-move is thrashm well really miss her.

nice wallbreaker that got some show time in the team,great against stall and for some reason everybody likes to trow their lando-s against dark pulses, but he was an awful answer to a-gren, so i needed to change.

I was really mad that I had to change hoopa-u for this, but i got really surprised, it was very effective, breaking almost everything hoopa-u could, while also being able to switch against a-gren, keldeo and kingdra, it was very easy to bait ferro and pex since they are always the go to switch(it was hard when the team had both), and could beat celesteela for mag if needed.
