ORAS OU The New VoltTurn

[Biskit]

Hey guys, Biskit back at ya with another rmt, teambuilding thingy. This is a team I made today and I've been messing around with. I'm not the greatest ladderer, but I did hit 1500 no sweat. I'd like to see how far it gets with those of you who are good ladder players. I always enjoyed building more anyways.

Regardless, onto the team

Team Overview:

-----------------------------------------------------

Beedrill-Mega @ Beedrillite
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Poison Jab
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Protect
​

Basically the reason I decided to build this team, beedrill is slowly becoming viable again, with its ability to 2HKO so much of the metagame. Poison jab and U-turn are obligatory STAB adapability boosted. Protect is for a guaranteed mega evo (for when I'm not feeling ballsy enough to not protect). I chose knock off over drill run because heatran gets worn down fast by rotom + lando-T + raikou, and even it doesn't appreciate losing its item.

-----------------------------------------------------

Raikou @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
​

What would a voltTurn team be without any volt? I chose raikou for its great speed. Specs is to give it decent power. I chose a standard spread with the ev's. Volt switch the volt, Tbolt is the best STAB, hp ice for the likes of lando-T, and chomper. Shadow ball hits neutrally a lot, as well as decimating Megagross and the lati's.

-----------------------------------------------------

Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 228 Def / 16 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
​

Next I wanted a physically defensive wall as well as Stealth Rocks. I chose lando-T over the more popular garchomp because of the nice intimidate buffer, as well its immunity to ground. Earthquake and Stone Edge for STAB and coverage. Gives me a decently slow U-turn, as well as just being a useful move in general.

-----------------------------------------------------

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 40 Def / 220 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 30 Spe
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
​

Wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with this guys ev's, but I decided since I have a defensive wall, I'll go spdef on this one. Very standard rotom set. I went for the 30 ev's so I could outslow other rotom. This is my slow volt switcher, and can give me a free switch into one of my frailer mons, AKA beedrill or raikou.

-----------------------------------------------------

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 SpD
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Flamethrower
- Soft-Boiled
​

At this point, I had a glaring dragon weakness, nothing likes switching in on lati's. Calm mind clef packs a punch, and gives me a way of dealing with sab stall teams a bit better (watch out for goth though). EV's are to live 2 psyshocks from LO lati. Flamethrower is for ferrothorn and scizor's who try and be predicting the switch.

-----------------------------------------------------

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish
- Defog
​

Lati gives me a good switch into keldeo, which I lack (although rotom + clef do a decent job). Furthermore it provides defog, which is a must seeing how my team is so weak to hazards by nature. I chose her over her brother for healing wish, as it can save any one of my other members. I believe this spread was used back when greninja was around, but I like the extra bulk provided by the 72 hp.

Hi! The team seems solid but It has big weakness to setup sweepers, especially Volcarona, because Clefable lacks Unaware, it will be able to use it as a setup bait and Sweep

To proof my point:

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Giga Drain vs. 248 HP / 220+ SpD Rotom-W: 178-210 (58.7 - 69.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

You wont be able KO back because Hydro miss deals 47 percent at +1

Lando is not able to switch:

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 16 SpD Landorus-T: 327-385 (85.6 - 100.7%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Poor Latias...

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Bug Buzz vs. 72 HP / 0 SpD Latias: 362-428 (113.4 - 134.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Even Raikou:

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Fire Blast vs. 32 HP / 0 SpD Raikou: 277-327 (84.1 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

At +2 you have nothing to do.

I was thinking and I suggest to Change Lando For Defensive or Offensive Heatran, i know you are losing a U-Turn user, but you get a safe switch into Volcarona, Zard X( If they lack HP ground and EQ respectively) Serperior and M-Sableye's Will-O-Wisp and threat them with powerful attacks, also Rotom-W is better as physical tank so change his spread, and last change Magic Guard to Unaware on Clefable to win boosting wars with M-Sableye, Serperior, Manaphy and other CM users.

That's all for now. PM me if you have a problem with the team and I will be pleased to help you!
