Knights of the Rush
Hows it going? This is my second RMT I have made and I'm bringing a balanced offense team to the table. Currently, I have 14 wins and 3 losses, but I am on an 8 W streak atm.
(Sorry ahead of time for the way the icons look below, but hey as long as it works right?)
Teambuilding Process:
So first I wanted to build a team around mega-medicham. Which is what starts my team off
Then I also wanted to include Tapu Koko, because well, Tapu Koko is broken and it also gives a bit of momentum to the team. Koko also ironically serves as my team's Ferrothorn counter.
Then I needed a stealth rock setter that could deal with meta threats like landorus-therian and zygarde, so I picked up Mamoswine which can switch into an zygarde and landot, also hitting it very very hard.
From here I just thought of a really good ultra beast to go with this, and I picked up kartana due to its incredible sweeping potential.
After I wanted to really include araquanid into a team because I felt like although its damage is pretty garbage, with a splash plate liquidation has 204 damage base after water bubble. It ohkos defensive chomp too btw.
Last but definitely not least (araquanid is least) we have volcarona. I tend to save volcarona for whatever reason, mostly because of rocks which murders it. Volcarona serves as an incredible setup sweeper which does a 90% bug buzz to a gren with no stat boosts.
Now on for the sets:
Ability: Thick Fat
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 156 HP / 116 Atk / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
Standard stealth rock setter/sweeper mamo set, the speed is set to outspeed a Scizor-Mega, kill landot and take an eq. Mamo's role is basically to get rid of any threats in the team. The most interesting part is most likely the metronome. I got this set (don't remember where) but it works out great, the stab on the mon coupled with metronme makes it into an ultra beast of sorts which is great for hitting Ho teams hard.
Medicham-Mega (M) @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Bullet Punch
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
Standard MMcham set to take down most OU threats like Heatran, Gren, Tapu (Except Lele, bc bullet doesnt work in psych terrain), and does end up outspeeding mega-mawile which is a plus making this a great sweeper. Hjk for 195 damage after stab, zen for 120 damage after stab. and Fake Out to break sturdies and such, and bullet to hit faster monsters.
Araquanid (M) @ Splash Plate/Choice Band
Ability: Water Bubble
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Poison Jab
- Crunch
- Leech Life
Now most araquanids are sticky web setters, which suck in my opinion I made mine a sweeper mine ohkos chomp, tran, koko, and 83% to lele. I currently am testing Ash-Gren in araquanid's place which is working well (For the 5 matches I did with him) (Ill put the ash-gren set at the end) But I use araquanid as a heatran switch in (Nobody really plays against it for some odd reason) or a early game sweeper. He does also abuse trick room if you do end up facing one which is great for my and this team's sort of playstyle.
Tapu Koko @ Tapunium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Dazzling Gleam
- Nature's Madness
This is my tank killer koko set. Z natures madness kills a big tank like ferro, volt switch after is a kill. Koko and Lele, in my opinion, are the two best legendary pokemon in the metagame (Besides the ultrabeasts) and adding koko does give good synergy to the team.
Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Smart Strike
- Sacred Sword
- Defog
Kartana sweeper, used as defogger as well. Once kartana gets a kill with scarf, beast boost just ends up snowballing to an absolute Ultra Beast. But serioulsy, this is literally a great monster for this team and I think the setup sweeper, kartana is insanely great.
Volcarona (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Hurricane
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
Volcarona is my late game setup sweeper it is super good for taking down m-medicham with ease after a +1 from quiver. Also giving it hurricane over heat wave lets it hit mvenu and kill w/ or w/o stat boosts. The fiery dance is there because, well, fiery dance is a great move.
And the Gren Set:
Greninja-Ash @ Choice Specs
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Water Shuriken
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
Ash-Greninja is one of the most dangerous sweepers in OU right now. Once It gets battle bond it has 605 spa after specs and 399 unforgiving speed. Water shuriken is a 25 stab move, hitting 3 times, and +1 priority, so basically a techinician bullet seed after stab with increased priority. Ice Beam to slap zygarde, dark pulse to combo with tapu on a tank killer (z-natures) and hydro for that cool 165 damage smackdown.
Anyways, thanks for reading and I'll keep you posted.
