Lazy Player Needs Help. RMT OU (RATE MY TEAM)

[LLewliet]

I'm bad at teambuilding, I mainly build gimmicky teams with my lovely cute  I love so much <3

 

Plus, I seriously haven't played PokeMMO for months due to studies and because of the traumas this game has given me  -vietnam flashbacks with scald burns, crits, 95% accuracy misses and ice beam freezes-

   So today, I decided to build a quick team around Volt/Turn spam, with 2 priority moves:

- Bullet Punch from Choice Band  

 

- Mach Punch from Cancerous 

 

And a Support  with Wish.

 

 

- For those who notice some weird Speed EV spreads, they're used to outspeed some 70 Base stats pokes like Mantine, Skarmory, Slow Magnezone only invested to outspeed skarmory (why not) and Non Invested Metagross. 

 

- I'm still not sure about the EV spread on conkeldurr, I feel like it loses a lot of bulk, so I might change it.  

 

- I also feel like my team is very weak to hazard stacking, but I aim to use this kind of playstyle on my skarmory as well to cripple down my foe's pokes with the Volt/Turn spam and sweep with either Bullet Punch or Mach Punch. I don't know if I should just run Defog.

 

Now for an not so in-depth analysis of each poke:

 

   

 

  1. Superpower to kill a magnezone if the opponent expected a RK Bullet Punch, or in other scenarios, killing a non invested magnezone (if that ever happens). 

  2. Pursuit for the Choice Item psychic Types and Gengar that annoy the rest of my team, and to punish the switch from the prediction of a Bullet Punch 

  3. Bullet Punch is self-explanatory.

  4. U-Turn is self-explanatory.

The best pivot and trapper for my team. Its typing permits to switch on Gengar, Alakazam, Reuniclus, Hydreigon, Starmie, Bla Bla Bla and threatens them with an U-Turn (if Choice item), or a Bullet Punch...or kills them with a Pursuit on the switch!

 

   

 

Classic set, self-explanatory:

It fits well the team as it permits to switch on most of the threats like Non-Toxic Reuniclus and Hydreigon. It works as a reliable hazer for most of the setup sweepers, and in case, I still have 2 priority moves and a scarf Hydreigon. Finally, it permits me to survive against weather teams and especially rain teams with Specs Kingdra.

 

 

Classic set, self-explanatory:

It permits to switch on a lot of stuff: predicted Stealth Rock on a ferrothorn, Blissey/Chansey that can't do anything to him, Dark Pulse Scarf Hydreigon, scald from Mantine or Milotic, etc... and threatens them with drain punch and facade. Mach Punch adds another priority move in my team in the worst scenarios, and for a late game sweep thanks to hazard stacking and Volt/Turn spam. I'm not sure about Thunder Punch since Facade already does the job but I don't know which move would be useful on him. Also, thanks to Drain Punch and its bulk, it can recover any resisted move and those coming from semi-passive pokes.

 

 

         

Classic set, with a bit of originality:

I use the Expert Belt over leftovers or life orb to fake a Choice specs/Scarf. It is surprisingly useful as it permits, when time is needed, to surprise the enemy with an unexpected Wish and heal a weaken ally (a conkeldurr or scizor for exemple). As my team is a bit more offensive and none of my offensive pokes except him can heal itself, it is a key move that can really save my a$h. Its typing and decent bulk can also allow to heal himself. Volt Switch and Wish are a great combo and adding Hidden Power Ice bring a perfect coverage to harm dragon and ground types. 

 

 

     

Classic Hazard Stacking set:

Mainly used to deal with sand teams (I should still be aware of CB Tyranitar or its Ice beam/ Fire Blast set) and conkeldurr. It should at least be able to put one or two layers of spikes and the Stealth Rock. Brave Bird and Roost are necessary for staying power and to cripple down (or even kill) some threats like conkeldurr and in general, not staying too passive. I don't really need to run another hazer set. 

 

 

     

Cancerous set:

I added another u-turn user cause it's always useful to keep momentum. Its typing and ability permits easy switches (on earthquakes targetting jolteon for exemple). Its bulk paired with jolteon's Wish offers a great staying power. I play it scarf cause I feel like I need more speed in my team, but I can also play it Specs Modest as a wallbreaker. Its psychic immunity is very useful in case I lose my scizor.
