FTG Lets Build a Team

The FTG LBAT or also known as the FTG Lets Build a Team was created so we can make a OU Team using everyones opinion at the FTG. You can suggest pokemon,pokemon movesets or both. Due to this expect to see changes of the current pokemon on here.

Current Pokemon:


Tyranitar (M) @ Chople Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit


Gliscor(M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 176 DEF / 80 SPD
Impish Nature (+Def,-SAtk)
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang


Jellicent(M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 196 SDEF / 96 SPD
Calm Nature (+SDef,-Atk)
- Recover
- Taunt
- Toxic / Shadow Ball
- Scald

yeah lets do it!

but i got no idea to pick....lol

How about trick room reuniclus? It works pretty well

How about a SubRoost DTail Dragonite,always works well with lots of hazards

Tyranitar (M) @ Chople Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit


Cud b our stealth rock setter upper guy werks rly well

ok so we have a tyranitar and it looks good too

Gliscor has great synergy with tyranitar. he can switch in to take those tough fighting/ground/bug type moves that threaten him.

Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

Moves:
Subsitute
Toxic
Earthquake
Ice Fang

Toxic and subsitute with poison heal make a great stall for pokemon that lack special attack power. he can withstand most physical attackers and kill them slowly with toxic. Earthquake gets a mighty STAB and as for flying types, Ice fang should deal with them.

Trio, trio, trio!!!

Dugtrio: Arena Trap
Jolly Hp8 Atk248 Spe252
Item: Expert Belt/Muscle Band
Moves: - Earthquake - Reversal - Sucker Punch - Substitute
Great trapper once you got some momentum going. Also a great revenge killer. Biggest threat to this guy is priority users.

I'll add the gliscor but a dugtrio isnt that useful on a sand team,its to frail and is gliscor is just more bulky

You can put a Jellicent in there to take care of ice,fighting and water attacks

Jellicent (F) @ Leftovers
Ability:Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 220 SDef
Nature: Calm

- Recover
- Toxic
- Scald
- Shadow Ball

This is a good idea!!

i put in a jellicent with my variant set,so now we need some more offensive based pokes

a choice scarfed flygon can outspeed a lot of pokemon so he can play a role as an in and out sweeper maybe.

Flygon with a 328 base attack
choice scarf
Outrage/Dragon claw
Earthquake
U-Turn
Fire punch

Do we need a fighting type?

Flygon is good in UU but in OU I think a scarf landorus does better.
How about adding a RP Genesect

Genesect @Expert Belt
Modest Nature (+SAtk,-Atk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

- Rock Polish
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain / Thunderbolt

yea i agree RK but the reason i chose Flygon is because with tyranitar, gliscor, and jellicent, we have half of the same team that everyone else in the OU tier does. we're creating a team so we need to try and be original. with that said, genesect is out of the question.

hmm rp genesect is actually pretty rare seeing as everyone uns scarf,i may put it in with a different ev spread

totally right tom, totally right

How about Alakazam? @Life Orb
Psyshock
shadow ball
focus blast
HP ice
252 Spa/252 Spe/4 Spe

He takes no sand damage, and he can be the special sweeper of the team. With HP ice he can take out some dragon types.

lol i was gonna say this xD and hp fire is better because dragons arent threatening in a sandstorm, steel types are.

True

It would be possible that make a stallteam with 2 cleaners, that are Band Tyranitar and another poke (maybe Stoutland). jellicent-Gliscor as a basic stallcore works pretty well, what we could add there is a ferrothorn AND/OR Heatran, so you get rocks (Heatran) and spikes (Ferrothorn). After this Tyranitar and the second cleaner are actually able to beat up teams.
Another choice would be a semi stall team, but then we'd need to run a celebi or lati@s not to be weak to special landorus which is a threat nowadays. So if we run that i would use TTar/Celebi/Jellicent/Terrakion/Skarmory or Forretress/Rotom-wash. Should actually take care of the most of the meta. Possible would also be Latios > Rotom, but if we do so we could use Shaymin > Celebi not to lose synergy (psychic/psychic).
In general I like the basic idea of the team, but we need speed so we should use something that can take care of quite a lot threats we have and that has speed at the same time. Sooo I'd say either Scarf Terrakion (beats Volcarona, sun, Genesect), Scarf keldeo (beats rain, Genesect [check], special Landorus [at full health]). Both pretty popular in the meta, we could also use something less expected like Scarf Jirachi or Scarf Latios (both with trick), but if we decide to do so we could use spikes + SR to force the opponent to switch when they bring in a poke that used to wall your scarf-tricker, so it'd be like a semi stall team with an alternate cleaner. :]

Awsome dude,but would a hippodon be good to win weather wars?

i think a golduck would be a great pokemon for that flash have it take out threats with weather then swap in yours

Hippo is always good but I prefer ttar for winning weather wars since it resists fire (sun) and it gets the big SpD raise which makes it more immune to water (rain) while ice doesn't do much anyways (hail). Hippo can take those too, I used it very often in the end of BW1. But I wouldn't like it as much anymore because it's mostly setup-fodder for RP Genesect and also weak to Keldeo's water moves as rain is also more common nowadays. We could use band ttar AND SR hippo, that'd be the classic double sand core but I haven't played it for a while, guess we'd need to try it out. ~

But doesn't the sandstorm increase every steel-, rock-, and ground-type's sp. def by .5x?
If that's true we could have a physical sweeper or something for those steel types.

No it's only rock types that get the spdef boost
