Teambuilding

This is an early version of my team. It worked very well for me on the main PO server. That is, unless I came across an SD Scizor. Those things just raped my team. To that end, I made several changes.

Magnezone takes out Scizor easily. However, I lacked a spinner. To that end, I remade the team.

Who am I kidding? I tested it out, then switched it back. Now this team was ready for the Smogon server.

This is my current team. I put Chandelure over Magnezone, which has been doing better than Chandelure has ever done. However, I need a spinner if I want to run 2 Pokes weak to SR, so I put Starmie onto the team.

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Nature: Jolly
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Extremespeed

This guy is my sweeper. I usually send it out first to get a DD and then take down the first two Pokemon on the opponent's team. If the first Pokemon is a Ferrothorn, I switch to Chandelure. Thanks to Multiscale, it actually is able to KO the first Pokemon most of the time. The EVs outspeed Base 70s and Base 130s with a Dragon Dance. Sometimes, though rarely, I am unable to set up on the first Pokemon and so must come in later for a sweep. I am considering a bulkier set.

Chandelure @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-Flamethrower

Chandelure is my trapper. Unlike Magnezone, Chandelure can trap all Pokemon and subject them to a very slow and painful torture known as Sub-CM. I try to come in on Scarf Terrakion's Close Combat (or any other Choiced Fighting type move) and set up. I have swept a lot of teams with Chandelure. Like Dragonite, it is EVd to outspeed Base 70s. This is my newest team member, so I have a lot of other options for it. Among them are Scarf and Specs.

Haxorus @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Dual Chop
-Brick Break

Haxorus is my revenge killer, albeit an unusual one. Mold Breaker negates Levitate, Wonder Guard, but most importantly Multiscale, allowing me to revenge even a +1 Speed Dragonite. The Outrage-Brick Break combo is unresisted on Haxorus, and Earthquake adds coverage. Dual Chop breaks Subs and Sashes. (Item and ability are highlighted because they are unusual, and because I will not change them.)

Latios @ Choice Specs
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Draco Meteor
-Dragon Pulse
-Surf
-Trick

This is TrickSpecs Latios. Basically I wait until I see the opponent's team before Tricking. Latios is so powerful it can take down most Pokemon that do not resist it or invest in bulk in one hit with Draco Meteor. It can also 2HKO most Jellicent with Draco Meteor. Dragon Pulse is for cleaning. (Someone tell me if Soul Dew is allowed in DW OU.)

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 40 SpA / 216 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Surf
-Rapid Spin
-Recover
-Psychic

This is my spinner. Surf>Hydro Pump because of the accuracy. Recover gives me longevity. Psychic hits Gengar hard. Speaking of Gengar, Starmie's EVs allow it to outspeed Gengar.

Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Nature: Adamant
-Transform

This is the main reason I play Dream World OU. Ditto is easily the best revenge killer in the metagame. A Gyarados with 4 DDs? No problem. How about a Volcarona with 3 Quiver Dances? Easy. +6 Attack +6 Speed Scrafty about to sweep my team? Switch in Ditto. I EVd it like this to maximize HP and to let me win Ditto-Ditto Struggle wars. (I haven't had it happen yet, but where else would you put the EVs?)
