Gen 7 Gen 7 OU M Mawile team

[Nowno]

Hello everyone ; I've been playing pokemon showdown for 2 month now, and I post today my first team here. I think it is pretty solid, I got a good ratio. I wanted to make a team based on M Mawile. Nicknames are french jokes lol

Big (Mawile) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Fire Fang
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off

The star of the team, it's just there beacause I wanted him to be here. Nothing much to say here. It hit hard, it removes object... It has a nice coverage, it's helped with Tapu Bulu for the heal, and Tapu Koko and Landorus switch into it. It kinda pressure nicely with sucker punch, and is nice against stall. Be cautious not to be pp stall. I modified the set from smogon to match my preference

Flo (Tapu Koko) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Tapu Koko is a great partner to M Mawile; It hit hard on special whereas M Mawile hit on physics, it can counter ground type, which are a problem to M mawile, his ability remove psychic surge, because sucker punch don't work with it. It can also remove Tapu Bulu's surge, which help M Mawile, but also help the opponent, but sometime it helps more the opponent than me, so... I also took the set from smogon

et Oli (Landorus-Therian) @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Fly
- U-turn

Landorus is here because it's Landorus; More seriously, I used it because it's also a great defensive partner for M Mawile; Not like M Mawile, Landorus can take hits, and it don't have the 2 Weaknesses of M Mawile. You can switch to M Mawile and Rotom-W ( bc of hazards ) with U-Turn, which is great because you will often moves second and tank. I used the Flyinium Z set from smogon bc I don't have a Z moves, and I already had Hp ice.

Black Bull (Tapu Bulu) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Grassy Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Horn Leech
- Wood Hammer
- Superpower
- Stone Edge

Tapu Bulu scarf is here because of the lack of speed and priority in the team, even with sucker punch and Tapu Koko. I originally played it with choice band, but with the problem of speed... It's grassy surge also help a lot M Mawile because of it's poor bulk, and as Tapu Koko, it can interrupt psychic terrain, can interrupt electric terrain at the right time...

Mr.propre (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Defog

Rotom-W is the second physical defensive pokemon of the team. With his ability and water-type, it resist the only weaknesses of M Mawile, and it can volt switch into it or other needed pokemon generally after the opponent. It's the defogger of the team, since we don't really want to have rock on our side, and we just have stealth rock to put on. It can also Will-O-Wisp, which is always useful, since the team isn't very defensive

Introvert (Toxapex) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 68 HP / 252 Def / 188 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baneful Bunker
- Scald
- Recover
- Haze

Toxapex is the classic wall that makes you wanna die - The EVs are a bit weird because I wanted to have my Toxapex to have the same SpD and Def, haze is for set-up. Before I made Toxa use haze, I had a problem with set - up, but now it's better, but I have still some problem if I try to use it against Azumarill or Charizard X. The other moves are nothing incredible, Baneful bunker just because I don't have anything to toxic, and there is no haxx bc of protect

I know my team has some problem, but I think I made a great job

Hey dude, cool team !
I think you are a good player and I hope that through my advice, you will be able to improve your team.

I immediately point out that Kartana is a formidable threat (especially according to Band play).
And we also consider Magearna if in the guise of AV. Or Celesteela since you should always switch Koko or Rotom (I would say that Steel in general can be quite annoyer for you).
I also consider that you don't have a real safe switch on Lele.

Moving on to consider some changes I would say that Landorus needs the Scarf to ensure better Speed Control vs M-Alakazam, Koko and sweep in end game.
I also think that Bulu acquires better utility when playing Spd Def to win 1vs1 with Cminder as Clefable n Reuniclus, also is a good switch to BB Ninja.
To better define these improvements I think SD > Fire Fang on M-Mawile helps better against bulky or stall teams.
Rotom is better with the Wiki Berry if is used as a Defogger.

To cope with the weaknesses listed as Kartana I think Tornadus-T is a better option than Koko. He always acts as a pivot with the foresight to be able to take damage also on Mega Venusaur or Tangrowth. In this regard, I would assign Heat Weave instead of the usual Defogger set as it ensures greater precision vs Kartana or addiruttura the opposing M-Mawiles if you are in position.
Lastly I think Toxapex doesn't act as a good synergy within the team. Heatran is right for you. The set with Steelium Z with the Modest nature helps against the usual switch of the same, and I list some of them like Garchomp, Gliscor. Mega-Latios/as, Hydreigon and Tapu Fini.

The Team

Final thoughts: The team is very well balanced and easy to use the M-Mawile, ScarfLando and Heatran core is very complete and thanks to the defensive support that Rotom and Bulu provide, you shouldn't have any problems even with Rain Team.

Gl n have a good day :)

Thank for responding and taking time for my team! (Also, I don't really think I'm a good player, I started three months ago lol)
I never noticed that kartana band was a threat, since I have a scarf tapu bulu, I almost ohko with superpower ( With the calculator ). and I can finish with sucker punch anyway. For sp def Bulu, never 1v1 a clefable or reuniclus with him so idk, Mawile had firefang bc I wanted to test this set. Anyway thank, i've been testing it today but I can't really say anything for now
