ORAS NU Hyper offence Ft. Raichu

[Juridisch advies]

Hey there,

My name is Jurdisch advies, and I really like to mess around in NU most of the time. Although I'm really new to competitive playing I really like the scene and especially NU. I'm trying to learn playstyles since that would benefit my teambuilding as well. This time I tried to forge a HO team with decent success, I need your suggestions (hopefully) to make it even better. I peaked at 1550 which is really high for me, but I couldn't go any higher than that.
Since I really like Raichu for its good coverage/speed, I thought why not build around it.

I don't own any of the sprites/gifs used for making this RMT. All its rights go to their respective owners and creators.

I hope you enjoy reading and rating my team.
Suggestions are valued ofc.

team building process

Of course, raichu is in here.

Since I wanted to sweep with raichu, stealth rock support would be essential. I picked archeops, because of taunt+Sr combo.

Since this is a HO team, I really liked Sweet Jesus's sawk spread, to use it as an offensive lead is awesome. and catches a lot of people offguard.

I needed to have a pokemon with revenge killer capabilities ,which could hit hard as well. So I matched my team with Kan.

I needed something,other than raichu, to deal with bulky water, other ground types, so I added standard QD lilligant set which 6-0 people sometimes.

Since a set-up pokemon worked really well for me I decided to add Mismagius sub set to deal with a lot of nu threats.

After a Nasty plot Raichu becomes a powerful 'mon capable of putting a dent in any team. Its base 110 speed lets it outspeed a lot of pokemon in the tier and makes it a good sweeper. I put a focus sash on their to get a nasty plot of safely and then proceed to sweep. Encore is there to stop set-up and let raichu safely set up against the opponent. Grass knot is for coverage and thunderbolt for a strong stab attack. I figured timid is the best , because you need speed over power since nasty plot solves that problem.

Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Archeops is a pretty standard lead ,taunter and SR setter. I needed the support for the rest of my team to sweep properly. Sitrus berry is there to get the acrobatics boost after a hit and will keep me above defeatist level. The speed is needed to outspeed SR setters and proceed from there.

Ability: Defeatist

An Archeops lead is pretty predictive so I like to lead with this guy. I stole the idea of Sweet Jesus and it works pretty well. Most people suspect a choice item, If you predict right you can take down 2-3 pokemon with the set. I stumbled upon multiple mega audinos so I went for poison type move to have decent coverage against it. CC is almost always a lot of pain for the opponents side, knock off for coverage.\

I needed a revenge killer to take down fast and weakened opponents. So I decided to pick this Mongolian warlord as my designated revenge killer. This thing saved my ass multiple times when climbing the ladder , down 1-4 it pulled out the hot win. LO is for the extra power that I like to have on all of my moves. earthquake is for opposing steel types which aren't afraid of normal/dark moves. Return -> double edge, since I don't want to lose this beast in 2 turns.

This flower will burn down your house and eat your children alive.
Lilligant gets access to an OP status move in sleep powder and the strongest set up move in the game apart from shell smash, BS Quiver dance.
It's energy draining stab attack breaks down bulky water types in a blink of an eye. I picked HP fire to get ride of ferroseed, which I think is the most annoying pokemon in the tier.
Once this thing is set-up it's really tough to stop it.

I really liked the idea of setting up and sweeping in this HO team. Once the biggest threats are gone I can just set up and pick up the broom. Therefore, I picked Mis.Magius to top off my team with an extra setter-upper. Nasty plot is a really good move and its decent speed enhance its sweeping capabilities really well.
Shadow ball for the much-needed STAB and dazzling gleam to hit knock off users.

I wouldn't suggest having Own Temp on Lilligant when you arent using Petal Dance shenanigans. Instead run Chlorophyll, since Exeggutor teams with sunny day are a thing, you can capitalize on that with Chlorophyll.

Hello Juridisch advies, nice team you got there but I'd like to give you many suggestions.
First of all you should change your Archeops set to a Suicide Lead one. It works perfectly for your playstyle and you can take the advantage of the holes he can create with Head Smash/Endeavor!

Then you should give Raichu Hidden Power Fire over Encore so you won't get walled by grass types, and it gives you a neutral coverage. You should give him Life Orb too so he'll hit harder than now.
Another thing I'd like to tell you is to give a Choice Scarf to Sawk instead of the Lum Berry and to change his ability to Mold Breaker because you lack of a revenge killer right now.
I think you should change your Kangaskhan's item to a Silk Scarf and giving him Double Edge over Return so it won't get worn down by the recoil quickly.
For Mismagius you could use a NP 3 Attacks set so you can hit harder things like Mantine that wall you.

Hello Juridisch advies !

Unfortunately, this RMT is currently not following the rules which can be found in the RMT Resource Thread; specifically, this thread violates rule #6, because you are only allowed to post one RMT every two weeks. As such, I am afraid that I will have to lock this thread for the time being. I recommend that you carefully read the RMT Resource Thread for more details.

Good luck with your team, and have a nice day!
