SM OU I Just Wanted to Use Sharpedo? (Currently 1759)

ALRIGHT

Been a long time since i posted an RMT here. I came back to Pokemon to find out that i still hate it and i miss ALL Focus Blasts. But anyways, you're probably looking at this team like.. why is there Mega Sharpedo on a balanceish team? Honestly, i don't even know myself. So i'll try to explain this abomination to the best of my ability.

s-senpai (Sharpedo) (F) @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Fang
- Psychic Fangs
- Crunch
- Protect

Y'know how in Jaws the shark is all scary and mean and wanna eat all the boats? Yeah. I don't know. she does that. Sharpedo is mostly kept in the back as the late game cleaner cause it's all its good for. The moveset is pretty simple. Ice Fang is mainly for Dragons or Grounds, Psychic Fangs for Fightings, and Crunch for the STAB. Protect is for a guaranteed Speed Boost under regular form and to scout moves.

top lel (Tapu Lele) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Fire]

If i had a nickel for every Focus Blast i missed on this run with her.. well. anyways, Sharpedo mainly fears priority and what better way to deal with that than Mrs. Psychic Terrain herself? she's scarfed Timid to help deal with Jolly DD Zygarde just in case. Psychic > Psyshock due to more BP, Moonblast cause Fairy stab makes Dragons cry, Focus Miss Blast to hit TTar/Bisharp, and HP Fire for Scizor and Kartana.

Big Ouch (Ferrothorn) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Power Whip
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball

I hate coming back to this pokemon honestly. BUT Tapu Koko is an annoying threat so once again i've employed this things help once more. Ferro sets up my Stealth Rocks which is quite odd since he's better off spiking. Power Whip and Gyro Ball for STAB and Leech Seed for more passive damage + healing to become more useful for Sharpedo's arrival.

lil' ouch (Toxapex) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Haze
- Recover

wouldn't be a party without that one annoying guy who ruins everyone's day.

almost didn't wanna write anything else but that. i wanted to include something to help check Gren and A-Gren and this one does the job ok for me. Toxapex also helps deal with some setup sweepers with Haze. Scald is nice Water STAB that has a really nice chance to burn and Toxic Spikes to increase residual damage. usually one layer is ok unless there's like a Volc. Recover rounds it all out because recovery is so good. which this thing likes to do.

ryuZU (Magearna) @ Fairium Z
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fleur Cannon
- Shift Gear
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

OOOOO000oo0, ever heard of Clockwork Planet? i'd rate it a solid 5.5/10. Magearna is my secondary sweeper and is low key the reason why i win most of my games LOL. So i guess it's WINCON Version B? anyways, Shift Gear is used to double the speed. BoltBeam is the main combo/perfect coverage with Fairium Z to nuke whatever to hopefully get the first SpA boost. i think i wanna switch out Ice Beam for Iron Head for the EXTRA SPICE but i fear that it's just not good at all.

theraflu (Landorus-Therian) @ Earth Plate
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Smack Down
- Hidden Power [Ice]

how many times have i used honest in this RMT? because honestly i just copypasted this set because it looked like the most interesting set. jk. i needed an Electric Immunity and Ground Immunity and OH LOOK Lando is the perfect candidate. he usually is for most roles on any OU team. this set is really odd but i usually use Lando to break some bulky mons that Sharpedo can't nom. Swords Dance to increase Atk is pretty good and Earthquake is strong STAB and main attack that's used. Smack Down is to trash Celesteela/Skarm and other Flyings so Earthquake can hit alll. Lastly, HP Ice to deal with other Landos just in case.





ENDING NOTES: This team was honestly not well constructed, imo. VOLCARONA destroys this team ezpz. i should honestly change that. plus there's tons of ice moves i need to change into other coverage moves. maybe move SR onto Lando. this was also poorly written.

Hey. Cool team, Mega sharp + lele is a nice offensive core.

A few things I suggest though:
130px-0,33,0,32-Payapa_Berry.png
Black Sludge --> Payapa berry on toxapex.

Also Toxic spikes --> Toxic
This makes dealing with Volcarona easier because psychium Z wont knock you out and you can poison it quickly.


Stealth rock --> Spikes on Ferrothorn. This gives an extra option of residuals to help sharpedo or Lele win.


Hidden Power Ice --> Stealth Rock on Landorus. I understand HP ice for opposing Lando, but I think spikes + Rocks will help this team alot.

I hope this was helpful in some way :]
