ORAS OU Mega Charizard-Y OU ORAS Team

[Valciar]

Hello All,

I'm currently a newbie in the Pokemon OU world and wanted some help in optimizing a team that I am building for my sister for a tournament coming up. The two Pokemon she really wanted to use were Char-Y and Kyurem-B, so here is what I came up with. I realize it may not be entirely possible to have a solid team with both of these two on one team but wanted to see what I could get. Go easy as this is my second RMT XD

Mega Charizard-Y

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
- Ancient Power

One of the stars of the team, he is running a pretty standard setup as a special sweeper. I decided that I did not want to run Roost. I wanted to give HP Rock a try to see if I could catch any switch ins from the genies.

Kyurem-B

Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Fusion Bolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Second star of the team. He is running a set I came up with based on the other Pokemon on my team. I decided to do a special sweeper build again over mixed because I wanted to try out HP Fire out to catch Scizor or Ferrothorn.

Latias

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish

Standard Latias Support build. I chose her because of the ability to clear Stealth Rocks and bring Charizard back for another chance at sweeping when injured. I felt she was the best choice as Charizard-Y I feel can definitely appreciate having both of those from one Pokemon.

Scizor

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 16 Def / 200 SpD
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- U-Turn

This is my bulky wallbreaker Scizor. He is meant to check those pesky fairies for my team as I have 2 pokemon vulnerable to it. I chose him because I believed he was a good pivot mainly for Kyurem-B. He brought a lot of things I needed, U-Turn, Wallbreaking, Tankiness, and priority. Its unfortunate he's weak to fire but I think he still does mesh well.

Rotom-W

Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Rest​

This is a standard Chesto-Rest Rotom-W. I felt he was a necessity because he is a great partner for Charizard Y. He can shut down physical attackers and provides the other piece for Volt Turn.


Clefable

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpD
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Moonblast
- Thunder Wave
- Soft-Boiled

This is a support Clefable. I chose this set because I needed a solid Sp. Def Tank and it provides some good partnershiip to Kyurem-B as well. It provides T-Wave support as well which has definitely helped in shutting down some Pokemon. It also provides the Stealth Rocks as well.

So thats's the team! I'll go into a little bit more detail on some points I wanted to discuss:
​

• I don't know if I should run U-Turn over Knock Off on Scizor. Its unfortunate that I don't have any dark moves.
• My perception on using the Hidden Powers could be bad. If it is definitely just recommend any changes you guys think. Just something I wanted to try out. Figured Kyurem-B could try to catch Ferrothorn or Scizor with it.
  
• To be honest I don't know the threats against this team. I feel like I'm not too qualified to really know that but if anyone can think of anything that would be great.

That is pretty much it, thank you to anyone who reviews this! :D

Hey man! Pretty cool team you have there. On paper it's a good team, but some of the sets are pretty obscure. I have a couple of suggestions you are free to you that I think will make the team better. First of all, I just want to say that Unaware Clefable+Softboiled are incompatible. Softboiled is a gen 3 tutor move for Clefable while Unaware is a gen 5 Dream world ability. This is why you should change Clefable's ability from Unaware to Magic Guard. Next, I noticed that bulky SD Scizor's going to be a pain. You do have Zard Y as a check, but with no recovery, it can't wall Mega Scizor indefinitely. This is why I'm suggesting Roost>Ancient Power on Charizard Y. You shouldn't be afraid of Talonflame just because you have 2 checks, and one of them is a counter. Roost allows Zard Y to completely shutdown Scizor, doing minimal damage with Bullet Punch, retaliating back with a Fire Blast. Finally, my last suggestion would be Sub CM Keldeo>Kyurem Black. Sub Calm Mind Keldeo is an excellent sweeper that can set up on many things and utilizes Latias's Healing Wish support because it's usually a win condition that might get crippled when in battle. Also, SD Bisharp completely sweeps your team because everything gets ohkoed by a Sucker, Knock Off, or Iron Head at +2 after rocks, so I thought Sub CM Keldeo would be a great answer to Sharp as well. GL with the team and hope I helped! :]
