OU Team looking for a good Sp Attacker

MPro01123

I am always looking for feedback on my team, if you have any questions or comments feel free to post, and I really am look for a good special attacker or special defense wall that will help balance this team.

Rex (Aerodactyl) @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Unnerve
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Ice Fang
- Thunder Fang
- Earthquake
- Sky Drop

This guy is designed to be fast and furious. he can outspeed practically anything that doesn't have priority and has a spread move pool to land super effective attacks against a large majority of pokemon out there. With his Tough Claws in his mega evolution his fangs are bumped up to the power of earthquake essentially.

Florges (F) @ Red Card
Ability: Symbiosis
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Energy Ball
- Wish
- Moonblast

My healer. He can swap in and kick out a pokemon that is boosting it's stats or just isn't a good match up. With HP and Def EV's maxed, he can take hits and heal the team. He can combat rotom wash with energy ball and with his immunity to dragon types, he can swap in for a free attack.

Liepard @ Eject Button
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 12 Spd / 248 Def / 248 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Toxic/Fake Out
- Sucker Punch
- U-turn

He is always the first to go out. With fake out, I can gauge whether the opponent has leftovers. thunder wave is always for the paralysis, and if he is against a full-on attacker, sucker punch will always hit. Although he is squishy, he has eject button to swap out to Golurk or Aerodactyl and to let them take over the work, and U-turn if he hasn't been hit and he needs to get out of there.

Sweeper (Golurk) @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Shadow Punch

With his immunity to electric types, he is a good swap in from aerodactyl when against an electric type. He will always land a hit, whether dynamic punch or stone edge.With his Atk EV's he is a strong hitter, and with HP EV's and Assault Vest, he will always survive a hit from swap in. When going against CS imposter ditto, he can counter by swapping to blissey since the most viable option is always shadow punch.

Blissey (F) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Soft-Boiled
- Flamethrower
- Counter
- Protect

with protect I can gauge whether my opponent will use a physical attack or a special when attacking. Chople Berry allows blissey to survive the only super effective type against it and counter it. When dealt 30% or more against defense a counter will wipe out any opponent, even mega-aggron. Flamethrower is only on it because I need a counter to ferrethorn and forretress.

Alakazam @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Synchronize
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Bold Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Focus Blast
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Barrier

Alakazam is my filler. He is not going to be a permanent resident on my team, I have been experimenting with other pokemon such as aegislash and hydreigon but they just don't fit. I don't have too much special attack coverage, so going against a defensive team is tough, and usually does not yield a good outcome. if it can get a resistance to water and ice types that would be great, since those two types are strong against this team.
 
Hello.

Pretty intresting team team you have here but I see you lack an effective counter to Ferrothorn and Forretress after Blissey goes down.To help remedy that I recommend you replace Golurk with Assault Vest Goodra because it's way bulkier than Golurk and provides better team synergy and with Assault Vest it's the premier Special Tank.And it deals with Ferrothorn as Goodra tends to carry Flamethrower.And is a much better Assault Vest User.
.
In my opinion and my experience Liepard just isn't good at all so I recommend you replace Liepard with Klefki as Klefki performs Liepard's role but WAY better and has better typing and it doesn't die in one hit like Liepard does.Plus it's got Fairy Type so you can deal with Dragons and with Fighting types quite easily while Liepard struggles with them.iit has better type and bulk.

If you took my suggestion of changing Golurk to Assault Vest Goodra I recommend you keep Alakazam but change its set to a Focus Sash set(set provided below)because Alakazam will not liive a a hit whatsoever.With the Focus Sash it gives it survivability.Think you should keep it,it's a pretty awesome special sweeper specially with Focus Sash because it will ALWAYS live a hit and retaliate back.And change its ability to Magic Guard so it doesn't take damage from hazards,Leech Seed,Burn,Poison,Sandstorm,etc.And also go for Psyshock over Psychic so you can hit the pink blobs,Florges and Goodra for solid amounts of damage.

For Blissey give it Leftovers over Chople Berry since Blissey will MOST likely live a hit or two becuase of it's amazing HP and it really needs the HP recovery because it's quite deterministic whether it will next hit or not.Also I would run 252 Def/252 SDef/4 HP Ev Spread that way you act more as a mixed wall.

As for Aerodactyl I suggest you run Rock Slide/Stone Edge over Sky Drop since Rock Slide/Stone Edge are better STAB moves,have more power,they don't require two turns and they aren't very situational is a lot better.Whether you want to run Rock Slide or Stone Edge is up to personal preference whether you want to hit more or you want to hit for larger amounts of damage.

One more thing run 0 IV's in attack on Florges so it doesn't take much damage from Confusion and Foul Play.

Sets:

Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability:Prankster
EV's: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Impish Nature
-Substitute
-Swagger
-Foul Play
-Thunder Wave

Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability:Sap Sipper/Gooey
EV's 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 4 HP
IV's: 0 Atk
Modest/Calm Nature
-Flamethrower
-Thunderbolt
-Sludge Bomb
-Draco Meteor

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability:Magic Guard
EV's 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Calm Nature
-Psyshock
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power Fire/Dazzling Gleam

So those are my suggestions hope you found them at least thought-provoking and hope I helped you!

It was an honor rating your team!

I will try out your suggestions, I agree about the IV's on Florges, and I'll bump down blissey too. I have actually changed alakazam to a life orb set with magic guard and have found him to be pretty good so far. I think I can agree that goodra will give me more synergy, but I like liepard for being the fastest prankster out there, and I am still playing around with his moveset, like currently I am trying a thunder wave swagger substitute foul play set. Thank you for the suggestions, and I definitely will put your input to good use :)
