OU Zeraora team

[PatoFio]

Hey guys wanted to show you a team that i made, hope you can try it or help me change it.


Zeraora @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Plasma Fists
- Knock Off
- Close Combat
- Fire Punch

Good zeraora set, could use bulk up for fire punch but i like it this way
He can damage heavely most of the mons he got in front
And basic evs spread i think its the best

Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Body Press
- Spikes
- Roost
- Iron Defense

Skarmory, its a really good backup for zeraora
Hes a flying type so wont get hit by any zeraora weakness
iron defense and body press to damage some mons as well

Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Dragon Pulse

didnt like him at first, but i realized that hydreigon its acually really good in ou.
dont know if i should use nasty plot, but once again i prefer it this way
flash cannon can come back very usefull against fairy type like lele

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Flip Turn
- Earthquake
- Toxic

Swampert i use him basically to cover skarmory in case of a charizard or volcarona hes the go to guy
can suffer a grass knot greninja tho so i was thinking about rotom as well
flip turn to switch out in case of some major danger

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Fly

Landorus its just so good in ou
with this set i can stab or take big hits on everyone, used fly to cover rillaboom
U-turn allows it to pivot in and out fast, thought of using stealth rock as well but i dont think imma change it

Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt

Dragapult like hydreigon a good special sweeper and i really like it
dragapult is also a save switch in allowing it to nuke the opponent for free with Draco meteor,
Dragapult also threatens Corviknight which can be problematic


Lemme know if you would change something or the moveset!

Hello You have a good idea but there is some changes I would like to improve the team.

major changes ​

>>>

Slowking @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Scald
- Future Sight
- Slack Off
- Teleport

A much better fit for your team as you are able to check the dangerous

and get zera in safely do it can pivot out. This mon unlike Swampert also offer future sight support.

Next

>>

you are right about hydra bring difficult to use in ou and your team is very weak to ice and

in general. I opted for Scizor so you don’t have to deal with that issue of icy mind games . This mon also takes pressure off slowking to check lele.

Scizor @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Roost
- Knock Off

This set also allows you to knock many Pokémon’s boots on the switch which in turn will cripple them with stealth rock up.

minor changes ​

First minor change

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
- U-turn

Stealth rock was much needed of course lando is the best rocker for a reason having two very useful immunities and a good ability in intimidate. Choice scarf wasn’t really needed as you have great speed control in dragapult. You didn’t have much use for fly so ultimately decided to for go it.

lastly,

Zeraora @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Plasma Fists
- Volt Switch
- Knock Off
- Close Combat

Close combat is much better as it allows you to hit

And

in one slot. Knock good for knocking mons lefties and boots wearing them down over time. Volt switch is just for wearing down the opponent after a pivot from slowking.
These are all my changes I hope you like them here is the new team.
