ORAS OU Physical Walls: Skarmory vs Ferro

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi all today i want to improve my team (mSaur, Rotom-w, Chansey, Bisharp, Heatran) with a really impregnable physical wall.
Mainly pokemons that i need to wall:
1. mLopunny
2. mGross
3. mGallade
4. mMedicham
5. Etc [..]

So my first decision was Skarmory like this:

Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Roost
- Defog

It works really good, but i'm thinking about Ferrothorn like:

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Gyro Ball
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Protect

Both are weak to fire but i can bait them into fire absorb with Heatran or Chansey/Rotom-w (respectively special or physical attackers). Both are trapped by Magnet Zone (Skarmory cons: he can just set 1 row of spikes thanks to Strudy, Ferro pro: he can set spikes and/or take an some Zone HP with seed/protect). Both have tons of Def and can really wall a lot of physical abuser (rotom-w for talonflame). Both (obvsly xD) can set spikes.

Ok then my summary:
Skarmory pros: Defog, instant heal
Ferro pros: Iron Barbs !!! I want to really punish enemies even after knock off.

What do u suggest ? :)
Ty in advance.
 
Hey,you should take a look at the RMT Rules before posting.

About your team,I'd say go with a SpD Skarmory Set as Ferro only makes you weaker to Landorus-I who is really threatening to your team.

Spread is: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Def with the moves you mentioned.

This makes you really weak to SD Bisharp though so I'd recommend running Keldeo instead of Rotom-W.Rotom's job is to check Landorus-T,Talonflame and MegaMetagross right?Skarmory checks Landorus-T and Mega Metagross and Talonflame is checked by Heatran.

You could run SubCM Keldeo or Specs but I'd go with SubCM as it is amazing right now.

Keldeo @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Scald
-Secret Sword

Lastly,I don't know what your spread for Heatran is but I'd suggest 248 HP / 192 SpD / 68 Spe

Hope I helped.Your thread may be locked soon
 
Hey ZigZago!
As Analytic said, read the rules before posting a thread.

Hi friend, I apologize for the error. My post is not really a RMT but only a comparison between two pokemon (i just type my entire team to better explain). Initially, I had not posted here but the mod of the other section redirect me here >.<.
 
Hi, you have a few options here. First you can make a full RMT and get help on your entire team here. Read these rules:

Second, you can ask in the simple questions simple answers thread if you just care about which is better for your team:

Lastly, you can bring up a general discussion about Ferrothorn vs Skarmory in the metagame thread, if you are interested about going into more detail about them.

Hey, unfortunately your thread is not following the RMT rules. Your problem is with your descriptions. I'm going to have to lock this thread but feel free to pm me with your changes so I can unlock.
