SS OU RTM Bisharp Sweeper ⚔️

Hi everyone.
I'm here today to introduce you to a brand new team, and even though I'm not very good at building I really tried to do my best to create something that would hold up.

********

:Bisharp: :Rotom-Heat: :Clefable: :Tornadus-Therian: :Keldeo: :Dragapult:

This team is based on Bisharp in Sweeper.

:Bisharp:

Here we have the classic Sword Dancer set. I won't spend too much time on it, it's mostly used as a base.

:Rotom-Heat:

The first important partner for Bisharp, Rotom perfectly complements his two weaknesses Fire and Ground, while allowing to pivot efficiently and eliminate steel types that bother Bisharp, like Corviknight and Buzzwole for example.

:Clefable:

Second indispensable partner, Clef can easily come on Combat attacks and put down rocks to make Sweeper's job easier. He is also interesting to heal his partners. Although he is usually played with Wish, I chose here to play him with Healing-Wish because having only one Sweeper, it is unthinkable for me to lose him because of a burn.

:Tornadus-Therian:

Second pivot of the team, he is mainly used to defog and bring Bish to the court. He's also very good to come and take the combat attacks and eliminate some threat, like Urshifu, Buzzwole or Rillaboom.

:Keldeo:

I found that the team lacked a lot of speed-control, so I added Keldeo scarf to correct this problem. Thanks to its good speed, it can easily pivot while threatening Pokemon like Landorus or Minotaupe. It is also used to weak Ferrothorn and can counter Garchomp with Icy-Wind.

:Dragapult:

The last member of the team, Dragapult is there to bring more offensive response, its Wallbreaker role is essential to allow Bisharp to pass some defensive Pokemon, while being a good lead in several situations.

********

That's it for this team, I tried to find a balance between performance and Pokemon I like, always with the goal of having a reliable team that I would enjoy playing.

Not being a build pro, I simply based my evs breakdown on Smogon's.

This is really minor, but Adamant is almost always better than Jolly on Bisharp, since the extra speed doesn't do much but the extra power certainly does.

My mistake. It should have been basic Adamant. Thank you for pointing it out to me
 
After going up to 1500 with this team, I decided to optimize it.

Major change :

:Rotom-heat: < :Volcarona:

Although Volcarona has less synergy with Scalproie, his offensive presence allows him to put tremendous pressure on the opposing team, either to sweep or to weaken the opponent.

:Clefable: < :Hippowdon:

I realized that without ground type and possessing a double electric weakness, I would get swept very easily by Zeraora and Regieleki. So I decided to replace Clefable with another rock poser. Moreover Hippowdon can come on the rock attacks that threaten Tornadus and Volcarona.
