Breloom -> Spore SubPunch
Empoleon -> Serious Killing Water Machine (0 survivers)
Scizor -> Generally Physical Sweeper
Heatran -> Fire Shield and Revenge Killer
Swamper -> Stealth Rock + Roar = Win

Ninjask-Lead

ninjask.png

@Leftovers
252 Speed, 252 HP, 6 Defence
Jolly
- Substitute
- Protect
- Toxic
- Baton Pass

Actually, im not sure if its the right name. This Ninjask obviously wasn't ment to sweep or kill any pokemon, the Moves are being used at the order i posted them. Substitute + Protect & Leftovers to stall, and in case i get a free turn (While behind a Sub and the last move used was Protect) then Toxic is handy. Aventually, Baton pass the speed i gathered to a team mate. usually Scizor, Breloom, or Empoleon.
And yes, if this Ninjask is my last pokemon, then i'm doomed, I am aware of that. Ninjask hates Stealth Rock, thats why it is leading (=

Breloom-SubPunch Standard Set

@Toxic Orb
252 Attack, 244 Speed, 12 HP
Adamant
- Spore
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb

This Breloom is just obvious. In case Ninjask successfuly passed some speed to Breloom (or even a Sub) I can Spore any pokemon regardless of how fast it is. After 2 turns, Ninjask's Baton Pass makes Breloom's Speed 474. It outspeed anything that isn't scarfed.
Without the Baton Pass, this Breloom is like any other Breloom, Just a regular killer machine :naughty:

Empoleon The Killer

@Petaya Berry
252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 Defence
Modest
- Substitute
- Surf
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam

The name of this Empoleon's set is true. I have elliminated with this very Empoleon a lot of teams.
This set looks like the familier SubPetaya set. Only that instead of Agility this Empoleon has both Grass Knot and Ice Beam. Except Electric, Empoleon resists Ninjask's weaknesses. Nobody attacks a Ninjask with a fighting move, or Ground move, and that's why it is so easy to pass the speed into Empoleon. After gaining the speed, all Empoleon left to do is just Substitute until the opponent stop attacking, or the Petaya berry is activated, along with Empoleon awsome Torrent ability. Then, Empoleon just attack with full power. The nice part is, that a bullet punch from Scizor does just a little damage, even after a swords dance (about 3%~7%).
Surf against whatever neutral, or weak to water. Trust me when im saying, IT KILLS. I have tested it a lot of times.
Ice Beam against the likes of Salamence, Gliscor, and Honchkrow (Sucker Punch does such a small damage to empoleon, its not threating anymore).
Grass Knot does a very nice damage to Gyarados, and OHKO ANY SWAMPERT, no matter what nature is posses, or what EV's it has.

Bug Life

@Life Orb
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defence
Adamant
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Brick Break
- Swords Dance

Bullet Punch. Thats sums it all. Sometimes I find myself passing a Sub to Scizor, and The first thing I do is Swords Dance. Seriously, how can anyone resist a Swords Dance boost?
Bullet Punch is a great move for Scizor, I bet 100% of the Scizors in OU has it.
As for Bug Bite, I find it more reliable then U-Turn. Stab + Technician is awsome, it's stronger then Bullet Punch, and destroys generally anything neutral. Also the side effect is pretty cool. It's fun doing it to other Empoleons (=
try it sometime.
Edit:
I tryed Superpower before Brick Break, and i think Whatever Superpower kills, a Brick Break also kills. also, ITS GREAT against Light-Screen users, and Reflect as one. OHKO Ambipom, Porygon-Z and blissey (after Swords Dance & Stealth Rock).

Walking Lava

@Choice Scarf
252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 Attack
Rash
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Explosion

I know, This set is very familier. Lots of players use this set. This heatran is used to cover the Fire weaknesses of Breloom, Ninjask, and Scizor.
In fact, this Heatran did so many swich-ins, it doesn't need any of Ninjask's Speed. Earth Power is very good against Infernape, poison pokemons, and in case Heatran has to attack more then one pokemon, and ground is the weakness they share.
Explosion is good when Heatran swich-in with a little amount of HP.

Roaring Frog

Swampert.png

@Leftovers
252 Defence, 252 HP, 6 Attack
Relaxed
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake

Swampert doesnt really need any speed. altough it is not a bad thing to pass some speed to my loyal Swampert.
Swampert is the last Pokemon I added to my team, thats when I realized Stealth Rock is missing. Roar is like the best move Swampert can hold.
unless you hold a reliable Grass move, OHKOing Swampert is nearly impossible. With great Defence, Swampert Roaring away some threats.
Physical Ground move & Special Ice move are like the best combination ever. Swampert damaged some serious amount of HP to alot of the opponent's Pokemons. OHKOing Gliscor, Salamence, Dragonite, Flygon, and doing some serious Damage to x2 weak-to-Ice Pokemon.
Earthquake is a realiable Ground move to use against lots of Steel type Pokemon.


Well, this is my team, I used it in some battle, and I am happy to announce that it works.
With this team I checked some of the serious threats in OU.

Opinions?

Edit:
I had with it 20 battles.
17 Wins, 1 Draw (Explosion YAY =D), 2 Loses.

Conclusion: Breloom and Empoleon with the speed boost are near INVINCIBLE.
 
A few of your Pokemon don't exactly need Speed passing; Scizor in general Bullet Punches, while Swampert is designed to be bulky and take hits, not to sweep. One thing that could work is Swords Dance; Scizor and Breloom will both love you after a double Speed and Attack boost. Give your Ninjask a Focus Sash and it'll be able to get off Swords into Agility against any lead besides Abomasnow and Tyranitar. In fact, with Protect into Swords Dance into Protect into Baton Pass, you can get a +3 to speed while scouting for Taunt/Fake Out/Trick the first turn. For the last move, I recommend X-Scissor, as Ninjask has a decent Attack stat and can scare away opposing Azelf.
 
yes, i agree.
Ninjask is not always available, thats why most of my pokemons doesnt rely only on the speed boost (like Heatran or Scizor).
I still like better the current set I gave Ninjask because it can pass +4 speed easly (not to mention +6), and if all pokemons available and i have to speed pass, i'd rather give it to Empoleon, because he is a BEAST.
Empoleon likes Sandstorms, and with the +3 (or more) and the petaya and the ability, and the STAB, and 252 EVs, and Modest nature, it can actualy destroy almost any pokemon in OU.
With the ability and the petaya berry activated, a Surf does like 40% damage to blissey, which for a special attacker is awsome. I just need to avoid Blisseys XD
or at least swich in something better.

Blissey is the main problem here, as Heatran and Empoleon can't realy harm it (BUT~~!~~ an Explosion from Heatran definetly OHKO any blissey). Scizor may be able to handle blissey with Brick Break (after a Swords Dance, blissey doesnt stand a chance). Breloom maybe spore it, and Sub on the swich. then Spore the next pokemon that comes out (Because of Blissey's ability, it was healed). then Punch the following pokemon if there is any.
 
I personly hate scisor because he's so predictable. Even with swords dance, witch bulky ddance gyaragos, and boom huge sweep. Agree about using standered Ninjask, and an idea for Empoleon to repace one move (don't know what) with aquaa jet, so Ninjask can pass it atk boosts, and they willn't be wasted
 
Yes, but I want Empoleon as a special attacker.
This ninjask set is great, i pass easy +4~6 speed, and empoleon is able to sweep entire teams with the speed boost and 3 damaging moves.
