The Flight of the Condor
I’ve been bouncing around tiers a lot lately but I’ve always just been good at SS OU, so since I haven’t played it in a while I decided to build a team and this was the result (https://pokepast.es/4e83d77ce85e01cd)
———————————————————————
Tornadus
I started the team with Tornadus because after playing gen6 ou I learned how good this silly bird was.
Tornadus has pretty good speed and an amazing ability in regenerator. Tornadus with heatwave can check Rillaboom and Kartana pretty well. Heavy duty boots is mandatory because it’s otherwise walled by stealth rocks and it can Defog all my problems away, it’s ability to serve as a fast revenge killer and spamming knock off because of its longevity with u-turn + Regenerator makes it a staple in the SS OU tier and this team.
Tapu Lele
Since Tornadus provides momentum it’s paired well with wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and since I wanted a fast counter to the very common garchomp Lele seemed like the perfect choice
Moonblast is the stab move of choice countering and pesky dragon types that otherwise counter my garchomp and dragapult
Focusblast and Shadowball are coverage for types that otherwise threaten the team, and psyshock is for specially defensive Pokémon that try to counter Lele like chansey.
Kartana
Kartana is definitely one of most threatening wall breakers in the game I’ve mainly used it as a late game sweeper who can revenge kill and get a beast boost which can easily snowball into a sweep
it has coverage moves that can kill threats like Zapdos who threatens Tornadus. It can check flying types by knocking off their heavy duty boots and can even K.O Kartana after a beast boost with secret sword. It’s amazing speed and attack makes it a wonderful asset to the team.
Magnezone
Similar to how magnemite can trap Ferro seed and set up on it in LC this is basically the equivalent to that in the OU tier
It can trap steel types (mainly ferrothorn) it can substitute to prevent leech seed from ferrothorn
Set up Irodefense and body press to wall physically attacking Pokémon that wont be ably to knock out its substitute immediately and can usually knock out a few Pokémon with body press and thunderbolt to deal damage to stuff like Tornadus-t with heat wave.
Garchomp
Garchomp serves as a set up sweeper with swords dance and decent speed, and scale shot is used to outspeed slower revenge killers. Earthquake is a good stab move that can effectively one shot a lot of Pokémon and fire fang is for coverage against ice types, and steel types like Corvinkight. Garchomp is walled by Choiceband weaviles ice shard so watch out for that
Dragapult
Specs Drafapult high special attack a high speed tier and so many coverage moves with like hydro pump and flame thrower it can catch a lot of Pokémon off guard and get the K.O because of it. It also oneshots other dragapults with shadowball/Dracometeor.
Thanks for checking out my RMT let me know what I can improve the team on and have a nice day :)
