Hey, I haven't played pokemon since gen IV, so I had a lot of catching up to do and I'd really appreciate some help with my teambuilding. Here comes!
Sharpedo @Sharpedonite
Jolly
Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252Spe
- Protect
- Psychic Fangs
- Crunch
- Waterfall
I decided to try a Mega Sharpedo and build my team around it. No idea how if it works well in OU nowadays.
Serperior @Grassium-Z
Timid
Contrary
252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Giga Drain
- Taunt
Decided to use a contrary serperior as a wallbreaker for bulky water-types that counter Sharpedo. Never liked Life Orbs, so I deleted Leech Seed for the sake of Taunt and picked Grassium-Z.
Alola-Marowak @Thick Club
Adamant
Lightning Rod
252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Flare Blitz
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Bone
- Earthquake
Lightning Rod provides a nice counter to electric attacks aimed at Sharpedo, plus Shadow Bone is a nice fairy killer.
Klefki @ Leftovers
Careful
Prankster
252 HP / 4 Def / 25SpD
- Thunder Wave
- Spikes
- Magnet Rise
- Play Rough
Klefki is a spike support for Sharpedo. Went for Magnet Rise to eliminate another ground weakness.
This is where I'm stuck. Wanted to add a strict Def wall like Weezing, Haze is a nice move to wreck boost users. Gliscor was my other thought, but then again - won't my attack be a bit low overall?
Idea for Weezing:
Weezing @ Black Sludge
Bold
Levitate
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Explosion / Destiny Bond
- Haze / Clear Smog / Whatever
- Flamethrower / Thunderbolt (I'm inclined to the latter one, as Marowak covers fire type moves.)
- Sludge Bomb
