...Where all you need to be good at OU is Volcanion and Friends, one man sets out to find a way to break the vicious cycle. Could this team be the key to finally ending the reign of evil gen 6 event legendaries?
LOL NOPE.
AT A GLANCE
THE ACTUAL TEAM
( ´‿ゝ`) (Latias) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 72 SpA / 32 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 1 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 30 Spe - Defog - Roost - Toxic - Hidden Power [Fighting]
The leader of this whole shitty band of men is none other than ( ´‿ゝ`) himself. Now I know you may be wondering. How on earth do I pronounce ( ´‿ゝ`)? Well you don't, and that's the beauty of being men.
This set was fine-tuned to be the shittiest latias set of all time. Dealing with common threats such as: Jack shit.
It Toxics Garchomps and Landos and some bulky mons that try to switch in on it and punishes Bisharps that actually made the mistake of looking at it funny and saying the We Are Men meme is shit. It isn't. Plz respek that :[
You have to remember that with HP Fighting, As great of a move it might be, It lowers lots of your IV's. To counteract this, Latias is given 32 Speed EV's to outspeed max speed Base 70 speed mons (Lati has 263 as opposed to 262), 72 SpA which is enough to OHKO Bisharp with HP Fighting (Assuming your opponent isn't garbage that runs AV and HP) and the rest is put into bulk. Have some calcs.
We (Keldeo) @ Life Orb Ability: Justified EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Secret Sword - Hydro Pump - Scald - Icy Wind
The Greatest Cavalier of All, We leads the pack like no other, and helps start the legendary battle cry that invokes fear into the hearts of many. Just to let you guys know, I don't like running specs keldeo either. Because one way or another, you're going to find a team with a switch-in to all your moves and you're going to be stuck on your shitty one. That's why I enjoy LO more, but you could honestly give it lefties if you don't care about damage... Which is dumb btw...
This man is the resident Heatran killer and second in command when it comes to killing Bisharps. He also deals with TTars fairly well and packs a nice punch. I would post calcs, but most people already know what Keldeo does at this point.
Are (Magnezone) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Flash Cannon - Hidden Power [Fire]
Are is just that guy. You know the one. He's the guy that barges into the steel type pokemon party like, "Hey, what's up guys" and every instantly gets attracted to him. Yep. But of course, what better a manly trait to be had then be astonishing and dazzling.
Standard mag set. Comes in on steel types and fairies, hit's them hard (Usually killing them) and then leaves. He usually doesn't come back unless needed to clean up in the end game.
Men (Tyranitar) @ Choice Band Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spe Adamant Nature - Crunch - Pursuit - Superpower - Stone Edge
Men is the man who completes the trapping duo of mag and tag. He comes in on latis and other mons like, "Suh dude." and proceeds to fucking crack open a can of whoop ass unseen ever before. I swear to god TTar has to be one of my favorite OU mons due to it's raw fucking power, this thing will pull no punches if you slip up and get hit by it.
It's just like any other standard band TTar. Bring it in on latis, kill them, and then revenge kill something else later if it can.
! (Serperior) @ Leftovers Ability: Contrary EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe - Leaf Storm - Glare - Dragon Pulse - Hidden Power [Fire]
Now, I get what you're thinking yet again. Pyrr, I can't fucking pronounce ! stop this bullshit naming scheme. To that I say !!!!! !!! !!!. Now then, ! provides a huge role to the team. He acts as another water and ground resist, is super fast and hits like a truck... except he lacks LO. Reason being is that I like letting my Serps live longer so I can clean up with them later if they're needed. However LO forces you to run Giga Drain, Wish or a Healing Wish mon in that case and that's just not my thing. That and paralysis is easily one of the best statuses in this whole game. Aside from that, it's an extremely standard set.
Now I get what you're thinking. ! is the shocking end to the war cry that is, "WE ARE MEN!" But what could possibly come after that?
I'm glad you asked that in your head and if you didn't, you aren't fun.
( ´‿ゝ`). (Pinsir-Mega) @ Pinsirite Ability: Hyper Cutter EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Return - Close Combat - Feint
You can't end or begin a, "WE ARE MEN!" War cry without this godlike emotion expressed right here. This face is worth a thousand words: Manly... Beefy... Bulky... Exquisite... Dashing... Aesthetic.
That said, this Pinsir set is a little weird compared to others. For one, most other sets don't usually run this spread of EV's and with good reason. Pinsir's that aren't Jolly with 252 speed EV's usually get outsped by base 100 speed mons. This set tries to deal with that in a better way than just running Jolly and 252 EV's.
Adamant 252 Pinsir is one of the strongest pokemon in the game hands down. The thing hits like a fucking truck and can eat some hits as well with his 100 HP. 156 Speed also allows it to outspeed any and all base 80 speed mons once mega'd with ease. Aside from the EV's, it's a standard Pinsir set. Calcs
Threats?
Like any other team, there are threats. Because I'm too lazy to go into a whole lot of detail and actually search for what completely owns this team, I'll post what frustrates me the most:
IMPORTABLE!
The Importable for the manliest team ever can be found here:
And remember everyone, at the end of the day: ( ´‿ゝ`)WE ARE MEN( ´‿ゝ`)... That and Volcanion fucking sucks.
