CB Magnezone!? (OU)

Subject: CB Magnezone!? (OU) Thu Feb 18, 2010 12:15 pm

Hey it's me! CB stands for charge beam by the way. Anyway, I've always sucked at OU so I guess it will suck here too.

Jirachi @ choice scarf
80HP/252Atk/176Spd
Jolly nature
-Stealth rock
-Trick
-Thunder wave/Body slam
-Iron head

Standard lead. Only with thunder wave as I find it more useful and can paraflinch. It helps against metagross so if it decides to attack it is setup bait for mence. Against rachi, instantly switch to magnezone.

Suicune @ life orb
252SAtk/252Spd/4HP
Timid nature
-Calm mind
-Hydro pump
-Ice beam
-HP (Electric)

Offensive cune. Sets up on a fire move and then surprises opponents with an unusually powerful hydro pump that is awesome.

Gengar @ Choice scarf
252Spd/252SAtk/4HP
Timid nature
-Shadow ball
-Thunderbolt
-Focus blast
-Trick

Scarf gengar. This is the perfect lure for scizor. If scizor comes in, kills, then magnezone comes and charge beams it to death and gets +6SAtk. Considering HP ice.

Salamence @ Life orb
24SAtk/252Spd/232Atk
Naïve nature
-Dragon dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire blast

DD mence. Setup and sweep. Pairs well with magnezone and can get a setup right at the beginning if rachi tricks someone using EQ.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
252HP/252Def/4Spd
Bold nature
-T-Wave
-Ice beam
-HP (Fighting)
-Moonlight

I love cress. My anti sweeper. Despite hating sandstorm, she is still a great wall. I’m considering rest talk so it doesn’t suffer under sandstorm. The trick is to lure a physical sweeper in and kill them with one of the attacks.

Here comes the star of my team…

Magnezone @ Salac berry
28HP/252SAtk/216Spd
Timid nature
-Substitute
-Charge beam
-Thunderbolt
-HP (Ice)

Here is the star. So many teams have a rachi, a metagross or a scizor. Switch in on a harmless attack and you are in for a awesome sweep. If it doesn’t, it gets generally some kills.

Well here's my team. Please rate!

Hello cool team Calze!

Starting with a few nitpicks, Jirachi likea U-Turn. I now T-Wave works, tricking in those setting up sweeper and cripple em' but i still think U-Turn is better since it OHKOs most Celebis and Latias. I don't see what your HP [Fighting] is doing for you besides killing tyranitar. I think HP [Fire] would be a better choice as it checks Jirachi, Scizor and Metagross decently. The Gengar you are running want Timid nature to outspeed or atleast get a speed tie with ScarfLatias.

The set you are running on Suicune is cool but i think it should have more bulk. Maybe 176 HP/166 SpA/166 Spe could work. I can't see that much else to fix on this team, nice job!

Good luck with the team!

That's the point of HP fight for cress. I might change gengar. Suicune needs the speed and SAtk EVs to out run and OHKO certain pokes.

Subject: Re: CB Magnezone!? (OU) Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:07 am

Also, U-turn on rachi won't OHKO either. I've added changes and some threats in list.

Nice Threat List

I've finished with this team.

Subject: Re: CB Magnezone!? (OU) Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:11 am

For your last team Latias got banned, and now for this team Salamence got banned.

That's kind of lame lol, unless you're like me and you build a new team almost every game you play.

This team doesn't look bad really. Just replace Salamence with Dragonite if you're going to keep using it. I don't see what the purpose of Jirachi as a lead is. I think there could be better options, like Machamp or something (I don't really know just an example). Your offense power in this team is limited to two pokemon and one more that is decent. I just get uneasy looking at the whole CS Gengar / Cresselia / CS Jirachi thing. It's a pretty good defensive core though in an odd way.

I say the success depends mostly on whether Magnezone gets good use or not.

Cool team.

I haven't used this team for ages. I play almost entirely ubers now. I might make a team a day in ubers, though.

Subject: Re: CB Magnezone!? (OU) Sat Jul 24, 2010 10:06 am

Ah I see. I play a few OU games every here and there. I don't play much but when I do I try to have fun with it. I tried out some UU and BL pokemon in a team and it actually worked pretty decently, but I'm usually an "OU spammer" with my teams.
