    Hi all and welcome to this RMT, if you are unprepared for the heat then you'ld better not continue to read :o

    Since I got bored of ORAS OU and all the standard teams I wanted to build a team that can work in the ladder but staying half gimmick. For this reason, I picked Nosepass because it's an annoying pokemon that can actually beat a lot of top tier mon with toxic spikes utility, which is the reason I picked Scolipede to help it. Since the team was built around hazard, I picked gengar as antispinner and Bisharp for Defog. Mega gyarados is good to break teams and also one check to Bisharp since I lack one of them. Lastly Excadrill is there to rapid spin.

    Zlatan (Nosepass) (F) @ Berry Juice

    Level: 1

    Trait: Sturdy

    EVs:

    IVs: 0 HP

    Hardy Nature

    - Stealth Rock

    - Pain Split

    - Protect

    - Magic Coat

    So Nosepass being the star of the team, I chose to name it Zlatan, well because Zlatan is godly and has a big nose as well :D. Stealth rocks allows you to cripple the opponent, Protect to avoid being hit by priority moves such as Fake out and also to scout what move scarf mons gonna lock into. Magic Coat is very fun to send back wisp to Rotom-W or Rocks to garchomp. And lastly, THE move: Pain split, since it's lvl 1 it will always recover the max HP possible and with tspikes and protect you can handle most top tier mons such as Lopunny, Keldeo, Serperior ( without leech seed), Volcarona and all the grounded mon that get poisonned by T.spikes when they enter the field.

    [​IMG]

    Scolipede (M) @ Focus Sash

    Trait: Speed Boost

    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd

    IVs: 0 Atk

    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

    - Toxic

    - Protect

    - Toxic Spikes

    - Spikes

    It's nearly the usual Scolipede set but as the exception it has Toxic instead of Endeavour or another offensive move. Reason: I love to toxic Landorus to beat them with Zlatan then and it also cripples the likes of altaria before megaevolving and many stuff. Protect is here for priority moves though you can replace it with Pin Missile I guess you choice. T.spikes and spikes to put more pressure on the opponent team

    [​IMG]

    Gyarados (F) @ Gyaradosite

    Trait: Intimidate

    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd

    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

    - Dragon Dance

    - Waterfall

    - Earthquake

    - Taunt

    Mega Gyarados is one of the pokemon that wallbreak the best in the tier. The set is very standard and I chosen EQ over Crunch or Ice Fang just so I can hit Bisharp. Taunt is here to prevent defog or another mons to set up on the side. It is also my only answer to Mega Scizor so yeah lol.

    [​IMG]

    Gengar (M) @ Life Orb

    Trait: Levitate

    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

    IVs: 29 HP / 0 Atk

    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

    - Taunt

    - Destiny Bond

    - Shadow Ball

    - Sludge Wave

    This is the only set I love playing on Gengar. Taunt/Dbond allows me to prevent set ups and Dbond helps me killing mon that tend to set up or that are locked. Dual stab is for me better, but you can play Focus Miss. Note that Dbond is another way of killing Bisharp so yeah. I play 29 ivs on HP so I hit 259 hp, which means I lose 25 hp with Life Orb instead of 26 if i was 30 or 31 ivs.

    [​IMG]

    Bisharp (M) @ Black Glasses

    Trait: Defiant

    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd

    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

    - Sucker Punch

    - Iron Head

    - Taunt

    - Knock Off

    This set is nearly the classic one except the fact i run Taunt on bisharp which seems redundant since I want it to get Defoged. However, if you switch in a skarm defog, you can use Taunt so he can't whirlwind you. Most of the time that will give you an easy win against teams that struggles with Bisharp ( which means 90% of the ladder ) . I prefer playing Black Glasses over Life Orb because I feel like late game it's important to have hps to not get ko'ed by priority moves, but that's personal. I also opt for a Jolly Nature to speed tie with Jolly Loom and eventually if at +2 deal the remaining hp so you win.

    [​IMG]

    Excadrill (F) @ Choice Scarf

    Trait: Mold Breaker

    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd

    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

    - Rapid Spin

    - Earthquake

    - Iron Head

    - Rock Slide

    Lastly, I needed a spinner so the team works. Excadrill is a pokemon I play a lot, because it's very good at cleaning and also switching on volt switch of rotoms is always fun. It's also my check to talonflame so it's better to keep it alive to clean. The set is very standard and there's not much to say about it.

    There are teams that you can't beat, and some that you should instantly click X when you face them: Mega Scizor teams are hard to take but they can be beaten if Gyarados well played. Mega Venusaur literally kill this team, except dbond gengar and taunt bisharp you can hardly beat it. If you see a zard, it's important to keep Scolipede alive so you toxic the zard and then beat it with based Lord Zlatan. Except of this, there's not much teams that can beat you. Beware of mold breaker mons such as Driller and Kyu-b as they negate your sturdy Zlatan.

    Shoutouts:
    @uphaze it originally started with him and me building shit teams with like banded Azurill and having fun in the ladder, without him I would never have tried to build this
    @Draciel One of the best people around here, he's always nice and open to suggestions. If I ever do shit he takes me back to the right way
    @JoyFrost so cute <3
    @Atli You're a nice person and I enjoy playing OU with you
    @Strudels (◡‿◡✿)
    @TraceofLife It's always cool to 6-0 the team you build but yeah, you help me testing teams and I think you're a good person and a good player. Too bad you're always ghosted :p
    @gengar17 FU
    @Zoroark *-*
    @La.Melle2402 you're a good OU player but dare to Zlatan
    @Mysterious M I never seen you playing OU, but if you do, hit me up for battles as I accept a lot of challenge to have fun
    @Xdevo for being the best player on earth
    @Aurist Nobody can stand Zlatan
    @Hannah best team ever y/n
    @All the Tournaments staff who makes me believe PO still has a hope, let it be @Jiten or @Poke Expert and i'm happy you're all giving your best for the community.

    If I forgot someone it simply means I hate you I just have a terrible memory and I hope you like that awful team that you can use to have fun. I peaked with it around 1450 points in the ladder and won some tours with it which means it's not total garbage :D

    Thanks for your kind words :^]

    I've seen this team in action firsthand and I gotta say it's pretty effective. ZLATAN can often catch teams off-guard and it happens to be your win-con most of the times. Don't really have any suggestions because your a solid OU player and know your way around the tier's threats; after all this is meant for fun anyway :D

    Hope to see more of your RMT's in future!

    HAPPY BDAY NUB!
    Mold Breaker Exca and KyuB doe...
    scarfed version of both of em are threatening.... unless you run some sort of counter play using Gyarados and blah blah.
    run addy on bish instead, whirlwind skarm dont run speed most of the time. Also MB Gyara hits Rotom with EQ too so yeah but why is it your only answer to Scizor??? Scizor can bug bite/u-turn ez lol.
    yup it is gimmicky but eh it works, it caught me off guard quite a bit even I did have KyuB so gratzu!

    uh... y'all forget my shoutouts don't you?

    Er SD scizor is an issue since it can start SD'ing up on me, best I can do is Taunt and DD eventually.
    I prefer Jolly Bisharp to speed creep uninvested Mew/Celebi/etc and cripple them easily.
    OU doesn't have much for Kyu anw so it's me sacking a mon and trying to RK with driller.
    Mostly, this ain't a serious team so if anyone wanna change something go ahead

    Liked it cuz' Zlatan. If you have a pokemon with a big nose and you call it Zlatan, your team can be nothing but good. I'm jealous.

    As I'm not that good in OU and pretty much everything has been said, I leave you with that.

    Nice to see different and unique stuff instead of the same old crap that makes battling boring in my opinion.
