So I'm trying to create a team in Sun and Moon for OU, and the battle tree. I am aminly looking for more suggestions for my team, and improvements for the current pokemon. The only Pokemon I'm really set on keeping in the team is Suicune.
Suicune
Leftovers
Modest
Pressure
252 HP/252 SPATK/4 SPDEF
Ice Beam
Scald
Calm Mind
Substitute
Suicune is basically the stalling point of my team. I chose this set because Scald has a burn chance and is a reliable STAB move, and kept Ice Beam to deal with Grass Types. It''s a pretty standard Suicune set, and I musch prefer this set to the Rest Suicune set.
Garchomp
Life Orb
Adamant
Sand Veil*
252 ATK/ 4 DEF/ 252 SPEED
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Stealth Rock
Fire Blast
Garchomp is my main physical attacker, used primarily to stop the pesky Togedemaru and other electric pokemon, while having the capacity to set up spikes.
Talonflame
Flyium Z
Adamant
Gale Wings
252 HP/ 252 ATK/ 4 SPEED
Brave Bird
Roost
Flare Blitz
U-Turn
While Talonflame isn't particularly special, it's niche 190 BP Z-Move that is boosted by priority can be quite useful. Although Gale Wings has been nerfed, Talonflame still has 2 turns of priority which normally allows it to take down other pokemon. Maximum HP investments is just in case Talonflame gets the chance for another round at Brave Bird.
Pokemon That I can't use in OU:
Metagross (Mega)
Metagrossite
Adamant
Tough Claws
252 HP/252 ATK/ 4 DEF
Power-up Punch
Bullet Punch
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt
Metagross is my mega for now until I have access to the galladite, but offers reliable power and coverage none the less. I normally try to obtain a chance for Metagross to get a few Power-up Punches, and then use priority Bullet Punch most of the time. I would be willing to consider a better Mega.
As a side note, I am happy to switch out Mega Metagross for Aegislash in Sun and Moon, but Aegislash is banned from OU. Aegislash would be a normal Aegislash set, as it doen't take much to use the pokemon. I just wanted to know your thoughts on Aegislash in Sun and Moon.
I'm mainly lookinf for the weaknesses in my team, and suggestions for pokemon that could help improve the team, both for the OU metagame, and the SM metagame. Thanks for the help!
