You lack critical Ice resists and Bisharp will die early with LO. A Water-type with Scald, Heatran or Rotom-W could fill the last spot well.

How are you handling M-Ray and other boosting pokemon when Ditto is gone? Several of your pokemon are missing 4 Evs.

As of now I usually don't find myself using Ditto until something like M-Rey/M-Salamence or the like got a boost in anyway. Any others get shitfucked by Sticky Web to just get Darkrai'd.

If I really need to, and there aren't any swagplayers in the building, Prankster T-Wave helps

You're super weak to ice. Something that resists ice, as well as the common complementary attacks, would be very helpful. Actually, I guess your last mon can be weak to ground or fighting, considering all the resists and immunities you have to those types. However, it should be faster than Mamoswine, who fucks your team up right now.

Also, since Latias seems to be your team's focal point, maybe try a fairy to give dark types even more trouble, since those are the only things immune to stored power. Azumarill perhaps? He resists ice, too.

Also also, anyone want to offer feedback on this team I plan on using when contrary Serperior gets released?

You're better for using pokemon you actually like and making them work as opposed to copy/pasting directly from smogon.

Okay, a few things:
Sableye
>Don't use Sucker Punch, it'll do jack all
>The best Sableye set right now is CM/Dark Pulse or Shadow Ball/Will O Wisp/Recover, which is a huge cunt if your opponent doesn't have Fairy types

Chansey
>Don't use Healing Wish; you can heal the rest of your team with Wish and Aromatherapy without having to commit bukakke
>invest all in HP and Def, investing more in SpDef is moot
Serperior
>I haven't tried out Contrary Serp yet so I don't have much advice to give. Maybe consider replacing Glare and/or Leech Seed with HP Fire/Rock or Dragon Pulse if you find yourself wishing you had extra coverage

Darmanitan looks good, but you should make it Jolly for some more speed

Empoleon
>If you're gonna put Wish in Chansey, Shed Shell Empoleon is alright. Otherwise, give it Leftovers. Consider Roar or Defog over one of your attacks for support

Lando-T
>Don't use Fly, ever. If Mega Hera and friends are troubling you, use HP Flying. It OHKOs standard M-Hera iirc, even with a - nature.

>>22297461
Chesnaught is pretty solid in OU right now, especially since Spikes are doing better than ever in this meta. The shit that stops it, namely Smogon Bird, are easily stopped.

It's shit because you can use better options for the roles it can do.

Just as Jolteon is shit too because it gets outclassed by both mega-manectric and raikou, so why handicap yourself?

Some people enjoy winning, and climbing towards the top of the ladder and the satisfaction of breaking past a certain ELO ranking. As such, they use the best Pokemon that'll best fit the roles they need on their team. Now that isn't to say that everyone will spam OU Pokemon like >>22297426 would have you believe, there are many lower tier Pokemon such as Amoonguss and Alomomola that are used often and successfully higher up in the ladder.

There's a myriad of ways to deal with Swagplay easily. Unaware Clefable and Quagsire are probably the best as they have functions outside of stopping that strategy, and Quagsire gets a boosted EQ while being immune to T-Wave. Pretty much any competent Ground or Electric-type with a Lum Berry and Substitute stop it too. Even basic ones like Krookodile and Electivire can stop it, though Garchomp is probably the best.

Clefable can also do good damage to boosting sweepers.

not really a great team for laddering, but it's fun to screw around with on sub 1500

thinking about ditching heatran and making it a UU team, but never really played on UU

i know mega swampert would be nice, but i like using ludicolo & steelix better because they look cooler

Don't run scarf rotom. I know it's a fun surprise and all but it's just too weak. Run Defensive Rotom-W and scarf landorus-t (with rocks as lure) and your team looks good.
Your team gets 6-0'd by SD tflame since you have scarf rotom.
