Seems like a plan. Otherwise, man does that team look golden. The /only/ thing I might suggest is a Bisharp or a Spin-blocker, but it seems to prevent spinning by offensive pressure.

The only good Grass types in OU Raikou easily smashes with Aura Sphere and Extrasensory.

It's interesting to note that Extrasensory is a 3HKO on Venusaur. Man, fuck Venusaur. BTW, should I max out EVs on a Modest ScarfRaikou? Not sure if there's a speed tier I can hit and be happy with.

I was simply mentioning a niche Manectric has over other electric typs. Yes, Raikou is good. I wont deny that. Its just unfortunate that hes forced to run a Rash nature when using Aura Sphere |

Rangeet's team is solid and well-built, not simply because its legends. :P

Deoxys-D is my main problem. I'm not sure when it went to OU, but it was Übers at one point, and I think there it should have stayed.

That was last gen when things like Aegislash and the new and improved Bisharp didnt exist in OU.

Deoxys attack, I"m good with in OU because it actuall trades defense numbers for offense ones. Deoxys Defense still gets decent attack while it's defense stats are equivalent to Deo-A's Attack numbers.
Back in my day, only one Deoxys wasn't Uber, and that was Deo-S. IMO, that's how it should still be.

My teambuilding style is usually
1. Find two gimmicks 2. Put them together 3. Make them work

>wants Deo-A I can't even. Deo-N was banned from OU this Gen because it blew apart the metagame. And you want the better version of it? Done.

Also Deoxys A shreds everything that doesnt have a priority move. Very few things can take a hit from him. |

[beating a dead horse] I think this talk of F.E.A.R. tactics brings up an interesting point.
Gen 4: "Oh shit, F.E.A.R. is a thing. Well then. Guess we'd better all run entry hazards and Whirlwind/Roar to deal with it." "Well what if I don't wanna run entry hazards or Whirlwind/Roar? " "Then I guess you continue to lose to F.E.A.R. teams. Deal with it." " ......... fiiiiine. *adds SR to his team*" Gen 6: "Oh shit, Baton Pass is a thing. Well then. Guess we'd better all run Haze to deal with it." "Well what if I don't wanna run Haze? " "Then I guess you continue to lose to Baton Pass teams. Deal with it." "NO U DEAL WITH IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT! BAN BATON PASS!" Copy and paste for Swagger (Safeguard, Blissey, etc.) and anything else that was banned in Gen 6 despite having easy answers in the game or that wasn't banned in Gens 3 and 4 precisely because of the easy answers in the game which players were encouraged to incorporate into their teams if they didn't want to lose to gimmicks.

How Baton Pass teams go against my new OU Team:
They lead with Smeargle, I lead with Lando-T. I switch to Magic Bounce Espeon, they use Spore. Smeargle falls asleep. They forfeit. That's usually how things go. |

Deoxys A can't take a hit for crap so maybe it could be OU.
What I'd really want is the old gen 4 Deoxys tiering where only Speed was non-Uber.

Neither can Deo-N. Also Deo-S was banned for quite a while in Gen IV. It was also banned before D in Gen V.

I can say that back in my newbie days I came across a Smogon page that listed all Deoxys except speed as Übers.

My point is that I agree with that. You guys feel Normal and Attack are broken, and IMO defense is just too good. Speed is meh.

I know youve watched my replays. Im sure most people here have watched at least one. Please tell me how Speed is meh. When you play him right, he gets KOs that other Pokemon could only dream of thanks to that speed stat of his. Not even Scarfchomp can catch him (who is OHKOed by Ice Beam, I might add)
