☆☆ Where the Fairy Flies ☆☆
☆Introduction☆
Hi ! Long time I didn't make a RMT :) I wanted to do one for my 0.5k Milestone but I didn't have any idea ;-; But after Shiny Jirachi event, I decided to try this cute fairy in OU and to be original this time. The title of this RMT comes from an excellent RPG you should play ;)
I don't really have anything more to tell you so let's have a look at the team itself !

☆Teambuilding☆
Jirachi was the mon I wanted to build my team around. His great typing ( even if it lost Dark/Ghost resistance this gen ) is still pretty useful and its very good stat in defense help it tanking tons of hit. Its ability to Flinch haxx to death is also pretty amazing.
Clefable has a great synergy with Jirachi, helping it against Dark/Fighting mons. It's also a great late sweeper with its ability to Calm Mind easily when all its threats are removed.
I needed a Dragon type to end this Steel/Fairy/Dragon core. I choosed TankZard X for its ability to check Scizor and other Steel types with ease as they gave Jirachi and Clefable trouble. Even if it is more defensive, TankZard X is still a potential wallbreaker, weakening foes to help Jirachi achieve its job.
With the x4 weakness of Charizard to Stealth Rock, I needed a good Defogger. And as my defensive core seems to be too weak againt Mega-Pinsir, I needed a good check. Here comes Zapdos. He's also imo the Defogger with the better match-up against Bisharp as he can use a super effective Heat Wave.
My team is at the moment pretty weak to opposing M-Charizard X ( Clefable can't take 2 Flare Blitz at +1 ) So I though I needed a good Stealth Rock setter to be able to revenge kill easier and thought to Swampert for its pretty good typing ( just a weakness to Grass ) and for its ability to Roar against threats who are trying to set up.
I lacked priority, a well-played Bisharp was still annoying and I was lacking a good Fighting types to defeat the Pink blobs easier. Welcome Conkeldurr ! Knock Off is an amazing moves and forgetting it when building a team is a big error imo.
My team was very weak to Landorus-I, Specs Keldeo and M-Charizard X so after some good suggestions, I decided to add Gliscor to handle the first one and Slowbro for the others. Slowbro also helps the team with Thunder Wave support.☆In depth☆
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Iron Head
- Zen Headbutt
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
My favourite Jirachi set <3 Spreading paralysis to all the big threats and then Para Flinching them to death with Iron Head/Zen Headbutt. With 25% being paralyzed and 60/40% flinching, the opponent won't hit often. Careful Nature and this EVs spread helps tanking most of the Special moves. It's great bulk also allows it to set SR with ease.

252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Jirachi: 134-160 (33.1 - 39.6%) -- 15.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Protect
- Aromatherapy
This Clefable set is a real pain to get rid of. Unaware avoids being swept by set-up sweepers like M-Charizard X or opposing Calm Mind Clefable. Wish/Protect is amazing for recovery and allows Wish passing. Aromatherapy gets rid of status which would annoy some members of my team like Slowbro or Jirachi.
252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 252-297 (63.9 - 75.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 217-256 (55 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 171-202 (43.4 - 51.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 157-186 (39.8 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 157-186 (39.8 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Charizard @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 248 HP / 148 SpD / 112 Spe
Careful Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Will-O-Wisp
It's the first time I'm using TankZard X and I have to admit it is pretty good. It's the classic set, Dragon Claw for STAB, Roost for recovery and WoW to burn all the Physical Sweepers who dare to stay against it. Earthquake is here to avoid being totally walled by Heatran and can hit Tyranitar hard.
Charizard is my main ( only... ) good answer to Thundurus-I. EVs Spread allow to outspeed most of the Physical sweepers which don't have a beneficial nature to burn them before being hit.
252+ SpA Life Orb Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 148+ SpD Mega Charizard X: 90-107 (25 - 29.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ SpA Alakazam Psychic vs. 248 HP / 148+ SpD Mega Charizard X: 147-174 (40.9 - 48.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Heatran Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 148+ SpD Mega Charizard X: 192-226 (53.4 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Alakazam Psychic vs. 248 HP / 148+ SpD Mega Charizard X: 147-174 (40.9 - 48.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Heatran Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 148+ SpD Mega Charizard X: 192-226 (53.4 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 188 Def / 68 SpA
Bold Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Defog
- Heat Wave
Zapdos is an amazing Defogger imo. Actually, it deals with Bisharp, the most used Defiant user, without much trouble if I predict correctly the swich-in. It's also a great Pinsir counter if it didn't get a boost with Swords Dance, the 68 SpA EVs are here for OHKO it with Thunderbolt. Pretty classic set, not much to say about it.
252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 188+ Def Zapdos: 115-136 (29.9 - 35.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 188+ Def Zapdos: 228-268 (59.3 - 69.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 188+ Def Zapdos: 158-186 (41.1 - 48.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 188+ Def Zapdos: 228-268 (59.3 - 69.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 188+ Def Zapdos: 158-186 (41.1 - 48.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Fire Blast
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
Say hello to a bulky beast : Slowbro ! This thing wasn't alreay bulky enough so Game Freak gave him this wonderful ability : Regenerator ( why didn't they do the same with M-Slowbro ;-; ). Thanks to it, Slowbro has an amazing staying power and don't fear losing some HPs as he will come back healthy again.
About the set, Scald + Thunder Wave allow to spread annoying status. Fire Blast is for Ferrothorn and Scizor and Slack Off to have another way of recovering. EVs Spread and Bold Nature allows it to deal with threats like M-Charizard X. And with it's great typing it's my best answer to Specs Keldeo.
252+ Atk Charizard Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Slowbro: 50-59 (12.6 - 14.9%) -- possibly the worst move ever
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Slowbro: 156-184 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Slowbro: 133-157 (33.7 - 39.8%) -- 27.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Slowbro: 156-184 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Slowbro: 133-157 (33.7 - 39.8%) -- 27.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 192 SpD / 72 Spe
Careful Nature
- Taunt
- Roost
- Toxic
- Knock Off
Fear Specially Defensive Gliscor ! Between great bulk, special defense investment and Poison Heal this thing is the nightmare of every Special attacker if it's not Keldeo or something with Ice coverage. Knock Off over EQ to deal at least some damages to Landorus-I and removing annoying items like Eviolite. Roost is obviously here for recovery and Toxic/Taunt to break through annoying stallers.
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Psychic vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 139-165 (39.4 - 46.8%) -- 88.7% chance to 3HKO after Poison Heal
252+ SpA Alakazam Psychic vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 153-181 (43.4 - 51.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Poison Heal
252 SpA Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 88-104 (25 - 29.5%) -- possible 6HKO after Poison Heal
252+ SpA Alakazam Psychic vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 153-181 (43.4 - 51.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Poison Heal
252 SpA Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 88-104 (25 - 29.5%) -- possible 6HKO after Poison Heal

☆Conclusion and Replays☆
As I said I'm laddering with this team at the moment. As soon as I'll reach an interesting ranking I'll update this ( I'm near to 1500 atm ). Anyway it's the most funny team I ever made and I like it a lot. Don't hesitate to leave a comment or a suggestiong, this team needs to be improved. The only thing I want to keep is Jirachi :3
Thanks for reading and hoping you will enjoy this team if you test it !
