SM OU Dark Spam (featuring Bisharp)

[crystal lynn]

Hello friends!

Today I want to share a team I put together with ideas from 2 different people. This team is a product of teams of dora and storm zone thrown together with some alterations and imo, its a very fun team and can be very effective still. It uses bisharp, which I thought would be an amazing pick during olt because of how much people were using reuniclus and mega latias and I was planning to bank on it to qualify but I am bad so it didnt work out! :C

Heres some screenshots of the epic sweeps I got with this team and whatever replays I happen to have, which is why you should try it out! Its fun! Multiple people have also asked me for the team!

Let's talk about the movesets!

Drow ranger (EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 104 SpD to survive +2 hawlucha acrobatics after stealth rock + 1 spike)
- Surf = water stab to counter heatran
- Natures madness = to soften the opponent for lopunny
- Defog = clear hazard
- Taunt = death to stall

Calamity
- Hyperspace fury = spam dark stab to be unwallable
- Gunk shot = ohko fairies
- Fire punch = grief scizor and ferrothorn
- Ice punch = grief gliscor and landot

Ms fuckbunny
- Fake out + quick attack = dual priority relives teams slowness somewhat, helps a lot vs offense esp. with spikes
- Return + high jump kick = standard stabs on lopunny

Pudge
- Spikes = more hazards for easier wallbreak with bisharp + hoopa, easier clean with lopunny
- Leech seed = recovery
- Power whip = hit greninja
- Gyro ball = hit tornadus, no free defog, punish tapu bulu

Enten (24 speed outspeed rotom-w)
- Stealth rock = every team needs em
- Earthquake = every landot needs it
- Toxic = weaken opposing landot, cripple hawlucha (which otherwise has great matchup vs team)
- Uturn = to safely bring in a wallbreaker

Aka storm zone
- Swords dance = boost atk to be unwallable
- Knock off = dark stab with item removal utility
- Iron head = steel stab to punish fairies resisting dark
- Sucker punch (+ dark z) = priority (nuke heatran/ferro/scizor at +2)

The team is very notably weak to mega scizor. Outside of that, I think if u play alright, most games are winnable. Hope you guys try the team out!

Would it be worth switching out Surf for Brine on Tapu Fini? Brine would give you more damage on half health (or less) targets. Since you already have Nature's Madness on the set and Hazard support to offset leftovers, I thought it might work better for you on that set than Surf.

Nice team.

You’re unfortunately helpless against Mega Scizor as you have no counterplay for it whatsoever and Ferrothorn is setup bait. Not sure what can be done.

Also, I suggest Jolly over Adamant for Bisharp, as it outpaces several enticing targets: SG Magearna, Zapdos, Modest Heatran, Tapu Fini

Brine is... not exactly good.

Edit: excuse my idiocy but after looking it up I say THATS RIDICULOUSLY BRILLIANT
