Yeah, I've been studying up on the fifth gen. May as well get started early and make a competitive team!

deoxys-s.gif

Deoxys-S @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Magic Coat
- Taunt
- ExtremeSpeed

My lead. Quickly sets up one or two layers of spikes (three if I'm lucky) and either dies or switches out. Taunt is important here, as I can quickly stop an incoming stealth rock, which Urugamosu would hate. Magic coat is good for reflecting incoming taunts, which would normally screw me over, and extremespeed can do a bit of priority damage later in the game, if Deoxys can manage to survive long enough.

Nattorei @ Rugged Helmet
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 248 SDef
Sassy (+SDef, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed

Standard Nattorei. Sort of. Covers Urugamosu's weaknesses pretty well, and can also set up stealth rocks to add to my entry hazards. I can usually get this guy in after Deoxys and pull off a Stealth Rock. Rugged Helmet is great along with Iron Barbs, dealing 29% damage on opposing contact moves and my own. Add leech seed on top, and this thing can pull off a lot of indirect damage.

Tentacruel @ Life Orb
Liquid Ooze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Giga Drain
- Acid Bomb
- Rapid Spin

Offensive spinner. I needed a spinner to spin away rocks and take water hits for Urugamosu, but Tentacruel can also come in on fire types that threaten Nattorei. Acid bomb is great to use on the switch, usually forcing them to switch twice. It has also saved me once or twice against their last pokemon, when all I have left is Tentacruel and a special attacker.

urugamosu.gif

Urugamosu @ Life Orb
Flame Body
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
- Butterfly Dance
- Flame Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Hidden Power [Ground]

Urugamosu is great. As long as I have rock spun away, Urugamosu can get 1-2 KOs. I picked Flame Dance over Fire Blast because of the great set-up potential, and I haven't been losing KOs over it either. Hidden Power ground takes care of rock types and heatran, but I could change it to HP rock if I notice a significant problem.

desukaan.gif

Desukaan @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind
- Evil Eye
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Desukaan takes care of physical attackers with its great defence and will-o-wisp. Also can block spins, a probable attempt given my stack of entry hazards. Evil Eye is pretty good, especially when paired with will-o-wisp. Calm Mind is good if I can manage to set it up. SP fighting provides good neutral coverage.

garchomp.gif

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Blast

My revenge killer. He's pretty good in that spot, and takes care of most threats with either outrage or eathquake. Fire Blast allows for better coverage. Revenge killer is his main job, but if I can predict the right move lategame, he can pretty much sweep the rest of the opposing team.



Comments? Suggestions? Complete overhauls?

Haha, deoxys for taunt. Pretty sure deoxys-s is banned on smogon now! And anyway erufuun is a much better taunter, though I think that's also banned on Smogon. :D? I don't think you can get mischievous heart and spikes on the same pokémon, but if a spikes is predicted at all.... SR leads don't really exist wherever MH isn't banned.

Honestly, in testing, I've barely been using taunt, except to stop setups. Even if I did have to use it for SR, though, there would hardly be a difference between using mischievous heart over max speed deoxys. Also, no, it isn't banned. Not yet, at least, but a lot of people think it'll be staying in OU.

EDIT: Deoxys-a and Deoxys-n are banned, which may be what you were thinking of.

Whoops.

There's a really, really big difference between MH and max speed deoxys: max speed's no good against other things with MH. :(
 
True, but I don't really need to taunt them, since none of them get stealth rock. Plus, I can just use magic coat on their taunt.
