i've been playing shoddy for a little while and iv come to the point where im only winning about half of my battles and i don't know what to change. any advice that you guys can give is greatly appreciated
so here's the latest revision of my team:
Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Fake Out
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Close Combat
---lead: fake out first then stealth rock. i've really gotten to like this lead because of its reliability and good type coverage against other leads.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Surf
---wall/calm mind sweeper. im not so sure about suicune's synergy with this team. i previously had starmie in this spot.
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
---great type coverage with this set plus immunity to ground and fighting
Tyranitar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 160 HP/252 Atk/96 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Crunch
- Aqua Tail
---my sweeper. tyranitar usually does a pretty good job with the heavy hitting
Dusknoir (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/28 Atk/228 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Pain Split
- Ice Punch

Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower

---pretty much the standard revenge killer for OU though i am definitely considering switching him out for a weavile because i don't have much of a counter to dragon types
