Hey I've got another FEAR Aron team! This one's for OU because I think it's better there. The whole team is supposed to support Aron's gimmick, but the other Pokemon can also hold their own. I think it's pretty good how it is, but just not good enough. Help is appreciated!
Tyranitar
Item: Focus Sash/Chople Berry/Air Balloon
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 SpD
Ability: Sand Stream
~Stealth Rock/Fire Blast
~Taunt
~Pursuit
~Earthquake
This is my lead Pokemon 99% of the time. Right now I'm using Focus Sash and Stealth Rock in the optional spots, but I want Fire Blast to beat leading Ferrothorns and Forretresses. Taunt and Pursuit are really good, and nobody's expecting them on a lead T-tar! Earthquake is just a decent attacking move in general but mostly filler. I think Dark Gem or Quick Claw could be used as well. Pursuit is mainly useful for hitting Ghosts that Endeavor can't hit (getting to that soon), because they'll likely switch out against T-tar.
Hippowdon
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 Def
Ability: Sand Stream
~Crunch
~Stockpile
~Slack Off
~Toxic
I need another Sand summoner to counter other weather teams because Sandstorm is vital for this team. This set is tanky and works. Crunch is to hit ghosts that Endeavor can't, and the other moves with Leftovers makes a pretty good tank.
Aron
Level 1
EVs and Nature: Who cares?
Item: Shell Bell
Ability: Sturdy
~Endeavor
~Sleep Talk
~Aerial Ace
~Protect
For those who don't know about this gimmicky "FEAR" Aron, the idea is to get a few KOs with Sturdy + Endeavor, with sandstorm finishing the foe off. Then, since it's at level 1, the Shell Bell will almost certainly heal all of the HP! Aerial Ace is to take down weakened foes who are immune to Sandstorm and don't have Leftovers, and Sleep Talk is a good filler move in the rare instance they try to put Aron to sleep. Protect is another filler move and can Sandstorm or Toxic stall, or just scout while doing those!
Gallade
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Ability: Steadfast
~Psycho Cut
~Shadow Sneak
~Night Slash
~Stone Edge/Close Combat
Gallade is a good Pokemon for this team. He outspeeds Breloom, a major threat to Aron and usually OHKOs it with Psycho Cut. Night Slash, is, again, to hit ghosts that Endeavor can't Shadow Sneak provides priority to finish off Endeavor-weakened foes that are immune to Sandstorm. I'm not sure what to use for the last slot, as both moves have their uses.
Starmie
Item: Fire Gem
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SpA, 4 SpD, 252 Spe
Ability: Natural Cure
~Rapid Spin
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Hidden Power Fire
Hazards and hazard setters are a big pain to FEAR Aron, so a fast spinner is needed (maybe even two). HP Fire + Gem is pretty good as a silver bullet against Ferrothorn and Forretress. The other moves are good against most Pokemon immune to Sandstorm.
Cloyster (Should I have Spin on it???)
Item: Life Orb/Ice Gem/Expert Belt (currently using Life Orb)
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Ability: Skill Link
~Ice Shard
~Icicle Spear
~Rock Blast
~Shell Smash
Another Pokemon providing priority kills on Pokemon weakened by Endeavor but immune to Sandstorm. If you predict the switch then Shell Smash can be used. Not to mention that Cloyster is just a good Pokemon in general and definitely has sweeping potential.
So what do you guys think?
