What is the definitive way to build a team in OU
What roles are needed, what needs to be countered, etc
I'm a pretty bad team builder, I do pretty good in low ladder but the moment I reach 1300 I plummet.

Just use stall. Guaranted wins.

>Tapu Lele switchin (Celesteela, Hitachi, Steel types, Scarf Nihilego which also takes care of every other Tapu)
>Lando
>Either a Fire type like Heatran or one of the Mega Zards, or something with HP Fire like Magnezone, which can also check most Tapu Lele
>Your own Tapu(s)/UB
>Some kind of sweeper/Mega
>6th slot can be anything, maybe something with Volt Switch or Greninja

There. You win.

3 slow u-turns and mega medicham, get rocks up, u-turn and start clicking HJK until either you miss or everything in the opponent team dies

Good OU player here, how I build a team is like this:

1. Find a Pokemon you WANT to use, doesn't matter if it's not currently in OU.
2. Find a Pokemon that can punish most if not all Pokemon that try and answer the Pokemon desired for Step 1.
3. Create a core of 3 Pokemon that can cover most threats in the meta, either offensively, defensively, or as a pivot.
4. Fit a hazard manager on the team.
5. Playtest to see what's not working, and replace moves, items, or even mons if they're not pulling their weight with something you realize you need to plug holes.

Step 3 can overlap with Step 4 or even Steps 1 and 2, but I feel like you're motivated to succeed when you're using something you want to use. FWG cores are usually reliable, but you're definitely going to want a Steel type, something that can handle Volt Turn, and a Fire resist that's not weak to Grass. Haze is a good idea for handling Baton Pass, and it's good to have a stallbreaker on the team for (obviously) stall.

Landorus + Steel type + Water type + Speed Control (choice scarf user or multiple priority) + Mega + Z-Move User


It's very general, but it should apply to a variety of playstyles.
