So I wanted to design a team centered around Mega Gallade as the main sweeper. Looking for thoughts and opinions. on it. The (Edited) Team:
Ouch (Ferrothorn) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Spikes
Physical wall, classic set. Gyro Ball will destroy most threats in the tier.
Flinch Me (Gallade) @ Galladite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance
I switched out Ice Punch for SD and Close Combat for Drain Punch to give Gallade a bit more longevity, since without Drain Punch, he dies very quickly.
I am the Night (Greninja) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump
- U-turn
- Dark Pulse
Typical OU threat with Protean and a Life Orb.
Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
This is My answer to what nickcrash mentioned down below: My team was extremely weak to Talonflame and Magic Guard Clefable. Iron head will decimate Clefable and Rock slide should discourage any Talonflames from staying in. Also, Rapid Spin to deal with annoying hazards.
Police (Magnezone) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [ice]
- Thunderbolt
I put VS and Magnet pull on this thing and so far it's been doing pretty good. Mainly counters Azu and Slowbro, both of which are everywhere.
Mega Muk (Goodra) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Bomb
Special Wall, which is extremely hard to take down, even with a Physical sweeper because of that sheer bulk and crazy movepool. Destroys Lati@s, Mega or not.
This is my first RMT so I probably did something wrong. Feel free to critique me because I'm pretty new to competitive battling.
Alrighty so same deal as last time. I an completely open to your suggestions.
