Zen Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 As some of you may recall, the three of us have a fetish fondness for Skill Swap. And of course, we monotype all the time. So, here's the core of a doubles team, made for the flying monotype --- Butterfree (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Compoundeyes EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Giga Drain - Sleep Powder - Skill Swap - Quiver Dance --- Archeops (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Defeatist EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Aerial Ace - Rock Slide/Stone Edge - Earthquake - Crunch/Dragon Claw/Filler --- Gyarados (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Intimidate EVs: 32 Atk / 172 Def / 96 SDef / 208 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Waterfall - Earthquake - Ice Fang/Stone Edge - Dragon Dance --- So, it should be pretty obvious what's going down here. Butterfree can liberate archeops of Defeatist, which makes it dangerous to an extent (aerodactyl imitator, anyone?). What's more, CompoundEyes can ensure that Rock Slide/Stone Edge hit nearly all the time. Gyarados is a backup in case archeops goes down - both Ice Fang and Stone Edge could also benefit from CompoundEyes. Intimidate may also ensure the survival of both pokemon until the trick kicks in. Another possibly fun option would be to Swap out Defeatist using a Xatu. Magic Bounce could prevent whimsicott/sableye/volbeat/liepard/riolu from trolling it, after all.
