So, I've been trying to think of a decent area to post this kind of question, but I want to check viability of a (hopefully not too) gimmicky combination.
Lead with:
Hippowdown (w/ leftovers or Shed Shell or Eject Button)
Sand-stream
Careful / Impish
252HP/56A/200D
-Earthquake
-Slack off
-Stealth Rock/Rock Slide
-Crunch
Aerodactyl (+MS)
Rock head -> Tough Claws
Adamant
22HP/252A/236SPD (possible outspeed of MGengar tier?)
-Aerial Ace / Iron Head
-Ice Fang / Crunch / Iron Head
-Rock Slide / Stone edge
-Scary Face
After it begins, switch the hippo out for Malamar while using Scary face on Hippo/Malamar
Malamar (w/ LO or King's Rock or Leftovers)
Contrary
Adamant / Jolly
200HP/160A/150Spd
-Superpower
-PsychoCut
-Night Slash
-Protect/Taunt/Rock Slide
Thus giving Mal a +2 to speed and giving leeway to start a bulking sweep with +1A/+1D Superpower.
Its stat spread is pretty weak compared to others, but this kind of use might save it (for me anyway).
The other slots are up in the air personally. I think an Aromatherapy Florges or Sawsbuck (Florges would add SA to this team and interesting coverage, but better speed and ability to damage for Sawsbuck) would help protect for status afflictions and add some further diversity to attacks. Especially considering protecting the big guns in Megadactyl and Malamar
Any comments would be appreciated as this is a very basic idea that I'm considering expanding.
(First post, woo)
Edit: Hippowdown is obviously not a needed pokemon as he would decrease the life span of Malamar, but it would help out Megadactyl in tackling some of those errant Ice beams.
