Introduction
This team is built around hydreigon sylveon and cobalion as a dragon fairy steel core. The idea is that the opposing team is worn down by stealth rocks and hydreigon/sylveon, and eventually are weak enough that mega abomasnow can swords dance up and use ice shard.
The Team
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Roost
Hydreigon is one of the best pokemon in the teir, and levitate and dark typing give it two useful immunities. Ideally, you switch is in to anything without powerful fighting, fairy, or ice moves, and use an effective move to begin wearing it down. Roost is there to help deal with life orb damage, and fire blast because this team lacks a fire type pokemon.
Sylveon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Shadow Ball
Sylveon is the second part of the dragon fairy steel core. I run it as a choice specs attacker with pixilate hyper voice, psychic for poison or fire types, hp fire because this team lacks fire coverage, and shadow ball for psychic types or ghost types. Like hydreigon, its there to just do as much damage to opposing mons as possible before it dies.
Cobalion @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Focus Blast
- Taunt
Cobalion is actually a pretty new addition to the team, I used to have doublade for the priority and fighting/normal immunity. However, I found I was loosing a lot of momentum switching pokemon out, and cobalions volt switch helps with that, while still providing many resistances and a poison immunity. I ran him with flash cannon to deal with fairy types, focus blast for dark and normal types, and taunt for some utility against sweepers or hazard setters. Bring cobalion in on a poison move or something he resists, and then volt switch out to gain momentum.
Abomasnow-Mega @ Abomasite
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Seed Bomb
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
Ideally, you bring Abomosnow out latish game, get a swords dance or two, and then ice shard everything. This means you have to get rid of ice resists before attempting to sweep, as ice shard won't do anything to them. I also have seed bomb to deal with water types, and earthquake for steel and electric types. I gave it soundproof so you can switch it into a hyper voice from sylveon or heliolisk for free.
Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Acid Spray
I needed a rapid spinner as mega abomosnow is weak to rocks, in addition to a fire check. scald burns wear down the opposing team, as do toxic spikes. Acid spray allows you to stop sweepers like suicune, or force out tanks. [/FONT
Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Swampert also helps deal with the fire weakness, and also the ground weakness my team has. Stealth Rocks are here to wear down the opposing team for abomosnow. Waterfall and Earthquake are good stab options. Stone edge is for birds (often defoggers) that come in to clear out the rocks.
Conclusion
As I said, doublade was recently replaces with cobalion. Ideally this will give the team more momentum to get threats in and do work. It has some issues with ground types. Thanks for reading, this is my first team post.
