I been trying to fix my team for a long time. Having 3 Pokemon weak to dark moves such as knock off is not ideal at all.
Alakazam-Mega @ Alakazite
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
My late sleeper. He can come on hazards and do lots of damage. The mega ability Trace allows me to take advantage of water or sand abilities that make increase speed (excadrill, swampert) as well as slow down choice scarf users such as Landours with their intimidate.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Protect
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
Not much needs to be said here. Leech Seed and Protect to stall out teams. Very few Pokémon can kill him in one shot. Once seeded I use protect and switch between Chandelure, Tapu Fini to stall out the opponent. I recently switched to Knock Off over Gyro Ball to give me a chance against scarfed Kartana
Scolipede @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
- Toxic Spikes
I normally start off with Scolipede unless I believe they are using a hazard user such as Shuckle or Landours. Earthquake catches a bunch of the steel Pokémon off guard especially heatran and magnezone. Protect and one of the moves will KO most Pokémon on 2 shots. It also catches taunt users off guard such as Tapu Koko
Latios @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Trick
Another late sweeper. He can outspeed most Pokemon and takes a hit much better than Alakazam can. Trick is mostly used for Chansey. Latios can outspeed scarf less Kartana which is the Pokémon that gives my team that most trouble.
Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Moonblast
- Taunt
- Defog
Tapu Fini has been my lead more recently as players are using more hazards leads. Taunt and Defog can clean up nearly all of that. Misty Surge is also great to cancel out Tapu Koko’s electric terrain and give Hawlucha his speed boost that can bury my team.
Chandelure @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
Chandelure is great for taking on Chansey as well as a Pokémon such as Celesteela trying to use flamethrower on Ferrothorn or Scolipede. I tried running with Blacephalon but he can’t take a hit even from a fire move. A choice item would get rid of my defense for Chansey. Substitute also keeps sucker punch users such as. Bisharp away.
Hawlucha, Kartana, Mega Pinsir, Mega Scizor, Tyranitar are Pokemon that tend to give me the most problems. Let me know which Pokémon should be my replacement
