Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serence Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 176 SpD / 80 Spe
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- U-turn
- Body Slam
Jirachi provides Stealth Rock and is a great switch in for Fairy- and Psychic-types, which currently are very threatening. Is also able to U-Turn out on opposing switches to get momentum. Jirachi also has a fair chance of getting paralysis with Body Slam, which hinders fast sweepers.
Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Toxic
Not a fan of Choice Scarf Excadrill, but desperate times call for desperate measure I guess. Charizard + Serperior + Starmie is steamrolled by Mega Altaria, Clefable, Mega Metagross (to an extent), Mega Charizard X at +1, Mega Gardevoir, Bisharp, and Talonflame. Excadrill beats all of these except for Mega Charizard X, and it also switches decently against FairySpam. Toxic is to wear down Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Landorus-T on the switch. Needs an answer to Mega Gardevoir and Mega Charizard X afterwards however.
Voting begins!

ty for the copy paste oO
More seriously, I don't like Defensive Landorus-T, even if it have more offensive presence. I prefer Jirachi > Klefki, because U-Turn is awesome in this kind of team, and tbh Excadrill Scarf Rapid Spin is garbage.

Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 112 Def / 148 SpD
Careful Nature
- Spikes
- Thunder Wave
- Magnet Rise
- Play Rough
So this team needs an answer to Fairy-types, quick. Klefki remedies by providing an answer to Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria, the top threats to the Pokemon at the moment. Pretty standard set, also provides Spikes support to stack hazards nicely alongisde Hippowdon. Thunder Wave support is also awesome for slowing down fast Pokemon such as Keldeo. Also beats Bisharp which chips away at Hippowdon, and Kyurem-B which is extremely annoying for the team at the moment.
