This week, I decided to go with a mon I've been recently using that has been a little underrated as it isn't the most popular Ghost...

Mismagius @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Def / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex / Shadow Ball
- Thunder Wave / Destiny Bond / Pain Split

While there are a ton of slashes, Mismagius is really versatile right now and being able to outspeed Charizard is really good right now.

Submissions end Friday.

Reserving Sawk

Defensive Omastar:

Omastar @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe
Bold Nature
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Hidden Power [Electric]

Defensive Oma is pretty underrated right now, but it is definitely one of the most reliable hazard setters in the tier. Mismagius appreciates Omastar's hazard stacking capabilities, and in return provides Oma with a fighting/ground check, as well as a spinblocker. Oma can also lure in bulky Water-types that annoy Mismagius such as Mantine, and Pelipper, as Mismagius does not appreciate being burnt by scald.

 

[Rapture]

Swellow @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Brave Bird
- Boomburst
- Heat Wave
- U-turn
Silk Scarf Swellow really appreciates Mismagius's ability to whittle down common normal resists like Steelix, Rhydon, and fat mons in general. Missy also happens to have a pretty good match up versus most hazard setters in the tier and helps in keeping entry hazards off the field with taunt which is support Swellow certainly can take advantage of.

Sawk @ Choice Band
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

mismagius can eliminate the bulky ghosts and psychics that like to switch into sawk, as well as providing speed control with thunder wave. This allows sawk to easily spam close combats in order to decimate teams

 

[Pokedots]

Roselia @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
- Sludge Bomb

Roselia is cool and good. Any hazard stacker fits here, really, such as Garbodor, as Mismagius is a very good spinblocker, walling Claydol and Hitmonchan and checking Sandslash in addition to having Taunt to stop Defoggers, but I like how Mismagius provides a Fighting check, to make up for Roselia, in addition to Rose's ability to check special Water-types and Grass-types and absorb T-spikes. You can run some physical bulk to soft check Barbaracle and Samurott, too
