INTRODUCTION
What's going on guys? So, let me start off by saying I've never been a great team builder. I struggle with putting pokemon with great synergy together. However with a lot of practice and experience I think I've come up with a team that seems to be working quite well for me. I hope you guys can help me improve this team.P.S shout out if you know that song lol.

IN-DEPTH LOOK
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
The Standard Mega-Gyarados set. I wanted to build a team based around a powerful sweeper who once he gets set up can wash away my opponents entire team. I decided on Ice Fang over Stone Edge/ Substitute/ Payback and Bounce because I felt like Ice fang was more beneficial for handling any bulky grass types like Mega-Venasuar.
Martian (Clefable) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Moonblast
- Moonlight
- Fire Blast
To partner with my Mega-Gyarados I wanted a bulky fairy type and the first one that came to mind was Clefable. I combined a sort of utility set with an offensive set. Moonblast for STAB obviously and Stealth rocks to help out against Focus Sash users, Sturdy Users and Pokemon that are weak to the rocks. Lastly I decided on Fire Blast because Skarmorys with whirlwind that would switch out my Set up Gyrados were troublesome and most leads that set up hazards are weak to fire.
DAKNESS (Bisharp) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance
The next pokemon I picked was Bisharp. He has great typing and very powerful STAB moves. Another reason I choose him was because pokemon with intimidate and sticky web could cause quite a bit of trouble to my team since I didn't have a spinner and the defiant ability absolutely shines when I switch him on sticky web. It's essentially a free SD and if I predict my opponent to switch than that's another SD I'm able to get off.
Manaphy @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Tail Glow
- Scald
- Energy Ball
- Ice Beam
Aww Manaphy is so cute right ^_^... You could not be anymore wrong. When I first went up againt manaphy I seen him use Tail Glow and I though " Ok obviously he's going to use Baton pass" So I made the necessary switch as if he would have... Than I got swept. I decided he would be a great fit for my team because he could switch in on fire types that would cause problems for Bisharp and Steel types that would cause trouble for Clefable and Get off a tail glow for a nice sweep, which is the theme of my team. I'm not really liking this EV spread however He's really frail with it and I was wondering If maybe putting some HP EV's would help out with that ?
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
I put Porygon2 here because with Eviolite he's extremely bulky and he has a great Movepool, boosted by analytic. I usually switch him in when I see a wall that I want to poison and stall out. I tried Chansey but I didn't really like it that much simply because his move pool wasn't the best, Chansey is really bulky don't get me wrong but I preferred Porygon. However with some suggestions I would be open to replacing him.
Latias (F) @ Life OrbShiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Healing Wish
- Dragon Pulse
- Psyshock
- Defog
Lastly I just wanted some type coverage I needed a defogger or rapid spinner because I found a lot of Pokemon were able to set up full hazards on me especially Deoxys-D and I needed a way to remove them. Also I needed access to a strong Psychic type move to handle Mega-Venasuar If My Gyarados wasn't fully set up to handle him. And lastly I wanted to use Healing wish to give my pokemon that needed to set up a second chance if needed when Latias or another pokemon removed the threat.
CONCLUSION
As I said before my team building skills are pretty much garbage, however I found with proper prediction this team works pretty well for me. I need a lot help to improve this team obviously so I decided to bring it here. I look forward to help!
Have A Based Day ^_^
