I had to battle all the 45 matches today...phew, it was exhausting. I did 29-16, if I'm not wrong, finishing with ~1650 pts. The team and analysis:
I wanted something to beat Dragonite, tapus, cloyster and gyarados, because at beggining I was pretty sure that those would be threat. Thinking on that, and having my Kanto Classic team in PS, I decided to run my Nidoking + Tailwind setter core. My original core was Nidoking + Zapdos, but I didn't know that tutor's move couldn't be remembered even if u transfered it with the pokemon, so no Tailwind zapdos for me (it made me soo sad, because many battles could have been won if there was a Zapdos)
Nidoking: Ice beam for Garchomp and other non-steel flying mons. Sludge Wave destroys Tapus. Earth Power for Magnezone and other steel-types. Thunderbolt against celesteela and water types. After tailwind my nidoking could easily win the game in 3 turns.
Talonflame: I couldn't use Zapdos, so I went with Bulky Talonflame. This was almost my lead against garchomps and dragonites. They couldn't handle WoW, since none set got lum berry or substitute. I decided to use flare blitz because of celesteela. Bulky Zapdos would be alot better.
Mimikyu: I've seen this set at BSS, copied (
I couldn't resist) and start using it. It works pretty well against tank mons. However, it completely losses it sweep capability.
Ditto: MVP of my team. The perfect mon against Cloyster and Kartana. The idea is simple, let cloyster setup, switch to ditto, take a Icicle Spear and sweep the opponent team with a boosted rock blast. Or, let kartana get a attack boost, switch and defeat the opponent kartana, getting other attack boost. Pretty neat.
Chansey: My usual pivot (
wut?). Since many teams got tapu koko and lele, chansey could easily lead against them and set the rocks on the field.
Gengar: I liked this set, but I would have replaced it with fast subseed Celesteela. Anyways, trick gengar was good against chanseys and toxapex, which were pretty common at PS, but NOT during the tournament. I used it like 5 times...Celesteela would be alot better.
Edit: Replays. I think that one of them was against a jp player using shiny Tapu koko.
