I've only been Competitive Battling a month, and this is the second team I made on my own. Please rate and make suggestions!!
Basic strategy- Mega Scizor gets Swords Dance and Baton Passes to either Entei or Conkelldur, sometimes even Garchomp.
Hannibal (Garchomp) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Blast
Garchomp will be my lead, setting up the rocks. Setting Rocks could be very useful to Mega-Scizor counters like Charizard, Talonflame and such. Another option is leading with Mega Scizor and keeping Garchomp as an option for Baton Passing. Fire Blast is for Ferrothorn.
Slashnugget (Scizor-Mega) (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Baton Pass
- Roost
The star of the team, all Mega Scizor has to do is Swords dance once or twice. Baton Passing is an option, not a necessity but if a Fire Move is predicted, Baton Pass will instantly be used to switch onto Entei. Mega Scizor can do well on its own too.
Entei @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Extreme Speed
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head
Comes after Mega Scizor if a fire move is predicted. Flash Fire + Attack boost after baton pass mixed with Entei's already high stats is almost a guaranteed victory.
Emerald (Milotic) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Haze
Milotic's a back-up for the team that has it's Fire and Ice weaknesses, would be a decent check for some sweepers with Haze. I was thinking of replacing Milotic with Starmie in case my teams gets Sticky Webbed or something.
Conkeldurr @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Mach Punch
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Knock Off
Excellent Sweeper after the Baton Pass, like I said he's one of the two main switch-ins Mega Scizor will have.
Bugs-B (Lopunny) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Klutz
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Switcheroo
- Fake Out
- Healing Wish
- Thunder Wave
Healing Wish could be vital if Mega Scizor fails at Swords Dance+Baton Pass and is switched out, giving the whole thing another chance. Switcheroo with Choice Scarf easily checks stallers like defensive Mega Slowbro that have an advantage over the team.
