Hello guys!, after several weeks of trying to come up with my own team I finally found something I enjoy playing (I think this is HO o.o), I'm new to the whole competitive scene been playing pokemon all my life but only clearing the storyline and stuff.
Anyways I managed to hit 1586 with this one (from 1200's) only losing 2 games, but after that I kept losing over and over again (around 1300 - 1400 atm), so I was hoping you guys could give me some advice, also I mean for this team to be also used in XY that's why I avoid most of the legends and or sets only obtainable in past versions. ( except for latias and suicune cause someone gave me perfect ones :S)
Meet Mawile and her random friends
.png)
Morgana (Mawile) (F) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Play Rough
- Focus Punch (Gotta replace this)
- Sucker Punch
She's my main attacker, bulky enough to take some hits and answer back with a huge punch, she finds quite a lot of opportunities to set up her sub and start punching stuff, over my testing I found out she's best brought up late since she's not bulky enough to last the whole match. I picked this particular pokemon as part of a core of Mawile + Dragon + Greninja, to try and cover some of their weaknesses.
Hayato (F) @ Weakness Policy
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 216 HP / 64 Atk / 228 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
- Roost
This is the dragon part of my offensive core, I picked dragonite in particular because of his great bulk while still retaining a lot of power + a great priority move (extreme speed), guy has been doing wonders for me, I was using a CBnite till I found this set, gives him so much bulk and the surprise factor since most people will try to ice beam it to death only to find out he survives and kills back :D, they usually switch lati@s to this guy and try to draco meteor only to get killed by the claw.
I love switching this into heatran, excadrill and even garchomp (assuming greninja is dead) all threats to mawile
Hayato (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Protean
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Extrasensory
My favorite pokemon of this gen and a great anti-lead, most of the time this guy either kills or forces a switch, He's the third part of my offensive core, and covers a lot of the weaknesses of mawile and dragonite, it can kill most bulky grounds and dragons, mega venu and even defensive rotom.
Had a lot of success early in the ladder with him but as I reached the 1600 it was getting countered a lot, I even tried a physical set which worked against other greninjas and some special walls that switched into him, but the lack of icebeam is really noticeable.
Demencia (Clefable) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Fire Blast
- Softboiled
This is my special sweeper / physical wall, I find he has a great bulk and great defenses, it can absorb status, switch into hazards, surprise kill with the fireblast, and when you get a good switch in and manage to set up it's pretty much unstoppable. Basically his job is to soak up status and use the oportunity to set up.
With this spread I can take an iron head from an unboosted bisharp and kill it back with fireblast.
Seki @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Thunder Wave
My physicall wall and rock setter, great typing good special defense as it can take special hits that are not fire or fight, thunderwave is there as my only status move, leech seed to stall and my only mild answer to baton passers (if I even manage to set them up).
His main job is to set rocks, spread waves and kill fairies I picked this guys because of the usefulness of his ability combined with rocky helmet, it poses threat to mega pinsir, talonflame, bisharp and azulmarill.
Meridia @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Psyshock
- Defog
I just love latias! so much raw power and speed, ever since I started using her I try to fit it in most of my teams, her main job is to break things that wall my team, a draco meteor can kill pesky rotoms, gliscor, also psyshock is another answer to mega venu, latias also supports dragonite with defog to remove rocks that break his multiscale. He's my second special attacker (reliable one since clefable needs to set up to sweep).

Well that's it! I'll leave you guys the importable to run your own tests.
