Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
For anyone who might be following the yearly team builds I'm sorry to say but there isn't going to be a team this month. I just finished moving apartments and have literally only had time to play 3 games of pokemon so far in may. We will be back in full swing come June and I have something...
Team Overview:
PASTE HERE
I ended last month's post with a very bold statement. I declared that the focus of this team would be Mega Ampharos, and more importantly for this write up, I stated that it had no replacement. I could not have been more wrong. It’s a slow, bulky, electric dragon...

Well folks, I’ve officially done it. I have well and truly peaked as a builder. I do not say this lightly, but it takes a truly innovative mind to cook up a team this special. I started with four of the top ten pokemon in the format and...
Defensive synergy might still be off and the sets likely need tweaking, but for an off the cuff go I feel its a step towards a more cohesive offense and should function better to enable the zard sweep gameplan.

Hope this helps!
Finally, and I know this is a rough suggestion given that the team is called Xard LELE but I would recommend swapping Lele with Hatterne. It provides similar offensive threat while keeping hazards off for your zard. I adore eject button healing wish as it negates the downside of a bad...
With the ferro drop we need stealth rock on tusk, and I've elected to swap tusk to a bulky z crystal nuke set instead of a fast booster set. This can be icium or rockium with headsmash, simply pick whatever feels better.
You need a real Mola answer, especially so if we're dropping Ferro. There's only one real choice for this slot, Ogerpon-Wellspring in place of Torn. This once again lowers the defensive capability of your team in place of stronger offensive pressure, but Ogerpon provides similar knock off suport...
It's generic, but I have to recommend adding a Balloon Gholdengo in place of Ferro. It makes ground types a little scarier, especially in tandem with the change I'm about to propose but it increases your offensive prowess greatly and makes it so that if you actually get hazards up they'll stick...
Unfortunately loosing solar beam does mean you trade hosing Pex for struggling with Mola. And looking at your team, that's an issue. Power whip Ferrothorn is a good step towards an answer, but its never going to actually be able to handle it. Mola shrugs of +1 quakes and could not care less...
Yo, super happy to help and sorry for the slow response. I only hop on here once a month when its time for the team building thread. First off, your team concept is cool as hell, Zard X feels pretty well positioned rn. Actually having an answer to Toxapex and hardcore threatening Ting Lu is...
First off, I gotta give you an insane amount of props for making the team modifications fit the naming scheme, Pagoriyuki is inspired.
Second off I appreciate the insight. I had sort of been forming the idea of needing a revenge killer but having it laid out here really highlights why the...
