Wow T-Wave Rotom, the suggestions are pretty gimmicky as most Excadrills I encounter are Adamant; but I guess it'll make it more of a surprise. Smooth Rock on Hippowdon gives it less recovery. This makes the Hippo more reliant on Slack Off when it switches in on a strong attack (High JK, CC...

Faking the Choice item would be pretty funny, but spreading burns with scald is much more efficient and the power loss will make it harder to break down walls like Ferrothorn. Scarf Excadrill isn't really that necessary because it can already get a speed boost from Sand Rush thanks to Hippowdon...

Absol @ Absolite Ability: Justified EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Sucker Punch - Knock Off - Swords Dance - Play Rough The first sweeper on the team. Absol is a very strong mon and can do some serious damage to a weakened team after it's checks have been lowered. It's generally...

Arceus-Ghost @ Spooky Plate Ability: Multitype EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Shadow Force - Shadow Claw - Brick Break This team's main sweeper. Arceus-Ghost is great because of its solid stab which hits everything except normal types. Brick Break is a necessary...

yeah you can't exactly prepare for every threat in this meta and overpreparing leaves you with very few win conditions. I'd prefer a more offensive mon to help balance the team out rather than a 100% counter to a mon that threatens the team. Talon can be a problem, but there are ways to play...

Thanks for the suggestion, this team was looking very much like stall with Rotom-W. Although the checks to bird spam now are only Heatran who has no recovery. Other than that I appreciate the changes.

Keldeo @ Leftovers Ability: Justified EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Calm Mind - Scald - Secret Sword - Substitute Keldeo is the only conventional set-up sweeper on the team. Keldeo's ability to check special walls, set up and spread burns with Scald is greatly appreciated. Keldeo...

Sleep Talk is definitely a better option for Kyogre to help against Darkrai instead of having to choose a sleep fodder I could just switch in the whale. Offensive Lando-T is good because it is able to dent Primal Kyogre then again my team doesn't have any switch-ins to it besides my own Kyogre...

Charlie (Landorus-Therian) @ Earth Plate Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Toxic The rocker and a great check to the very common Primal Groudon which is basically free rocks against. Intimidate is good for checking strong...

Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite Ability: Trace EVs: 24 Def / 232 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Hyper Voice - Psyshock - Focus Blast - Calm Mind Mega Gardevoir hits extremely hard with its main stab Hyper Voice not too many mons can come in safely. Psyshock hits Venusaur which OHKOs it after a Calm...

Thanks for the response! I really like the changes made to Excadrill making him more of a threat in the sand. I also dig the Encore, Power-up Punch Lopunny really nice set and can nab a free boost on predicted stealth rocks. As for the IV change on Latio LOL thanks for telling me.

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 244 Atk / 12 Spe Adamant Nature - Smack Down - Earthquake - Stealth Rock - U-turn Smacking down chumps for days. The hazard setter whos job is to smack down common switch-ins such as skarm, rotom, and other landorus's which...

thanks and i swiped the set from one of Emvee's videos except I replaced sd with spore.

Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Light Metal EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Bullet Punch - Knock Off - Superpower I wanted to make a team revolving around SD Scizor with Superpower to hit steel types. Knock off is for knocking of Landorus's item. I initially thought...

I played a few games with the team and i honestly gotta say its a huge improvement. Rhydon is able to check flying types something that Sandlsash couldn't do reliably, and the combination of both Liligant and Samurott are able to make it a lot more difficult for the opponent to get up too many...
