Hippowdon doesn't quite handle both Talonflame and Mega Gardevoir. The only way Hippowdown can somewhat switch into Mega Gardevoir is to fully invest in SpD, and even then, it's still dicey: 232 SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Hippowdon: 201-237 (47.8 - 56.4%) --...

Your team has to tread lightly when facing Mega Altaria. If he manages to set up a Dragon Dance, he can pretty much steamroll your team, having a guaranteed OHKO on 5 out of 6 of your pokemon. Even the one who might survive, Azumarill, has a chance of going down from one hit (and this doesn't...

Okay. So after a bunch of testing on Showdown tonight, I've landed on a team (albeit a bit different from the original, but at least I still have Goodra, Talonflame and Excadrill :D ) Tyranitar @ Leftovers Nature: Relaxed Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 248 HP, 252 Def, 8 SpD - Stealth Rock - Stone...

Kyurem-B would make my team pretty weak to Fairy, but Sylveon is a solid choice. It is still susceptible to Bisharp because it is slower, but it fits in well with my other teammates. This is pretty much a different team by now XD I can try testing this team out as well. I like the sound of it.

Getting rid of Excadrill means that I don't have a rapid spinner anymore, and I desperately need one :x I honestly don't think there is a good way of dealing with Kyurem-B other than hazards and revenge killing. The BoltBeam combo on his kit is really good, and the only way I could check him...

What about Mega-Gyarados/Rotom-W? The inherent grass weakness is handled by Sap Sipper Goodra (who handily deals with Ferrothorn) and Talonflame. With Levitate, Rotom-W isn't a bad check to Sand teams due to Excadrill mostly running Sand Rush and not Mold Breaker. Rotom-W is also a great counter...

I've always been a huge fan of Slowbro, but pairing him with Gyarados scares me a bit. Something like Kyurem-B with Fusion Bolt would have a field day with my team. What if I swapped out Mega-Gyarados/Ferrothorn for Mega-Altaria/Slowbro? The only thing I'd really lose is Spikes, and they have...

Chesnaught! How could I forget? He'd make a great substitute for Ferrothorn. The only thing I'm thinking about is how weak my team is to opposing banded Talonflame (not that Ferrothorn is much better). I have intimidate Gyarados, but: -1 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 4...

Hey everyone! First off, I appreciate the time you're taking to evaluate my team. I've been working on it for a while and actually made it in-game. Currently 8-2 on Pokemon Showdown with the team (but then again, I started at ~1250 rank, so it doesn't hold much merit). I really wanted to make a...
