How about a Vikavolt with HP Ice?

I'm trying to build a Mixed Attacker Mega-Lucario that can be freely switched in to a) any kind of Mimikyu and b) Alolan Muk and hard counter them. Here's what I have so far: Lucario @ Lucarionite - Bullet Punch (to break Mimikyu's disguise and make it think I'm physical, prompting it to...

So, would Aurora Veil Snow Warning Ninetales be used as a lead, or someone to switch in later?

Ok I think I found the best counter: Mega-Alakazam with Taunt. 252 SpA Alakazam-Mega Psychic vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 206-246 (67.7 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery Whereas Toxapex: 0 SpA Toxapex Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Alakazam: 55-66 (21.9 - 26.2%) -- 6.1% chance...

Wouldn't Toxapex just be able to PP stall it out though? Most Mega-Venu sets have 2 moves that are only 8 PP each.

Hmm ok. By the way I just wanted to point out that this is incorrect: 252 SpA Xurkitree Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 204-242 (67.1 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

So, what's the best counter to this 'mon? I assume Metagross?

Ok, sorry about that. I think I've learned what I need, though. Thanks a ton for all the advice, guys. It really helped a lot.

Ahh ok, that makes sense. I guess what I lose in volt switch and rapid spin (which I guess isn't a big loss since tenta has rs too) I make up for in viability?

Forretress may suck on his own, but the fact that I can get Rapid Spin and Spikes on the same guy, thus opening up an extra slot for more offensive dudes, seems like it might make up for it in my team's case? Maybe I could give him Custap+Explosion too, to give him some offensive presence...

You guys caught me - I'm a total sucker for trying to make unusual mons work on teams. I don't want to use anything I can't breed, since I'm making this team on a physical cartridge and I don't have the resources to get perfect IV legends (and I'm kinda neurotic about IVs). But I did some...

That's fair. I would like to post what I have so far, but this forum's rules say I should do that in Rate My Team. But the Rate My Team forum rules say I shouldn't post a team until it's been battle tested, and I'm planning on making this team on my physical cartridge so I'd like to develop it...

Thanks for the advice, you guys. littlelucario, you said entry hazards are useful, but I don't currently have any hazard setters on my team because my U-turn user also has Defog. Would it still be a good idea to replace my cleric with a hazard setter in spite of this, or would it be better to...

Does a VoltTurn core synergize well with status spreaders? I'm thinking of making a team with VoltTurn, 2 status inflicters, 1 setup sweeper, and a cleric.

Can you give me a list of the items on the checklist? I don't actually have ShoddyBattle...

Where can I find a list of the rules Smogon uses on its Shoddy Battle server for battling (e.g. Sleep Clause, etc.)?
