This is a 1v1 team I made following the sort of recent Tapu Koko ban. I used to have a Scarf Excadrill but I decided it was underpeforming far too much so I swapes it with Tapu Lele. Here is the team:
Im Basically Koko (Tapu Lele) @ Psychium Z
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 136 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD / 112 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
Alive Cutlery (Kartana) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
Shiny: Yes
Happiness: max ( i did have frustation but i swapped it )
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Night Slash
- Sacred Sword
- Smart Strike
My arms?! (Gyarados-Mega) @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
So, first up we have Tapu Lele. When I was picking this team I noticed I had a major weakness to Loppuny-Mega, so I got Tapu Lele. It can kill all sets ( that are viable in 1v1 ) and dosent need to use Z move, it can 1 shot most sets with Dazzling Gleam. I run Thunderbolt for a bit of coverage that normally 2OHKO's most without resistance to Thunderbolt. Its spe investments mean it can outspeed non scarf Magnezone, which can OHKO turn 1 if I wasnt spe invested, I would also get up my terrain after most other Tapu's that are more Offensive then Lele.
Gyarados-Mega is the main poke I built this team around. It is the standard DD Set. I feel like EQ helps it alot with dealing with things. It can live some Electric STAB and Nearly OHKO Mega Pinsir, ( gets around 97% with DD) But, depending on how I play and the set on Mega Pinsir, I may win the matchup. It deals the weaknesses to Kartana as a main weakness being (obviously) Fire. Crunch helps to round off the coverage and get a nice stab, though not as powerful as Waterfall. I did try Aqua Tail but I swapped it for Waterfall later, I feel like the Flinch is better the better chance for Crit, though, I'm not entirely conviced Waterfall is the best option.
Kartana is a Scarfed set. With main STAB in two typings it can deal with things like Swampert Mega and sometimes Electric Types, though and STAB Gigavolt Havoc will OHKO. Overall, I feel like the team fits, but I am not too sure on Kartana. I would like some suggestions and constructive critisim is always welcome by me.
