Hi
Hello users! I decided to put up an RMT because it's been 9 months since my last and I've been rather inactive lately (especially on forums). As some of you know, I took a short break from this game after getting salty about being haxed out of every damn tour I joined. So, to mark my return I took an old team of mine and went on a ladder run of 50 games (sample size of my previous RMT) which ended up rather successful. I also used it in a couple of room-tours where it won 2/2. I'm kind of bored of this team now and there are some small weaknesses which I need feedback on so drop a rate!
At A Glance (that colour scheme though)
Concept
The idea behind the team was pretty simple, it focussed on the notorious TrapTurn core formed by Mega Gengar and Yveltal. Offensive Yveltal is a Pokemon which most teams lack a good switch-in for, thus allowing it to destroy balanced or stall builds, and put a decent amount of work in against HO. Fairies - the main thing stopping Yveltal having a field day are trapped and eliminated by Mega Gengar. I wanted to use these Pokemon as they are a bit anti-meta right now. Mega Gengar has dropped significantly in usage and thus a lot more teams are weak to it, and Yveltal in general is rare these days, the few times it's seen it is mostly running the defensive set, so its offensive set is lesser prepared for.
Offense is my favourite playstyle so from there I built the team somewhat formulaically - an SR lead to pressure the many switches the threat of Mega Gengar causes, a near-mandatory Primal Groudon as a check to like half the meta, an Ekiller as a soft check to nearly everything, and a GeoXern for further pressure and to abuse Mega Gengar being able to remove its checks. HO struggles against stall due to ORAS's Magic Bouncers and a bad match-up in general, but the inclusion of Mega Gengar - a Pokemon which thrashes stall immensely improved the match up. To compensate for being weaker to HO, I made some of the sets on this team specifically to improve this match up.
In Depth: Teambuilding Process + Sets
Deoxys-Speed @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Skill Swap
- Magic Coat
Deoxys-Speed's role on this team is simple - act as the suicide lead. It gets up rocks to help with KOs and to pressure the many switches a core like Mega Gengar and Yveltal forces. I gave it a Rocky Helmet because this Deo-S is bulky enough to live most hits so Focus Sash will rarely ever come into play. Furthermore, a Rocky Helmet allows me to anti-lead Deo-A. This slightly improves the match-up against other HO teams that Deo-A finds itself on. Rocky Helmet is also great to get off a total of 33% damage to Ekillers trying to anti-lead, and it also chips away at Fire Punch Primal Groudon to help put it in range of Xerneas after another round of SR. Lastly, Rocky Helmet destroys Mega Kangaskhan, always taking off 50% of its health before going down. There are a lot more niche uses it has but it'll take too much space to write them all.
The EVs allow it to outspeed Deo-A, while the HP and Defense lets it live any hit from Primal Groudon (bar special Fire Blast / Overheat), so I'm safe to Taunt P-Don leads to prevent their rocks going up. Furthermore, these EVs give me extra insurance against Ekiller which prevents the 5050s.
252 Atk Life Orb Arceus Extreme Speed vs. 252 HP / 240 Def Deoxys-S: 138-164 (45.3 - 53.9%) -- 39.8% chance to 2HKO
The chance to 2HKO is low so I'm safer to Taunt and then get up rocks instead of not Taunting and risking it Swords Dancing. Note this is an LO Ekiller so Lum and Silk Scarf are just easier.
As for the moves, I dropped Spikes in order to include both Skill Swap and Magic Coat. Skill Swap is basically mandatory on Deo-S in this meta where Mega Sableye and Mega Diancie exist. Magic Coat was appreciated on this team to help the match up against sample HO, which this team otherwise has a rather hard match-up against. Sample HO is also popular in both tours and ladder so this was a nice inclusion to help this match up. Of course, Magic Coat also has its other uses such as preventing other suicude leads getting their hazards up. Stealth Rock and Taunt are mandatory for obvious reasons.
Yveltal @ Life Orb
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 24 HP / 8 Atk / 248 SpA / 228 Spe
Rash Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Oblivion Wing
- Sucker Punch
- U-turn
Yveltal is obviously here because the team is built around it. It is the primary wallbreaker, the sheer power and typing behind its STABs lets it punch big holes which allow others to clean up. It also functions as an Arceus-Ghost and Gira-O counter, while also checking other threats such as Mewtwo, Deo-A, and soft checking Darkrai as non-STAB Sludge Bomb is rather weak.
Life Orb was the obvious choice of item to maximise power - Oblivion Wing for example 2HKOs Xerneas. As for the EVs, 24 HP gives it a Life Orb number, 8 Atk puts it at 300 for personal OCD reasons, 228 Speed reaches 291 which creeps standard Lugia and apparently every support Arceus I've run into (seriously guys run more Speed on your Arceus) and the rest is dumped into SpA as it uses special attacks the most. The moves are standard - Dark Pulse and Oblivion Wing are the best and mandatory STABs, Sucker Punch for very much appreciated priority especially for HO, and U-Turn because it's fantastic with Mega Gengar in the back. U-Turn also gets off a good amount of damage on Tyranitar which is huge to help eliminate it, as it is a threat to the TrapTurn core. I chose a Rash nature (-SpDef) to better take on Arceus-Ghost and Gira-O.
Gengar-Mega @ Gengarite
Ability: Shadow Tag
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Wave
- Shadow Ball
- Taunt
- Destiny Bond / Protect
Mega Gengar is the bread and butter partner for Yveltal, providing good synergy and of course removing Fairies like Xerneas and Clefable. When mega evolved, it most notably can function as a check to Darkrai, Shaymin-Sky, Ekiller and Arceus formes in general. Mega Gengar is often the MVP as thanks to the ridiculously good Shadow Tag, it can remove what it wants. Teams that rely on Klefki to check Xerneas for example are easily beaten once Gengar removes Klefki, and so on for numerous other Pokemon. Removing Waterceus for RPolish 3 Atks P-Don to clean up is another example. However I noted the Klefki example in particular because it works exceedingly well. Klefki is often switched in to Yveltal, so Yveltal U-Turns and Gengar removes it. Now Xerneas wins.
The EVs and item need no explaining. As for the moves, Sludge Wave is its strongest STAB and of course removes Fairies. I chose it over Sludge Bomb because the extra 5 BP can actually be very clutch, especially when revenging Darkrai. Some Xerneas even live Sludge Bomb too so Wave was just safer. Shadow Ball was chosen over Focus Blast for quite a few reasons; I already have U-Turn on Yveltal to help with Tyranitar, I have trash luck so I'll miss Focus Blast in most situations anyway, Shadow Ball is significantly better at removing Klefki and damaging Primal Groudon, and it also hits the Latis and Lugia. Taunt is Taunt, letting it remove support Arceus easily and giving hell to any other defensive Pokemon - examples being preventing Lugia from Whirlwinding and beating the blobs. The last moveslot is slashed because I often switched between the two. I rarely ever found myself using Destiny Bond, so I often tried out Protect which signficantly helps in checking Darkrai and Ekiller, the former who is a massive threat otherwise.
Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb
Ability: Desolate Land
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 152 HP / 236 Atk / 48 SpD / 72 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Precipice Blades
- Stone Edge
- Dragon Claw
- Rock Polish
The core of Mega Gengar and Yveltal is weak to Primal Kyogre and Tyranitar. So, shockingly, Primal-Groudon was a good addition to the team in order to check those and more such as Xerneas, Mega Salamence, Ho-oh and all the other Pokemon (cba to list them all, ya'll already know). As this is HO I didn't mind the fact that it only soft-checked Mega Mence and Ho-oh.
The EVs are somewhat a personal of mine, as they accomplish many things and I haven't seen this spread used before. 152 HP lets it live +1 Double Edge from 252+ Atk Mega Mence after Stealth Rock (after coming in for the first time so 94%), while the SpDef lets it live +2 HP Ground / Focus Blast from Xerneas at the same range. The Speed is simply how much I creeped while the Atk puts it at a nice 500. I opted for the Rock Polish 3 Atks set as it functioned better against HO (improving the match-up), and the presence of Mega Gengar compensated for foregoing SD, as Mega Gengar can remove the things that check a Swords Dance-less Primal Groudon. PBlades and Edge are mandatory while Dragon Claw was chosen to help with Gira-O and the Latis, who are otherwise quite threatening to this team. It's also nice to have a reliable move to pick off weakened Pokemon.
I was comfortable EVing for the 94% (rocks) benchmark as opposed to 88% since on a team like this where Deo-S is the dedicated lead, any time P-Don finds itself in, it will have taken damage anyway.
Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 88 HP / 108 Def / 252 SpA / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
- Moonblast
- Geomancy
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Ground]
I had a glaring weakness to Yveltal, specifically the defensive set. The tier's premier Fairy was chosen to alleviate this, and to simply abuse how good the combination of Mega Gengar + broken sweeper is. Xerneas was also added to function as an Ekiller check and Mega Salamence running Return / Frustration over Double Edge. Lastly, Xerneas helped with the Latis. There wasn't really any other big reason to include this mon, but it goes a long way in pressuring fatter teams to play how I want them to, and is simply a fantastic win condition, especially when Mega Gengar removes its check.
EVs: 88 HP lets it takes two LO Obv Wings from Naive / Hasty Yveltal, 108 Defense lets it tank +2 Ekiller after rocks, and tank +1 Return / Frustration Salamence. Max SpA for obvious reasons with the rest in Speed.
Thunder was chosen as coverage to help with Primal Kyogre and Ho-oh, who can be quite threatening otherwise, and HP Ground is a safe way to hit Primal Groudon a lot harder than Moonblast, letting it pick off weakened ones a lot easier. It also hits Klefki and Aegislash slightly harder. With my terrible luck I'm paranoid of running Focus Blast so I chose HP Ground instead, despite Focus Blast giving better coverage. Focus Blast's targets are handled well enough by this team anyway.
Arceus @ Life Orb
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 192 HP / 252 Atk / 64 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Last but most certainly not least is E-Killer, you can't go wrong including this mon on HO. E-Killer gave me a blanket check to pretty much everything thanks to its powerful Extremespeed, great bulk and neutral typing. On this team, it was another way of picking off GeoXern to take pressure of Primal-Groudon, and also helped revenging Darkrai. Mega Salamence was another mon E-Killer could pick off, as everythin else on my team put it in range.
I opted for the bulky set, just for extra insurance and because I just find it to be better in this meta. E-Killer checks a lot on this team so giving it extra bulk didn't hurt. 192 HP gives it a Life Orb number, max Atk with an Adamant nature makes it actually pretty strong (it's known for being weak) and the Speed creeps Lugia and other Arceus formes. Everyone EVs for a Jolly Life Orb Ekiller, which is why Adamant LO can be so good, KOing Xerneas after rocks for example and even other zero bulk Ekiller (it's a chance iirc). Another reason I chose Adamant was to better pick off Xerneas and Darkrai.
I opted for the simple SD +3 Atks because I didn't really need Refresh for Arceus-Ghost for example as I had Yveltal. Stone Edge helps with the Mence and Ho-oh weakness, and hits Yveltal and Lugia a lot harder than Shadow Claw.
And that's the team! The team has a decent or good match up against every playstyle. Stall is heavily compensated for with Mega Gengar and the power of offensive Yveltal, as is balance. HO is compensated for with anti sets (Deo-S) and mons that are always good against it such as RPolish Don, bulky GeoXern and a bulky E-Killer.

PROOF
And yes I will go for #1, just not now since I planned on a sample size of 50. Also it takes like 5 years to find one game when you're top 10 so I couldn't be bothered anymore.
IMPORTABLE
THREATS
- If Gengar lacks Protect and hasn't evolved, this mon can be annoying to deal with. Otherwise I have E-Killer which does like 75 with Extremespeed but that's not enough before it gets some kills obvs. Sash variants are harder to deal with due to lack of LO recoil to put it in range. A bit tricky to play around, but if you opt for Protect Gengar it's a lot easier to deal with since you only have to sack one mon.
- If it comes in on Ekiller or P-Don and Intimidates, it gets basically a free set-up so I have to sack a mon or two to revenge it. Usually its soft checking it with P-Don. If it has already mega evolved it's not really a threat as it lacks Intimidate so it can't set up freely.
These are the most notable threats I've had to deal with, 2 of my losses were to one of them each. If I'm missing any big threats let me know.
E: SD Arc-Ground can be threatening as I lack actual checks to it. It doesn't comfortably set up on anything though and if it gets +2 I have bulky E-Killer to pick it off. Late game at +2 though is threatening as my mons will likely be weakened.

THREATS
These are the most notable threats I've had to deal with, 2 of my losses were to one of them each. If I'm missing any big threats let me know.
E: SD Arc-Ground can be threatening as I lack actual checks to it. It doesn't comfortably set up on anything though and if it gets +2 I have bulky E-Killer to pick it off. Late game at +2 though is threatening as my mons will likely be weakened.
