Mega-Mance
Salamence-Mega @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 80 HP / 172 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe
Mild Nature
- Protect
- Roost
- Double-Edge
- Hyper Voice
Salamance is where i started with the team with Mega-Mance mainly because of personal preference. From the moment i saw him back when gen 3 came out i loved him (not as much as i love my gengar, but i still really like him). Now i didn't just pick him because of personal preference though, he is defiantly a major offensive threat, with Aerialite Double-Edge, packs a massive punch, and Hyper Voice isnt something that should be messed with, roost is there to keep the fight going, protect is there as a filler move; any alternative moves there are greatly appreciated. i'm not sure how optimal the EV's are, so if there is a more efficient spread id appreciate the feedback.
Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Wide Guard
- King's Shield
- Gyro Ball
- Pursuit
Aegislash is there as a solid teammate with Mega-Mance. wide guard is there to help protect him from Origin Pulse , rock slide, and icy wind, the latter of which cripples mega-mance. im sure there are more moves out there but off the top of my head those are the moves that come to mind. King's Shield is there because stance change, Gyro ball kills fairies, and i opted for the physical variant to capitalize on his slow speed. I opted for Pursuit over Shadow sneak since i was running Yveltal and i wanted to get the most out of the dark aura, just looking to capitalize on any synergies i can find. as before any more optimal ev spreads are appreciated.
Yveltal @ Black Glasses
Ability: Dark Aura
Level: 50
EVs: 148 HP / 252 SpA / 108 Spe
Rash Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Oblivion Wing
- Heat Wave
- Tailwind
Yveltal is there to check any rogue psychic types running around, plus Dark pulse can take down a weakened Pdon, which is a plus. Dark pulse is special and STAB, something to note about the set im opting for a full special set, mainly because dark pulse can cover most threats reliably, OHKOing several builds of Pdon without damage, 2HKO's others after a little damage, it also OHKO's Mega Ray, and takes a sizable chunk out of defensive Poger. O-wing is recovery on a stick, and heat wave is there for AOE fire coverage for opposing amoonguss, ferrothorn, breloom, Kyu-white, etc. Tailwind is there to help Mega-Mance and Poger sweep effectively, although i am not opposed to potentially changing this move or heat wave out with anything more efficient. as with the prior two mon i'm not certain how optimal this ev spread is and feedback there would be appreciated
Kyogre-Primal @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
Level: 50
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
- Origin Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
- Calm Mind
I'm running Poger for weather support, and because in the Pdon vs Poger matchup, i personally like oger more. Origin Pulse under rain kills, thats the best way i can put it. Ice beam is for the ever present dragons and Poger for those times when rain isn't on our side. Im running beam over blizzard due to the fact that its more reliable and still deals enough damage for me to not mind the drop too much. Thunder kills suicune and other Pogers running around, and calm mind for free setups. I haven't had too many opportunities to CM so if theres a more optimal move or EV spread that would be great.
Mawile-Mega @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 244 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Play Rough
- Baton Pass
Mawile is my alternative Mega due to its typing mainly. Iron head and play rough are great coverage options for the ever present dragons and Xern. Sucker punch is a move i'm on the fence about, mainly because with all the protect moves running around i'm just not convinced on priority's viability. Baton pass is used seeing how this build is really slow and can take a hit, baton pass will let me switch in essentially on the end of the turn so whatever mon i send in doesn't take too much (if any) damage. so an alternative to sucker punch and as always any more optimized EV spreads are welcome
Amoonguss @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Rage Powder
- Spore
- Protect
- Giga Drain
Amoonguss is a mon im not sure about yet, and have been considering replacing but im not sure who i would want to run over him yet. Rage powder is for Re-direction, spore makes stuff fall asleep, protect because protect and Giga drain for Special STAB. rocky helmet is there to punish Mega-Kahn and any other physical attacker who wants to hit him. any suggestions as to a replacement or modified build would be very much appreciated here. ive thought about maybe lando-t or thunderus-i but again, im on the fence on both.
i appreciate any and all advice you guys can offer, thanks in advance Boxcar out-
