Other Metagames [BH] Mono-Starter (Peaked not very high)

[Tøp Tier]

As part of a very important scientific experiment, I'm working to build the optimal BH team of Gen 1 and Gen 2 starters. So far the results are about what you'd expect. I think I hit just above 1400 once. Set suggestions appreciated. "Use better Pokemon" suggestions will land you on my "people who clearly lack appreciation for the importance of scientific advancements" list. Thank you in advance for your r8s :)

TITLE TEXT
​

Blaziken-Mega @ Focus Sash
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- V-create
- Close Combat
- Spectral Thief
- Copycat

Blaziken is kind of my only anti-setup. Sash Spectral Thief helps against most things (once), Close Combat hits Normal-types I can't Spectral Thief. Copycat is cool for getting the jump on other Sash mons, has a general surprise factor, and occasionally lets me pull off V-Create/Close Combat mini-sweeps without worrying about Speed drops.

Swampert-Mega @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Anchor Shot
- Toxic
- Electrify
- Worry Seed/Soak

This set can trap things and Toxic them and then use Electrify to not be damaged by them. Against Choice users, it can just trap and PP stall them. Cool stuff. Worry Seed lets it beat PH, Soak lets it beat Steel- and Poison-types. Improofed by Blastoise, and Venusaur if its not Soak.

Sceptile-Mega @ Draco Plate/Icicle Plate
Ability: Teravolt
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Spore
- Strength Sap
- Judgment
- U-turn

Teravolt Spore Mega-Sceptile is pretty nice. It outspeeds unboosted MMY and gives me a chance against it. Judgement lets it not worry about Imposters and surprise some Gengars. Draco Plate guarantees the 2HKO on Giratina, but Icicle Plate gets the OHKO on MRay. Strength Sap is nice non-Magic-Bouncable Sustain. U-turn lets it be a fast pivot, and does some nice super-effective damage to MMY. Improofed by Venusaur.

Charizard-Mega-X @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Sacred Fire
- Dragon Tail
- Sunsteel Strike/Bolt Strike
- Belly Drum

Standard Belly Drum Unburden, its suprisingly effective. Since it struggles to kill an Imposter even at +6, I gave it moves that it resists plus Dragon Tail to phase out Imposters. Sunsteel hits Shed and OHKOs Mega-Diancie (it lives a Pixilate E-Speed from 75%), Bolt Strike hits Water types. Its coverage isn't ideal, but it's got the power behind it to smash holes through a lot of defensive cores.

Blastoise-Mega @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 SpA
- Defog
- Heal Bell
- Recover
- Parting Shot

I felt like I needed Magic Bounce on something. It Heal Bells and Defogs, can pivot and phase out other Magic Bouncers with Parting Shot. It seems like maybe I should use Venusaur in this role to have my Defogger be immune to T-Spikes, but this is what I've got. It keeps away status and hazards well enough, but honestly I find myself just sacking it against a lot of teams that don't have hazards.

Venusaur-Mega @ Black Sludge
Ability: Multiscale
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Infestation

This is a fun trapping set. It does its best to live a hit with Multiscale, then sleeps an opponent, sets up Substitute, and clicks Infestation and Leech Seed to wear down its opponent. Its typing is nice for Spore/Toxic immunity. Also, sometimes against faster opponents, its good to click Spore/Substitute on turns when you already have a Sub up or an opponent asleep in anticipation of them breaking your Sub or waking up. Improofed by Blastoise.

Threats:

- APS: My only real answer relies on a sash so it's only got one use. Also Dark-types/Dazzling are especially bad because without anything really bulky, I haven't figured out a better defensive check for much than Prankster.

- Blaziken: I don't really have an Improof for Blaziken.

- Everything: It's an all starters team. I have no resists to Flying/Psychic/Dragon/Ghost/Dark/Normal. I do what I can.
