After being continually destroyed in OU and Monotype, i decided i'd try a new meta and LC was my first pick, my team got me all the way to 1238 ladder-points, at which point i crashed down to 1190, at first i thought this was due to using koffing as a wall, which didnt work, so i decided to switch to the fastest psychic pokemon in LC; Abra, this team has served me well, though im not sure what can be improved
Kung Fu Panda (Mienfoo) @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 5
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Fake Out
- Drain Punch
Here we have arguably the best sweeper in LC at the moment, mienfoo also happens to be my lead, i generally use fake out and U-turn, i sswitch into a poke w/ type advantage and let it unfold from there. The EVs give mienfoo the coveted 19speed which outspeedds quite alot of the meta, this, coupled w/ high jump kick allows it to sweep almost every pokemon. Drain punch is also there for STAB and when i feel like im going to miss HJK. I am using eviolite and not scarf as it is my lead and I want to fake out and U-turn.
blue (Chinchou) @ Berry Juice
Ability: Volt Absorb
Level: 5
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 76 HP / 220 Def / 152 SpA / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Volt Switch
- Heal Bell
- Thunder Wave
Here is chinchou, my favorite pokemon in the current meta, albeit very slow compared to the likes of ponyta and mienfoo it has average typing but access to some great moves. The berry juice is there so I can restore almost back to 100% hp if im hit by say, an EQ. Scald is there to sweep magby, chimchar and ponyta; the burn proc also helps vs mienfoo which is a physical attacker. I generally switch into this if any of my pokes are statused and I think I can tanka hit, ill heal bell to restore the status, and then thunder wave the opponent and spam scald or volt switch. I have been deating for awhile whether I should swap thunder wave for thunderbolt, opinions on this will be appreciated.
Porygon @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 236 HP / 196 Def / 76 SpD
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Tri Attack
- Shadow Ball
- Recover
Here we have porygon, my favorite tank in LC, I use download as the ability so my atk or spA is raised on switch in, the EV spread makes this pokemon more tanky and defensive. I use thunderwave to spam paralysis on their pokemon, it also allows me to move first if I need to use recover. Tri attack is the best move for Porygon and it 2HKOs numerous pokemon, the added chance at a burn para or frz is nice too. Shadow ball is there to KO abra before it hits me w/ HP fighting. Not sure if this is the best item for porygon though…
Blaze (Ponyta) @ Eviolite
Ability: Flame Body
Level: 5
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 76 Atk / 236 Def / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Morning Sun
- Toxic
- Will-O-Wisp
Here is ponyta, my fire type speedy sweeper, it has access to flare blitz & 19 speed, which is a deadly combo in the current meta, though it gets hit hard by scald I’ll try and use morning sun to avoid this. I use toxic if I think I can tanka few hits w/o the opponent switching, otherwise ill use will-o-wisp to burn and render a physical sweeper useless. The EV spread gives it 19speed and above average defense in the meta, and eviolite makes this even more potent.
Fletchling
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 5
EVs: 76 HP / 200 Atk / 12 Def / 40 SpA / 180 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Acrobatics
- Overheat
- U-turn
- Swords Dance
Fletching is my other lead if the team has something like abra, as I can use acrobatics to shred most opponents before I can take a hit, swords dance is there to buff my attack and make acrobatics even more deadly, I use overheat for pokemon which resist flying .. like ice types, it is also very powerful and has swept many teams, U-Turn is ther to create momentum incase my poke is in danger.

Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 36 HP / 220 SpA / 248 Spe
Timid Nature
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
Here we have the final member of the team, it also happens to be my spinner, it is extremely fast (19speed) and can kill most things with thunderbolt and surf, I had hydro pump on this pokemon for awhile, but I lost countless battles due to the inaccuracy, so I caved in and started using surf instead, works just as well. Thunderbolt is there to deal w/ other water types and hit neutral on bulbasaur and other grass types, recover is self explanatory and I generally use it if im under 45% hp.
