Hello friends! I've been in the metagame for a while, but this is the first team that I loved making and using. So if you don't mind, may you help me?
Mega-Ampharos @ Ampharosite
Trait: Static/ Mold Breaker
EVs: 132 HP, 252 SAtk, 124 Spd
Modest Nature
~Thunderbolt
~Dragon Pulse
~Focus Blast
~Volt Switch
Mega-Ampharos' main purpose is to deal as much damage as possible. 132 HP EVs for just some added bulk. 252 SAtk EVs to utilize that amazing base stat. 124 Spd EVs is just to be able to outspeed base 60s such as Swampert. Thunderbolt is Ampharos' strongest STAB. Dragon Pulse is its secondary STAB which can 2HKO physically defensive Swampert after rocks, so it's nice to catch it on the switch (min damage is 49.6% according to damagecalc). Focus Blast is for coverage against Steel, Dark, Rock, and Normal types. Volt Switch is to get out of situations you don't want to be in.
Chestnaught Leftovers
Trait: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 Def
Impish Nature
~Hammer Arm
~Leech Seed
~Spikes
~Spiky Shield
Chestnaught's main purpose is to be my main physical tank and, if possible, to set up hazards. 252 HP and 252 Def EVs is just for the bulk. Hammer Arm is it's STAB and is just there to avoid Sap Sipper users and other Grass types. Leech Seed is to stall out other tanks. Spikes are there to set them up. Spiky Shield can be used to stall out pokes and to scout moves.
Empoleon Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP, 4 SAtk, 252 SDef
Calm Nature
~Scald
~Stealth Rock
~Defog
~Roar
Empoleon's main purpose is to be my specially defensive tank. 252 HP and 252 SDef EVs is for the bulk. Scald is it's STAB and to be able to burn foes. Stealth Rock is just the standard hazard. Defog is to put away hazards. Roar is to phaze set up sweepers such as "Crocune."
Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP, 252 SAtk, 252 Spd
Timid Nature
~Draco Meteor
~Dark Pulse
~Fire Blast
~U-Turn
Hydreigon's main purpose is to be a fast glass cannon because this team desperately needs some speed. 252 SAtk EVs is to be able to put off large damage with any move. 252 Spd EVs is to be able to speed tie other Scarfed Hydreigons. Draco Meteor is its strongest STAB and is just used as the nuke at Nagasaki (you drop one off and get the hell out of there). Dark Pulse is its secondary STAB. Fire Blast is for pesky Steel types and for Roserade (it is a problem to this team. I'll explain in my conclusion). U-turn is just there to pivot switch.
Lucario @ Focus Sash
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
~Close Combat
~Extreme Speed
~Ice Punch
~Swords Dance
Lucario's main purpose is to be my main physical attacker and possible late game setup sweeper. 252 Atk EVs is just for the power. 252 Spd is to be able to speed tie other max speed Jolly nature Lucario. Close Combat is its main STAB. Extreme Speed is to out-prioritise +1 attacks and to finish off weakened pokes. Ice Punch is just for coverage (Gliscor is not in the tier, so it's for Gligar? lol) Swords Dance is to set up on tanks that can't do anything such as Blissey.
Slowbro @ Assault Vest
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 SAtk
Modest Nature
~Scald
~Psyshock
~Fire Blast
~Ice Beam
Slowbro's main purpose is to be a mixed tank and to be able to stop Nasty Plot Infernape. 252 HP for needed bulk when dealing with Infernape. 252 SAtk is just to be able to deal off needed damage to tanks and threats. Scald is its main STAB move as you can burn opponents. Psyshock is to be able to deal damage on both sides of the spectrum. Fire Blast is for Steel and Grass types (really helps getting rid of Forretress). Ice Beam is for the Dragons you don't like and further coverage for Grass types (specifically Roserade).
Conclusion: Now I am going to talk about how this team is used and the biggest threats. Mega-Ampharos and Hydreigon provide the VoltTurn combo to constantly pressure the opponent. Chesnaught and Empoleon stack up hazards while tanking both kinds of attackers. Chesnaught is the best check to a huge threat named Meinshao who can destroy this team if Chestnaught wasn't here. Empoleon though not being the best choice to use against a Nidoking, it is the only choice I got for it (aside from Slowbro) that can tank a hit relatively well and being able to use that Torrent-boost Scald to OHKO it. Empoleon's defog is crucial to save Lucario's Sash as it can survive a super effective hit from say Victini, Arcanine, Entei, or Darmanitan then use Close Combat and E Speed (or in Victini's case, two E Speeds) to finish them off (after setting up of course, and if you get the chance to before they come in). Ampharos' Static also helps in paralyzing Victini.
The biggest threats are: NP Infernape, Nidoking, Roserade, Meinshao. Strong physical Fire types, and Fairy Types. There are only limited ways to handle these threats NP Infernape can only be stopped by Slowbro, Hydreigon, or Lucario (depending if you need sash). With Slowbro, you have to switch in on the NP, survive the Grass Knot and OHKO it with Scald. With Hydreigon, you have to fire off a Draco to OHKO it. With Lucario, you need the sash to CC it and then E Speed to finish it off. This is why Empoleon's defog is crucial. For Nidoking, my best bet is Empoleon. It can survive one Earth Power and OHKO it with Torrent-boosted Scald. Hydreigon can 2HKO it with Dark Pulse and possibly OHKO it with Draco, but we can't risk losing it. Roserade is a huge threat to my team. Reason being, a lot of my pokes get hurt big time by it. Chestnaught walls it, but can't do nothing in return. So the only choice is Hydreigon with the Fire Blast to OHKO it without having to waste Lucario's Sash. Meinshao also stomps on this team, but Chesnaught stops it. Strong Physical Fire types wreck everyone in my team, except Slowbro and +2 Lucario with sash in place. Fairies destroy my team as well. Only good switch to them is Empoleon and Slowbro to burn them with Scald and to stall them out.
Well that is all I could find out about my team while I was playing with it. Side note: I have yet to lose with it, so if you guys could find any more flaws with it or find better pokemon to substitute my current ones, I thank you for helping me out.
