Toxicroak (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 SDef / 252 Atk
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
- Poison Jab
- Drain Punch
I centered this team around Toxicroak for his coverage of Fairy, Ground, Steel, Grass - access to substitute and swords dance and a good 295 speed stat. Dry skin also helps come into play when Volcarona/Excadrill are being threated with a Surf/Scald for a free substitute on choiced pokemon. I have run Adamant and Jolly, but I prefer Jolly so that I only have to get one speed boost from Scolipede, a core member of the team.
Cloyster (M) @ King's Rock
Ability: Skill Link
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Ice Shard
Cloyster doing what Cloyster does, with a 50% chance to flinch with King's Rock and being able to break through substitute. Cloyster is useful for Dragons and Talonflame. I feel like Azumarill would be a decent switch with this Cloyster for Fairy and Water coverage with a wallop. On top of being able to baton pass to Azumarill, it's a serious threat. But so is non shell-smashed Cloyster with such a high defense stat.
Espeon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 Def / 96 HP / 160 Spd
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Wish
- Baton Pass
- Psychic
Espon doing what espeon does. Preventing Hazards, Status, Baton Passing Calm Mind to mon's who would other wise be killed by their horrific sp. def stat along with Wish support. This spot used to be for Gardevoir but sadly served as little purpose as any other wish supporter. I chose Espeon so I would be able to ensure a 'technical' quiver dance to volcarona (1 speed from scolipede and 1 calm mind from espeon) with a wish so if there are rocks, Bulky Volcarona enters the battlefield and hopefully survives to get the wish, go for a roost and set up a sweep.
Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
with a staggering 405 attack stat with an Adamant nature, I was being out sped by Talonflame which could only threaten me with Flare Blitz, but still kill me. So I switched to a Jolly Nature since Excadrill has access to Swords Dance. Mold Breaker is fantastic for Gengar, Rotom (except fan variant ), surviving Mega Khan and retaliating with an Earthquake. Rock Slide is great coverage for clearing many threats such as Charizard and Volcarona.
Scolipede @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Baton Pass
- Rock Slide
- Spikes
The Baton passing king, with access to spikes ( though I want stealth rock :c ) and Rock Slide for flinch hacks on Talonflame, Lizardon, etc. I prefer to keep my focus sash in tact first turn but if the enemy lead is Talonflame, it's a sacrifice I have to make and I might be able to pass a wish with Espeon later. Scolipede is a core member of this team
Volcarona @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 64 Spd / 192 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Roost
Ladies and gents, Bulkyrona is here and it's surviving ALL the hits, dealing ALL the damage and Quiver Dancing in your FACE. This is my personal check to Aegislash as an un buffed Sacred Sword does 20% at LEAST. With access to Fiery Dance the potential for sweeping is increased even more. Flame Body hacks happen for me all the time and also help set up even more on things like Scizor.
