Hey guys this is my first RMT, relatively new to this gen, with all the mega stones and fairies. Anyway I start playing and I noticed the amount of pokemon that depended on abilities like sturdy, storm drain, multiscale, levitate etc. So after being wrecked by another Dragonite I decided to make a team around Mega-Gyarados.
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake
Say hello to the nemesis of Dragonites, Rotom's, Gengar etc. People with Talonflame see Ferrothorn in the team preview and finds themselves with a gyarados instead, basically then I get to set up with DD while they attack me with U-turn (thinking I'm going to Mega). Moxie is very helpful when I don't need Mold Breaker as Gyarados already has decent Atk. People who are heedless of mold breaker find themselves in a sticky situation when I OHKO them with Ice Fang or EQ. In fact I have a few examples below:

Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252Spd
-Volt Switch
-Focus Blast
-Grass Knot
-Hidden Power [Ice]
Thundurus-T is my revenge killer and is also here to sponge up electric type attacks aimed at mega-g. It's also a good switch in to flying types, because when they switch out into a ground type mon like Garchomp or Gliscor gets hit with a HP ice (Even if they don't switch out it's still a super effective move). However i find focus blast a pretty undependable move as it misses a LOT.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
-Protect
-Leech Seed
-Stealth Rock
-Gyro Ball
Good Old Ferrothorn armed with Rocky Helmet and Barbs. People tend to use a lot of priority moves agaisn't my Mega-G when it's +2 in speed and at red health. Then I switch into my Ferro and watch them take 30% health. It's also a good check against Rapid Spin Starmie, since if they stay in after spinning, i can just set it up again, and watch them die before they can spin it away. Protect/Leech to stall it out. And the EV's and nature allow it to tank most physical fire type moves making it a great physical wall. It's also a good check against Azumarill, although i might lose the rocky helmet along the way.
Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SAtk / 216 Spd
Modest Nature
-Draco Meteor
-Surf
-Psychock
-Defog
Latias is a relatively weak link in this group. It's main reason here is to defog away stick webs and screens, since stealth and spikes aren't much of a problem, it's draco meteor hit's hard and psychock for AV conks, and surf is generally pretty good, but it hasn't been contributing too much to my team, but i just can't seem to find a good replacement.
Terrakion @ Choice Band
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-X-Scissor
-Earthquake
Terrakion here is my second physical sweeper since I already have a Scarf user I decide to add a Band on him instead. CC hits hard along with EQ, stone edge and X-scissor provides great coverage. The only problem is that if I can't OHKO I generally get killed in return. I was thinking of Life Orb over Band but so far i don't have a big reason to.
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
-Wish
-Heal Bell
Thunder Wave
-Seismic Toss
Chansey, my wish-bomber and healer. I ran tWave over Toxic because i want a baton wish sort of thing, however this leaves me with no retaliation agaisn't duskclops, but since there aren't that common anyway i kept it, seismic toss is pretty standard and chansey provides the much need healing agasint sable eyes etc. Chansey has brought alot of near-dead 'mons back to full with this set so I'm pretty happy about it.
I know that this team isn't prefect, and I do have some trouble with my ferro since it ends up being set up fodder, scolipede are annoying since i don't have a tauter maybe mandibuzz > latias, and mega hera is wrecking my team too. So any comments rate or hate are much appreciated
(btw in the replay's i'm iGreenhorn since Greenhorn was already taken :( )
