Banned deucer.
Hello everyone, I have decided to make a team based on Mega Slowbro. Mega Slowbro is such a good setup sweeper. I have never used Mega Slowbro before and would appreciate suggestions.
Changes in Bold

Mega Slowbro
Slowbronite, Regenerator
248 HP, 80 Def, 180 SpDef
Bold Nature
-Calm Mind
-Psyshock
-Scald
-Slack Off

This is the Smogon recommended EV spread for mega bro. I try to keep him from mega evolving as long as possible to keep regenerator into play. Once Bro starts seting up, his defenses are much too high for many teams to break. Scald is very good STAB with a nice burn chance. I originally had flamethrower but due to Magnezone for steel types, I chose psyshock. Slack off is to keep it healed up. After it megas, it can't be hit by a critical hit so it can be unstoppable in the right conditions.

Chesnauht
Leftovers, Bulletproof
Impish Nature
252HP, 252Def, 4 Atk
-Leech Seed
-Drain Punch
-Spikes
-Spikey Shield

Originally Gliscor, I decided to switch it to chesnaught in fear of a mega gyarados sweep. This is also a solid switch into bisharp. The ev spread and nature maxes out defense. Leech seed and leftovers gets you very fast recovery. With Spikey shield, this can wear down physical attackers very fast. Spikes is always good to have. This has been great in my defensive "hazard core".

Chansey
Eviolite, Natural Cure
Bold Nature
4Hp, 252 Def, 252 SpD
-Toxic
-Stealth Rock
-Wish
-Protect

Originally Clefable, but my team lost to volcarona from turn 1. I went with chansy as it is extremely bulky and is a good wish passer. With its immense health, Wish can bring life back into a dying team. Toxic is great to put a timer on threats. Stealth Rock is to finish off my defensive "hazard core" with Rocks and spikes. Protect is to let them take more damage with poison and get a guaranteed wish.


Couldn't upload Magnezone picture for some reason:D

Magnezone
Choice Scarf, Magnet Pull
Timid Nature
252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 SpD
-Volt Switch
-Thunderbolt
-Flash Cannon
-Hidden Power Fire

Magnezone was brought for two reasons, to deal with steel types and ice types. Thanks to magnet pull, this gets free ko's on Ferro and Skarm and Scizor. This also revenge kills bisharp(with no low kick). Volt switch is great momentum. Thunderbolt is powerful STAB. Flash Cannon is powerful STAB. Hidden Power Fire is for Ferro and scizor

Tornadus-T
Assault Vest, Regenerator
252 Spe, 96 SpA, 160 HP
Hasty Nature
-Hurricane
-U-Turn
-Heat Wave
-Knock Off

So far, this is a fairly bulky team, so I wanted a fast, bulky mon. Tornadus was perfect. This thing is extremely versatile. Hurricane is powerful STAB, if it doesn't miss. U turn and regenerator is what makes this thing my personal favorite competitive mon. Heat Wave is there only for Ferro. Knock off is very useful in many situations. (Chansey, Scarfers, etc.)
Thanks Perenial for the EV spread.

Serperior
Life Orb, Contrary
252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 SpD
Timid Nature
-Leaf Storm
-Dragon Pulse
-Hidden Power Fire
-Taunt/Glare

Serperior is here for one reason: Bulky water types trouble this team. Leafstorm can easily turn this into a win condition as a +2 Serperior can OHKO a lot of the meta. Leafstorm is primary STAB to easily pop Water types like opposing Slowbro, Keldeo, Azumarill, and more. Dragon Pulse is good coverage. Hidden Power Fire is there again for Ferro. I only have 3 mons that dont have trouble with ferro. Taunt is very useful against stall. This thing can taunt, set up with leafstorm and sweep stall. I prefer taunt but glare is a solid option.


Threatlist
Weavile
Charizard Y
Hazards
Probably more that I haven't seen yet.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you can leave some suggestions to improve this team.

I would use 160 HP / 96 SpA / 252 Spe with Timid on Tornadus-T. there's little reason to lower Tornadus-T's physical defense/overall bulk for a minimal and unnoticeable power gain to U-turn and Knock Off. those two are supporting moves and mainly used for purposes besides dealing big damage blows. the spread I recommended gives Tornadus-T the bulk needed to use her AV to maximum potential. max speed makes you quicker than regular Alakazam, an important pokémon to be faster than given her popularity. currently, your spread leaves you slower than and killed by Scarf Tyranitar which isn't ideal.

Ice Punch is superior to Dragon Claw on Tyranitar. you still damage the dragons you mention and gain the ability to deal bigger blows to Landorus-T, Gliscor and things like Thundurus-I without risking a Stone Edge miss. additionally, I would recommend Superpower over Earthquake. they have similar coverage but Superpower gives you wider coverage over things like Mamoswine, Diggersby and Ferrothorn while hitting Bisharp/opposing Tyranitar harder.

consider Psyshock over Flamethrower on Mega Slowbro. Psyshock lets you come out on top in a CM War against things like Clefable/Suicune, hit others like Keldeo/Mega Lopunny super effectively while providing nice neutral damage against pokémon like Mega Altaria. you already have fire coverage on Serperior and Tornadus-T for Ferrothorn, who you have a good chance of burning and wearing down with Slowbro's Scald anyway, so I think you can afford the change.

Clefable needs at least some physical bulk. I'd try 248 HP / 176 Def / 84 SpD with Calm. this gives you a good mix of bulk and increases the amount of hits she can take/2HKOs she can avoid overall. for example, you now take 45.9 - 54.3% from LO Latios' Psyshock compared to 55.8 - 66.2%. Garchomp's EQ now does 44.1 - 52% compared to 53.5 - 63.4%. Mega Lopunny's Return now does 45.6 - 54% compared to 56.5 - 67%. those are big differences.

Gliscor should be running at least some speed EVs for Bisharp to avoid a +2 Knock Off before you can EQ. one option is 244 HP / 192 Def / 72 Spe to outspeed Adamant Bisharp and Jolly Tyranitar. the other is 244 HP / 116 Def / 148 Spe to outrun Jolly Bisharp, which is the more common nature on SD sets. both of these spreads use Impish.

Thank you for the rates and the awesome suggestions! I will change flamethrower to psyshock on slowbro. I will try protect and a different ev spread on gliscor. Enough to outspeed jolly bisharp. When I put heal bell on clefable, I guess I had a brainfart. I'll make it slightly physically bulky and change heal bell to flamethrower. Yah, ice punch and super power over dragon claw and earthquake is a great idea. I'm hesitant on changing taunt to glare on serperior seeing how it's my stall breaker. Also I will try Perennail's ev spread for tornadus. Thank you for the rates, will post the results shortly!
 
looking at your team i can see it struggles with a couple mons:
bisharo doesnt have a switch in
mega gyarados is can beat the unawere of clef with mold breaker
charizard y has no switchcins
same with mega gardevoir
volcarona might just win from turn one
for all these reasons i recomend you to drop gliscor and tyranitar since they dont do much for your team and replace them with chestnaugt and chansey(with rocks).
gl :)
 
Yah, those are all threats. I really want to keep t-tar as it has been really useful so I'm switching gliscor for Chesnaut for mega gyarados and bisharp. I'm also switching Clefable to Chansey to check volcarona and mega charizard y with stealth rock. The sets look like this
Chesnaut
252 HP, 252Def, 4 Atk
Impish Nature, Leftorvers, Bulletproof
Leech Seed
spikes
Spikes shield
Drain Punch

Chansey
252 Def, 252SpD, 4 HP
Bold Nature, Eviolite, Natural Cure
Wish
Toxic
Stealth Rock
Protect
This worked out better than gliscor and Clefable. I like t-tar for the surprise factor. thank you!
All changes are up.

Replays coming soon
