Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Spd / 140 Def
Impish Nature
- Curse
- Shadow Claw
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
A sturdy spinblocker, which can also stall somewhat with leech seed, curse, and substitute. Also, it is a great anti-Excadrill, because Excadrill has a hard time getting through this thing.
Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Rest
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
A RestoChesto defensive Rotom, which can easily check much of the metagame. Most notably, it's a great check to Talonflame, which has been running about a lot this generation.
Deoxys-Defense @ Red Card
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave
A lead that can almost always set up stealth rock and at least one layer of spikes. Taunt prevents most other hazard leads from setting up, because with Deoxys-D fully invested in speed, it can outspeed many hazard leads.
Excadrill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef / 30 Spd
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
A great surprise to many opponents, assault vest Excadrill can tank many weaker special moves, and then retaliate. It takes out Rotom-W semi-reliably, surviving both Hydro pump and Scald and then OHKO
back with earthquake, as long as it isn't burned.
Talonflame
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
- Roost
A setup sweeper, this set trades speed for longevity. It may be out-sped by other talonflames, but it will always survive and will KO back with acrobatics.
Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Nasty Plot
- Vacuum Wave
- Flash Cannon
Specially-based setup sweeper. This set almost always is able to take out at least one of the opponents Pokemon. After a nasty plot boost, only a few Pokemon can stand in its way.
