Hello, this is my first RMT post, and i wanted to rate my team with gallade-mega, i think i need no more introduction
The team: Hippowdon, Gallade Mega, Magnezone, Weavile, Tapu-fini, Zapdos,
Hippowdon (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Roar
- Earthquake
-I run hippowdon as a stealth rock setter, defensive wall with rocky helmet and max hp and def to give troubles to pokemon like Mawile mega and the new usable Dragapult, both pokemon that are threats to Gallade. Hippowdon can switch into both of this pokes and another physical attackers with almost no fear, and force them out. The combination of sandstorm, stealth rock and rocky helmet give a good amount of cheap damage to the opponents.
Gallade-Mega @ Galladite
Ability: Inner Focus
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Close Combat
- Triple Axel
- Swords Dance
Gallade mega is probably my favorite mega of all, and i wanted to make a team around it, not really much to add to be honest. i run a 252 hp set to be able to resist some moves that a 4hp set could not. For example, this set can live a weather ball from neither timid or modest charizard y, that would result in a 50% of ohko and a ohko respectively if it was a non hp set. I keep the timid nature to mantain the speed tier, so it can outspeed threats like charizard y, kartana, etc. instead of a likely preferable adamant nature. I run zen hb and close combat as typical stab and triple axel for coverage against flying types like landorus-t and zapdos. Also run swords dance to compensate the missing attack that the HP set 'kind of' lacks. Overall, i like it.
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
Magnezone is a really powerful special attacker, with good typing and a really good match up against other steels because of its ability, 'Magnet Pull'. I run a common specs set, with speed ivs to outspeed and kill some common annoyances to Gallade and other teammates, like the steel birbs, skarmory and corviknight, being able to kill them and eliminating a check for hippowdon and gallade. HP fire to pokemon like other magnezones, kartana and ferrothornd, and volt switch for pivoting options, being able to bring teammates like Gallade and Weavile more safely.
Weavile @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- Ice Shard
Weavile is a good swords dance user, with a really high speed tier and good attack, its able to fire off knock offs almost guaranteed and its able to finish off damaged pokemon, it is really good agains threatening ghost types, like non scarf gengar, and its able to kill damaged dragapult and other pokemon that are common checks of gallade, like landorus-therian. Boots are a common item to prevent damage from rocks and speed drop from sticky web. It synergyzes well with hippowdon, because its able to deal with problematic grass types like tapu-bulu, and hippowdon can safely switch into incomings fire and rock moves.
Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 60 Def / 8 SpD / 192 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Taunt
- Draining Kiss
Tapu Fini thanks to its typing and its bulk its able to switch into potential checks to other teammates, like Greninja for Hippowdon or heatran to zapdos, and start set up infront of them without too much danger, calm mind raises its special bulk and offensiveness, letting it to be a late-game sweeper very threatening, kind of hard to take down in 1 hit and getting recovery of draining kiss. Its Fairy typing lets it switch safely into fighting types, threats to weavile and magnezone, and force out pokemon like dragapult.
Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 188 Def / 72 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Discharge
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Defog
Zapdos is a great defog user thanks to its typing and the heavy duty boots, its able to switch in a lot of pokemon, like grass or steel types, and defog or make a move on them, with heat wave is able to pressure and take for surprise pokemon like scizor and ferrothorn, that can get troublesome later on, thanks to its flying type is able to switch into predictable ground moves from pokemon like excadrill and then force them out.
i think thats all i have to explain of my team, sorry if i had any mistake at writing or a poorly one, its my first post and i am kinda lost tbh, i would appreciate suggestions or improvements (i can change basically all my team except gallade so yeah)
