Yeah I completely forgot the zard y + ttar combo.
Because of limitation to 5 turns of Sun your weather abuser should take full advantage of those few turns so give venusaur a fully offensive LO growth+3 attacks set.
He already has slowbro that walls the shit out of talon
What's currently the best EV spread for an Impish Mega Altaria? I've seen a few floating around and I'm not entirely sure which is best (I'm not the best at number crunching).
Before i can test out my team for a rmt post, i am looking for a 6th member for it and i am scratching my brain for the 6th member
I was looking for soem advice
team is biased around a the lati twins and is as follows
latias- bulky defogger
latios- choice scarf
Raikou -assault vest
Azumaril -Choice Band
Metagross-mega -all out attacker

I suggest you to run rock polish+3 attacks on metagross so it acts as your win condition. For the last slot you need a rock setter, lando-T basically fits every team so i suggest using it
I plan to use Crunch Mega Gyarados to ladder. Should I run Sub-DD or Taunt-DD Mega-Gyara? And what EV Spread should I be running? Standard 252 Atk and 252 Speed?
Taunt is generally better because you can stallbreak things like ferrothorn or whatever and set up on them freely and with moldbreaker you can taunt magic bounce users. Also for the spread, I use 8hp, 252 attack, 248 speed but with jolly, simply because after one dragon dance you can outspeed mega beedrill and mega sceptile, but it's all up to what you need. I just hate bloody beedrill. Go with 252 att, 252 speed adamant if you aren't worried about those two.
Mold Breaker only works if the opposing ability is nulifying or weakening Gyarados attacking moves.
No, it works with status moves too.
My bad, just've seen it works on status moves as well :p
What is the EV spread for an adamant choice scarf landorus to outspeed max speed greninja? I'm trying to speed creep, unforunantly on showdown it doesn't show the stat with a scarf.. likewise if I tried something similar with the damage calculator it doesn't show with band.
Adamant choice scarf landorus t is not good, because you need jolly to outspeed mega charizard X after a dragon dance.
Why Greninja only? Wouldn't you want to be able to speed creep on Mega Manectric as well and D-Dancers?
edit: gre-ninja'd
ATM greninja is pretty much the only thing I'm having difficulty with. I mostly just want to invest for him without a power drop or bulk decrease. Zard and manectric aren't my primary concern as I have alot of other means of dealing with them.
Does 136 EVs sound about right?

No, I'm serious. Adamant scarf lando-t is bad, just use jolly. There is no reason to give up that crucial speed.
Alright I'll give jolly a try then.

No .-.
Jolly, 252 Atk / 24 Def / 232 Spe (outspeeds adamant charizard X after a dragon dance)
Why would you run HP evs?
To avoid 2HKO's after SR
-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 24 Def Landorus-T: 166-196 (52 - 61.4%) -- 96.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Lopunny Return vs. 0 HP / 24 Def Landorus-T: 135-159 (42.3 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Tough Claws Metagross Zen Headbutt vs. 0 HP / 24 Def Landorus-T: 145-172 (45.4 - 53.9%) -- 3.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
(Yeah two of them got ice punch but assuming I make the best predictions.. I can't do anything anyway)
Want to be able to switch into things and revenge kill them with lando.
I'll give the 252 Atk / 24 Def / 232 Spe a try then. I can always adjust the spread.

It's not that a single mon can do everything at the same time. If you want a revenge killer scarf lando is one of the best out there, if you want an offensive/defensive (depending in spread) bulky pivot then fat lando is there for you. Just don't make some mixes of these two that end up not being able any of the roles.
It was rumored to be retested later on, but I wouldn't count on it.
I heard he may be retested soon. They had to deal with mence first which was priority one, so there's hope now that he's gone.
