Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP, Jolly Nature
Bullet Punch, Close Combat, Swords Dance, Crunch
This guy is my main sweeper. Gaining a Mega Evolution in Gen 6 is a godsend to Lucario, boosting his speed up much higher and increasing his attacking stats a ton. Swords Dance is natural on this set, increasing Lucario's wallbreaking powers. Bullet Punch is actually a lot stronger than it looks, as Mega Lucario has Adaptability, making STAB increase the power 2x. Close Combat the Fighting STAB move of choice, hitting anything that doesn't resist it hard. Crunch is the final move in this set and enables Lucario to get past a bunch of things that would wall him otherwise, like Jellicent or Slowbro.
Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SDef, Timid Nature
Magic Coat, Spore, Spikes, Sticky Web
This is my lead. Unfortunately, this set is complete Taunt bait, so I have to scout the opponent's team for a possible taunter before leading with this guy. Spore gives me a few extra turns to lay down hazards, and the other moves are all hazards. I decided to use Sticky Web over Toxic Spikes because usually if all goes well Lucario will be destroying everything in only a few turns. The effect of Toxic Spikes compared to Sticky Web's speed lowering effect is much less damage efficient. I typically use Sticky Web first after using Spore, because Sticky Web is the only NEEDED hazard for sweeping, as it stops faster revenge killers from stopping Lucario.
Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Atk, Careful Nature
Will-O-Wisp, Protect, Leech Seed, Substitute
Trevenant time! This is my only Generation 6 Pokemon (aside from Mega Lucario), but it is very useful. It acts as a spinblocker, annoying the heck out of spinners. I run a SubSeed/Sitrus Harvest set, eventually forcing the spinner out. Protect grants me free turns I can use to gain health from Leech Seed and regain my sitrus berry. I also use Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers. The EVs are straight forward, fully invested in Special Defense and HP. I changed this like you guys asked!
Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd, Timid Nature
Ice Beam, Surf, Recover, Rapid Spin
My spinner of choice. I really like Starmie for its speed and versatility, although it’s not as powerful as some of the other Pokemon in the game. Ice Beam covers Dragons while Surf is my STAB move of choice. Recover is necessary to continuously spin, and Rapid Spin is obviously a staple. I kind of still wanted Starmie to sometimes revenge kill, so I gave it full Speed EVs. However, I also wanted it to be bulky, so I invested in HP fully. This set does have some trouble with other Starmie that carry Thunderbolt, but I don't know what to do about it.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Spd, Adamant Nature
Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Earthquake, Ice Fang
This is both my backup sweeper and my Talonflame counter. Waterfall is my STAB move of choice, flinching and hitting hard. Dragon Dance is a nice sweeping move, though I'm still outsped by a lot of Scarfed Pokemon. Earthquake and Ice Fang are decent coverage moves. Intimidate and Leftovers let me use a bulky set, often allowing me an extra Dragon Dance/Attack. I really like Gyarados because Intimidate lets me function as a great pivot, while I can also just sweep right off the bat. Surprisingly enough, maybe 20% of my wins come from sweeps from this guy. I can also stop other opposing physical sweepers with Intimidate.
Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef, Adamant Nature
Earthquake, Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, Stone Edge
Earlier, I actually had quite the bit of trouble with Scarf Rotom-Wash. It outsped Lucario, could gain momentum through Volt Switch, and in general was very annoying. So, I put this guy on my team. Earthquake and Icicle Crash are great STAB moves, and Stone Edge is for added coverage. Ice Shard is for revenge killing and killing myself with Life Orb so they can’t spin. Mamoswine is actually turning out much better than I thought it would be. It hits extremely hard with Earthquake, though the miss chance for Icicle Crash and Stone Edge is very annoying.
Please rate my team! Thanks!
